Today has been an explosion of information regarding Google’s rumoured Nexus device for this year, what we have previously been calling the Nexus 6. That name was picked for logical reasons – it is after all the 6th Nexus phone and is expected to be 5.9-inches – however, all the news about the device appears to agree that its name is actually the Nexus X. Phone Arena brings up the point that Philip K. Dick’s book, Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?, actually refers to androids called Nexus-6, so a name-change would probably avoid a copyright fight. The Nexus X, however, is still not the device’s official name; this name is only used internally at Motorola where the device’s model number is XT-1100.
Today’s rumours go on to suggest that the Nexus X will be releasing around Halloween, right around where we expected considering past Nexus phone launches. And like previous launches, there won’t be an announcement to launch the device, and presumably will go on sale immediately after going live; no details on price haven’t been supplied yet.
We’re expecting the Nexus X to have a 5.9-inch Quad HD display, Snapdragon 805 processor with 13MP camera and optical image stabilization.
