welcome back to android weekly my name is Jace and I know many of you last week were suspicious that the Nexus 6 otherwise known as Shamu would be as big as the reported 5.9 inch while the wall street journal also believes it proving that our appetite for phablets is insatiable I mean how big can a phone get hey bloody how's it going yeah just calling you my new Nexus 27 yes that's right The Wall Street Journal has confirmed that there is a nexus 6 or Shamu and it is a 5.9 inch display and they also believe that it will be released sometime this month although we have no confirmation of a specific date but we do believe that it won't be a massive event it will be likely a blog post because we have not received a press invite just yet and we also caught a glimpse of what we think might be the nexus 9 it looks like this the source of this image is up leaks a Twitter user who has shared good information about HTC in the past most recently the desire i specs and images the image here seems to show a device made of plastic not metal as previously reported and according to up links the material is similar to the mat soft plastic on the lg-made Nexus 5 and the asus nexus 7 2013 the vertical Nexus logo is very similar to the past Nexus devices though the camera looks different from the Nexus 7's distinctive design be aware this image could be fake so time will tell now you should know that some people believe that Google is releasing these larger Nexus devices because they want to show off certain features of Android L Google's new version of the Android system and it should be released sometime this week look forward to that alright so let's talk HTC and I'm sure many of you will agree that the HTC One series is a very popular phone the HTC m8 is a daily driver for many android authority staff but when it comes to sales or actual market share HTC lags behind a lot at about six percent of the whole android market out to combat these issues HTC is focusing more heavily on its mid-range desire lineup the product category where they've had the most success recently the other half of HTC strategy is to improve brand penetration and market appeal through new innovative products and that's where they re camera comes in it apparently is just first in a new lineup of stand-alone devices aimed at non HTC customers HTC's recamara supports a 16 megapixel sensor shooting 1080p at 30 frames per second it has an 820 milliamp hour battery and enough for 1,200 photos or one hour and 40 minutes of continuous full HD video recording it has memory up to 128 gigabytes via a microSD card slot it is waterproof and has bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity now the recamaras said to be about 199 so for all you go pro fans out there would you drop your GoPro and go for a read so let's move on the news about the Droid turbo and it turns out that Verizon on Friday had a bad social media day droid landing the account that verizon only uses to promote incoming launches of new droid devices tweeted on Friday a beautiful high-res image of the red version of the droid turbo the image shows a rather good looking device wrapped in red Kevlar the design is distinctly Motorola but it doesn't share resemblance with the new Moto X or the rumored Nexus 6 now because at least some of the droid turbos manual was leaked online we know that the droid turbo will have a 5.2 inch display and sport a 21 megapixel camera thanks for watching android army my name is Jace love do connect with you right here on Google+ or Twitter I read all the comments and at replies you can check out my brothers in Android they're working real hard to deliver the best content on the web I should see you next week on Android weekly
