Only specs I've really seen leaked are 5.7" screen and based on the unannounced "Mate 8" model.

 

From http://www.breathecast.com/articles/nexus-2015-rumors-news-leaked-video-reveals-specs-of-purported-2015-huawei-nexus-video-30407/

 

 

 

Recently, Hemmerstoffer uploaded a video featuring a prototype of the Huawei Ascend Mate 8. Latest rumors suggest that just like the 2015 LG Nexus will be inspired by the LG Nexus 5 from 2013, the upcoming Huawei Nexus smartphone is likely to be based on the yet to be released Mate 8 flagship. It is being rumored that the Chinese tech giant will unveil the Mate 8 smartphone at the IFA 2015 trade show in Berlin.
The purported Huawei Nexus smartphone features a USB Type-C connector at its bottom edge. The video also shows the display of the device for a couple of seconds. Speculation is rife that the device will pack a larger AMOLED display of 5.7 inches.
Meanwhile, Phone Arena reports that Samsung will manufacture the AMOLED screen of the 2015 Huawei Nexus phone. It is expected that the device will be powered by either a Snapdragon 810 or the upcoming Snapdragon 820 chipset together with 4 GB of RAM. It will run on Google's latest mobile operating system - Android M.

 

 

 

 

The Mate 7 had a 4100+mah battery, speculation is that this could have the same or bigger.

 

Anything passed through the FCC for a US and/or Sprint version that covers the Spark bands?  I'm in the market for a new phone this fall and will be going off contract, buying a Nexus.

Holy moly!  It was an act of congress, but MasterCard finally approved my claim!     They initially insisted that I get it repaired and get a repair estimate.  I explained several times and ways

This is the device I'm extremely interested in.  We no longer take part in the phone subsidy game and purchase devices out of pocket.  Was hoping this years (large) Nexus would have been the same size as last year, but 5.7" will work as well.  If true, that battery will be beastly with the battery sipping tweaks M utilizes.

I'm very interested in the 2015 Moto X Pure and the Huawei Nexus.  Both fit into the size I'm looking to get back to (i miss my old Note 2 so much).  I don't want to be tied to TouchWiz or carrier blaot any longer.  So sick of having to root and stay on the CM cutting edge to be current with the OS and security patching.

 

Hopefully the price point and full specs for the Mate 8 come out in early September so that Google will make their announcement shortly after.

Couldn't possibly agree with your post any more.  If the Huawei isn't up to snuff then I'll go with the Moto X Pure.  My preference is Nexus.  Due to my visual disability, I have to root and modify phones and the Nexus is the easiest to work with in that regard.  Looking forward to Huawei showing the Mate 8 off at IFA.  Thanks for the links.

I've been wanting to try a Nexus device. I don't have any experience with Huawei phones, but I'm willing give it a try if it has a Snapdragon 820 instead of their homegrown chipset (which might be great, but I'd rather stick with a known quantity in Qualcomm).

I'd like to see it as well, but I am doubtful that it will have the 820.

All of the rumors have it with a homebrew chipset, based on the Mate8.

 

The Mate7 had a Kirin too

Processor aside, if the Huawei handset supports CDMA2000, it will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon baseband.

Very true AJ, the CDMA IP that Qualcomm has still makes them some money ;)

 

There is a history of Nexus devices that don't support CDMA:

Nexus One

Nexus S (later updated to support CDMA/WiMax)

Galaxy Nexus (later updated to support CDMA/WiMax)

Nexus 4

 

With two Nexus devices rumored (refreshed Nexus 5 and this Huawei) I could see one of them not supporting CDMA.

 

Here is 8/8 tweet from evleak that appears to the the Mate8 that is supposedly the base for the Huawei Nexus

I am glad that you posted this.  You read my mind, as I thought about posting the same thing.  If we do get two Nexus handsets this fall, I would not be shocked if the smaller LG Nexus supported CDMA2000 but the larger Huawei Nexus did not.

I'll be disappointed if that happens, however, the Moto X Pure is a great option too.  With the way Motorola is marketing it, it is essentially a Nexus device in that it has no bloat, carrier apps, locking, skins, etc.

I have almost zero interest in the Huawei Nexus handset.  Huawei is too much of a Chinese wild card.  And because of the 2015 Moto X, my interest in the LG Nexus handset is not that great -- unless I decide the Moto X truly is too big.

My own concern with the Moto X Pure is the RF performance.  From your review of the OET data, it was middle of the road.  I'm somewhat rural in West Michigan where cell site spacing is not the best.  With my S4T, Spring/Fall/Winter I get great LTE service, however, Summer is a bit spotty as tree foliage causes RF interference.

This would sadden me as my afflicted eyeballs need gynormous screen.

Food for thought... Wouldn't Google want their newest handsets to work with project fi? I would assume then that it would work with Sprints network. Just thinking out loud.

It could still use Project Fi without CDMA. Sprint and T-Mobile's LTE and GSM/HSPA+ fallback from T-Mobile.

 

Just a random thought.

I'm actually pretty excited about this phone. All the reviews I've read of the Mate 7 praise the build quality and everything you'd really be concerned about on the hardware side. Most of the criticism has been around the software tweaks, which would be nullified by this being a Nexus device. If it comes out, supports Sprint, and has anything like the battery life/build quality of the Mate 7 along with a slightly better camera and solid RF performance, I will be pretty stoked about it.

 

Speaking of RF performance, any idea when we might expect to see this and the supposed LG Nexus successor come through the FCC?

Lots of new image leaks

 

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/08/24/more-images-of-the-huawei-nexus-angler-leak-showing-off-usb-type-c-port-and-snapdragon-810/

 With a SnapDragon 810?  Didn't those have overheating issues?  I thought this was going to have a homebrew processor

Still nothing through the FCC :/

But then it loses the coverage of the Sprint 3G network. Sprint's LTE isn't everywhere unfortunately and losing that dependable 3G connection would definitely make Project Fi lose it's appeal for me.

Probably a fake leak but it isnt TERRIBLE looking to me at least. It just looks like they slimmed the phone down as much as possible. Makes me wonder how good of a camera that will be..

 

Still leaning towards the LG Nexus 5 after seeing this though.

The Mate S was announced today, this is supposedly the "base" for the Nexus 6

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By wispiANt · Posted

      Historically, T-Mobile has been the only carrier contracting with Crown Castle Solutions, at least in Brooklyn. I did a quick count of the ~35 nodes currently marked as "installed" and everything mapped appears to be T-Mobile. However, they have a macro sector pointed directly at this site and seem to continue relying on the older-style DAS nodes. Additionally, there's another Crown Castle Solutions node approved for construction just around the corner, well within range of their macro. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Verizon using a new vendor for their mmWave build, especially since the macro site directly behind this node lacks mmWave/CBRS deployment (limited to LTE plus C-Band). However, opting for a multi-carrier solution here seems unlikely unless another carrier has actually joined the build. This node is equidistant (about five blocks) between two AT&T macro sites, and there are no oDAS nodes deployed nearby. Although I'm not currently mapping AT&T, based on CellMapper, it appears to be right on cell edge for both sites. Regardless, it appears that whoever is deploying is planning for a significant build. There are eight Crown Castle Solutions nodes approved for construction in a 12-block by 2-block area.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By radem · Posted

      Starlink (1900mhz) for T-Mobile, AST SpaceMobile (700mhz and 850mhz) for AT&T, GlobalStar (unknown frequency) for Apple, Iridium (unknown frequency) for Samsung, and AST SpaceMobile (850mhz) for Verizon only work on frequency bands the carrier has licensed nationwide.  These systems broadcast and listen on multiple frequencies at the same time in areas much wider than normal cellular market license areas.  They would struggle with only broadcasting certain frequencies only in certain markets so instead they require a nationwide license.  With the antennas that are included on the satellites, they have range of cellular band frequencies they support and can have different frequencies with different providers in each supported country.  The cellular bands in use are typically 5mhz x 5mhz bands (37.5mbps total for the entire cell) or smaller so they do not have a lot of data bandwidth for the satellite band covering a very large plot of land with potentially millions of customers in a single large cellular satellite cell.  I have heard that each of Starlink's cells sharing that bandwidth will cover 75 or more miles. Satellite cellular connectivity will be set to the lowest priority connection just before SOS service on supported mobile devices and is made available nationwide in supported countries.  The mobile device rules pushed by the provider decide when and where the device is allowed to connect to the satellite service and what services can be provided over that connection.  The satellite has a weak receiving antenna and is moving very quickly so any significant obstructions above your mobile device antenna could cause it not to work.  All the cellular satellite services are starting with texting only and some of them like Apple's solution only support a predefined set of text messages.  Eventually it is expected that a limited number of simultaneous voice calls (VoLTE) will run on these per satellite cell.  Any spare data will then be available as an extremely slow LTE data connection as it could potentially be shared by millions of people.  Satellite data from the way these are currently configured will likely never work well enough to use unless you are in a very remote location.

      will this work for service in a plane?

      T-Mobile owns the PCS G-block across the contiguous U.S. so they can just use that spectrum to broadcast direct to cell. Ideally your phone would only connect to it in areas where there isn't any terrestrial service available.

      So how does this whole direct to satellite thing fit in with the way it works now? Carriers spend billions for licenses for specific areas. So now T-Mobile can offer service direct to customers without having a Terrestrial license first?
