Nice find. I guess I will be waiting.
Possible though I've also read they're the ones making the "new" nexus 10 and that the 6 is still going to be made by LG. these rumors are far from confirmed. I mean we've been hearing about a "New Nexus 10" for over a year.
It would be a dream come true to have both aosp and sense roms to choose from, hope it happens

Rumors says, Google Nexus 6 will sport a bigger display, probably around 5.5 inches, along with a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 2 or 3 GB RAM and 16 GB / 32 GB of internal memory.

I have little doubt this rumor will change, otherwise for as long as I've been hoping to grab a Nexus I wouldn't buy an 801-equipped device in October 2014. In the meantime I'm keeping my ears open for the next Moto X and the OnePlus One which will probably not land on Sprint unfortunately. Project Ara is on my radar as well but nothing will arrive until 2015. This is why I didn't feel compelled to upgrade over my HTC One, although my brother's M8 looks sexy.
If HTC does make a Nexus 6 how do u guys think the camera will work? Think it will include the image chip that HTC has been using on its recent phones? With the inclusion of the image chip on a stockish Rom do u think it will improve the aosp camera by allowing the aosp community access to the chip or do u think it will be a Rom like the play edition of the HTC one where it is built using the sense framework?

I wonder if this is part of the reason why with Sense 6 HTC is going the route of making its widgets and sense features individual components that can be downloaded from the Google Play store. Between the Google Edition (which is practically a nexus type device anyways) and possibility of the next Nexus 6, this would allow people to still get the HTC Sense feel on those devices.
Personally the camera functionality and People Widgets/interactivity are big reasons why I like sense over AOSP. If I could pick and choose the sense features to have in my phone though that would be sweet.
So I guess I'm lucky I haven't bought the m8 yet. Thanks for the great news riff!
Well this is nice to know. Was gonna go get me a Nexus 5 since I can take advantage of the Spark network. Wasn't really feeling the same camera gimmick on the m8. Guess I gotta put up with single band LTE for 6 more months.

If true, this will no doubt be my christmas present to myself. I've been wanting an HTC nexus for a long time, and now that they finally have sprint and tmobile support in one phone (assuming that stays as is, but I can't see them going backward on it), I'm sold.
So happy I didn't get the m8 if this is true... Nice find Riff!
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
I love my ONE M7 and was considering an M8 until I read this, gonna hold off to see if the rumor comes true
rumored to have a 5.5 inch screen, what the hell people, I like a device with a nice screen but if we get any bigger I may as well carry my nexus 7 around in my pocket....(on that note...what are they gonna call the next nexus after the 6, we already have a nexus 7...lol)
It's awesome if the rumors are true but with I love sense too much. I hope they make the nexus 6 though. They need the money from it

HTC One "Google Edition" Rumored for this summer. Interested or keeping Nexus 4?
Not sure if true, but it would make sense (pun intended) so HTC can keep up with Samsung.

IF it comes out. I'll probably get it. i've been waiting for HTC to manufacture another Nexus phone. This is probably as close we can get it.
Hell Ya. Pure Android paired with a better camera, Mic, speakers, real LTE and build quality. I'll fork over the $649. Finally got to hold a HTC one this weekend..beautiful phone.

As much as I despise HTC for pairing with at&t to lock their phones harder than iOS. I will admit I do want the HTC one, but I don't want the "developer edition" or the carrier version. I probably would spend money for HTCs hardware with google's say in the matter. (fastboot oem unlock) for example.

I'd probably wait for the Nexus 5 and if it disappoints, then hopefully the HTC One and the SGS4 will be cheaper by then and I'll pick one of them up. Even better, we'll see how the dev scene plays out for these "Google Edition" phones and if the updates are truly from Google and such.
There is a thread for such discussion: [DISCUSSION] Google Nexus 4 vs any other phone
I am generally interested when the Manufacturers are willing to bring the Nexus experience to one of their phones.
Might not jump on this one, but it is a good start.
The Nexus 4 is still powerful enough, and I want to see how the not-so-smart button setup of the HTC One is used with a Nexus Experience version.
Cheers
i dont think i will ever get a non-nexus phone. i mean, okay, htc releases a pure vanilla phone, which will get updates. but android is developed primarily for nexus phones, thus android on nexus phones will be the way it was intended.
plus i dont even consider samsung phones because of their build quality, and im fairly unsure about htc's poor battery life.
only thing that could convince me to do a little detour of nexuses is the moto x phone. if it ever comes out with aosp and good battery life (only thing that bugs me in my n4).
Yes, god yes it's like the ultimate phone. But a lot depends on the timing. If it's launched after the new nexus or just a month before it not a good buy. But if it's launched in a month from now..

Haha sorry. I probably typed it up too fast.
there have been other devices with a pure android experience besides the sgs4, and there will be others. that doesnt make them a nexus. a nexus is a nexus, there will be more, the nexus 4 isnt the last one.
It might end up being one of the last.. Maybe one more. Now that there are two top notch phones with pure android I'd be hard pressed to buy another nexus. Probably going to grab the HTC this summer. I only really wanted nexus for the pure android experience, and now there's two better phones with the same thing.

No. There will always be dumb consumers who want the shiny shiny and there will always be developers who don't give a damn. Price is a huge factor, most folks are used to the contract subsidized prices.

Here is the question will the pure android version of the sg4 get google updates when the nexus does? will it continue to get updates beyond the first one?
so say it gets 4.3 will it get 5.0?

No one knows but Google. I think nexus will get updates first though
Sent from my Nexus 4
I won't really care much if it's the latest and "Nexus Experience" phones take it's place. (as long the updates and stock software behave like a Nexus)
All Nexuses had issues with specs when compared to their competition after all.
(N1/Desire (lack multitouch screen), NS/GS (lack SD Card), GN/GSII (camera downgrade), N4/OG (yet another camera downgrade, no LTE))
This make me wonder what Google is thinking.
The only thing I will miss is the sleek no-logo front.

Yeah I agree. the best part of nexus is the fact that there's so much development due to it being open source. If samsung/ HTC don't release the source it would be disappointing.

I'm still planning on buying the N4 and re-evaluating my options when the Motorola X phone comes out. The N4 is just cheap enough to do that. If I dropped $600 on a phone, I'd feel like I have to keep it for a few years.
I'm definitely keeping my Nexus 4. I just love this phone too much. I'm still not clear as to why anyone would buy the Google Edition of any of these phones. If you want that phone, buy it. If you want the Nexus experience, buy a Nexus. Some will argue they want stock Android on that phone's hardware, but I don't get why.
"Expandable storage!"
Is 64gb of expandable storage really worth $300?
"Better hardware!"
Has anyone really maxed the Nexus 4 out yet? We're getting diminishing returns on our hardware nowadays. Now, I can understand future-proofing, but you could get a Nexus 4 now, and a Nexus 5 when it comes out and still be around the price you'd pay for the GE of the One.
Those are the main points. There are always things like screen, speakers, hardkeys, and heck, even location of the audio jack that could sway the decision. I just don't think those minor differences are worth doubling the price of the phone. The Nexus 4 is by far the most bang for your buck, which is why I will be staying in the Nexus line until I don't have the option to.
To each his own, I guess. Plus, with the GE of the phones, ROM developers can develop their ROMs for these phones easier I suppose. That's assuming the OEMs will release the source code for their version of stock Android, since it isn't technically AOSP. And think about it: do you think these companies are willing to release their proprietary drivers and kernels to the general public for development reasons? Maybe, but I've grown cynical over the years.

I agree with you 100% on all of your points. I dont know why people complain about storage. You just have to be smarter about what you have on your phone, be realistic about it. You don't need 10 HD movies and 40,000 songs and 150apps at the same time. I've been smart with my 8GB N4 and i don't regret it at all.
Yes also, the nexus 4 is worth every penny. Great hardware and software at a fraction of the price. I'm staying Nexus from now on.

Indont get the logic in peoplebhere saying if you want the nexus experience buy a nexus. Tunnel vision anyone? Google would fail if they labeleed these devices as "nexus '' experience and available only from playstore only to not be aosp. Where isbthere documentation that itbis NOT aosp or it won't get frequent updates lkke nexus devices? There also isn't evidence for aure thst they will get prompt updates but think about it.

I would have loved to buy the one but since I live in Asia and not in the US, I could not. but I love the software of the camera of the one and if it isnt there, it would just have a better hardware than the nexus which I do not really find appealing since the Nexus 4 already is fast enough. expandable storage might be one to consider though.

Improvements over Nexus 4
-Built material (aluminum/plastic vs glass/plastic)
-Superior front facing speakers
-Better low light camera performance
-Optical image stabilization on camera
-1080p res screen
-IR blaster (assuming it ships with API for it...don't think it's in stock android)
-capacitive buttons (giving more usable screen)
-Larger battery (2300 mAh vs 2100 mAh)
Minuses vs Nexus 4
-no wireless charging
-possibly less development support
-higher price than N4
Am I missing anything?
Not at that price. I'd consider it @ $400... maybe $450. While I like HTC's build quality and materials, it's just not much of a value for me over the N4.
So many phones looking forward too.
1. HTC ONE MAXX/T6
2. NOTE 3
3. MOTO X PHONE.
4. A possibly revamped s4 with a snapdragon 800
5. HTC ONE AND S4 Google edition.

I will never buy another phone that isn't in the Nexus line as long as Nexus is being made. I came from the iPhone 4 to the Nexus 4 with zero experience in any Nexus device, or even Android in general, and I can tell you that pure Android is the best Android. I have a bunch of friends who hate Android solely because they bought a low-end phone that was running an outdated version of Android and had low specs.
"Yeah, but you should buy those Google Edition phones! They're so good and still show off pure Android!"
Yes, but at the same time, no. It's what AOSP 'should' look like, but it isn't truly AOSP. The OEMs still have to input their proprietary drivers/kernels to make it compatible with that hardware, so it's still customized. Android is developed for the latest Nexus device, and Nexus is made to show off the latest Android. I will sincerely buy every Nexus device that will ever be made because it is so open (and cheap). The freedom granted to OEMs, or end-users, is ridiculous. One line of code to unlock the bootloader? For real? Why WOULDN'T you buy Nexus? Come on.

Historically, not all nexii are as cheap as the N4. Just ask galaxy nexus, nexus s, nexus one and google one owners who bought devices from play. They paid an arm for their devices!!

I could flash Cyanogenmod and be good to go. I mean I had the EOL idea too but now I'm rethinking it. And to think what goodies may come in the fall. The Galaxy S4 LTE-A with a 2.3ghz processor....

If it is indeed HTC or Motorola (lenovo) I hope that they will push out a really nice high quality nexus device made of some premium materials. And for the low end they could beef up 2 phones like how apple did with the iPhone 5c and 5.
Let's face it corners had to be cut to make that $350 baseline model but most of us especially in the USA are willing to pay a premium for a high end nexus phone.
So what do you guys think? Let me know this is just my opinion and it isn't right but it seems right to me.

To be honest, I would like Samsung to make it again. They have really come a long way in build quality. yes they use plastic, but they use plastic because it so much easier to repair and Samsung parts go for cheap online. You can get a digitizer for under 10 bucks. You cant even get it a digitizer for the Nexus 5 with out it being attached to the screen. Mainstream is better. Samsung is mainstream.
I think LG has done a very good job and would love to see them make the next Nexus. Likewise Asus has done a great job with their 2013 an 2012 Nexus 7, why change what isn't broken?
I for one would hate to see a Samsung device again. Samsung is not the Samsung that made the old Nexus devices anymore. See Galaxy S4 for reference.
Apple.

For an affordable next generation Nexus they will more than likely go with a manufacturer like Huawei, Asus or probably even Blu.
Company's like Samsung, HTC, Sony etc will charge a very high premium and Google seems to be going in the direction of "affordable, high end".
Whoever makes the next generation Nexus I will definitely buy it! I hated LG for the random reboot issues I had with the G2x and I also hated Samsung for the GPS issues I had with the Vibrant. After all that I still owned the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and now the Nexus 5.

Already released it will be Lenova-Motorola for the 6, the next 7 will again be Asus, and the 10.2 will be HTC.

I hope HTC has nothing to do with nexus. They lost their mojo just look at the m8 http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/11/htc-m8-leak-flagship/?ncid=rss_truncated

U got that thanks for free. But anyway idk I honestly find ugly with the curved glass and metal frame not to mention it would most likely be in the 700$ rage or more. This is coming forming who had an white HTC glacier ( gorgeous phone ) and then HTC one s. I just feel the m8 doesn't have that Industrial look that I known and loved. But on that note I'm excited to see what lenovo will bring to the table,I mean have u seen the k series?

Personally i think the HTC One S and HTC Glacier look decent But the M8 looks great
We all have our own personality taste some plastic some metal but majority would go for metal M8
Based on your traits you prefer devices such as the iPhone 5c,Nexus 4,Nexus 5,Nexus 7,Oppo Find 5,Galaxy S4
Based on my traits i prefer that brushed aluminium such as iPhone 5,HTC One
Samsung would be my first choice. No HTC plz..

If you look at the leaked photos, and the specs, the m8 must be tall as hell. 5 inch screen, huge HTC bar under the nav bar that looks thicker then navbar itself, and the dual speakers. That's my only gripe thus far, plus aluminum is slippery. Add that with massively tall phone, one handed use may become quite difficult. We shall see.
As for OP topic, lg has done a good job and wouldn't mind seeing another. Moto would be cool though. In reality it really doesn't matter much to me, most all nexus phones have looked and run pretty damn good in there time regardless of the OEM.

Nothings confirmed till its announced. And why do people keep thinking its going to be the "Nexus 6". Do you all really want a 6 inch phone?

Google it. Sorry I cant post outside link yet, not over 10 post =(
This make sense, thats why Google sold it to them. For android to spread into China for the mass market. A way to compete with Apple while they just signed a contract with one of the biggest carrier there.

ibtimes is not an accurate source as it claims to be. Plus their website is a peice of sh*T it plays video ads with audio without you interacting with the ad.
Until some legit source cites this such as Android Authority or The Verge we don't know yet for all we know it may not be called the nexus 6
I thought the numeric designation of the Nexus line refers to the screen size.

Not necessary. Look at the Nexus 7 1st Gen then they released another Nexus 7 2nd gen or (2013)
a hardware revision doesn't mean a number bump up. they decided to name it nexus 7 2nd gen so people wont get confused with a Nexus 8 that's 8 Inches
Nexus 5 would prob be called Nexus 5 2nd gen or (2014) or so, unless they license the name Nexus 6
