Popular Android developer Paul O’Brien recently confirmed from one of his sources that the Nexus 6 (also rumored to be called the Nexus X) will be available for under £450 in his region. A quick conversion and that has it coming in around $750 US dollars, which is obviously wrong.

It’s worth noting the Nexus 5 is £299 from the Google Play Store in the UK, and many UK retailers were asking £399 for it when it was first released, as they have quite the markup and pricing is different by region. This suggests that the phone could be upwards of £100 or more than last years model, which makes sense given the bigger HD display, front facing speakers, improved camera and bigger battery. This means we could be looking at a $449 and $499 Nexus 6 in the US, compared to the $349 and $399 starting price of the current Nexus 5.

So what will that get you? Here’s the specs based on rumors and reports received thus far.

Nexus 6 (Rumored)

5.92-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD Display
2.7 GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GB of RAM
32GB internal storage
Android 5.0 “L Release” (64-bit support)
13 Megapixel camera with OIS, 2.1 front camera
Ring Flash similar to Moto X
Front Facing Speaker (bottom, look close)
Aluminum frame around device like the new Moto X 2014
3,200 mAh battery

$399 is my guess.

 

[Technarchy]

$399 is my guess.

$425 I say.

A better game would be "will the camera and battery suck again"

 

[Lava Lamp Freak]

One thing to keep in mind is that the Nexus 5 cost more buying it from carriers last year than buying it from Google. I expect the same to be the case this year.

My guess is $499 from Google and much more from Verizon.

maybe they will get rid of the 16GB base model and start with 32GB

16GB Nexus 5 = $349
32GB Nexus 5 = $399

vs
32GB Nexus 6 = $449
64GB Nexus 6 = $499


they can justify the $100 more (base model) because of these reasons.

- bigger storage (32GB vs 16GB)
- bigger screen
- higher resolution
- better camera
- bigger battery


or it is just $50 more (32GB vs 32GB)

for

- bigger screen
- higher resolution
- better camera
- bigger battery

$399 and the base model will be 32gb

"Indian import/export Zauba recently listed two “Shamu phones (prototype)” with model number Motorola XT1112 arrived India on August 20. The devices were shipped from the U.S. and have a declared value of 34,982 Indian rupees ($578) each. Note that the price listing is a declared value, which may not accurately reflect the actual market price."

But everyone should still manage their expectations for a "cheap" Nexus

 

[F123D]

My guess is $399 for the cheapest model. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see 449 or 499.

There was a leaked price at Best Buy for $500, I think. I wouldn't mind paying $450 for a Nexus 6, but I really hope it's not a whale sized of a phone.

 

[Gotoma]

Paul O'brien said it's gonna be 'under £450' so I expect the US price to be in the $500-$600 range.

[sviato]

So like $500 in Canada

I'm going with $449 for the base model and $499 for the larger capacity size. Just hope they don't start off with 16 gigs

 

[nviz22]

Never understood the idea about a 64 Bit support on Android L being a highlight for the Nexus 6 itself. If it had a 810 processor, that's a different story.

With that in mind, for the UK i'm gonna go with

£399 = 32GB base model
£449 = 64GB

Hopefully 32GB is the base model. I think they'll continue selling the 5 alongside the 6.

 

[nfl46]

$449 for base model Nexus 6.

I waited a long time for Verizon to support Nexus phones.

 

[aneftp]

I want it to be $399 base price.

Probably looking at $499 16GB base price, $549 32GB at the cheapest.

Going to be a tough sell in the USA at those prices.

Isn't there only going to be a 32gb at $650 and then a 64gb??

Nah, it will be available with subsidies like the iPhone is, so the on contract price will be far cheaper.

Take this for what it's worth, but this blog says it starts at $649:

Available in November off-contract or with a service plan from carriers. --from Motorola directly. So these prices are unlocked no contract prices. I suspect the device will sell out as it is still cheaper than the 6+ or Note 4 off contract.
