Now that's highly unlikely though it'd be awesome. If it was waterproof then it'd be my next phone for sure. The only reason the z3 compact is still looking good to me is because of being waterproof
[Nexus 6  General] AndroidMilos:
It looks like Nexus 6 will also have wifi calling on TMO.
[Nexus 6  General] thacounty:

[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
If it is in fact going to be made by Motorola, there is a good chance it'll at least be water resistant. All their phones nowadays have that water repellant nano coating on them.
[Nexus 6  General] wideasleep1:
Especially anything IBT related..all noise and no facts. Most android and tech sites in general are clickbait.

Ok...so I got a OnePlus One from China. Unfortunately I'm getting crappy signal here in Canada on Bell. Tried looking for a solution. I gave my Nexus to my sister. She is willing to give it back to me and I'll give her the OPO since she uses it only on WiFi anyway. Think I will do this and then get a Nexus 6 (X) when it comes out. Does this sound like a decent idea?
[Nexus 6  General] Steve - O:
Sounds like a great plan! :good:

There's a guide on the OnePlus One section on how to unlock the required bands. Why don't you test it out first?

All I know is, If it isn't 64bit , I won't be buying it!
[Nexus 6  General] fkloznica:
It must be 64bit. Or they will showcase android 5 on htc nexus 64bit tablet ,and 2,3 weeks after that announce the new nexus phone that isn't 64bit.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
I did and tried different modems but couldn't get it to work. Someone with more knowledge might be able to but I couldn't.
[Nexus 6  General] Foxhunter123:
To me the waterproof feature will be groundbreaking... Because the phones are so good to everything - gps, camera etc that I use my phone in places I didn't do before with older phones...

My Nexus 4 got a waterdamage after 4 trips i a neopren phonebag for the arm (don't know the correct english word... :) ) when I used it for running 10 km...

And the camera on the phones are really so good (have a M7) that I can use it as my primary camera on vacations. But boattrips and trips to waterfalls etc is almost the certain death for smartphones that are not waterproof...

And then there is the unexplored world under water that can be documented by the SGS 5 (?) but surely the Sony Xperia Zs and that is why I personally hope for the Nexus 6 to be waterproof... (Had the Z3 compact just been with Full HD!!!)
[Nexus 6  General] mudnightoil:
Why would you want the Z3C to be 1920x1080? It'd be pointless on that screen size, and reduce the incredible battery life. Anyway, doubt there's any chance at all of the Nexus being waterproof.
[Nexus 6  General] Jimlarck:
Waterproof phones gave always been an eh for me. The Galaxy S5 and most of the Xperia devices with waterproof compatibility are such a hassle to charge and plug in earphones. Not to mention if the little cover comes off your ports/plugs you just lost your waterproof.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
With the z2 the headphones port is open so it's not difficult at all. There is a seal on the charging spot but even if it comes off it goes back in and they fit good that it should never come off unless you pull it. They're also really cheap replacement on eBay for just a couple bucks
[Nexus 6  General] Lucke:
with bluetooth and wireless charging... who needs a headphone jack and physical micro usb connection anyways :p
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Please tell me me this is sarcasm.
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
I had issues with my Z2. Particularly around the camera...you could see moisture in the lens. As far as I'm concerned waterproofing isn't up to what it should be just yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Jimlarck:
Hah, guess that's a good point!

Unless he found the way to unlock bootloader via BT :cool:
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
Exactly!! Right on the nail, that's why the s5 is thick compared to the s4, because of all the extra shieet it comes with... Smh I don't want my nexus looking all handicapped and ish just for waterproof.. No sir.. I don't watch porn in the shower, I watch it all over the bathroom tiles... [emoji41] again Waterproof and my s5 won't be missed..
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Water and dust proof would be the stupidest thing to be included, if it were included, on a nexus device.

Everyone needs to relax with all these wishes and "I hope it has so and so feature"

Its a nexus device. Look at the past nexus devices. Mediocre camera, great hardware and stock android. Its all to keep it at the affordable price range.

If you guys want all these gimmicks, go buy a Samsung, HTC or Sony phone.

I love my Nexus 5/4

All I really expect them to do is put in a better processing unit and maybe work on the camera. That's it. That's what a Nexus should be. It is a developer phone, not a phone to appeal to the mass consumer.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
How is water and dust proof a gimmick. And also there was an article that showed it barely costs any extra to waterproof a phone. The only thing it would add trouble to is designing a way to do it. My bro has a z2 and the waterproof comes in handy a lot.

You're right that that's not what nexus are about but honestly it's not really just a Dev phone anymore. Google also wants something to spread stock pure android with and I'm seeing lots more people with them that are definitely not devs
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Lol Nexus phones don't even have SD card slots but Waterproofing would be more stupid than it is on other phones?!!!!!!
[Nexus 6  General] anactoraaron:
Read the owners manual for waterproof (IP57/67) devices. Specifically about how to store the device. I had a Sony 'IP57' device that in the owners manual states to not 'expose the device to moisture or high levels of humidity' and to 'keep the device stored in an area free of dust and debris'... 'Damage from moisture/dirt/dust is NOT covered under the warranty terms'. I was like WTF isn't this IP57? It is a gimmick if the manufacturer excludes water/dust/etc that the IP57/67 device is supposed to be resistant to.

Read the fine print.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Dude I took my brothers z2 in a pool and took underwater pics with it. I also jumped in the pool while taking a video and the phone is perfectly fine. I don't care what the fine print said but it's water proof. It would've broke if it wasn't. Sony can't replace every phone that gets water damaged since the flaps have to be closed and if you don't use it right it's your fault. It should only be submerged up to 2 meters and no longer than 30 minutes at a time with 30 minutes between each period.

Water resistant is a different thing. I'm pretty sure that just refers to slight splashes or rain not complete converging of the device under water.
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
Obviously it doesn't cost anything if its gonna make the phone a bit bulkier because of the flaps, I'm gonna put a Case on it, I don't need it looking any more bulkier, plus this is a5.2 screen ain't no body got time for that!!
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
They don't make the phone much bulkier. The z2 is really thin and has flaps. The z2 with a case on looks the same size as my g2 with a case on (though the z2 is taller).

Either way it's unlikely that it'll be water proof so no reason to even argue this. I hope that it can at least be usable in the rain without having issues or survive some splashes of water without having to stick it in rice
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Nexus phones are Dev phones.

Android One, Moto G,E, X were all made to spread that pure android.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Well seems to me with all the stuff Google's doing now like google now launcher and the Google camera and simplifying things and the new material design they're trying to make it a phone for anyone as well as a Dev one. I know it's intended as one but plenty more people are starting to buy them that don't just use it for development. But I guess what I'm trying to say if even though they're Dev phones is starting to become more than
[Nexus 6  General] guess005:
If its 500...that defeats part of the nexus charm. At $399 (which would still be a hair too high) I'll provably still get it at launch as I have the past couple
[Nexus 6  General] GzC:
Corners cut in either camera, speaker or screen only, not SoC. After all, Nexus 5 still have a good camera even it just 8MP.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
megapixels dont equal quality
[Nexus 6  General] chaka809:
Intel already have a 64 bit that works with android 4.4
[Nexus 6  General] GUGUITOMTG4:
I wonder how much more space will a 64 bit Rom take. No to mention a fully bloated 64 bit Touchwiz :o:confused:
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Personally, I'm fine with cuts to speaker, camera, and SoC (look at the Moto X, it's extremely responsive with a dual-core). Just not the screen or build quality, as those are the ways you actually interface with the phone. Skimping in these areas is what makes your phone feel cheap.
[Nexus 6  General] inconceeeivable:
Not to be argumentative, but I don't think either of the Samsung made Nexus phones were top of the line at the time. And I say that with the utmost respect for the Galaxy Nexus. Amazing phone.
[Nexus 6  General] GzC:
It does, slightly.
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
^This. A 40MP camera will always be better than a 2mp one.

I would say, however, that the higher in MP count you go, the less they matter.
[Nexus 6  General] GzC:
Samsung made Nexus was top of the line... GNex was based on Galaxy S2 which is top of the line smartphone few years ago. They have the same SoC, only different is camera. Yet GNex screen was better than S2, which made it a great phone to have.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
megapixels dont do much in pictures quality except the pictures resolution or size..sensor size and type plus the lens used and the image signal processor are some of the major contributors to the images quality..a 2 megapixel camera with a proper sensor will take better pictures than a higher mp camera but then again..the picture would be too small..a camera with 4mp takes pictures of a resolution of 2664x1496..a 10mp 4216x2368 etc..
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Exactly. If a picture is too small to see, it doesn't matter how nice the lens is. That's why I said the more megapixels there are, the less they matter and the more the other lens qualities matter.
[Nexus 6  General] GUGUITOMTG4:
Something I hate about higher Megapixel phones. My mother's SGS4 takes photos bigger in Megabytes than some MP3 song:eek:
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
This^
[Nexus 6  General] dave2metz:
The latest rumors have HTC making the Nexus 6. It supposedly will be designed after the M8. Google has scrapped all previous designs with LG to go with HTC to compete with the big boys like the IPhone 6, Galaxy S5, etc. IBTimes has reported this today. They are not the least bit credible, so take this How you want... Next week they will probably have another company making the phone. Apple Nexus?

NEXUS 5
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Apple Nexus would actually be pretty cool. Apple hardware with Android? ;)
[Nexus 6  General] FuMMoD:
Knowing Ibtimes they're going to have an article starting Ferrari producing the next Nexus device. Sporting an soc made by McDonald's, a Camera by Nasa and designed by Apple. The phones body isn't going to be plastic either. Oh no, not if IBTimes can help it. It's going to be carved out of unicorn horns.
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
+1
[Nexus 6  General] WoodburyMan:
I'd only buy it if it had some huge performance bump not just a small incremental like a 8-core system, or 64bit. I would like RAM to be 3gb or 4gb. That it. Even a better screen wouldn't do it as i dont have any content over 1080p the Nexus 5 has anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] Jishnu Sur™:
Wonder why don't you buy a PC? :P
[Nexus 6  General] muyoso:
I think 64 bit is going to be a huge performance jump, much larger than people think. Its a lot more than just having the ability to use more RAM. 8 core I agree is just damn stupid, especially Evey implementation we have seen so far.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
I hope it doesn't start at 400 because then the next larger storage option would be 450. If it's 400 for the largest storage option id be happy with that. I'm just glad Google's not like apple who charge 100 extra for the more storage though even 50 seems high
[Nexus 6  General] Solid$nake008:
Yeah i'm pretty much in the same boat, i'm hoping for $399 because that to me would be perfect. Although it's supposed to have a 2k screen and from what i'm hearing the storage options will be 32GB and 64GB and an Snapdragon 805? Offering all that with Android L might bump up the price a bit don't you think? i hope not lol
[Nexus 6  General] rikudo:
How about a water resistant coating ( i.e liquipel). Adds no bulk while giving moderate resistance to spills and rain. Moto X has it.
[Nexus 6  General] guess005:
See, but it shouldn't. The model that Google seems to "sort of" follow is to sell nexus devices at a loss and make a profit from other services.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but nexus phones are sold for a small profit, but the $50 Google would axe from the price they will make back. $350 vs $400 isn't that much money, but it makes a big difference.
[Nexus 6  General] VaggD:
Yesterday I was comparing the nexus 5 and the new moto x and there aren't too many differences in specs so it got me thinking. All the previous nexus devices were streaped down versions of the company's flagship, for instance LG G2=Nexus 5. So how is Motorola supposed to release a device inferior to it's own flagship (when the differences will be too small and price will favor the nexus) without damaging it's own phone?

Maybe Google uses the snapdragon 615 or a different manufacturer ( if the rumors are true HTC will be realising the nexus 9 0, so why not and nexus 6) or maybe will Google wait until 810 is ready?
[Nexus 6  General] Foxhunter123:
The screen size on my M7 is 4,7" and Full HD which is a fantastic screen and all the different reviews of the M7 said it was fantastic. So why should full HD not be a thing you will notice on a 4,6" screen on the Z3C...???

I understand the different argument against waterproofness on a Nexus 6 / any phone at all - but for my use it will be an issue in the future! If I can get phones that are waterproof why should I buy one that is not...?
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Exactly
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Exactly

Edit: unless you live in the desert lol (but even then you could spill stuff on it)
[Nexus 6  General] Solid$nake008:
Then don't buy it.......that simple no offense
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Water proof or not it's probably gonna be my top choice for next phone but im just saying it'd be a nice plus if it was water proof (or at least water resistant like moto phones that someone mentioned earlier, id actually rather have that so then it won't need flaps which seems to cause complaint)
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
A nice 200$ plus added to the 350$ we're used to.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
As was already said adding the water resistance that moto does with it's phones costs almost nothing and adds no bulk. And the actual water proofing costs a little extra but not much according to an article from An Android site. ( ill link it here when i find it again) but it does add the flaps that no one likes.

But having just water resistance shouldn't be a problem and if motos making it thwn there's a good chance for it
[Nexus 6  General] Langduscher:
A Nexus phone, originally intended as a dev phone, now really is a phone for "casual rooters", because of the ease of the process and reverting mistakes & support.

Therefore it will be marketed to them (us) and yes that may imply a higher price (which will still be " cheap").

I've learned that most people on most forums don't want a phablet. I'm guessing Google is doing their homework too. So if it is smaller than 5.5" I might not get it. In this segment they've got competition.

Same goes for waterproof, etc. etc.

Buy what you want/ need. Most of us here have multiple phones anyway, so...
[Nexus 6  General] DerRingkeeper:
I think waterproofing is overrated. I used all my phone in nearly every weather without problems.

Or do you really want to go swimming with it? Even with IP67, I`d never do this, it`s not really made for swimming. It`s a marketing joke...
[Nexus 6  General] ps000000:
I am also wonder that the number of custom ROMs in OnePlus One forum is growning that fast. (May be faster than Nexus 5). :silly:
[Nexus 6  General] doctor_droid:
False marketing is a crime...nothing such as marketing joke... When they say 1m and 30 minutes water resistant ..they mean it...btw swimming pool by all means is deeper than 1m :p
[Nexus 6  General] DerRingkeeper:
I don`t think so. There is a huge amount of stories about the Moto Defy and the S4 active with water damages. The S5 "water test" when they dropped the phone into a glass of water showed a few drops inside the case. I can`t imagine what happens, when you go real swimming (and move the device under water alot) with it.

It may be a nice protection for heavy raining or when you accidentally drop it into the toilet or something :D
[Nexus 6  General] doctor_droid:
Lol :p

To be frank a device being waterproof is not a deciding factor for me... Its just an extra perk ...but definately not a deciding factor.
[Nexus 6  General] Laggalot:

Agree with this post wholeheartedly. I love the Nexus for the exact reasons you mentioned above. It was the phone I switched to after owning iPhones and I've been so happy with it since I did. Frankly, I don't mind the whole phablet thing - the size of the phone doesn't really matter to me so much. Anything above 4" is usually good for me and even 5.5" is fine.
[Nexus 6  General] doctor_droid:
Nexus are known to be less costly as compared to other flagships..for cost cutting...i really dont see a bigger battery and a metal body anywhere near....

[Nexus 6  General] brianbrain:
Just throwing this out there..

I can't see Google releasing L alongside the 64-Bit Nexus 9 (or whatever it's called) and then also releasing a new Nexus phone that is "only" 32-Bit. It seems contradictory. Google: "Welcome to 64-Bit android!" "...and here is our new Nexus 5 (2014) that doesn't support it!"

Who knows, I could certainly be wrong. Maybe they would do that. But I don't think so.

Personally, I don't think we're going to see a new Nexus 5/6 this year if it has to use a Snapdragon 801/805. It just doesn't make sense. We've heard very few rumors about the new Nexus phone as well, but plenty about the tablet, which seems to me to indicate that the new Nexus may turn into a Q1/Q2 2015 affair.

Of course there are other options. Nvidia and Google have been working very closely on project Denver. Early on, Nvidia claimed that the primary goal of Denver was to create a powerful SOC that would be "phone friendly". HUGE speculation, and most likely wrong, but there is always the possibility that we may see Denver in the Nexus 9, as well as in the Nexus 5/6. They would need to pair the SOC with a modem, however, which may not be bad, depending on which modem they were to use - Nvidia's own Icera modems are just not that competitive right now. Intel, however, has a brand new beast of a modem in the XMM7260. I can dream, and my dream of the next Nexus is with a power optimized (lower clocks, voltages, binned) project Denver on-board with an XMM7260 baseband.

...but even I know that last dream is highly unlikely..hah.
[Nexus 6  General] Elluel:
That is all.
[Nexus 6  General] The-Kevster:
From a marketing perspective I agree. Technically it makes sense. 64bit allows a device to have more then 4GB of RAM and a single process/application to use more then 2GB. A tablet with its higher pixel count would theoretically have a reason to use more then 2GB for a game. But when you think that GTAV on the Xbox 360 is far superior to any mobile game and the 360 only has 512MB of RAM. It's all a bit unnecessary :)
[Nexus 6  General] ElementalXY:
The whole idea of 64 bit is 3 factors:

1. Future proof. Expect the Nexus 6 will last for at least 2-3 years since 64 bit architecture will develop over time

2. Reasonable processor architecture that will face Apple's 64 bit chips. Single core performance on Qualcomm isn't that great so we have to see a step up for that as well

3. Better control of the phone. I honestly expect battery efficient phones to be released later on with 64 bit support because of the better output that we'll be seeing from them.

It's not just about RAM, it's much more about performance.

[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
There's a few independent data points which suggest the HTC 9" tablet looks real.

I personally doubt Android L will be baked enough to allow shipping with Android L for at least a month hence any mid-October HTC 9" tablet my own guess is demo launch day with a date available of Oct 30th.

I have not seen a consistent set of data points for a Nexus "6" (successor to N5).

Many of us will simply not buy on usability reasons a 5.9" N6 but open, depending on features and price, a 5.2"
[Nexus 6  General] fkloznica:
I think the nexus x/nexus 6 will not be unveiled this year. All clues are going that way..

~30 days until launch and there is not one picture of the phone ? Yea right..
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
It's possible. Nexus 5 started having rumors really early but no actual pics until About 2 months before. Maybe they just cracked down on security so no leaks lol:p though usually it seems they leak on purpose to get some excitement going

"clues" - what clues? Waiting for 808/10?
