Looks like L, Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 proper unveiling this week, tomorrow If rumours are correct.
From a pulled google ad.

This was taken from Cristian Colocho's post on Google+:

"..The ad was 4 people standing in a line, and the phone starts ringing, guy a checks his phone; not his ringing. Guy two checks his, not his ringing, guy 3 which is a super small guy checks his, bingo! It's a super big phablet that looks just like a Moto X with L buttons as navigation..."




Statue sculpture has been at Google for the past 2 days or so.

HTC employee posted this which many suspect is the HTC Nexus 9.


Edit: Full ad also shows Nexus 9

I thought that official Android devices don't support SD cards and the addition of them was an OEM thing.

You probably have small hands so that's why you can't comprehend using bigger phones. Also, I find reading books and watching tv and movies on bigger screens easier. Instead of carrying around two devices (phone and tablet), I only need to carry around one.

my hands are pretty big. my lg g2 can sit in the palm of my hand and i can still use the phone with one hand. i just dont think i will be able to use this phone with one hand, which is gonna be inconvenient.

Never will I.
Saying that though they've done a good job considering its smaller (iirc) than the Iphone 6 which is 5.5" despite it being 5.9".

Last week a manual leak gave us a tantalizing look at what's coming in Verizon and Motorola's latest Droid handset, and today we can reveal even more information on what's looking like a super-high-end Moto phone for the U.S.'s biggest carrier. Meet the Motorola Droid Turbo.

Read on for the full details.

Thanks to leaked marketing materials sent our way by an anonymous source, we're able to show you the Droid Turbo in all its glory.

The Droid Turbo's chassis shows some similarities with last year's Droid MAXX, and red and black versions will be available, apparently with 32GB of internal storage. The Turbo's body is said to be furnished in scratch-resistant "metallized glass fiber" with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 display, and basic splash-repellent properties. The phone can withstand "everyday spills and 20 minutes in a downpour," the marketing docs state. The back panel is reinforced with Kevlar, "offering a smooth finish."

Snapdragon 805, 3GB of RAM, 3,900mAh battery and wireless charging...
On the inside, the Droid Turbo boasts some beastly specs — a 2.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM and a 5.2-inch Quad HD (2560x1440) resolution display (that's an insane 565 pixels per inch). Around the back there's a 21-megapixel camera with 4K video recording capabilities and Dual LED flash. That's in addition to Motorola camera features like Quick Capture and video highlights that we've seen on the Moto X.

That's all powered by a 3,900mAh battery, which is claimed will keep the Turbo humming for 48 hours of use. As it's done with the Moto X, Motorola continues to push charging time as a differentiator, and the Droid Turbo will get 8 hours of use from a charge of just 15 minutes from the bundled Motorola Turbo Charger, it's claimed. What's more, a wireless charging back is included for hassle-free charging.

In terms of networking, expect the Turbo to support Verizon's 4G LTE/XLTE network — and within 30-90 days of launch it'll be updated to take advantage of Big Red's Wireless Calling 1.0, the carrier's VoLTE implementation.

New Droid-specific 'Zap' features are coming too.
On the software side, the device appears to be running Android 4.4 KitKat, though no OS version is specifically mentioned in the materials we've seen. In addition to Moto X features like Moto Voice, Moto Actions, Moto Assist and Moto Display, the Turbo sports a handful of new Droid-specific "Zap" features. "Zap Zone" allows Droid Turbo owners to set up their own local sharing group with those around them, and share pictures "with the flick of a finger." Zap to TV uses your Chromecast to set up an instant slideshow of your photos. And "Zap with Voice" lets you share a screenshot to your Zap Zone by saying "OK Droid Turbo, Zap my screen." (If you're so inclined.)

So what we have here is the very highest of high-end phones for Verizon, incorporating some of our favorite bits from earlier Droids (battery life from the MAXX series) as well as a bit of the extraneous fluff ("OK Droid Turbo, Zap my screen").

Anyone on Verizon tempted by this monster? Shout out in the comments​
