Google Nexus 6 Stocks Back on Track as Release Continues

Google’s Nexus release this year was welcomed with massive demand, the sort that not even the biggest companies can keep up with. The Nexus 6 ran out of stock in mere minutes at some retailers, but Google has already started replenishing stocks, as well as releasing the device in more places.

Motorola.com has started selling the Nexus 6 starting at $649.99, and the stocks are holding up really well so far. Motorola also has a very nice presentation set up on the page which gives you a good overview of just how good the phone is. It’s surprising to see the stocks hold up, because the Google Play Store page previously ran out of stock in 2-3 minutes, and pre-orders were also very quick to be depleted. It was reported that, in some cases, the device ran out of stock almost instantly, which was a huge let-down for many people.

Nexus 6 release facing the same problems as the Nexus 5

The Nexus 6 seems to be following the Nexus 5’s example so far, and if we’ll take some time to remember, the Nexus 5 release also had the same sort of problems. Among those problems we can count a very slow release process, as well as a complete lack of stocks. Google mentioned that they are going to replenish the stock on the Google Play Store every Wednesday, and this might help to prevent them selling out again.

An alternative way to purchase the device is from Motorola, and you won’t even have to pre-order it. You can get it in two colors: Midnight Blue and White, with 32/64GB of native storage.  There’s also a special offer coming from Motorola: you can get the Nexus 6 for $54.17 a month for 12 months, and there are other plans for 6 and 18 months. If you are planning on getting a Nexus device, Motorola.com is a good place for you to try.

Nexus 6: Price, Pre-Order Date, Rumored Release Date & Specs Revealed

This has been a big week for Google and we have just about all the information on the latest Nexus smartphone for you. Today, we’re going to talk about the official price, the official specs and when we can expect to pre-order and purchase the Google Nexus 6.

Nexus 6 Price

The night before Google announced the Nexus 6, we saw an AT&T product page showing the name, ‘Google Nexus 6. This made a lot of us happy to know that AT&T would be selling the smartphone directly. However, the big reveal here seemed to be about the price. AT&T was using the LG Vista image and price as a placeholder, so when readers saw the $49 on-contract price, it made a lot of them happy. However, some of us were skeptical about the price. Turns out we were right to be because the official price has now been released and it is very unlikely the on-contract price will be $49.

Google and Motorola have announced the Google Nexus 6 will cost $649 without a two-year contract. The 64GB model looks to be priced at $699. It seems the days of moderately-priced Nexus devices could be a thing of the past. At a $649 price tag, I’m thinking the two-year contract price will be more like $199. We haven’t seen any details to confirm or deny this, though – we just know the off-contract price so far. When we learn more details about the price, we will be sure to let you know.

Nexus 6 Specs

Google’s Nexus 6 will come with a 5.96-inch AMOLED display capable of a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. Inside, we can see it will house the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC. This chip has a 2.7GHz quad-core processor paired with the Adreno 420 GPU. The Nexus 6 has 3GB of RAM and will be available in 32GB and 64GB of internal storage. The back of the device looks to have the same 13MP camera as the 2014 Moto X and will also have a 2MP front-facing camera. It ships with Android 5.0 Lollipop and will be powered by an embedded 3,220mAh capacity battery.

The device has a little more going for it than just these raw specs. The Nexus 6 is compatible and will ship with Motorola’s Turbo Charger. Motorola and Google claims it will give you 6 hours of use with only a 15-minute charge. The Nexus 6 is IPX7 water-resistant, so you shouldn’t have any issues if you get the device wet or completely submerge it for a short amount of time. We get two color options here: Midnight Blue and Cloud White. It also comes with some of the Motorola features we see in the Moto X. Do you think we’ll see a red Nexus 6 announced in a month or two like we did with the Nexus 5?

Nexus 6 Release

This is where things start to get a little hazy. If we look at the Nexus 6 page on the Google website, it only lists a pre-order date. All it tells us is that pre-orders will begin toward the end of October. Digging around, it seems The Verge is reporting October 29th for the pre-order date. They continue by telling us it will be released in November. After doing some more digging, it appears T-Mobile News is reporting that T-Mobile will start selling the Nexus 6 on November 12th. We should take both dates with a grain of salt, though. Since nothing has been officially confirmed by Google, these dates could change at any moment.

Motorola Nexus 6/Nexus X Unofficially Confirmed

As we edge closer to the release of the upcoming Nexus 6 (aka Nexus X), we’re starting to see more rumors about the device. Today, we’ll talk about some rumors from a reputable source that believes they can confirm what Google and Motorola are working on at this time.

Nexus 6 alleged specs

Yesterday, we talked about the Nexus 6 as a whole, but today we’re going to single out some of the latest bits of information that are going around. These latest rumors come to us from Android Police and they rank their confidence level at a 9 out of 10. Their sources have told them we will see the same aluminum frame around the Nexus 6 that we saw around the 2014 Moto X. Since it will be modeled after that device, they have also been told it will have a 13MP rear-facing camera and a 2MP front-facing camera. We should see the same size camera sensor on the Nexus 6 as we see on the 2014 Moto X and this means the same LED dual-flash ring around the sensor too.

Their source told them the 5.9-inch display will have a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD) and this will put the pixels per inch right at 496. Inside the device, they’ve been told the battery capacity will be at least 3,200mAh and that it’s compatible with Motorola’s Turbo Charger for faster charging. We recently talked about the possibility of Android L being released as version 5.1, but Android Police believes it will be released as 5.0. We’ll have to wait and see what Google decides to go with when we see the device released (possibly less than two weeks away).

They didn’t deny the idea that Google will release a smaller variant of the Nexus 6, but they doubt this will happen. With all the leaks circulating right now, they feel it just seems implausible that Google has been able to keep one device a secret while the other one gets leaked multiple times. Either way, we’ll have to wait and see what Google has in store for us.
