Motorola and Google are still keeping mum on the upcoming Nexus phone.
Both tech companies are reportedly working together to build the Nexus 6, the 2014 replacement for the Nexus 5 flagship Google Nexus smartphone.
Rumors have it that the Nexus 6, which is being developed under the code name “Shamu,” could be called the Nexus X or Moto S due to copyright reasons.
The Nexus X will supposedly by carried by Sprint and Verizon in the United States, and could retail at Best Buy starting at $499.99.
The Nexus X (model number XT1100) 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.
Unlike notable flagship phones like the Apple’s iPhone 6 and Samsung’s S5 and Note 4, the Nexus X won’t come with a fingerprint scanner.
Being a Google phone, the Nexus X will most likely run on the Android Lemon Meringue Pie 5.0 OS, the successor to the Android 4.4 KitKat.
As for the launch date, Google could be holding a secret Halloween 2014 unveiling. This means that the Nexus X could be available for sale as soon as October or November.
Neither Google nor Motorola has come out to deny or confirm the rumors.
