Google Nexus 6 specifications surface thanks to new report
News regarding the Nexus 6 has been coming in at a steady rate lately and today we managed to learn some very interesting new details about the phone. Similar to its predecessors, this new Nexus device is also being co-developed by Google and another big manufacturer. This time around the tech giant chose Motorola and the two companies are working on the largest smartphone in the series yet. Code-named Shamu, the Nexus 6 is said to feature a 5.92-inch display so it’s closer to a tablet than a regular smartphone. A recent report confirms that this will in fact be its actual size while also adding that the design is very similar to that of the recently released Moto X (2014).
The humongous screen will feature a QHD resolution of 1,440 x 2560 pixels, which amounts to a grand total of 498 pixels per inch. The report also suggests that the Nexus 6 will come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and a pretty massive 3,200 mAh battery. As for the cameras, we will be looking at a 13MP primary shooter along with a 2 MP snapper on the front. Storage options have not been completely revealed as of yet and so far we only know that the Nexus 6 will feature a 32GB model. More options are likely to be available, but we’ll have to wait until Google officially unveils the device to be certain.
Reports indicate that the device will be announced sometime during mid-October, with a launch scheduled for early November. Interestingly enough, another Nexus device is also said to be announced and launched around those times, namely the HTC Nexus 9. Google is said to host a special event on October 16th and it’s here where the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 are believed to make their first official appearance. Also at this event, Google is expected to finally launch Android L and the two new Nexus devices will be the first to run on the latest version of the operating system.
A PS5 firmware update on a cold winter morning is unmatched. The latest PS5 system software update is 23.02–08.40.00 from Sony. Does this one add useful features or just boost system performance?
Though closer to the latter, it’s more than Sony’s favorite patch note. It fixes security issues, improves messages and usability, and boosts system software performance. Official patch notes for this 1.185GB update:
- We updated system software security
- We improved system software stability and performance
- Some screens now have better messages and usability
That’s it. PS5 gets another win to recover from its midweek slump. Do you share our enthusiasm for this firmware update? Comment below. To spice things up, make your comment rhyme.
Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?
We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.
