The device does seem to feature a large 5.9-inch display

Google’s Nexus smartphone is not far away if we are to take the amount of leaks in the last couple of days into consideration. For the time being, the device is dubbed as Nexus 6, but Google may launch it under a different name.

We do know that the device will be manufactured by Motorola and is internally known as Shamu. Motorola Shamu is the 5.9-inch phablet that will presumably be launched on the market as Nexus 6.

Many people are questioning Google’s decision to go with such a big smartphone without offering customers a smaller choice. For those unfamiliar with the subject, a smaller 5.2-inch smartphone leaked several weeks ago, but we’re not sure whether or not Google will make it available along with the larger version.

On top of that, a recent report leaked another unannounced Motorola smartphone, the DROID Turbo, which appears to have the same specs as the smaller version of Nexus 6, which means that initial rumors might have gotten it wrong.

Shortly after the first mockup of the Nexus 6 was published online, the folks over at AndroidPolice received a few pictures of the alleged smartphone from an anonymous tipster.

The device seems to have been encased as to avoid showing the Nexus 6’s design. Since we already know it will be a slightly bigger Motorola Moto X, there doesn’t seem to be anything else that could surprise us in terms of look.

The important thing is that what we can see in these pictures perfectly matches up previous information, such as the position of the power and dual volume keys. We can also see that the smartphone runs Android L and that it features front-facing speakers.

These pictures did not come with any details on the phone’s specs, so we must rely on the latest rumors that claim the Nexus 6 will boast a 5.9-inch QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution and an impressive 13-megapixel OIS (optical image stabilization) camera on the back.

In the same piece of news, it looks like someone who didn’t want to wait for Google to make the Nexus 6 available on the market, carved one out of wood and compared it with Nexus 4 and 7.

The wooden mockup has been manufactured following Nexus 6 leaked specs, but there’s no telling how accurate these are as Google has yet to introduce the smartphone. Either way, thumbs up for this fan that saw an opportunity here and took it.
