Motorola Nexus 6's Design, Specs Leak Again

The Motorola Nexus 6 has leaked from various sources recently, but the latest revelation might be the most extensive.

Android Police has offered up a mockup for the device along with all of its key specs, once again showing off a smartphone that looks a lot like a larger version of the Moto X.

"Based on new information, I've put together this image that depicts - as faithfully as possible - what the Nexus 6 will look like," the mockup's author, Liam Spradin, wrote.

As you can see via AP, the phablet packs dual front speakers, along with redesigned app icons. The website adds that the device's edges "will have the same aluminium frame as the new Moto X."

Similarly to previous leaks, the leak tips the Nexus 6 for a 5.9-inch QHD 496ppi display, a 13MP rear-facing camera with OIS, a 2MP front-facing camera and a 3200mAh+ battery.

A photo has also surfaced with the purported Nexus 6 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.
