Google Nexus 6 Motorola release date: Motorola is working on a device with Google that has a 5.9 inch smartphone with fingerprint sensor according to recent reports. IBT reported via Yahoo News that this rumored smartphone has 440x2560 resolution (534ppi), Octa-core MediaTek processor, 64-bit technology and a 13 megapixel rear facing camera. The same report indicates that it is set to be launched this fall.

While the above specifications on the device are mere rumors at the moment, Android Police reported that Motorola is working on a project with Google and is code named Shamu. Details about this gadget are not yet clear, but it is reported that this gadget is supposed to be directed to major US carriers and unspecified carriers in other parts of the world which would probably include those markets with current access to Nexus devices.

According to Latin Post, Google is expected to release Android L, the latest version of Android, sometime in the fall, most likely through a new Nexus device. Head of Android engineering and the Nexus program at Google Dan Burke told ReadWrite in June that Nexus is still flourishing at Google.

"When we are working, there are sort of two outputs. We're building a Nexus device and we're building the open source code. There is no way you can build the open source code without the phone or tablet or whatever you are building," Burke said.

"You have to live and breathe the code you are developing. You can't build a platform in the abstract, you have to build a device (or devices). So, I don't think can or will ever go away. And then, I think Nexus is also interesting in that it is a way of us explaining how we think Android should run. It is a statement, almost a statement of purity in some respects. I don't see why we would ever turn away from that, it wouldn't make sense."

Reportedly, if the project is the alleged Google Nexus 6, its release date might take place between October or November 2014 around the same time that Nexus 5 started rolling in 2013.
