Leaked pics hint at phablet-class Motorola Nexus 6

 

Techies waiting for an alternative to Apple's iPhone 6 Plus may want to start saving for this big Nexus device.

 

Specs leaked to Android Police indicate the Nexus 6 by Motorola would be a phablet, with a 5.9-inch QHD display, a 3,200mAh+ battery and dual front-facing speakers.

 

"As many expected, it's essentially a larger variation of the Moto X, matching the images we saw last week. The Nexus 6 does, however, have black front-facing stereo speakers ... and the power button and volume rocker (as originally reported by 9to5Google) are a bit farther down on the side of the device, to account for the enormous screen," it said.

 

The home screen also features revamped icons for the dialer, Play Store, Gmail, and Play apps.

 

Android Police also noted a new folder on the home screen specifically for Drive's editing apps.

 

Meanwhile, status icons for battery, Wifi, and cell signal are solid and could have been refreshed for the new release.

 

On the other hand, the device's edge will likely have the same aluminum frame as the new Moto X.

 

A 13-megapixel camera with the new dual-flash ring configuration will be at the back. The front-facing camera, by the way, will be 2 megapixels.

 

Android Police also said the Nexus 6 will be compatible with Motorola's turbo charger for fast charging. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
