Nexus 6 render (on the left) vs official 2014 Moto X image (on the right)
Where there is smoke, there must be fire. And there is a lot of smoke about the Nexus 6, which is expected to get officially unveiled very soon, as the latest leak shows a full-on press render of Google's next flagship.
Industry watchers would also find it amusing that this leaks comes from now retired leakster @evleaks, a person who has allegedly gotten in the center of some controversies lately.
As a quick recap on the rumors, the Nexus 6 (aka Nexus X, or Motorola 'Shamu') is expected to feature a large, 5.9-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560-pixel) display, a Snapdragon 805 system chip, and a 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization.

To start, there's the wrong play store icon, the material design one looks different.
Second, the display is f.cking lopsided and the speaker is crooked.
Evleaks is stopping pretty low.

It's a render, not the official device, PhoneArena.com is just reporting that another render came out, ESPECIALLY from evleaks.
PhoneArena.com did well in reporting this.

It's not bad on the Moto X ('14), but at this size, slickness will be the least of your worries.

This render is blowing up Reddit.
The bottom screen is misaligned (clearly this controlled "leak" by Google's promotional, photoshop team is a little amateurish)
Also those two Google folders look like that girl's jugs, notice how it coincidentally labels "Google" and "Create". This whole s**t is weird.

Meet me again when this thing is unveiled ;) I hope you will say it's ugly as hell when it is really unveiled :) It's really weird that we don't blame Google, we blame eveleaks. Let's wait and see and I hope you have the guts to comment tomorrow.

The Moto X has no stereo speakers?

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-Moto-X-2014_id8897 is wrong. We need to fix this PhoneArena.com.

I still am hoping for stereo speakers, since the Moto G has them. I mean if the Google Nexus 6 or X wants to be different than the Moto X then this will be a huge differentiator.

It's loud, but I wish that it (and the earpiece) didn't protrude like they do.

I think it protrudes so you can place the phone down its front or back. I have a leather back so I would prefer to put it face down.
Edit: I was thinking about it a little and maybe they did it to protect the screen if you drop the phone.

I also have the leather back (black, with red trim), and I don't mind putting it on the back, but I am careful where and how I place it.

Hope they keep the nexus 5 just update the specs a little camera etc, not everyone wants a 6 inch phablet.

The Nexus 5 will get an update...to L. There really isn't much you would gain with an incremental spec boost.
