Mmm, Nexus Pi(e)




Kidding aside I really hope they just keep the normal chronological name such as Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, etc.

The problem with that is that they can only name one more if they go that route. Nexus 7 would overlap with their tablet line

How fitting then, as it might be the last. One more is all they need.

I just said it would be fitting as there would be only one more number until they overlap the tablet line so why not only one more device.:)

I don't necessarily believe they are killing off the nexus line however.

I'll gladly take you're 5 bucks if they do though. (But I'd rather have the nexus devices around honestly).

Nexus won't die. There is no evidence and it was leaked by some guy from Russia. My guess is nexus 5.1, 5.2. That route seems better

Nexus 5 2014 edition, duh.
Or since it's rumored that the next Nexus phone will be the last, they could simply just drop the 5 moniker and call it the "Nexus."

I assume it'll be another 5" device, so just Nexus 5 (2014).

Just how the current Nexus 7 stayed as Nexus 7 and is differentiated by (2013).
The Nexus 4 was not a 4 inch device. It was the 4th generation Nexus phone and was followed by the Nexus 5 as the 5th generation Nexus. So the next Nexus would presumably be the Nexus 6.

It was a 4.7" device, so they went with the 4 number in the name. Just as the 5 is a 5" device, so they're going with 5 in the name.

If your argument is correct, why is the Nexus 7 called the Nexus 7? It's not the 7th tablet or device in Google's Nexus line. Nor is the Nexus 10 the 10th device in the Nexus line. So why name them 7 and 10?

It's based on screen size. Nexus 5 = 5" screen, Nexus 7 = 7" screen, Nexus 10 = 10" screen. Didn't think I'd have to explain this bleedingly obvious naming structure.

Got a Nexus 6 article pop up on my Google Now. Interesting points from Adam Mills:
- It will not be available in the 1st half of this year.
- The N4 price dropped before the N5 came out.
- We really don't know anything about it, rumors are non-existent.

Who the f**k writes this s**t? Can I filter his crappy posts so it never ever comes up in google searches?

The first Nexus was called the Nexus One and it was not a 1 inch screen. All of the non-Samsung Nexus devices - Nexus 1, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 all correlate to Nexus phone generation not screen size. I am not sure why you are bringing Nexus tablet naming convention into the Nexus phone discussion, it is a different market segment.
