Someone pointed out all the sides are using the old Google logo.
I guess they could have been prepared before the logo change...
This image make me think that this new Nexus 6P will target the mass market this time.

If that so... they will need more than a decent camera and decent battery life to be successful. Then on top of that a strong marketing campaign. I believe Google just promoting the new iteration of Android more than trying to be a competitor in the mobile market.
If Google markets the Nexus line as the device then I believe they really trying to push the Nexus brand name to the masses. Their past Nexus devices marketing strategies have been safe and neutral.
camera will have to be better, but not battery. going "mainstream" has resulted in thinner phones with smaller batteries (Samsung/Apple) so I don't think the average Joe cares as much about that as camera and aesthetics.
to your point, it's all about marketing. Samsung spent $14 billion in marketing last year, and I'm sure Apple wasn't too far behind.
IMO Fi, and I've been saying this for 6 months (not that it's a ground breaking thought our anything) serves as a huge incentive for Nexus to go mainstream.
What worries me is that I could have written those slides myself based completely on the leaks.
I couldn't see any images that weren't leaked in the last couple of weeks, nor can I see any specs or features which haven't been leaked.
As mentioned before, they have mistakenly used the old Google logo.
So this could easily be a troll
the date on the slides says August, so it was created before the new logo was released. I'm sure Google's presentation will have the updated version
Ok that makes me feel better
I think the people like me and you that have been following this forum for months, have a pretty good feel for what's legit and what's not. I'd say everything released from AP the past week is good as gold.
I'm want to see if that USB-C is type 3.0 and I'm looking forward to more pictures. that pic on the slides of the "hump" from the side, shows we made a big fuss over nothing. for people that lay their phone flat, it'll be a good thing.
I love the aesthetics, they've grown on me, especially the graphite color. I'd much rather this design over a protruding camera like on the 5x.
And obviously anxious to get a release date and price, and hope there's at least a couple surprises AP hasn't mentioned.
last thing, AC did that article on Nexus, and it talks about how Nexus serves as a model for OEMs. well hopefully in 2016 they'll use the 3450 mAh battery as a BASE STANDARD. we can talk about efficiency all we want, but a larger battery needs to accompany it in order to compensate for these phones continuing to get more powerful.
I bet it was probably only for internal use. Maybe for rehearsing the keynote or something.the date on the slides says August, so it was created before the new logo was released. I'm sure Google's presentation will have the updated version
I'm not sure we can trust this leak. The leaked specs in this topic lead to a rear sensor with 1.55μm unit cell size.
As much as I hope this is true, I have to say that Sony doesn't produce such a captor actually (except for the custom one made especially for the iPhone 6S/6 plus maybe) and all Huawei phones uses the same IMX 278 that has unit cells size of only 1.12μm.
