Motorola hints at upcoming phone with "Moto Maxx" trademark

Motorola Droid Maxx

By this point we're almost confident Motorola will be the next Nexus manufacturer, with a monstrous 5.9' Nexus 6 'Shamu' coming up, and now it seems Motorola might be preparing another giant device.

Motorola's latest trademark, basically trademarking the name "Moto Maxx", has us wondering what it's about; On one hand, the trademark could smply pointing at an upcoming Motorola Droid Maxx, and will only drop the 'Droid' line.

But, another thing this could be pointing at, is perhaps Motorola will follow in LG's footsteps. As you might recall, preceding the Nexus 5's release was a pretty similar device called the G2, which was bared much resemblance to the later-announced Nexus 5. So, perhaps Motorola will do the same thing, release a Moto Maxx which would be close to the Shamu's dimensions, and afterwards release a similar Nexus 6.

Here's the trademark:

Notwithstanding, it is far more likely this is just a continuation of the Verizon-exclusive Droid Maxx line, only the 'Droid' branding will be dropped in the favor of a more minimalist name. What do you think? Keep in mind trademarks don't always make it to an actual device, and perhaps we will never see a Moto Maxx.
