I'm curious to know what they are going to call the next Nexus.

I'm hoping that that there is another one coming out. What do you guys think?

There probably will be another one. I just hope there is a 6" option. Maybe Nexus 6 2015?

Doubtful. I'm thinking this Nexus 6 will be the last for awhile if ever.

Man I hope not. I can't see myself dropping to a smaller screen now. This phone hits the sweet spot for me. Maybe they'll refresh this phone for 2015.

Rumor is a 5.7" from Huawei.

I did hear some things about Huawei making the next one. Honestly I don't really care who makes one as long as there is one.

Yeah, Huawei seems to make decent phones. I don't care as long as the radios are good, the build is solid, the camera is above average, and battery lasts a day. I want Nexus!

I predict another Lg based on the G4 called simply nexus

Do you have a reason to think this? Have you heard anything from Google themselves? Since there has been a new Nexus every year since 2010, I would bet money there will be another one this year.

I'm used to the 6" form factor now, but really hope it's no smaller than 5.7"

I think I'm OK with a phone in the 5.5-6" range, but I don't think I could go back to a phone smaller than that (my old N5 and my wife's Moto X'14 feel like childish toys now when I hold them).

I'm ok was the Nexus 6, but I would like it a little smaller. So 5.7" would be very welcomed. And I agree, they aren't killing the Nexus program.

I'm guessing the next Nexus device will be made by LG and resemble the LG G4. Lucky us. Mark my words.

Oh I'm sure they'll release another Nexus but not a Nexus 6. I guess at 5.7" is that not closer to 6"? They'll only release one size for a phone per year so this 5.7 will be it. The line is really getting blurred on these sizes. But the consensus is that 6"s is too big and for right now the sales show it so I don't see why they manufacture a refresh on a phone size that didn't sell well.

They never sell well. It's not a money maker for Google and it isn't expected to make them a bunch of money. Those earnings reports that came out aren't any different than years past.

Actually that's not true - they specifically attributed a drop in their "other" revenue departments to poor sales of the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 compared to Nexus sales last year. True the Nexus line is never a top seller, but that doesn't mean they don't want to sell them.

Of course they want to sell them, but they're not a money maker. Just because they did less than last year doesn't mean the won't keep making Nexus phones. They aren't going away. Just because they didn't reach their goal doesn't mean they kill off the program. And I think that article is right - the decline has more to do with price than size.

Hardware is not what makes Google their money.

 

[ottscay]

Oh, I heartily agree that they'll keep making Nexus phones, but I could see them stepping back from the 6" screen size if they feel that's what hurt sales numbers.

I think it was price, not size. The 5 was a great phone. And especially at the price. If the 6 was about $150-200 less, it would have sold a ton.

They could sell their Nexus phones for $99 and it still wouldn't put a dent into all the money they make. Billions and billions.

Oh I know. I'm just saying that it would have sold better if it was cheaper. And that's also why just because it didn't sell well doesn't mean they're killing it off. They don't expect to make much money off of them.
