Motorola's
much-leaked Shamu handset, rumoured to be the next Nexus smartphone,
will now reportedly be called the Nexus X (and not Nexus 6 as previously
rumoured), if a leaked screenshot of a listing at US retailer Best Buy
is to be believed. In another report, the smartphone's secret launch is
already being planned around Halloween, October 31.
The alleged
Motorola Nexus X XT1100 Best Buy listing was spotted
by Tktechnewsblog. The listing notes the smartphone's two-year
contracted price will be $499.99 (approximately Rs. 30,000) on Sprint
wireless carrier. According to the listing, the smartphone will feature a
5.9-inch Quad-HD (1440x2560 pixels) display, and a 2.7GHz quad-core
processor, along with Android LMP operating system.
As we
mentioned earlier, the next Nexus smartphone, the anticipated Motorola
Shamu, was expected to be called the Nexus 6. However, referring to an
earlier dispute with the family of author Philip K Dick, the Nexus 6 is a
name Google may not be able to use. The WSJ had reported in 2010 ahead
of the Nexus One's launch that Dick's family
had claimed the use of the word Nexus was a clear infringement of the
novel 'Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?', where the Androids were
called Nexus-6.
For the release date, a PhoneArena claims that it
has been told that Google is planning a secret launch around Halloween,
just like the launch of the Nexus 5. The
report
also says that Google might launch the alleged Nexus X without an
announcement.
Earlier the anticipated smartphone was allegedly
listed
in benchmarks specifications as 'Google Shamu', with a 5.2-inch Quad-HD
(1440x2560 pixels) display, a quad-core 2.7GHz (precisely 2649MHz)
Snapdragon 805 processor (APQ8084), Adreno 420 GPU, and 3GB of RAM. The
primary rear camera was suggested to be a 13-megapixel camera, while
there will be a 2.1-megapixel front camera also onboard. The device was
also listed to run Android L.
