Nexus 6 speculation

Better speakers wouldn't hurt, too. My Moto X speakers make the Nexus 5 speakers sound like a mouse.
My dream list would be a Nexus 5 with:
- Same screen, much smaller bezel
- Bigger battery
- Better camera
- Headphone jack on bottom
- Front facing speakers
- Fingerprint reader
- SD card slot
I know the last few are pie-in-the-sky.

Motorola Nexus phablet is happening, Android Silver’s future uncertain
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-phablet-android-silver-411112/
I am excited to see how this upcoming Motorola 5.9" Nexus 6 Phablet will compete with the Note 4 this Fall ?
Will be neat to see if Google has special AOSP apps and customizations for a Phablet, like the S-Note stuff Samsung puts on the Note series, but done in stock Android.
Right now my next phone is either;
- Note 4
- Motorola Nexus 6 Phablet

Much better! Awesome specs. It'll be surprising if it starts at $349 this year.http://www.gsmarena.com/nexus_6_flaunts_snapdragon_805_on_antutu-news-9327.php

NICE
now that's what I'm talking about. 5.2" screen is the sweet spot. I was not digging the rumored 5.9" thing.

I'd buy that. I hope this one is the one they make.
This new rumor for the Nexus 6 makes perfect sense;
- 5.2" screen is a nice little bump up, and is in line with what they do every year, with a little larger screen size, so this seems totally normal and expected.
- Snapdragon 805 is the new standard this Fall in all Android phones, so no surprise there, I expect this. Every Nexus phone always gets whatever is the latest processor out.
- 3GB RAM ? I guess, that seems to be the standard paring with the 805 processor.
- WQHD display ? That also seems to be the new Android standard the second half of this year. I don't really want it, or see a need for it, to me 1080p is perfectly fine, and battery life worries me with that high res.
- Biggest question, battery size ? With that beastly resolution, we need at least a 3,000mAh to be decent, and sadly the Nexus phones always fall short on battery life, they gimp that every year Please Google put in a beast of a battery.
- Next question, who's the manufacturer ? Motorola ? If so, let's see some MAXX style 3,500mAh battery in the Nexus 6

So very yes. 5.2" is more like it.
Moto X+1 or Nexus 6!
Phone Arena: Motorola Shamu aka Nexus 6 full specs leak: 5.2" QHD screen, Snapdragon 805 and Android L

Agree. These rumored specs are spot on, and I predict 100% accurate. Nexus phones always come out with the latest processor. But fall short big time on battery.
Please please please put a MAXX style battery in Nexus 6.
Nexus phones always fall short on camera qualify as well.
Google and whoever partners with Google for the nexus line always takes a shortcut to save a few dollars with the camera qualify.
But Motorola isn't exactly known for making good cell phone cameras to begin with.
I thought I remember reading somewhere they were possibly doing:
nexus 5-phone (5.?")
nexus 6-phone (5.9") basically 6"
nexus 9-tablet
nexus 5-phone (5.?")
nexus 6-phone (5.9") basically 6"
nexus 9-tablet
Even if they include a huge battery inside the QHD display will suck a lot of juice. I think battery life would be similar to the G3 or slightly better due to smaller screen and better optimisation maybe.
Why the need for QHD seriously? 5.2 at 1080P like the G2 is perfect.
I don't need QHD on a phone!

What does QHD even mean? It's more tan 1080 resolution? Better colors? Better in sunlight? What's the draw?
Motorola event happening Sept 4th.

It's really going to come down to the MX+1 and Nexus 6 this year, I think. And if the Nexus 6 is based off of the MX+1, it'll be interesting to see which way people will lean between the two. They'd both, in theory, be very very similar, especially now that Motorola has been so good at updating to the latest OS versions. Price might be a factor. Custom colors for the MX+1 might be a factor.
Will be an interesting Fall, for sure.

It's between the Note 4 and Nexus 6 for me (yes, vast difference there).
If I was going to go Moto X+1, I'd probably just get the Nexus instead given the more consistent software updates and level of support.

I have QHD on my LG G3 and basically cannot tell the difference unless I hold the phone about an inch from my cornea.
I do think it's a bit pointless right now whilst battery savings would be more useful.
