After all the rumours around the Halloween (October 31) release for Nexus
are not yet confirmed. Another report by Phonearena suggests that Google
might release two Nexus devices this year.
Google is reportedly planning to release two new smartphones this year,
one with a 5.9-inch screen and another with a 5.2-inch display, according to
Phone Arena's Michael Heller.

The report is based on recent
speculation
that Motorola is currently testing 2 Moto S handsets - a 5.2-inch and a
5.9-inch model - that are almost the same device with slightly
different software and maybe different cameras'.
Motorola, which was
reported to be aiming to launch 8 new smartphones before Christmas, was
also said to be waiting for the public's reaction to the anticipated
5.2-inch Moto X+1 before deciding which variant of the Moto S to
release.
The Phonearena
report speculates
Google will first release a 5.9-inch
Nexus X smartphone as
already rumoured, and then depending on if Motorola releases a 5.9-inch
Moto S (a decision that's supposedly based on Moto X+1 adoption), will
use or 'repurpose' the already-tested 5.2-inch Moto S devices as the
second Nexus smartphone. Notably, Phonearena has not speculated about
the name of the smaller Nexus.
The website goes on to say that
nothing has been confirmed, and that Google may very well release "two
Nexus smartphones and the new Nexus 8.9 tablet" simultaneously at
Halloween.
The two alleged 5.9-inch and 5.2-inch display Nexus X
devices have been spotted on different listings before. On Best Buy the
alleged Motorola Nexus X XT1100 device was
listed
with a 5.9-inch Quad-HD (1440x2560 pixels) display and a 2.7GHz
quad-core processor, along with Android LMP operating system. The
listing had noted that the smartphone's two-year contracted price would
be a rather steep (for a Nexus smartphone) $
499.99 (approximately Rs.
30,000) on Sprint wireless carrier.

The
alleged Nexus X device was also
listed
on AnTuTu website as 'Google Shamu', this time 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.
