As the world turns. Leaks are fun and everything but I'll just wait for more official news before I make judgement.
He makes a valid point, though. It's literally going back and forth, with evleaks tweeting jabs @onleaks, while the latter just adresses tweets directed toward him.

The Huawei one looks an awful lot like an iPhone 5S in the body of the iPhone 6+. iNexus?

I love it, hopefully both work harder as a result. they've gotten things wrong in the past, and they'll both get some things wrong in the future, but they're two of the more credible sources we have and I'm glad we have them.
Evan has me somewhat doubtful though with his 820 leak. if he's calling out OnLeaks, he better hope his source is right, otherwise he risks damaging his reputation. the M9 render was one thing, but to go out of your was to discredit a competitor, you better make sure you know what you're taking about.
Excellent point, and I agree. Evan Blass probably made the most important claim about the Huawei Nexus, saying that it'll have the SD 820. If he's proven to be wrong yet again, it would do serious damage to his reputation. In fact, just today I saw a tweet of his saying that he would never again do another interview. So, it could just be extreme jealousy on his part towards onleaks, given his track record so far. After his miserable fail in leaking the M9 last year, he better hope that the Huawei Nexus has the 820 in it.

agreed. he's definitely putting his reputation at risk. as much as you and I care about battery life, the biggest question by far about both Nexus phones is the chip.
even though I'll be fine with the 620/808/950, just like the M9, Evan has my hopes up pretty high. last time I blamed HTC, this time I'll blame him.
so what's your point? you judge a phone simply cause it resembles another one? what phone doesn't? I judge a phone by its features and UX, but I know a lot of android users these days care more about looks than function. it's why now our most prized flagship has a glass back and sealed battery.
Power and volume feels perfectly natural on the back of the G series. Seems like a great place for it.I feel like the fingerprint scanner on the back is a mistake. History taught us this with the atrix, htc one mwhatever, etc.
Doesn't seem like a natural spot for it. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's awesome. I guess I'm still let down by the current nexus that I don't have much hope for this years. Anyone know when this might get announced?
Not at all. Just thought it was funny that Google would put out something that's a blatant copy (design-wise) than the competition. I'm sure it'll still be a good phone

do you have the 6? reason I ask is cause the people I've talked to that have that or a Moto X, all say their finger naturally rests on that dimple, so maybe we'll get used to it.
another thing to consider is the front facing speakers. would you trade that in just for the sensor to be up front? personally I like the spot. i don't envision using it all that often so if I'm slightly inconvenienced so be it. I'll get a lot more use out of those speakers than I will the sensor. I also want the bezels as small as possible, and if it was up front the bottom bezel would be a lot bigger. with a 5.7" display, I'm not looking to add any height to an already larger device.
@OnLeaks FYI, both #Nexus Phones has been rendered by my man @Jermainesmit, based on leaked factory schematics I received from my faithful sources
Those saying it looks like an iPhone, well, it's just this artist's vision, not the actual phone.
I hope it doesn't look like this. I don't like it. Never been a fan of the look of iPhones and this is identical to it. If true, it'll definitely be out of contention for me. Style or LG version.
if it has all the features you're looking for at a reasonable price, you wouldn't get it simply cause it resembles an iPhone?
