Google?s Nexus 6 snapped again, this time next to iPhone 6 Plus
The fast-approaching
Nexus 6 has just had another early debut, with the latest leak showing off an actual handset.
Until now we?ve mostly seen renders of the device, but the new image has a
Nexus 6 sitting alongside Apple?s
iPhone 6 Plus.
The key thing to take from this is screen size ? Apple?s blower is huge at
5.5-inch, but the giant
Nexus 6 trumps Apple?s cellular at
5.9-inch.
Despite the 0.4-inch difference in display size, the
Nexus 6 doesn?t actually look that much bigger than the
iPhone 6 Plus, largely due to its comparatively svelte bezels.
It also looks like a sized-up 2nd-gen
Moto X ? no surprise, as Motorola is reckoned to be the firm behind the latest Nexus-stamped Google handset.
There?s not much else we can glean from this picture as the purported Nexus smartphone isn?t even turned on.
When we do finally see some working
Nexus 6 handsets, we?re expecting it to be the flagship carrier of Google?s next mobile
OS ? Android L.
Most technophiles reckon the new software will be called
Android Lollipop, and will tout Google?s flatter, simpler ?material design? aesthetic introduced at Google I/O.
Yesterday we saw a leaked render of the Nexus 6 that showed off the new OS and the handset?s mega-screen, courtesy of Evleaks.
We also heard that Google would launch the handset
at some point today, alongside HTC?s Nexus 9 tablet, although the search engine giant?s not let anything slip just yet.
In terms of specs, there?s whispers of a
2.65GHz Snapdragon 805 processor, a 2560 x 1440 display, and a meaty 3200mAh li-ion battery.
