Exactly, this is stupid, I'm saying there's no way that phone will be 5.9, it's just too inconvenient for the customer.IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! you guys want a tablet then wait for the htc nexus 8/9 tablet...

why in the f!/# would they make a phone 1 inch less than their tablet nexus 7?!! Come on guys!?! Let's be a Little be more detective here and not just give in to 5.9 just because there's photos leaking around about a random phone that doesn't even say nexus on it, and looks just like the Moto X but bigger..ummmm "Moto XL"

those photos are curve balls about the size, they don't want us knowing about their product till THEYYY actually leak it or easter egg it in a video....

5.2 baby, nexus is a geek dreams phone 5.9 wouldn't fit in his geeky little skinny jeans with his Starbucks in his hands, abs his college bookbag on his back, why would he carry 2 bags(man bag). . Why!!!!!!

look deep into this! !!

Any thoughts guys? ?
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
That's a lot of text for a post that could be summarised in one word.

Denial. :)
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
And your just assuming it's 5.9... why? Because of some photos? So what are you saying? F$#@ Moto XL? Is that what your saying? Or are you saying nexus 6 = 5.9 and Moto XL 6.9? Well ummmm idk let's leak another random pic so we can confirm and rely on these leaks

DOESN'T MAKE SENSEEEEEE!!!

5.2[emoji41]
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Separate out the probability from the logic.

The leaks are being backed so it appears this monster is happening.

Why?

it will sell. There is a market for these things.

big phones are attractive in certain contexts e.g. for budget reasons a big phone is cheaper than a smaller phone plus tablet

some people just buy because it exists and so as seller if you price it high enough you will make more actual money than selling far more but lower margin phones

basically just because something is stupid doesnt mean it wont happen or will fail

However we don't know the full story. There are plenty if reasons why this monster is leaked now and this is all we're seeing leaked

bigger phones are less attractive on average so need more feedback from testers hence in more hands and each hand is an opportunity to leak

small phones are thermally limited due to smaller heat dissipation

smaller phones have less space for battery

all these issues suggest to get a much better phone in 5" size you have to wait for the 808 due next year

so we might just see a two phone roadmap this monster sooner and a 5 update next year. That latter phone being later you'd not see leaks now plus it needs less field testing as same size will be easily accepted.

if that was the actual truth then you'd all be cool as then those who want to give up both hands to a phone and have the right handbags or pockets will be happy and the rest also happy

The Nexus 5 is a very good phone. it just needs a price drop. What if this new 6" phone is announced at sane time as say a $100 N5 price drop?
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Not just Some photos...

How about many leaks?

Android Police

Droid Life

9to5 Google

Android Central

All claiming to have very reliable sources.

How about the 5.9" Nexus appearing on Best Buy & in European websites as well?

How about the fact its called Shamu, & that this is the only phone to have been seen on Google's own issue tracker with a google-built kernel?

How about the fact that Nexus is a reference device, and is needed to a have a larger screen to assist developers in these types of phones?

Sooo many reasons, information & images that point towards a 5.9" Nexus - get over it.

If you ain't gonna buy it, why you still here?

Are you getting the Moto X 2014?

Or the OnePlus?

Or maybe an iPhone 6?

Or as I predict, you'll be buying the Nexus 6 with its 5.9" screen!
[Nexus 6  General] KidCarter93:
Why doesn't 5.9" make sense?

As of right now, clearly none of us know for sure how big it will be so you saying it definitely won't be 5.9 is ridiculous (unless you've got some kind of information which the rest of us don't have - which I highly doubt).

Obviously 5.9 isn't an ideal size but big phones from each of the OEMs are huge sellers and the smartphones are getting bigger. This doesn't necessarily mean that Google have also gone with a huge size but it would be more logical for the Nexus 6 to be a big phone rather than a smaller phone
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Big screen phones are in demand!

Between the iPhone 6+, Note 3/4, G3, OnePlus & the new Nexus 6...

Chinese phones are even bigger!

Phones above 5.5" are gonna take up the majority of sales of the year. :)
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
Nexus 5 = 4.9

Moto X (2014) = 5.2

Nexus 6 = 5.5

Moto XL =5.9 (Shamu = XL = 5.9

That makes more sense

That's like saying Samsung puts out the galaxy s6 as a 5.5 and note 5 at let's say 5.8 it wouldn't make sense
[Nexus 6  General] fkloznica:
It won't go for 400$ .. N5 is 350 and 400 and i think it will continue to sell alongside nexus 6/x. Therefore new nexus must be 450$ + . that's my 2 cents
[Nexus 6  General] lexusisf:
I meant $400 for 16GB
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
All those who make big phones make smaller ones, or have smaller in the pipeline.

A big phone is not illogical if it is extending your market range.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
I'm buying the iPhone 6 plus dude...oh wait [emoji1]
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
It is illogical when your forcing the user to be its only option, and nexus line has never offered 2 sizes (only in memory)... I'm telling you 5.9 isn't happening[emoji41]
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Nobody is forcing you to do anything.

You either buy it, or you don't.

Luckily for you, you have plenty of phones to choose from.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
For a Nexus fan, who has had good specs for relatively low price, it is popular, it still sells well, when sold at $379 it sells fast, and used prices still >$300 for good condition. Compare prices

Nexus 5 32GB ~ $379 street price

Moto X 2014, $537.49 delivered for 16GB model (has SD slot)

OnePlusOne $360 delivered 64GB

iPhone 6+ 64 delivered $981

If you're wanting specs and price and not so bothered about size, the OnePlusOne stands out. If you are bothered by size, still, the Nexus 5 appeals.

The interest in because it is Nexus it is low cost whilst still high specs.

Not much time to wait, the same leak sources of the N6 claim mid-October 16th-ish and not a big launch just an announcement.

Personally, my plan is look for a N5 32GB at an appropriate cost given its age which for me is new/mint for <$300 and so hoping the prices drop given the N6, ideally due to Google taking $100+ off the price (but then is it costing more to make than its price???) or indirectly due to it then being the "old" model. I may or may not sell my OPO as sometimes a big screen 64GB model makes sense but usually it doesn't.
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
Not if your a loyal nexus fan will they force you one size knowing that's a big jump for the users. No way no how, I just know 5.9 will not happen, it's all apt strategy in this game and they ate not going to flop the nexus line and lose money investing a big phone... just not gonna cut it... iPhone has a big phone but also offered a regular size

Samsung Offers the note, but also offers the phone

Don't offers the big phone and the compact series

I'm saying man if your into investing money in a business and you know it's like playing chess..Google out of all ppl ate not gonna make a dumb abrupt move like that, their not!
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
at some point google was gonna test the market with a phablet since demand for larger devices is increasing , besides they don't make their money in hardware sales so is not a huge risk and last but not least, they know most nexus fans(the ones hanging around xda) will pull the trigger anyway so is low risk to drop a whale instead of a shark

the writing is on the wall with the latest leaks
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Thumbs up for effort.

Stop comparing Nexus to OEMs who offer multiple devices to suit everyone.

This isn't, and never will be the case for a Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
If logic ruled then Microsoft wouldn't exist.:o that is one of the biggest embarrassments of our species we actually implicitly paid for expensive buggy slow bloatware. Cringe. Still shows how big businesses can manipulate the masses into dumb. Fortunately Linux is slowly ascending. :victory:

I agree 5.9" is illogical but the evidence suggests it is happening. Let's wait for the announcement. I'm hoping for a N5 price drop alongside, it will implicitly and if you're wanting a N5 then you actually want all those with mint N5 now to love the N6 and dump their N5 on ebay, which currently sells good condition for >$300.

I bought the OPO when the rumors at that time was there was NO future Nexus (yes the rumors have kept changing). $360 delivered for 6GB 5.5" screen, makes the Apple fools (another example of illogica) paying $900 for something of 2 year old spec.

[IMG="illogica Apple fans should have jumped to Android years ago"]http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/midas/8105ee83d1e5fca0d6a830b1892e0977/200738115/iphone6-infographic.jpg[/IMG]

I give these examples of illogical decision from big businesses to illustrate dumb happens because species can be made to want anything at any price. A Nexus will simply sell, there's been plenty of "I'm buying it" posts here and they not even seen the price.
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
Exactly hence I said they aren't going to be abrupt about it and force a big phone to nerdy college students with their Starbucks Coffee bag in one hand and a 2 handed phone, picture that real life scenerio... and nexus is pointed out to the nerds and geeks, and intellectual ppl with suit cases in their hands, and their coffee for the morning, it won't make roomfor such a big phone, they won't buy it, if they don't buy it. .then Google will lose sales. ...
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
2k screen

Snapdragon 805

3gb ram

13mp

Metal frame

Stereo speakers

Low low price.

Don't try & tell me it won't sell because its 5.9", as it will, just like all previous Nexus devices.

Are you gonna spend more for a Moto X, with a slower chipset, less ram, lower resolution screen, poor battery & a Mono speaker?

Dont think so.

Are you gonna go & buy the OnePlus, with its slower chipset, lower resolution, mono speaker running cyanogen? (Especially when it goes against your argument of not wanting a large phone....)

Don't think so.

So what exactly are you left with?

Maybe the G3? - but its still a large phone, more expensive, mono speaker & only running the 801 plus its heavily skinned with slow updates....

Face the truth - you'll either keep the N5 or upgrade to the N6, even with its 5.9" screen.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I agree that the % of people who like the N6 to buy it will be smaller than % of people who liked the N5 and bought it. That doesn't predict anything though about what will actually happen. We've yet to see the price and we've yet to see the roadmap. A two-phone roadmap would appear to be the most logical but bear in mind those two phones then compete and the dithering you get from people undecided means double phones don't lead to that much more sales. A N6 by itself will cause more N6 sold than how many N6 sell if there is also a N5.

You can also look at it another way, the chinese phones are doing a very good job at the Nexus 5 specs but lower price so why bother competing there anyway? My OnePlusOne has had no flaws, very reliable and very fast and lots of capacity for a new price 80% of the N5 (comparing with tax+shipping). OnePlus's next phone is going to be smaller, because we agree, large is dumb. Larger phones are easier to make, less thermal issues and you can fit a bigger battery, my OPO lasts almost 2 days, most days 16 hours off power ~ 60% battery left.

OnePlusOne is easy to get.
[Nexus 6  General] badboy47:
Hmm good point. I might buy a big purse for it to carry it around.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
We don't know how those stereo speaker will operate. Plenty of models such as in tablet space where its not true stereo just 2 speakers.

We don't know price, there is no leak on price just speculation. My own prediction is $450 just down to drawing a line from N4 N5 $50 increase, but then why would Motorola be involved in selling a $450 higher cost phone which undermine their Moto X? Surely if Moto X is $537.49 why would you let a Moto X larger sell for less? Moto X pricing indicates Moxo X+ is $600+, so there's a conflict between Motorola and Google here.

Pricing will be interesting:confused:

I agree it will sell just not as attractive as the N5.

Well yes I was amazed when I go to site and go through to buy it a disappointing price for its spec when you've bought a N5 or OPO.

OnePlusOne is not about the phone, it is about the phone for a price $360 delivered still wins an argument compared to new N5 $454 or new Moto X 16GB for $537.49

I agree the N6 will sell, just not as well as the N5 did. I agree, the current N5 owners will either keep current N5 or buy N6. The other valid option still is OPO, for its price.

There are two problems with big phones. The width affects holding and using, the height affects the fitting in pockets. The N6 will be harder to use than OPO which is harder to use than the N5.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Hey don't know if you read my post. I referred to the nexus 5 when it leaked and in pictures of the preproduction model it didn't have the word nexus on it. Most pre production models don't have things like that. Denial man. No one is forcing you

[Nexus 6  General] Venomous Viper 119:
As far as my thoughts go, my speculations will come true for the most part. At the end of the day, every one has their wish list for the new nexus. But despite a few or be it even too many disappointments, you're gonna buy the nexus 6. You know why?! Because it's a "nexus " & we all know how it feels to own a nexus ;)

Exactly!

A Nexus with great battery & great speakers.

I'd say, Google Listened!

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

People didn't want a 5" phone, 4.7" was perfect!

.... and that doesn't say Nexus - its fake!

LOL :)
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Lol. Didn't take long to find it on google but after that guy made the comment "its the moto xl not the nexus!! It doesn't say nexus so its not nexus!??" I immediately thought of this. I got my nexus 5 6 months after launch as I was still rocking the HTC one m7. Not planning on getting the nexus 6 but maybe in the summer in case something happens to my n5
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
No.

Many will but not all.

It is simply too big for most people. It will be harder to operate, it will fall more often and with bumper to protect it won't fit in most pockets. Telling you factually as having had N5 and OPO I don't like the OPO size and want to move back just waiting for N5 price drop either used/new. My OPO falls more often it tends to fall out the pocket more often sat down, an even bigger one will fall even more.

Also why would I want to squint at a tiny 6" screen when I can look at a $150 new 7" Nexus 7 screen or a 8.3" $199 new Gpad 8.3 or a $240 new Tab Pro......

Heck, N5+N7 street price is same as what the N6 is likely.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Just more evidence. In 2012 the preproduction model nexus 4 WITHOUT the nexus logo on the back. I also went back in time and saw some leaks of the galaxy nexus and nexus s. Those models actually didn't have the word nexus printed on the back. Just "google". So stating that just because this nexus 6 leaked phone isn't nexus just because it doesn't have the " nexus" logo is illogical. As stating many many times. More evidence from reputable sites like AP are pointing to it being a nexus and not anything else. http://www.mygreatphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/lg-nexus-4-leaked-photos-front-back.jpg
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
But it says Google, not LG.

So we know hence its actually Nexus.

Where is the Google logo on the rear of "Nexus 6"......

..... nowhere.....

Oh right a sticker "Shamu", who's name is elsewhere a 5.2" not 5.9"

I do think the N6 is happening just because the authoritative conviction of likes of AndroidCentral and AndroidAuthority just let's see what the total story is, we might be seeing also a N5 revision sometime
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Yeah I'm aware. Other non nexus phone had google located on the back in the early android days such as the mytouch3g and the HTC one. Plus the final version of the nexus 4 had nexus printed afterwards.
[Nexus 6  General] jlmcr87:
If you don´t like the nexus 6, why don´t you wait for the nexus 5 refresh(nexus 5 2020 for example:D)? There is no need of upgrading the nexus 5 this year, so they release a bigger phone. I want a new nexus 5 with the snapdragon 810:good: maybe next year?
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
What do you guys honestly think the price of the nexus 6 will be by storage option?
[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
Has anything been mentioned with the FCC about the phone?? How long before release does it need to go through the FCC??
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
I wouldn't be surprised if the 16gb starts at more than the 16 GB nexus 5 did just due to the screen size. But I'm think google will announce something soon. Last year the nexus 5 released October 31st
[Nexus 6  General] NotLutzik:
Bigger battery

Maybe 5.2 screen

Better speaker
[Nexus 6  General] Zutx:
Cool

I want better speakers and better battery life without having to root and install a custom kernel
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
I wish the nexus 6 did have a 6 inch screen keeping the debate alive if the nexus is named after generation or size. To me it seems ridiculous that it's named after size. Not that I know but the nexus 4 was a lot closer to a 5 inch screen than a 4.0 screen.

Only thing I care about is better battery life

Also I wonder if Google is making all the adjustments regarding SD card because it plans to reintroduce the SD card minimizing fears of SD card being insecure and/or just messy for the user. I doubt it but could be a possibility. Thanks to Samsung I doubt that the SD card is going anywhere. Even HTC put back the SD card which was reserved only for low end devices with little internal space like the One V

it would be good for the nexus 5 (2014) to be produced by huawei or htc.
[Nexus 6  General] FuMMoD:
The Nexus 4 with its "4 inch" display that is much closer to 5 inches if you're rounding off to the closest inch.

The Nexus one with its 1 inch screen lmfao.

Why are you comparing a phone to a tablet. The tablet naming has been squashed and acknowledged that they always have been named due to size. The Nexus phone does not follow this pattern. The tablets have always followed it since their Introduction. By your reasoning then that means the phones have done the same since their introduction, hence the one inch screen on the Nexus one.
[Nexus 6  General] deeren:
[MENTION=1632145]FuMMoD[/MENTION] we could go on and on for hours, days even months till oct/nov arguing ; each one bringing his own arguments but at the end of the day nobody can prove himself right cause google never revealed them. Its all about ' i think, i suppose'. :))

We'll just have to wait and see.

Dont worry i'll be the first to PM you if i am right and well if i am wrong i'll just disable my message inbox.hahaha.

Cheers/
[Nexus 6  General] FuMMoD:
Haha fair enough but come on at least acknowledge that there are more phones matching the generations than the screen size. I did notice that there is a pattern with the Nexus "firsts". Nexus one is the first 1ghz single core processor. The Nexus 4 is the first quad core processor Nexus. The Nexus 5 is the first phone that's about 5 inches in display size.
[Nexus 6  General] deeren:
Ohhh absolutely. I do agree that your reasoning about the generation thing makes sense too. I was just expressing my thoughts :)

On another note: even if (which i dont think) htc builds the next one, i cant see it having an aluminium body seeing how google makes it mandatory for wireless charging on their phones. I just wish for aome sort of 'high class' plastic and built quality like the lumia high end series.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Alls I knows......I will never own a phone much bigger than 5 inches. If every phone ever made now is 6 inches and bigger....I guess I'll be buying used nexus 5's til I pass on. Lol

[Nexus 6  General] FuMMoD:
I wanted the next Nexus to be made by Motorola since they're churning out really good phones. The Moto X is such a little beast for it's class. Even though the lower specs it's still a good phone. Imagine Motorola making a Nexus device with the same concept as the Moto X and upgrading the hardware. On top of that it'll match the Motorola 360 watch. I can only hope haha. :D
[Nexus 6  General] Wingzer:
No there isn't you've just made all this up.

[Nexus 6  General] Asheque:
My Name is

It is too early to say but for sure it's not gonna be what you have there. To be honest in my opinion it would be something very similar to Lg Flex. No way will it have 2k display. Octa-core? possible since lot of Chinese already got that now, should not be a challenge for google to implement that. Might be gpu adreno 8-- since Lg flex got that. As for ram , very high chance it would be 4gb if not 3 gb for sure. Camera? frankly lot of pixel don't necessarily mean better pic though thats a common misunderstanding. But I think it should be at least 12-13 mega-pixel.
[Nexus 6  General] deeren:
Yeah that would be great indeed. The problem with Motorola is that they are not marketed widely. I mean taking moto x and g as examples, in Europe they went on sale only 2 months ago in France, Germany and UK. I for one have never seen a motox, or g or droid , RAZR maxx in my life, not even in the carriers shops. that might be a problem to countries where Google play store is inexistent.

Even HTC bowed down & finally included Micro SD option in their flagship phone so hope the next one does come with one
[Nexus 6  General] mrfeuss:
HTC HAD to include a MicroSD card because the M8 HAS to succeed. They weren't going to leave out an often-requested feature and miss out on potential sales. If the M8 doesn't pull them up by their bootstraps they're sunk. Google WILL NEVER add a MicroSD slot to any of their Nexus devices. They've stated many times over why they will not officially support MicroSD.
