While we were made to believe that Google plans to pull the plug on its celebrated Nexus lineup in favor of the new android Silver series, many reports circulating the online have been suggesting otherwise. in this riddle over whether Nexus can survive or not and who is building subsequent device, a brand new report currently talks concerning subsequent Nexus smartphone which it may be designed by Motorola.
A new report by AndroidPolice says that Motorola is functioning on a brand new smartphone codenamed Shamu, hinting it could in all probability be the upcoming Nexus 6. “We are assured that Shamu may be a real device beneath active development, and fairly assured that it's a contestant for the Nexus program, but are just slightly less assured concerning its specs, simply due to the information at our disposal,” says the report.
Just like most of the sooner reports that lacked conviction, the new Motorola built Nexus 6 seems to on similar lines, at least for now. it's rumored to sport a large 5.9-inch display and run android L. Expected to launch in November, no alternative specs of the device are known nevertheless.
Apple is designing a large 5.5-inch variant for the iPhone and given the prevailing fad for giant screen devices in the market, we wouldn't be stunned to see a large Nexus 6 phone. However, a 5.9-inch display seems far large, even in this current market situation. After all, none of the 2014 flagships have exceeded 5.5 inches for display size. For now, let’s take this news with a pinch of salt.
A tweet from Google’s official handle had sparked some rumor round the Nexus 6 last month. The tweet was supposed to point out off the new ingredients feature in Google Search, and therefore the UI was rendered on an all new device, which was extremely purported to be the Nexus 6. Now, if you keep in mind, Nexus 5 was initial noticed in an exceedingly promotional video last year.
Earlier this year, rumors around Google’s premium lineup referred to as android Silver spread like wildfire. it was speculated that Silver would replace Nexus. Moreover, at the Google I/O, the company spoke concerning android One for the budget segment. So, obviously, it led to speculation that the budget ‘Droids would represent the One segment whereas the overpriced, premium lineup of device will be branded android Silver, with Nexus killed off.
But simply then there have been reports concerning HTC ‘s Nexus tablet. A 9-inch Nexus tablet code named Volantis popped up. we got more evidence that the Nexus programme isn't going anywhere, from the company itself. Google’s Dave Burke, the top of android engineering and therefore the Nexus programme had disclosed the company plans to stay building Nexus phones. “We are still invested with in Nexus. individuals have been commenting concerning Nexus as a result of there's something else and they think that means the end of Nexus. that's the entirely wrong conclusion to form,” he said.
Whether the Nexus programme survives the cut or not, we tend to are for sure in for some new hardware, as Google prepares to release Android’s L version in the fall.
