Google Nexus 6 release date will most likely take place in October or November.
There are three main reasons why the Google Nexus 6 will arrive in October or November this year. First, the fourth quarter has been the official release date window of the Google Nexus 6. This will ensure that the device will make an appearance just right before the gift-giving season.
In addition, releasing the handset in October will maximize the profit of the company gained from the device. Usually, companies wait for a full year to release the successor of a device.
Another probable reason for the October-November release date of Google Nexus 6 is the strategy of Google to shy away from competition. September is crowded by launches from other mobile manufacturers, especially from tech giants Apple and Samsung. Releasing the device a month later will ensure that its gets the publicity it wanted and not be overshadowed by other devices.
Lastly, the statement of Google's executive Sundar Pichai during the Mobile World Congress in February stated that the smartphone will not be released in the first half of the year. This strongly suggested that the Google Nexus 6 will appear in the second half of the year.
Meanwhile, Google Nexus 6 is predicted to pack high end specs such as a more powerful processor and battery as well as a better screen display and camera. Google Nexus 6 was rumored to pack a 64-bit version of its Snapdragon 800-series chipset clocked at 3 GHz; 5.2-inch full-HD, curved LCD display protected with Corning Gorilla Glass; 3 GB RAM; 13 MP camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera; Bluetooth; NFC; Micro-USB; Wi-Fi; and 4G. However, Google has not confirmed any of the aforementioned rumors.
Moreover, Nexus devices were not only famous for their specs and features but also to their incredibly low price. Currently, the Nexus 5 16GB costs $349, while the 32GB model costs $399. It is expected that the company will follow the same pricing strategy.
