This rumor is credit to Android Police, who have reportedly obtained proof of the new device from an unnamed source familiar with the project. All we have at this time is the code name – Shamu, which is consistent with past aquatic naming schemes for Nexus devices – an unspecified 5.9-inch display and the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner. This supposed device is slated for a November release.

I'm in. I never thought I'd want a phone that big, but now that I'm doing a lot of traveling for work it would be great.

Same, as long as the bezels are thin to keep the phone as slim and small as possible.

I doubt this is true though, Nexus rumors are always wrong.

Yeah, that's a little much for me. I'd say 5-5.1 with the thinnest of bezels is my limit.

I'd say 5.5-5.7 is my limit with thin bezels edge to edge, etc.

However, 5.9 could be doable just all depends on the device size.

Again though, I highly highly doubt it's 5.9 or close, I'd guess 5.5 max.

If it's really going to be made by Motorola I'd bet it'll be in the 5.1 to 5.4 range. This is what's being leaked for the upcoming Moto X+1 and Verizon's Droid flagship series so a similar size would make sense for a number of reasons.

A Motorola Nexus device no bigger that 5.5" with the RAZR MAXX battery would be tits.

I'd be surprised if it isn't LG again.

I think an LG rep has said that they aren't making the next Nexus.
