Google Nexus 6 launching "soon" on Verizon

Verizon seems to be finally getting ready to release the Google Nexus 6 - which has been available via other major US carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile) since last year. Unfortunately, Verizon doesn't have a launch date to give us just yet, but it's mentioning that the smartphone is "coming soon" - which might mean customers will be able to get it starting the next few weeks.

Released by Google in November, the Nexus 6 is manufactured by Motorola, and is the largest Nexus smartphone to date, as well as the most expensive (the 32 GB model costs $649, while the 64 GB one is priced at $699). Last week, Google admitted that it didn't expect the Nexus 6 to be in high demand, that's why the device is often out of stock. And perhaps this is also one of the reasons why Verizon hasn't released it yet.

Being the world's first handset to run Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box, the Nexus 6 certainly has a lot to offer. It features a massive 6-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display, a 13 MP rear camera, quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.7 GHz, 3 GB of RAM, and a 3220 mAh battery. Our Nexus 6 review will let you know much more about the handset.
