well this then fully confirms that a Nexus 6 and Nexus (8/9) exists.

Dave Burke, head of Android Engineering and the Nexus program has come out to say

"People have been commenting about Nexus because there is something else and they think that means the end of Nexus. That is the totally wrong conclusion to make"

however he doesn't comment much on Android Silver.

Actually it could mean the end of Nexus branded phones, but the brand would live on for tablets. That would technically mean its not the end of the nexus program.

Although seeing as the Nexus line is aimed towards developers/enthusiasts i cant see them not making more nexus branded phones.

Yes, this is true, but it does still remain that one of the primary markets for the line is developers. Its one of the few phones that is sold in many markets that runs completely stock android, that is guaranteed to receive updates etc.

I personally don't like my nexus 5 it had a bunch of heat problems, also they had to re-release it because of all the defects the phones had, and I wish it wasn't based on luck if your phone was shit or not.

Again like I said before refer to my last comment "Take it up with google or your carrier".

They literately can't do anything, they can't just keep giving me phones, especially since its not really broken by their standards, considering when they designed the phone they knew how hot it was getting.

Why would they call it the Nexus 6 as it's unlikely they'll make a 6" phone as the 5 is already 5.5" which as big as you want for a phone and the name scheme comes from the size of the device ie: the Nexus 4 was 4.2" and the Nexus 7 is 7" and when they released the new revision of the Nexus 7 in 2013 is was still called the Nexus 7 so unless they completely change the naming scheme will likely never see a device called the "Nexus 6".

I wish that the Nexus 6 will have a better camera. It doesn't need to be a 24 megapixel senor, aslong as it is big enoughth to take good quaility pictures.

The Nexus 5 isn't 5.5"...it's not even 5".

It wasn't really meant to compete at a top tier level. The camera's decent for the price of the phone.
