This is already available on lg phones not in the same way but similar. They have a one handed use option on their accessibility settings in g2 and g3 but i foirget the shortcut to it if there is a shortcut like the iPhone's double tap which is nice. Now this would be great to be implemented into Google Android as well and then every phone could have it.
[Nexus 6  General] VaggD:
I think a 5.9 inches screen will require higher specs, how is google supposed to keep the price at "nexus range" ?
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
You obviously haven't use a Note phone before. One handed usage WAS introduced by Android and the Galaxy Note line.

And why are we talking about about the iPhone 6??? There us forums for that, this isn't it.
[Nexus 6  General] dwang:
I think there is enough evidence to say that this is the nexus 6. While I would prefer an updated nexus 5, i'll still buy the nexus 6 when it comes out.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I don't think there's yet enough evidence, because I've seen contradictory evidence. The photo shows a pic implies 6" but the Antutu benchmark said 5.2"

Also where are the FCC postings which precede a Nexus?

I'd say there is consistent evidence of the HTC Nexus 9 4:3 ( I won't buy it only 3% bigger screen than the $199 Gpad I got this week) but not yet consistent evidence for the next Nexus phone.

Still, whatever happens I hope it is a great phone because I want all the macho geeks to buy it and dump their N5 so I can get a decent cheap mint condition N5 32GB as I'm simply not buying a 6" I'll take the cast-offs thankyou.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
What evidence? A sticker? That's no evidence.
[Nexus 6  General] Gorgenapper:
Are you trying to tell me that Android phones exist in a vacuum, competing only amongst other Android phones? This is one feature on the iPhone 6/6+ which greatly impressed me, among other things. I still wouldn't go back to iPhone and iOS because I like the power and freedom of Android.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I don't think its even a real sticker with a hand-written Shamu on it. Zoom in and notice the higher pixelation on the "Shamu" relative to the rest of the image? Looks a bad fake. I think the phone is real, the photo is real but it had something else there and someone has electronically wrote over "Shamu". When that real phone is released, heck gonna call it the Moto X2, then we'll chuckle.

Might be Nexus still though as there's nothing coming out of Google authoritatively since they said Android L coming in about a month and Nexus line not dead in June.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Did you not read my comment? Its already on android. And to your statement that irrelevant to anything. Yes all android companies compete.

The whole thing is fake but some how that's enough 'evidence' for for his whole thread to believe this is the next Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Yep those of us with long memories remember the new Nexus 10 2 tablet from this time last year, which never happened.

Create independent consistent evidence then it will look real. Scroll back a year and we had more consistent evidence of the N5 than we do now of N6. There photos of the real phone and people holding in contexts you can tell it couldn't be photoedited and the FCC approvals matched. Oh and the N4 price discount happened.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
I honestly don't think we'll have a Nexus this year. Just Android L
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
You might be right given the inconsistent leaks having fake-ness. Why else? Wait for the 808 ?
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Yeah. There hasn't been any legit leaks for a next nexus device or any FCC docs
[Nexus 6  General] Gorgenapper:
Thanks to all who brought to my attention the one hand operation in the Galaxy Note. Basically, you swipe left then right in one motion (or right then left) to shrink the screen down. The iPhone 6/6+ relies on a double tap action on the home button, and doesn't shrink the screen down, but rather drops the entire screen down about halfway so you can reach the topmost icons, or the controls at the top of the current app, etc.

If you had to ask me which system I prefer better, it would be the way Apple implemented it. I'm not an Apple fan, and will probably never go back to iOS thanks to its restrictive nature and lack of customizability, but you have to appreciate good design no matter who makes it.

Apple doesn't have to use some obscure gesture like left-right or right-left (correct me if I'm wrong). The double tap of the home button is very similar to a double click action, just with less force applied, so it remains very familiar to people who have used it before. The screen doesn't become a miniaturized version of itself, it remains the same size but simply moves down to facilitate access to the top part of the screen. This is important because, say, you wanted to click a settings icon on a webpage you visit, but it's near the top of the page. With the Samsung way, the whole screen becomes tinier, but the settings icon also becomes smaller. With the Apple way, everything remains the same size, it just moves within reach of your thumb.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Sounds completely opposite.
[Nexus 6  General] anuraj1:
I tried sifting through Moto's FCC filings yesterday. There is so much data there that it would be a full time job to find any mention of a nexus or Shamu without knowing the model number.
[Nexus 6  General] Gorgenapper:
You're not very open minded, are you? Explain to me how liking one software feature on iPhone 6/6+ makes me an Apple fan. Especially since I have stated how it is superior to the Samsung implementation. In terms of quality and completeness of design in both software (TouchWiz) and hardware, Samsung has always been far inferior to Apple.

Notice I said 'Samsung', not 'Android' or 'Google'.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Not that I'm not open minded, its that you constantly keep talking about iPhones when this thread is dedicated to the 'Nexus 6/X'

No one cares about the iPhone or what features they've implement, which runs far superior so any android (if that doesn't say fan boy I don't know what does). We're trying to figure out what phones comes out next. Not what's already been in the dust. So if you want to keep praising the iPhone do it in an iPhone forum.
[Nexus 6  General] nils.pap:
Think that might be it, considering we have no reliable leaks as of yet. Seems inconsistent of Google though, they used to release phones in Q4.

On the other hand, the nexus tablet date was pushed back 3 months, since both the N7's appeared in summer. Maybe the date for the nexus phone is pushed back as well?
[Nexus 6  General] skyxxx:
Will def buy with that spec :D
[Nexus 6  General] dwang:
here's another picture of a person holding the nexus 6/x running android L that was posted to droid-life comments section.

i suppose these could be photoshopped/faked as well.

However, one thing to note is that google doesn't give OEMs access to their next version of android (L in this case) until they actually release it. So if this device is indeed running Android L, the odds seem to favor that is a nexus device.
[Nexus 6  General] anuraj1:
The most intriguing thing on this pic for me is that it is running a 3.10 kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] dwang:
yeah, timerless multi-tasking seems like it would help with battery life.

http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.10
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
808/810 (for phones and I think tablets respectively) are such a major performance boost, if you released using current 805 it would spend 8+ month of its next year being "old".

Phones need faster not because they need more speed but so it runs cooler for longer for a given load which leads to better battery life. Add Project Volta and you may be talking a doubling of battery life even out of a small 2400mah size. It then is also 64bit, not because we need >4GB memory, but to give a year+ for all the apps to port to 64bit so they are ready for when users run so many concurrent apps they then need 4GB in 2016+.

Phones need to focus on battery life.

Tablet need to focus on performance. To really compete with the full OS on x86 like Linux (which is the best OS ever) and Windoze.

You then got Google in your hand, in your bag and they talk to Google apps in the backend running Linux. An Apple-free Micro$oft-free zone. Oh finally.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Earlier i said i wouldn't want a 6 inch phone but i realized i said the same thing for 4.5 inches back when 4 inches was big and then the same for 5 and look it now i have a 5.2 inch g2. So i guess i wouldn't really mind a big phone as long as it fits in my pocket. If that pic was real and it's only a little bigger than the g3 which I've held and was just barely still in comfort range then the nexus should still be alright because it wasnt much wider. Now i just hope the final product like more refined because the leaks were kinda ugly. But still for me everything depends on the price of whether ill get the nexus 6 the new moto x or the xperia z3 compact. So far z3 compacts in first because of price (im pretty sure last i saw was it was around 450 usd which is less than moto x) and nice size with still great specs while moto x has awesome features not sure about the camera and battery on it. It's gonna be a tough decision between the 3 for me.
[Nexus 6  General] Radixtrator:
To the fellas that say, Apples implementation of one handed use is great, need I remind you, that iOS does NOT have a system wide back button, but rather a stupidly positioned back button in the top left corner? The shrinking feature thingy only makes sense, so you can reach the Controls on the top. We don't need that. And for me personally, I have a Gpad with CM 11, and a N5. I tried the OPO for a month and couldn't get used to it. For people without tablets, I can see why they would buy a big phone like that. But otherwise I think its too big. G2 was perfect size IMO
[Nexus 6  General] larwindcunha:
Hope it won't bend too???
[Nexus 6  General] Note10.1Dude:
If a 5.2" version ships by mid-October this will be my next Phone. Otherwise I'm going Moto maker Pure.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I came here to type the exact same thing. Even though I would prefer it to be a Nexus, I'll be plenty happy if I end up with the Moto X Pure. Coming from the original Moto X, development aside, the thing is as good as any Nexus and then some. Stock android, with some truly amazing added features, and zero bloat. Not to mention the build quality and in-hand feel. Heck, active display alone is worth the price of admission. And considering it's only $550 for the 32gb version, it's still pretty cheap as far as high end phones are considered. I might even get both, especially if the Nexus ends up being 5.9". Use the Nexus at home for gaming, and I'll take the Moto X when I head out. Whatever happens, at least we'll end up with 2 awesome options.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/OnePlus-One,Motorola-Moto-X/phones/8603,7885

$200 more for reducing from 1080p to 720p from 3GB to 2GB, from 64GB to 32GB. Only thing I don't like is the 5.5" too-big.

I was having unsold $10 invites last week, everyone who wanted a OPO invite got one for free or not much by now.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I had the OPO, sold it after 3 days. Wasn't for me. Not to mention their customer service is the absolute WORST in the industry.

Also, the Moto X is 1080p this time around.
[Nexus 6  General] antifocus:
I definitely don't want a 6" phablet, but still I would probably buy it since it is a nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] jtwlbz:
I dont believe this rumor is true.
[Nexus 6  General] DroidDavi:
I think its going to be 6 . on all those picks the distance between the start of the status bar and the lock seem a lot farther then on the n5 and the nav buttons look a lot smaller. So unless there changing the DPI drastically I don't see how that would happen .
[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
Just bloody announce it already...the suspense is killing me
[Nexus 6  General] MrBelter:
Can't wait, it will give me something to cut my cheese on and on a weekend I can use it to go surfing.

I'll stick with my N5, I want a phone I can put in my pocket and still be able to sit down, I don't want to have to start using a manbag just for my phablet.
[Nexus 6  General] ralph78:
Same here, I won't get it if it's really going to be 6 inches.

Sent from my N5
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
it was obvious all along that this was gonna be a phablet, code name shamu, a... WHALE. I for one will embrace a manpurse or any other fashion accessory to tug along this brick, bring it on google, my body is ready ?
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
I can fit a samsung tab 3 7in in my pocket but not comfortably. The note 3 fit in my pockets pretty well as well so if this is around the note 3s size i won't mind but with how much bigger the screen is i think it'll end up bigger
[Nexus 6  General] floepie:
Anyone notice that in the most recent photo where the camera was set to overexpose, you can clearly see a difference in the blackness between the notification bar and the bezel. This tells me that the device will have an LCD screen as opposed to the Moto X. I was kinda hoping that the next Nexus would have an amoled screen, as they have a come a long way over the last couple years.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Yeah i like the screen on the new moto x ( from video comparisons havent actually held it in person yet) but i hope they at least fix the way colors represented. On nexus 5 they were too warm and on my nexus 10 though the screns awesome the colors are just off. When i use the same app on my g2 and nexus 10 ( clash of clans) you can see the difference in how the colors should look
[Nexus 6  General] Flooney:
My nexus 5 is still a great device. So no need for buy a new one.
[Nexus 6  General] kykint:
Will definitely buy if it has 5+ inches' screen and larger or replacable battery..
[Nexus 6  General] jason56d:
There is not usually a need for a couple of years (unless you lose or break it), its the urge!!! We all get it! My N5 is perfect for my needs and requirements (bar battery life) still. But I still want a new handset.

I am in the smaller is better for me camp.

A couple of friends have the Note 3 and had a decent play on them, and went into the Apple store to try the 6 plus, and can safely say, whilst they are all outstanding devices, I won't be getter anything that big anytime soon.

All were very uncomfortable to hold and use for any length of time for my medium sized hands.

So if Google don't release a smaller (5"- 5.3" max) model as well, then I shall look at either the Moto X, Moto 4G or Moto G to satisfy my urge in the short term.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Scratch my last comment(s)

Nexus 6

5"

3000mha battery

10mp rear camera

2mp front

Qi charging

NFC

Dual speakers ( not front facing ! )

Touch less control ( like moto X - why this never happened on nexus 5 is a mind feck )

Snap dragon 800+ whatever they bake next

16/32gb

Unibody design
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Add even length bezels (that account for the on screen buttons). So say 1" on the top, and 3/4" on the bottom so the 1/4" buttons make it looks the same.

Not accurate numbers, but hopefully you get the gist.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
I agree with evening out the top and bottom, but I think the bezels are damn near perfect on the n5.

I wish they would provide a scaled text box view when typing in landscape mode as editing text is still less than adequate ! ( drag size of keyboard down where the word sudgestions show ? )

I always have to write posts on my N7 !
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
do u guys think google will implement a microsd slot in their next flagship?
[Nexus 6  General] mysticfrog:
Negative on that.. One could only wish
[Nexus 6  General] FuMMoD:
They're doing away with expandable storage and replacing it with cloud services. I would be happy with 64gigs so I can load up some more music and have more roms in Multirom.
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Haha portrait mode on iPhone 5s=superior typing than on any other mobile device I've used. I can type almost as fast as if I'm on a keyboard XD

Never liked landscape on anything too much, and on Android I find myself using swipe-to-text.

More screen area is nice for posts, and I often times use my iPad for posts when I'm at home for that reason.
[Nexus 6  General] hacksome:
Hope Google stuffs in a HUGE battery and an SD Card Slot.
[Nexus 6  General] radicalisto:
Not sure Philip K ****'s estate would allow the use of the term "Nexus 6" depends if Google give them a few million... From the short story " Do Androids dream of electric sheep" or Blade Runner as most know it.
[Nexus 6  General] yyz71:
Sd card:rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  General] muyoso:
They would need to put a display larger than 5.9 inches in there to even consider calling it the Nexus 6, so I don't think that is going to be an issue. It will be Nexus 5 2014 edition or something similar.
[Nexus 6  General] Sensei3stacks:
All I want is a external SD card slot
[Nexus 6  General] bradputt:
<br />

<br />

The tradition of Nexus line was always based on flagship phone which have top of the range hardware too.[/QUOTE]

What's so flagship about the nexus 5, other than the snapdragon 800 soc? Which was the highest at launch time.
[Nexus 6  General] muyoso:
That is not going to happen. Why does anyone even mention SD cards when talking about future Nexus devices? Its just not going to happen, ever. Google couldn't make it more clear that they are moving Android away from SD cards, and at this point its no longer really even "moving", but "moved".
[Nexus 6  General] F4M0U569:
That's what HTC said before and look, their new m8 has a micro sd slot.
[Nexus 6  General] GUGUITOMTG4:
Remember there was not a 1" nexus one. Not to mention how to put a galaxy sized nexus in our pockets. Also this N5 is 4.9 inches. And N4 was 4.7"".
[Nexus 6  General] muyoso:
Yes, they started this current naming convention with the Nexus 4. Its beyond clear now that they name devices based on screen size. Nexus 4, nexus 5, nexus 7, nexus 7, nexus 10.
[Nexus 6  General] GUGUITOMTG4:
only true for tablets.
[Nexus 6  General] FuMMoD:
Nexus phones go by generation. Nexus tablets go by size. They didn't start with the Nexus 4. There was a Nexus one way before a Nexus 4.
[Nexus 6  General] TXRaunchy:
regardless of what the specs are going to be, we have to speculate that the purchasing price for the Nexus 6 will have to be similar to the other Nexi in the past. Thus prevents a lot of of the 'good' stuff from being added when it comes to manufacturing the phone.

really, how much extra would it cost to develop and manufacture a 2k display? it will it exceed the 350-450$ price range? if so, then they probably will slash that idea out.
[Nexus 6  General] 4tifjaved:
I think a screen size of around 6 inch will be far to big. I think it will ruin the nexus line as it will be a phablet rather than a phone. 4.7 or 5 inch would be ideal
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Hey guys. I am an iPhone user looking to jump to your team. I really want a stock android experience and the ability to get quick updates. If I buy the nexus 6 will I have any problems using it on AT&T? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] Milly7:
You should be good to go on AT&T.
[Nexus 6  General] jayRokk:
Nexus 5 is good for any GSM network.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Oh I know that urge VERY well. So does my bank account lol.

I get a new phone every 6 months or so. I have 2 perfectly great phones right now (N5, Moto X) yet I am about to buy the iPhone 6, and either the new Nexus or 2014 Moto X. There is no rational need for any of it, but smartphones and tablets are pretty much my one thing that I splurge on. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but that's their problem ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Thanks guys!
[Nexus 6  General] jason56d:
Oh me too mate! :) Have a Nokia 520 as well as I wanted to try Windows 8 mobile cheaply before taking the plunge as my main phone. Glad I didn't spend more as I don't like Windows 8. It is now my rarely used work phone!

Also have an iPad, a Nexus 7 and am getting an iPad mini from work on Monday. I need to be an octopus at this rate!!!

Getting back on topic, I really hope that for everyone's sake, Google release 2 sizes like Apple to keep all of us happy. Don't see why they can't?

Lastly, if any phone manufacturers venture in here, please please please do away with this fascination with making phones thinner! I will happily forgo a few mm of depth for an extra 12+ hours of pleasure! My wife does now!!! ;)
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
As an owners of Nexus 4, then Nexus 5, and then a "give it a try if hate it sell it" OnePlusOne, I know for my use and my hands 5" is upper limit.

I had plenty of OnePlusOne invites and I tried to give them to people out there away from forums in real life, to strangers mostly. About 95% refused one for the reason it was too big. I know these forums are dominated by phone geeks so the % are skewed into wanting bigger phones as the % who sit and use their phone with both hands is higher than real world real life where you need the 2nd hand for living.

In Android Police they did a poll and it does chime with my experience, out of 14,206 sample size, adding the "no way" + "probably not" + "smaller is better" is 69% those who are "yes"+"larger" 31%, so over 2:1 against a phone as big as the rumored 6". My experience away from geekville forums is even more about 9:1 against a large phone big.

[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah the one thing I don't own is a WP8 device, and I do want one just to have. I am one of the few people that actually like Windows 8 (at least on tablets) so I would love to have a matching phone to go with the couple Win 8 tabs I have.

I too have the N7, and an iPad Mini Retina. Do you like Win 8? If so, check out the Dell Venue 8 Pro. It's so cool- 8" Windows 8 x86 tablet that runs full Windows. The iPad is my favorite, but there is something about the Dell that I am completely fascinated by. I mean, it's literally a full computer in tablet form, and they can be had for about $200 now. If you like toys, I'd definitely check that one out.
[Nexus 6  General] jason56d:
I might have to do that now damn you! Don't like Win 8 on phone or PC. My son has it on his PC, mine is still 7.

Might be better in tablet form though? And if Google only bring out the larger screen phone, I will get a Moto G or something as a change, then I will have a the remainder of my slush fund to spend!
