Google Nexus 6 Release Date Expected in October, Specs, Features and Price Updates for the Upcoming New Nexus
Google is heating up the phablet competition as it's trying to come up with a gigantic phablet device with a 5.9 inch display called Nexus 6, aka Nexus X. Given the company's product launch history, it is likely that the new Nexus 6 will show up anytime within the next two months. Based on online leaks, the phablet is expected to be released on October 15 or 16. We gathered the following details so far.
It is said that Google is looking at the Moto X for the Nexus 6 design. Yet, the Nexus 6 is expected to have more powerful features than the said Motorola. The new Nexus is expected to have a 2.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805, a 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and a very sharp QHD display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution.
It is also expected to come with a 13 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, and a 2 megapixel front camera. Its battery is said to be 3200mAh, which is twice the power of the previous Nexus 5, and is said to provide 8 hours of battery life with just 15 minutes of charging. It is also said that the Nexus 6 will have an upgraded software called version 5.0 or "Android Lollipop". Currently called the "Android L", the software will bring changes to the Nexus home screen and Google app icons.
Supposed leaked photos of the Nexus 6 show that the next Nexus will have front-facing stereo speakers, with power and volume button at the lower part of the gadget.
As for the price, the Google's Nexus 6 might have a similar price range as the Nexus 5. Nexus 5 was $350 without contract, and so we can expect the Nexus 6 to have a similar price or higher.
