Motorola Nexus 6 Photo Comparison vs. LG G3 Leaks

Now that's one big smartphone.

A photo (above) of the purported Nexus 6 has surfaced again - this time showing the rumored Motorola smartphone next to the LG G3.

The image was posted by a user in the comments section of an Android Police report, so it should be taken with a grain of salt, but if it's legitimate, it appears the new Nexus is going to dwarf the competition with a Moto X-like look. Phone Dog notes that the device features the same location for its volume and lock buttons as another recent alleged Nexus 6 leak.

The leak follows Android Authority's recent report that the Nexus 6 will arrive in a few weeks alongside a new Nexus tablet designed by HTC.

The event will also reportedly debut "a new software initiative" believed to be Android L.

The publication's sources familiar with Google's plans tip two dates: Oct. 15 and Oct. 16 for the unveilings, but that the Android L update will not be released until Nov. 1.

Updated details on the alleged Nexus 6, which may release with the name Nexus X, also recently surfaced on GFXBench.

The specs for the upcoming smartphone fall in-line with those recently leaked via an AnTuTu benchmark, including a 5.2-inch display (2560 x 1440), 2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 12MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing shooter, a barometer, NFC, and Android L.

While this benchmark tips the device for a 5.2-inch display, it has been rumored that Google could release a 5.2-inch and a 5.9-inch version.

Phone Arena previously tipped the smartphone for a Halloween release date with a price tag of up to $499.99 in the US and €419.99 in Europe.

As the website notes, Google senior vice president Sundar Pichai stated at MWC that the smartphone's release date time frame was limited to the second half of 2014.
