Nexus 6 Imminent Release as Nexus 5 is Near its End

Google's Nexus 6 has been in the news for quite some time now with numerous leaks trying to offer as much information about the device as possible. Several reports claim the device will follow the Moto X design whereas some doubt the actual release. To put matters at ease, it appears Nexus 5 has reached an 'end of life' status supporting a fresh cycle to make up the supply. Will the Nexus 6 be finally released? What can people expect?

A company's current stock is usually a good indicator if there is an upcoming hardware cycle or not. This applies to Apple and other tech giants - can be the same case for Google. According to iTech Post, Sprint's Google Nexus 5 smartphone has already received an end of life or EOL status. The same goes for the HTC One and non-customized Moto X. The lead came from Android Police citing an inside source.

Android Police claims that Sprint will no longer be promoting the device. This also means that the carrier will not be releasing additional updates to the device. Google will still provide coverage for the Nexus 5. It is important to note that the Nexus 5 is exclusive to Sprint. It is the only CDMA carrier to offer the device.

Forbes reported that the Nexus 6 appears to be preparing its guns to challenge the iPhone 6. According to the report, Nexus 6 appears to be a bigger device than what people are expecting. The device will be around 5.9-inches telling users that they can forget about one-hand operation. The device will push the phablet definition particularly when it comes to size.

Other reported features of the device include 2560 x 1440 (2K) native resolution matching the LG G3 and Note 4 as well as Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset joining Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 4.
