Nexus 6 has a ‘hidden’ feature not seen on its specs list

October 18, 2014October 18, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Google’s homepage for the new Motorola Nexus 6 details its specs and lists down its notable features, but there might be something that they have missed – mentioning that the latest Nexus phone is water-resistant as well.

The official landing page for the Nexus 6 missed this rather important feature of the device. Thankfully, Motorola’s page included this information. According to their site, the Nexus 6 can withstand splashes of water just like the Moto X. Do take note that it’s just safe from splashes and cannot go for a full submersion like the Xperia Z3 (see our hands-on here). If you would check the website under the Water Resistant category, Motorola listed it down as “Yes” with no IP certification.

Google’s official site might not have found this info to be essential to its users thus eliminating the need to list it down. Although not fully waterproof, it’s still good to know that minor contact with water is repelled by the Nexus 6.

Summary of advantages:

Google Nexus 6:

In terms of specs alone, the Nexus 6 offers more to the table with larger and better display, RAM, camera, battery capacity, etc. The iPhone 6, on the other hand, basically has more features that could help in daily usage. As for both their prices we see that the Nexus 6 comes at a more affordable price rather than its Apple counterpart.

If you were to choose, what device will be more of use to you? Will you go with Google’s bloatware-free flagship or is the iPhone 6 Plus still the Apple of your eye? (pun intended)

Nexus 6 reported to be Motorola-made with heavy specs

September 25, 2014September 25, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

After a long time of speculations and rumors, 9to5Google reports that they have sources that are directly familiar with Google‘s awaited Nexus 6. It allegedly carries a massive 5.92-inch display with Quad HD resolution and a powerful Snapdragon 805 processor.

Google Nexus 6 (Nexus X) specs from 9to5Google:
5.92-inch Quad HD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution, 498ppi
2.6GHz Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor
3GB RAM
32GB internal storage
13MP rear camera
4K UHD video capture
2MP front camera
3200mAh battery
Android L

As you may have noticed, the upcoming Nexus 6’s design took heavy inspiration from the current Moto X – only way bigger. This might be Google’s answer to the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus (which is currently plagued with reports of bending issues). Going back to Nexus 6, it’s slated to be available sometime in November that points to a possible October announcement.

Google Nexus 6 might not be coming at all

May 17, 2014May 17, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

“There is no Nexus 6. Farewell, Nexus” This is according to the famous tipster @evleaks who just tweeted this a few hours ago. Following this is another entry saying, “Don’t worry, there’s a silver lining to this cloud…” Could it really be the end of the well-loved Nexus line for the introduction of Android Silver?

We’ve previously reported on Android Silver — a rumored support system by Google wherein people can walk in to and have their specially-picked Android smartphones set up and checked when there are problems. In addition, they will also be selling said handsets that will come along with these customer service privileges.

There also have been rumors going around that Android Silver might be replacing the Nexus line to make way for Google Play Edition devices. So @evleaks’ two-fold Twitter post has a great chance of referring to the said reports. Do keep in mind, though, that these are all rumors and still not final. But if you’ve been following @evleaks for a while now you’ll know that most of his tips are spot on.

It would be a shame if Google Nexus 6 would not see the light of day after getting us all excited with its concept image and an alleged LG build. Still, we’ll be waiting for an official announcement and making sure to update you guys so keep on watching this space.
