We may have reasonable proof of the phone's existence, but not much backing up the 5.9" screen claim.
[Nexus 6  General] Wakamatsu:
Its codename is Shamu. That's proof enough for me. :silly:
[Nexus 6  General] doctor_droid:
Yup i agree...nexus 6 is nearby...

Shamu is name of a killer whale..

Let the prices of nexus 5 fall further...:p however ...5,9" is too much for a phone... May be a test device only
[Nexus 6  General] wideasleep1:
Shamu huh...I'm not proud...I'd hit it...
[Nexus 6  General] beaver2233:
+1 with 5.9" being too big. 5.2" is the maximum I would go for a phone. Would be extremely disappointed if the next Nexus phone was that big. Though I have faith in Google :P
[Nexus 6  General] eAsyy:
It's a rumour. A fake one. Motorola? Maybe. 5,9'? Don't believe.
[Nexus 6  General] wulsic:
I think the highest screensize google would go for is 5,5 so 5-5,5 for the display. I bet they would not make an 6 inch displaynor 5,95 inch display cause they're not dumb.
[Nexus 6  General] nomancoolboy:
Maybe a 5.5/5.2 inch 2k display but it will not be a PHONE if it crosses 5.5 inch mark ..

[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
they said it is going to be a lightweight version of the g3..and that suggests we might not even see some of the more premium features like 2K display
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
I love everything about the G3 except the OS. Can't wait for the Nexus 6!
[Nexus 6  General] TheKnux:
So when you say "except the OS", does that mean you hate Android? ?
[Nexus 6  General] Flamehell:
Too big for me....:(
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Yeah I blew a grand on an M8 and OPO just to do a 'Will it Blend?' video XD

No, I mean LG's skin :P

Too intensive and ugly. Don't like how they're trying to replace Google Now, and the S801 can't handle all the bloat.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
If the Next Nexus is 6 inches I would be stocked. No need for nexus 7!
[Nexus 6  General] symbol87:
I'd be down for a Nexus 6 being released if it means Google Playstore puts the 5 on sale like they did in past years when a new Nexus came out- time to move on from my trusty 4
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I suspect yes that will happen. Its due a drop now. Last year it was 28th August.

I bought 3 OnePlusOne each $360 delivered with 64gb storage 3Gb ram so the N5 needs to be say $250 for 32gb so at least $100 drop to be competitive. OPO also not charging sales tax whilst G Play does.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

FYI I sold my mint N4 for $245 total posted. So if N5 drops so does value of your N4.

[Nexus 6  General] bblzd:
Candians pay extra sales tax and delivery for the OPO, total came to $470 for the 64GB. Exactly how much my 32GB N5 cost actually.

I don't think they will try and lower the price of the next Nexus. Look for it to be the same $350/400 or even $50 more as with the N4 to N5.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Canadians can feel lucky, a spot check is the UK pays $514 Canadian vs $470 if in Canada.

I agree from extrapolations, Nexus 6 more likely larger screen just from 4->5 and higher price too, but it would be a pity as it just reduces interest given Nexus do tablets too. I'm wishing you're wrong, lobbying they don't and also agreeing with you.

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Me:

Nexus 4 bought in USA, sold in UK as N4 was a global phone, and UK is more expensive. Bought $392, sold $245 18 months later.

Nexus 5, waiting for out-of-state and small discount, bought $385 delivered. Not sure what will do with it, see next line

OPO bought for $360 delivered, I got one for my son first, played with it, it is a good phone, ordered, similar to N5 just bigger, will then decide do I sell N5 or OPO or keep both and make one spare. I can get both phones for price of say a LG G3.

So Nexus 6 has its work cut out for it if it wants to make it say a $450 phone..... speaking of which must sell my N5 soon as the N5 price drop is a month off.
[Nexus 6  General] Gorjira:
I'm hoping to get maybe between $300-$250(LOWEST) for my 32GB White one. Still in great condition so I'll just weigh it out when the time comes. Have to get the go-ahead from the Mrs. for the Nexus 6(?). I'm hype about that thing if the 5.9 inch screen turns out to be true! I was looking at the Xperia Z Ultra GPE when that price dropped. I like “phablets" and this would be perfect for me! I have small hands but I don't care!
[Nexus 6  General] Hoezack:
Sony has been really quiet. Could they be making the nexus phone? Software keys are PS like...
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
I just dropped water on the bottom of my GS3 and messed up the the bottom 1/4 of the display....

1) I sure hope the nexus 6 comes sometime in October (or sooner)

2) I've never been so happy to have ads show up in apps! (The ones across the bottom)

[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
The price and spec of the OPO is good, I bought one for my son, he liked, no flaws, bought one for my neighbour, he liked no flaws, bought one for myself (yes that good). I know OPO gets bad press but a lot of it is venting due to hard to get the phone followed by bugs of which many arent real. It is really the "son of Nexus".

I got another Europe trip coming up and looking forward to better battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
Oh I'd love an OPPO, but not available for Verizon, my carrier :/

Sent from Galaxy S3 running CM11
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
cheap fast reliable is my mantra. Hence Nexus, OPO, StraightTalk. I moved my neighbour from Verizon and my son from Sprint and both say glad they switched. I prefer T-Mobile's pricing but they dont have the coverage across USA. I put a UK SIM in my phone as I leave USA which covers Europe, so I only take GSM unlocked phones.

Oh cringe, Verizon.....
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
Yes, Verizon is a bit of a pain to be with sometimes, to me its mainly just the supported devices, as I feel the pricing is reasonable for the amount of coverage they offer.

I REALLY wish they were GSM though. I still have unlimited 4G LTE through Verizon though.

I was just looking at Straighttalk. $495 a year ($41.25 a month) for unlimited everything? That's a pretty good deal. How is their coverage and support for devices?

Sent from Galaxy S3 running CM11
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
The concept is

- you get your OS support from the community. So say stock or CM or PA etc

- unlocked phone of high spec.

- monthly carrier cost and switch porting number to get best deal and coverage

In case of OPO you're buying the phone and really just need OPO around to cover phone warranty. You are really committing to CM who give your OS patch and upgrade e.g Android L. Straightalk is just a cheap monthly provider I never call support as it works. Straightalk is not unlimited 4G it is 4G til 3GB then slower. You pair the limited 4G with the OPO 64GB storage and use local media you get when home on WiFi and complement with otg as required. The local storage then means isolated from speed and coverage issues.

Its an open reliable cheaper approach overall.
[Nexus 6  General] AlexTemina:
but, I don't get it. The new nexus is going to be a phablet? No new phone?

Phablet + android silver?
[Nexus 6  General] blablub44:
I wish they'd put in a sick battery. Not gonna happen though...
[Nexus 6  General] cas8180:
I believe att gets just as good of coverage and using them on straight talk is the best way to go IMO.
[Nexus 6  General] t-shock:
I think

I think that the next smartphone from google, will the :

Qualcom Snapdragon 810 64Bit

3GB RAM

32 or 64 GB internal memory

2k screen resolution

Adreno 430 GPU

20.7MP Camera

5.5 or 5.7 inch screen

The phone will be named ''Silver one'' and the company will be HTC or Motorola (Sony :p :p :p :silly: hahahahaha)

It will cost around 400 - 550 euro
[Nexus 6  General] Overdose1986:
Nexus 6 will have a

Mediatek

octacore CPU and... I'll pass

You mean "the father", I got a N4 and N5 and the 1+One beats them, its faster, great quality build, awesome 13mpx camera, super crazy price, cyanogenmod... Amazing phone
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I agree a great phone BUT 90% of people I mix with just say too big a phone it loses its single handed capability above the Nexus 5 size.

Does not suit most people. I am ambivalent about it. Wins on some issues like what you said but loses on others which is really pocket and one handed size.

For that negative point and from ownership experience I think make the speed and specs of OPO just make it the N5 size and perfect.
[Nexus 6  General] bblzd:
Agreed. I played around with a One+ and was impressed by everything but it's just too large. N5 is already impossible to reach the top of the screen without shifting your hand, but the same action with the OPO has it teetering back and forth precariously due to its extreme length.

I think everyone wants a bigger screen for obvious reasons and will continue to buy larger phones, but after using one for a while most will come to the realization that they're just too big for daily mobile use. In that way I don't see tablets disappearing any time soon and I think after this 6" screen rush the focus will shift back down to 5".
[Nexus 6  General] rg400smarttowel:

[Nexus 6  General] dondian:
Well till last week I was also in the "Nexus 5 is the optimal size" camp.

After 1 week with 1+1, I wish whoever ends up making next Nexus, goes for 5,5" and tiny bezel.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Well after my 5 days with my OPO I wish for smaller. You might be right with just shrinking the bezel but I'd have to hold it. I'm currently inclined to sell OPO and move back knowing I tried.
[Nexus 6  General] dondian:
I think it's a lot like first impressions etc. I think I made my decision (accepting the size) first time I held 1+1. And holding Nexus 5 feels strange (also nexus 5 feels a lot cheaper now).

Whomever I show the phone to, they say it's big.. but nice. ;)

[Nexus 6  General] ChazzMatt:
It's never represented the screen. The Nexus One was not 1". It was 3.5" The Nexus 4 was not 4", it was 4.7" -- and was the third nexus phone 4"or larger.

3 of 5 times it's been the generation number. Google has been inconsistent, except the Nexus smartphone has never been named after screen sizes. Tablets, yes. Smartphones, no.

gen1: Nexus One, 3.5"

gen2: Nexus S, 4.0"

gen3: Galaxy Nexus, 4.65"

gen4: Nexus 4, 4.7"

gen5: Nexus 5, 4.95"

gen6: Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] :
✋A very old debate. Lol
[Nexus 6  General] ChazzMatt:
Which is easily won by pointing out the facts. Even the nexus 5 is not 5.0". Google has NEVER made a 5" phone. It's 4.95". If Google wanted a 5.0" phone they easily could have specified one. HTC made one, Samsung made one, Sony has made several. All of Google's phones so far have been UNDER 5.0".

Bu It's the 5th NEXUS phone.

And don't say it's rounded up. At what point do you round up? :) The Nexus 4 is 4.7". Round up THAT. There's also the gen3 Galaxy Nexus at 4.65", and the Nexus S at 4.0". The Nexus 4 was the 4th Nexus phone, period -- but it was NOT 4".

Google started out with the Nexus One, then went away from generation numbers, then came back with the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. The smartphones preceded the tablets and are totally different in naming scheme. Deal with it.

What happens after the Nexus 6? Ask Google. They might change to words, they might change to Latin. 7 in Latin is septem. The Nexus Septem!
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
dont expect it to have the same bezels as the g3
[Nexus 6  General] :
Hopefully an SD slot
[Nexus 6  General] Charlus97:
I think, about 10 guys already explained that a few pages before. Was your post really necessary ?

Okay, I assume that my post is wrong. Does this make you feel better now ? :)

Anyway, I just hope that Google won't make Nexus 6 bigger than 5".
[Nexus 6  General] Vortex1969:
What do I think I still have my N5 now a One Plus and so if and when the Nexus 6 comes out the wife is going to kill me because I will have one.

[Nexus 6  General] svengalis:
5.5 inch screen, 3 GB of RAM and a 3,100 mAh battery are the latest rumros of the new phone. 5.5 inches is to big for me i may move to something else or not upgrade at all.
[Nexus 6  General] cas8180:
You just described the opo.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
The opo specs in the N5 case would be perfect. Today I got my old N5 setup for my wife and me on the opo. The size of the N5 is perfect. I have been using opo fully now a week.

I played with the LG G3 today it is usefully smaller than the opo but stupid overspec in the PPI and bloatware.

I know none of our words will make any impact on G but if they just make a N5 2014 version doubling battery and storage I'd buy it and my opo can then cascade down possibly to Craigslists as none I know want the opo due to its size.
[Nexus 6  General] cas8180:
I have had the n5 since launch and although the software is much more refined I do prefer the opo mainly for battery life. And to be honest I have medium sized hands and I noticed almost know difference at all switching between the n5 and the opo as far as frame is concerned. In fact to me the opo felt slimmer and sleeker to hold. The height I didn't even notice. I have to stretch for one handed operation but I don't often need to do that. I also prefer the opos calibration. I just sold me 32gb n5 on eBay. But will be hanging onto my 16gb version to test out android L.I honestly thing these are the two top phones right now compared to all other flagships when you look at their complete offerings. You really can't go wrong with either.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Agreed that when stationary and two handed the opo is fine in the hands. Easier thumped and easier on eyes yes absolutely better. I just find one handed whilst moving just that tad too a stretch. I'm balancing the opo very loosely to make it all work and I see an accident coming.

The N5 I could ride a bike and operate the phone. The opo I can't. Its really the width.

The height then has issues in pockets and pouches.

This is accepted a very individual choice no right best answer. However when away from geek forums and showing in real world everyone prefers the N5 size so I think if G made a bigger phone those who prefer it is smaller than those who felt it too big.

Opo shows what can be done at these costs. Go on Google do in volume better what opo showed could do in the small quantities.

I got opo invites plenty and I had them refused no interest by orders of magnitude more than welcomed the opo. Today I met only 4th person out over a hundred who wants an opo.

Most in the opo forum are fakes.
[Nexus 6  General] cas8180:
I had the opposite experiences in almost everyday.... Guess we are all screwed then and the rumors are true that the n6 will be 5.9 inches. It has been said time and time again that the nexus number refers to the screen size and not the iteration. So I guess we shall see. In really wanted an n6 but i really don't want to go past 5.5.
[Nexus 6  General] Renosh:
I quoted Chazzmatt cause I can't be bothered to confirm the sizes, but sadly you're wrong Nexus number doesn't correlate to screen size, Google didn't always use a number in every version and you should use some common sense instead of blindly following assumptions you've read from others. The Nexus 6 might be called Nexus 5 2014 so only time will tell, cause after 6 we'd have Nexus 7 which would conflict with the tablet
[Nexus 6  General] 7TimesCursed:
People are still asking for SD card slots in Nexus phones? Not sure if I should be annoyed, or impressed.
[Nexus 6  General] itasoulas:
+1 After a few generations of Nexus devices people still asking about SD card slots. It is getting really silly! But I guess it comes down to people being kinda "unsecure" and wanting to carry with them all of their media in a device which easily can be stolen or getting damaged. I think a 32gb version of a device is more than enough. The rest carry it on a USB OTG flash drive if you want which is so so very simple.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I agree 32gb is enough.

64gb is hence more than enough and plain simpler than SD slot or otg. Depends on the cost delta.
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
maybe I'm one of a few, but I don't want to be hassled with swapping out my music every couple months. I have about 45GB of music, so Id be fine with the 64GB version. Id PREFER a 128GB version or an SD slot. neither of those is likely though. Im currently on a device that has 32GB internal and 64GB external. The internal is pretty much overkill, but I do almost fill up my external, mainly music, sometimes movies for plane rides or long trips.

I cant wait for the day (year) when they make higher storage capacity the standard. But I guess where does it end, haha
[Nexus 6  General] yooitschuck:
For me I would love a phone with similar design to the nexus 5. I would want 64 bit, a bigger battery and an amoled screen.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
There is no "right" level. My media is 360GB so I have to swap out no matter what level. What I found at 16GB it was a frequent hassle, at 32GB is a less frequent hassle, at 64GB even less.....

I have a OTG cable, a WD 250GB and SG 500GB and Hitachi 1TB, the 250GB works reliably, the 500GB works after a few attempts, the 1TB doesn't work. I have a 64GB OTG stick. Hence i tend to leave the house with the phone stuffed and the 64GB stick.

So really, any level which is between 32GB-500GB is "nice to have" and it comes down to cost really. With OPO the 64GB is $50 more than 16GB it was a no-brainer.

For Nexus 6.... this all comes down to spec vs price.

SD slot. Well SD storage is expensive, in fact THE most expensive. e.g 64GB microSD is $40 upwards, 128GB is $115 upwards. Compared to external storage e.g. 500GB USB is $40. SD also doesnt' cover against phone theft. Its positives is it can be moved between phones and if you are that tiny % of users who precise needs fit exact in that narrow range where say 128GB SD makes it a perfect, then you're good.

So personally I'd think SD slot is low down in the priority, it comes with a cost complexity hassle, and I'd rather higher priority like waterproofing.

All these people with wishlists ... cough... I point to a $600 phone which has them all. There are consequences.
[Nexus 6  General] wideasleep1:
True..if you want a no-compromise solution..it exists as the G3. For media, however, it remains best to use a personal online cloud solution like Subsonic or a commercial service like Rhapsody/Google Music or whatever is best in your country. SD mainly used to support offline caching for those times when online isn't feasible. G3's quirks are easily surmounted and it is a very nice upgrade over the N5 in nearly every respect...at a price.

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
"best"? It is certainly AN option and makes sense for a % of users. I put a Raspberry Pi at home with 1TB USB attached and if I do need media I can pull it over Internet. That is a one-time cost <$100 for 1TB.

I don't rely on "cloud" (hate that word) storage as it relies on the 'net working (cellular service etc), I rely on local media for what I need to have and then "cloud" to augment for the nice-to-have.

FYI a typical home Wifi speed is now about the same as a typical home Internet speed meaning a WAN storage isn't much slower than a LAN storage, but comes at a cost, free for tiny amounts which is good for backup of key files.
[Nexus 6  General] wideasleep1:
Seems that Subsonic fits both of your scenarios. My collection of music and video is near a TB as well, available ubiquitously over LAN and WAN.

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
My main reason for not using the cloud is battery use.

I keep my music backed up in google Music in case I need to access it on another device though (My full library is on my phone and on my laptop).
[Nexus 6  General] wideasleep1:
Then (getting back on topic) the Nexus 6 may not be a good choice for you...lacking the SD storage...it is built for the cloud, regardless of how you feel about the word 'cloud'. [emoji5] Having migrated to Chromebooks from Windoze machines..I fully understand the value of offloading the storage and processing power to more capable hardware..as Nigel mentioned the LAN/WAN capacity equalisation has mitigated the need for pricey, spec-dependent hardware and places better focus on useful design and functionality. I think that is the goal of the Nexus project.

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[Nexus 6  General] XdrummerXboy:
I agree thats the goal of the nexus project. The "cloud" is the goal of many companies, (i.e. Microsoft's Office and Adobe's Photoshop to an extent). It certainly is the "future." I am just not sure if the technology, mainly battery life, is where it should be to make that leap.

However, if the Nexus 6 comes to Verizon I WILL get it, even if I need to make some adjustments to how I use my device. It would be different, but more beneficial in the long run.
