Nexus 6 / Nexus X / Moto S / Moto X ‘Shamu’: Latest Google Rumors
Could the Nexus 6 be built by HTC instead of Motorola?
There has been much talk recently about Google collaborating with Motorola on its latest Nexus phone.
The Nexus 6, code-named “Shamu,” is also known as the Moto S, Moto X, and Nexus X.
Phone Arena notes that Google and Motorola have to call the phone “Moto X” because they cannot use the “Nexus 6″ term without copyright violations.
This is so as Nexus 6 cyborgs featured in Philip K. Dick’s famous novel, Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner in films), and his family could sue Google for trademark violations if they call their phone “Nexus 6.”
The Nexus X is most probably not just speculation, as reliable tech tipster TK Tech News has managed to dig up information from Best Buy indicating that a Nexus X device is going for sale.
TK Tech News also says that the Nexus X is will be sold at Best Buy in October.
Verizon will be carrying the phone in the United States.
The Nexus X supposedly has either a 5.3-inch or 6.3-inch 2K display resolution, a 2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with an Adreno 420 GPU, and has a 13 mega-pixel rear camera and a 2.1 mega-pixel front camera, but doesn’t come with a fingerprint scanner.
It will run on the latest Google OS, the Android Lemon Meringue Pie 5.0.
There is no official confirmation yet from either Google or Motorola.
Google has also been linked with HTC for the Nexus 6.
Nexus6now has provided pictures of a HTC built Nexus 6 concept that features a metal shell, and speculates that the phone will have a 5.5-inch IPS QHD display, 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC, 3GM of RAM, 13 mega-pixel camera, 3,000 mAh battery and run Android Lemon Meringue Pie 5.0.
Although Nexus6now claims that rumors of that HTC is building the Nexus 6 is “quite strong,” they have not cited any evidence to prove their case.
HTC has also not mentioned that they are indeed building the Nexus 6.
