'Shamu' may be Nexus 6, be produced by Motorola

Since the Nexus 5 was announced back in November, now is the time of the year when we can at least expect rumors to begin concerning the next iteration, and the leak stream to start flooding. Company's usually run out of patience towards the end of the one year-cycle, so the next device (Nexus 6?) will probably be out sooner or later, probably in the next couple of months.

While earlier this year we've heard rumors of the Nexus line being cancelled completely, to be replaced by Android Silver. However, lacking concrete details about Silver, it's existence slowly dwindled out, and now we're pretty confident it will not really happen. Perhaps it was caused by confusion with the Android One (link 1, link 2).

So, according to a new leak courtesy of Android Police, Google might be dropping LG as its OEM, and hire Motorola instead, to make what would possible be a 5.9' Nexus 6, code-named 'Shamu'.

While the code-name is sensible enough, since Google is known to use aquatic names for its Nexus devices, the screen is pretty unusual. 5.9' is a very niche market, and not only is it not targeted at the main-stream market, it is also not the type of sizes Motorola tends to use. 

Actually, it sounds pretty similar to the size used on the LG G Pro 2. Perhaps an LG comeback? Keep in mind this might only be a prototype device, and things might very well change until the official release, and we'll just have to wait and see. Stay tuned for more details to come up about this device.
