New Nexus???

[NJ Fred]

Does anyone know if a successor to the venerable N6/6P is in the works?

Upgrade time is approaching and my curiosity is piqued!

Thanks,

Fred

I'm sure there's going to be a successor. This is my upgrade year too.

I hope to see something around 5.5 inches, with Qi, stereo speakers, and AMOLED.

I agree. It would seem a little schizoid to enable split screen functioning and then shrink the size of the display. Then again, that sounds like exactly the sort of bonehead move HTC would make! Eeesh. I just scared myself!

There have been rumblings, but I heard there isn't going to be a 5X successor.

That's not the rumblings. The rumblings are LG isn't making it.

What makes you think that HTC will make the decision on screen size?

I would like to see HTC make a Nexus similar to that of the M8.

As long as they also make it a big brother Nexus that's basically a souped-up One Max.

Click bait sites like Yibada claim that the new Nexus will be released sometime in July, just before the Note 6. I doubt it highly, but since Preview One has already been released a full two months early, who knows?

If the rumors are true, I'm not keen on HTC making the Nexus at all. They put crap, low capacity batteries in their phones (from experience), and the bezels are a joke, although the ones on my 6P are up there).

Taking away the BoomSound front speakers makes it an automatic no-go for me. Finally, no one knows how good they are in terms of fingerprint implementation. If I'm not absolutely blown away by the next Nexus, I'm sticking with the 6P.

I love my 6p, so I can only hope that something just as awesome comes out this year. I was a small screen guy until I got the 6p, now I'm not sure I can go for anything less.

HTC Nexus can still have high quality stereo speakers without being called BoomSound. Fingerprint sensor shouldn't be an issue. We already know the A9 has very good fingerprint sensor.

I can't wait for Nexus season to begin. I'm ready to upgrade.

The nexus 6's 6 inch screen was amazing. Even though it wasn't that much larger. It even made the note 4 feel more like a 5.5 inch device when compared to the nexus 6.

Absolutely! I love the screen size. Can't wait for the next Nexus. 5.7 is the absolute smallest I'm going.

I like a smaller screen. Like most women, the thumbs just don't reach easily. Take this test and give it to a couple of women. (I'm not affiliated lol, it's the wsj).

(The phone examples used are outdated, but the measurements are interesting.)

Which is why it's a good idea to make two versions like last year.

HTC will place a 3000 mah battery in there max. Why can't other companies place big batteries in their phones like huawei
