Nexus 6 imagining looks ahead to Android 5.0

The Google Nexus 6 smartphone is a device that’s already anticipated despite the fact that the release of the Nexus 5 was only weeks ago. Today we have a Nexus 6 imagining to show readers, although we’ll point out from the off that this is a concept design.

Concept renders are a good way of getting a glimpse of what future devices might be like and this Nexus 6 concept was devised based on rumors about the Nexus 6 so far. It was designed by Rishi Ramesh for Nexus6us and Concept Phones provided some of the details.
Specs include a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 805 processor, a 5.2-inch display with resolution of 2560 x 1440, and 3GB of RAM. There’s also a 13-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization along with a front-facing camera and it runs Android 5.0.
Photo Sphere would get a complete overhaul and design-wise you’re looking at an aluminum build with Gorilla Glass. Pricing would likely be around $300 to $350. This isn’t the first concept for the Nexus 6 we’ve seen and undoubtedly it won’t be the last.
If you want to check out a couple of previous concepts we’ve shown then head here or here. It will be interesting to see how many styles and rumored Nexus 6 spec sheets we see between now and its likely release next fall.

We’d like to know what readers think about this latest concept idea so do send us your comments. Also we’d like to know what you’d like to see for the real Nexus 6 next year?

Nexus 6 Lenovo finished look is enticing

he Google Nexus 6 is a phone that plenty of people are already talking about, especially with recent news about the possibility of it being made by Lenovo. A few days ago talented concept designer gave us his initial ideas for a Lenovo Nexus phone and now his Nexus 6 finished look gives us a tempting glimpse.

Last week we informed readers that Google had sold Motorola Mobility to Lenovo and of anunconfirmed leak suggesting that Lenovo could be making one of the last Nexus devices, hence the idea behind this latest concept from Smit. We can get some great insight into the possibilities for new smartphones from concept renders and this Nexus 6 is no exception.

When we gave you the first images of Smit’s Lenovo 6 as a work in progress we noted the slight curve on the rear of the handset and an almost edge to edge display of around 5-inches in size. Now the designer has kindly given us a gallery of images of his Lenovo Nexus 6 finished concept (some of which you can see here) along with the video that you can view below this story.

One of the ingenious ideas of this impressive Nexus 6 creation is that the figure 6 that you can see on the reverse of the handset actually acts as a low light message indicator. Different colors would be available and Smit has also come up with his idea of specs for the Google Nexus 6 Lenovo.

His Nexus 6 specs include a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor, 4.99-inch display with Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, and 32GB of internal storage. It also has a 13-megapixel rear camera with dual Flash, 3-megapixel front-facing camera, and dual speakers.

This very sleek looking handset has a soft touch rounded back and is just 7.4mm thick. We feel this is another great concept from Smit and look forward to seeing what he comes up with next, but we wonder what you think.

Would you welcome a Google Nexus 6 made by Lenovo? If so, would you be happy if it looked like this latest Jermaine Smit concept? Let us know with your comments.
