Motorola Shamu Mock Up Spotted

In the past, we have seen a smartphone that is known as the Nexus 6, as well as the Nexus X, or even carry the code name Shamu – it does not matter, since a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, similar to this upcoming device from the folks over at Motorola. Word has it that this particular device is set to be revealed in due time, although there is no concrete date listed just yet. While no images of the alleged Motorola Shamu has been spotted, here we are with a mock up that offers a closer look at what the next-generation Nexus smartphone could very well look like.

Of course, mock ups should always be taken with a pinch of salt, especially when you take into consideration how nothing is really finalized under the real deal is released. Still, some information can be garnered from the mock-up image, where it does resemble a whole lot like the latest Moto X (2014) model, albeit being a wee bit larger in size with a 5.92” display, while carrying a beefier 3,200 mAh battery.

As for the rest of the hardware specifications, it does look as though the new Nexus device will feature a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB RAM, a 12MP camera at the back that does 4K video recording, in addition to a 2MP front-facing camera. Will we see QHD resolution be included in the display? Only time will tell, so stay tuned.
