14 DAY TRIAL // One of the smartphones that have been long rumored to arrive on shelves before the end of this year is the Nexus 6, and some more info on it is now available.
The handset, said a few times before to be coming from Motorola, is now rumored to also be the first device included in the Android Silver series, which should be replacing the Nexus lineup.
We’ve already heard a lot of rumors on the Android Silver program, yet no official confirmation on the matter has been provided as of now.
The new family of devices should include top-of-the-line smartphones coming from multiple mobile phone makers, and will replace both the Nexus series and the Google Play Edition phones, it seems.
According to a recent post on TK Tech News, the Nexus 6 will arrive on shelves at Verizon Wireless in the United States under the name of Moto S and will be the first device in the new Android Silver series.
The phone, spotted online before under the codename of Motorola Shamu, or Google Shamu, is said to feature a 5.2-inch or larger touchscreen display, one that should be able to deliver a Quad HD resolution.
Moreover, the handset is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 805 processor and to include a 13-megapixel camera on the back, along with a 2.1MP front camera.
A video that shows allegedly leaked screenshots coming from Motorola Shamu is also available for your viewing pleasure, accompanied by a photo with the screen protector that the upcoming device will supposedly sport.
Apparently, it will feature dual front speakers, the same as another forthcoming smartphone from Motorola, namely the Moto X+1.
None of the details above has been confirmed as of now, and there’s no telling whether they will pan out or not, so take all of them with a grain of salt for the time being.
Undoubtedly, a Nexus 6 smartphone will be coming later this year, most probably being the first handset to run under the Android L operating system version, but it remains to be seen if it will indeed be the aforementioned Motorola Shamu.
According to TK Tech News, the handset detailed above will certainly be released on Verizon’s network, yet the model name could not be verified.
Hopefully, it won’t be long before Google makes an official announcement on the matter and we’ll learn more on this phone, be it Moto S, Nexus 6, or however Motorola and Google decide to call it, so stay tuned for more on this.
