The Nexus 2015 Thread

[AndroidDario]

It's still early but it's time to sum up all the rumors and news about the new Nexus here.
So, what's sure about the new Google phone?

That it will not be made by Motorola!
Jokes aside, I want a 5" Nexus phone from Google, made by LG if possible.

I am using the Nexus 5, and I still love this phone! Hope the new one will spot a 5.5 screen and 3GB of ram. Hope LG will manufacture the new phone, it's almost two years I own the 5 and never had a problem. Have to say that it's starting showing some "age" limitations.

If the flagship nexus can be what the Moto X Style is expected to be but with a slightly better battery and a fingerprint reader then I'm sold.

Nothing... it's all just rumors right now.

I think fingerprint scanner and USB-C are pretty much a given after I/O and their custom Nexus 5

This is what made me get rid of my N5 for the G4. My battery was draining even if I wasn't using it. The G4 has been a nice phone, but I'm anxiously waiting for the 2015 Nexus to come out so I can get back to the pure Android experience!

Iam hoping that Google has a little more originality in naming these (2) rumored devices!!! Should be 7 and 8 but wait they can't use 7 its been taken twice pffft...... Iam thinking they should call them 8 and 11. Call the tablets (nexus tab. #1 so on and so on)...

I never understood why people care what they call a phone. I think they'll go in a different direction since the numbers are running out, like moto did with play and style ... I really can care less though

Agree... just give us a real announcement about the devices... real specs, photos... they could call them Nexus M&Ms, I don't care.

 

[robert7107]

I think it's pretty simple

You can care less? You care at least a little bit then?

It's likely going to be the Nexus 5 2015 and Nexus 6 2015 as far as the naming goes. Just as with the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 editions.

yeah whatever, lol ... we'll find out soon enough what they decide I guess!! I think they'll move away from the numbers though.

It's my understanding the reason most people think LG will call it the Nexus 5 2015 is because they built the Nexus 5, and Motorola built the Nexus 6... so WHY would Huawei name their version the Nexus 6 2015?

 

[landale]

I think Google is trying to keep the Nexus names sort of specific to the manufacturer so I agree LG making a Nexus 5 (2015) makes sense much like Asus with the Nexus 7 (2012) and (2013) models. I wouldn't be surprised if the Huawei is something like the Nexus 6H or maybe they finally start moving away from the number scheme completely as it's going to start being very limiting if they keep changing manufacturers year to year.

Because it's Google's phone they can name it whatever they want

 

[Zendroid1]

Nexus 5 = ~5"
Nexus 6 = ~6'

What makes you think this?

It looks to me as though they have shown no interest in placing the manufacturer's own brands on the Nexus devices since the Galaxy Nexus way back in 2011. That was the odd one out.

I don't see why they'd ruin a perfectly good naming scheme for the sake of differentiating the manufacturer that made the device. The emphasis has always been on the device itself and the pure Android experience. Why would they dilute the brand and overly complicate things for no good reason? Not that it hasn't been done before by other companies, but it'd make no logical sense.

They should keep it to how it currently is with the devices names being based loosely on the screen size of the display. Nexus 10 was ~10 inches, Nexus 9 was ~9 inches, Nexus 7 was ~7 inches, Nexus 6 was ~6 inches, Nexus 5 was ~5 inches etc. They already found a way to differentiate between generations of the same sized device and that was simply to plonk the year at the end of the name of the device.
