A Nexus 6 photo has surfaced. 

Hong Kong based Motorola news site Hellomotohk recently put up a photo of the back covers of the Moto S alongside the second-gen Moto X and Moto G on its Facebook page. 

 

Because the Nexus 6 is rumored to be made by Motorola and is given the working name “Shamu,” it has been dubbed the “Moto S.”

Rounding up the rumors and speculations about the Nexus 6 from past months, the Nexus 6 has the model number XT1100, with “XT” being the prefix of Motorola phones, and has either a 5.3-inch or 6.3-inch 2K display resolution, a 2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with an Adreno 420 GPU, and has a 13 mega-pixel rear camera and a 2.1 mega-pixel front camera.

The Nexus 6 should run a bloatware-free version of Android L, something that Motorola is currently offering with its Moto X (second gen) Pure Edition. 

Verizon and Sprint should be carrying the phone in the United States, and Best Buy could be retailing the Nexus 6 for $499.99.

The Nexus 6 is allegedly going to be unveiled at a secret Google launch event on or around the Halloween period in 2014.

By extrapolation, the Nexus 6 could be released on October 31 or sometime in November 2014.
