Google Shamu: Motorola Nexus 6 (Nexus X)

Re: Motorola Nexus 6/Nexus X/Shamu

The internal specs on this phone look awesome, but I'm not sure about the size. I'd have to feel it in my hand.

I'm hoping that 1) it'll come to Verizon and 2) that there are smaller sizes as well.

If true, then another win for happasaiyan. He said Shamu was a massive sucker way back in early August.

They say it's a render, but it's pretty much exactly what I saw.

It will be on VZW.

Thinking the Moto X 14' is more for me. Si is just to big.

Will it have wireless charging? I don't see how wireless charging is not a standard feature on all phones in 2014 and beyond??? The specs look awesome and I am ready for this to drop....

Why wouldn't it? Both of the Nexus devices released last year have it. I can't imagine Google dropping it.

I'm a little torn I've been interested in the last 2 notes but have stuck with nexus. If I am going to go that big I may just go note 4. Still big but with a remove battery and SD slot. Then again I may just go moto x

I'm in the exact same boat. I want the X, but battery and camera suffer. The has a killer screen, camera and battery.

What are the odds of a smaller nexus as well?

OK, if you don't mind, I want your opinion on this. First off, I would like you preference on what phone is the "right size". Personally, I loved the real estate on my GS3. I "downsized" to the 2013 Moto X and I like it, but I do wish the screen was a little bigger like this year's model. What are your thoughts on this? Now, after reading your comment regarding this size you prefer, did you feel this phone was too damn big?

I've been waiting for a Nexus on Verizon since the Galaxy. I'm just worried that 6" might be too big but I'll definitely listen to your opinion on the matter

Sony Xperia Z3 is great in every area.

Maybe not a big deal for you, but I'd say resolution. Only 720p.

I'm hoping for this also.

happasaiyan,
This will sell on the Playstore for sure. My question is what carriers will sell this phone?

Re: Motorola Nexus 6/Nexus X/Shamu

I could see if it had 64 bit but reports show that it will not be included with the Nexus 6. If it is just a bump in tech specs, then it is not worth going up from my Nexus 5. Perfectly happy with the size and performance of the Nexus 5. Just need L please.

I honestly have no idea. Because of all the 5.2" rumors, I often wonder if there is another Nexus in the pipeline (Moto or otherwise). That's just a guess, though.

I personally love the size of the Moto X (2013). I wouldn't mind the size of the new one TOO much, though I would still prefer the size of the 2013 one. The edges of the 2014 X allow it to still be used one-handed for most things, and is nicer to hold than an S5 (for example).

Shamu, however, is way too big for my tastes. Having that much screen in your pocket is nice, but functionally using the phone is completely different. One-handed operation is out of the question unless you are just reading.

I was told "all major."

Whether that includes Sprint or not is up for interpretation, I guess.

Yeah, you seem to think close to my ballpark. Moto X 2013 is a wee bit too small especially w/ the on-screen buttons. I would love a 5.5" or something in that range. Hopefully you're just not aware they're going to have two different sizes of this phone

Re: Motorola Nexus 6/Nexus X/Shamu

I'm torn between the X, Turbo, and the N6. As much as I would love to get straight android on the N6, I like what Moto has done with their apps on the X, especially coming from a current Maxx.

What are the chances those could be side loaded to work on an N6?
