We’ve had rare glimpses of what is supposed to be the Huawei Nexus 6, however we’ve always assumed that it would be close to a 6-inch display, hence the Nexus “6” – rumours have always suggested it would be 5.7-inches. However, the latest report which details a Zauba shipping listing which shows a “Huawei Angler” entering India with a 5.5-inch display – for those who don’t remember, “Angler” is the internal codename for the Huawei Nexus device at Google.
This is a very unusual revelation, not that a Nexus 6 can’t be 5.5-inches, but because that makes the LG Nexus 5 and Huawei Nexus 6 quite similar in size – the LG Nexus 5 is expected to be 5.2-inches and quite large at that screen size. The other explanation for this could be that the Huawei Nexus 6 is supposed to be marketed as a premium device, whereas the LG Nexus 5 is supposed to be a lower-cost device with respectable hardware. That seems unlikely, but we’re just trying to understand what’s going on.
The Zauba listing also mentions that the device will have 3GB RAM, 32GB storage and has an indicative cost of $645 USD. It’s all very curious, but hopefully we’ll know more on September 29th when Google is expected to have a press conference in San Francisco.
