Anybody heard about this beast or is this nonsense?

I'd say nonsense but who knows

I kinda doubt it'll be a snapdragon 810... Qualcomm's website even says it won't be available till mid 2015...
http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/810
" The Snapdragon 810 processor is anticipated to begin sampling in the second half of 2014 and expected to be available in commercial devices by the first half of 2015."
I'm betting on the K1 processor from Nvidia. But if it's the 64bit version it'll only be a dual core... Not sure how well most tablet apps and the Android OS is coded for 4 threads... So dual core may be fine...

3 or 4 GB would sound more realistic to me. Btw, if this device actually releases with a 4:3 display, I´m not going to buy it :good:

Yeah, most important specs are screen size and aspect ratio, if it is 8.4"+ with 16:10 ratio I am defintely getting it, but I won't ever buy a 4:3 tablet b/c how much I do video streaming on it.

Those specs are just a pipedream.
It was reported over 2 weeks ago on Android Police: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/06/21/this-is-volantis-htcs-nine-inch-nexus-tablet/
These specs are more realistic to me:
•8.9" Display at 2048x1440 (281ppi)
•NVIDIA Logan 64-bit processor (Tegra K1)
•2GB RAM
•16/32GB internal storage
•8MP OIS main camera, 3MP front facing camera
•Aluminum zero-gap construction
•Stereo front-facing speakers
•8.91"x5.98"x0.31" body (that's 22.63x15.19x0.79cm)
•418g (or 427g with LTE) (that's 14.74/15.1 ounces)

If it's the Tegra k1, benchmarks of the new nexus will blow everything out of the water... And wait till custom kernels with overclocking...

5 GB RAM.... I'm posting this from a PC with only 2GB of RAM xD Phones will be more powerful than PC's at this rate.

Wishful thinking has once again made it to the rumour mill, I see.
Fake.
No company is stupid enough to sell 5GB when there are none yet with 4GB. It makes more business sense to sell a 4GB one first. (same principle as why we've got 2K and now a few 4K tv's whilst they're already capable of making 8K for several years.)

Moto G 2015 wish list

Ok, so i love Motorola as a company, despite the recent hate (which is not justified in my opinion), i love all their products and i think they are great. I owned a Moto G 1st gen and bought the Moto G 2nd gen right after the launch and loving it even more after Android L update, so i have a wish list for the next gen
If they want to dominate the mid range phone segment and make a killer smartphone i would recommend the next wish list, i don't know if it is possible for the price, so here it is:
Display: 5” - 5.5" full HD IPS 1080 x 1920 pixels
Processor: Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 615 octa-core chipset (MSM8939) 64-bit
GPU: Adreno 405
RAM: 2 GB A MUST!
Storage: 16GB, microSD card slot, up to 64GB
Camera: 8 Megapixel Rear Camera, 2MP Front Camera
Battery: 2700 mAh
Software: Android L or latest
Dual front facing speakers
And all the conectivity, GPS, microUSB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth etc.
For the same price! Or max 200$
What do you guys think? Is it possible?

You are pretty much describing the Moto X, but at the price of a Moto G.
I'd say 5-5,2", 720p screen, Snapdragon 410, LTE , 16GB ROM, 2GB RAM, camera stabilizer, microSD, 2700 mAh battery. So the same thing with a bit of an improvement in the processor, LTE, more RAM, more battery and stabilization for the camera; exactly what the Moto G 2nd Gen lacks of.

Just more RAM - 2 GB would be the best possible improvement. With the other specifications I am ok actually.

I only add more RAM and 64bits processor
And LTE By default for all models
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app

2GB Ram
Snapdragon 615
LTE
Adreno 405
2400 mAh battery
That would keep it competitive with newer mid-range phones coming out.
Keep the screen the same. Camera could use some improvement, but I don't want a bump in price, so I could do without that. I don't even mind 8GB internal since it has an SD slot.

Moto x 2nd gen has a snapdragon 801 32-bit processor and a amoled display where are they the same? Please point the similarities here is the spec list of the X 2nd gen http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_x_(2014)-6649.php

Well, I meant "a" Moto X. I just don't see it happening for 179-200$ and those specs are high-end, so if you wanted something similar you should be looking for a Moto X. It'd cost you, but you aren't getting this at that price.

The price for those components will drop by the end of the year when the Moto G 2015 wil come out, look at this phones, and you will see it is possible Zenfone 2 http://www.androidauthority.com/asus-zenfone-2-hands-first-impressions-579187/ 200$ for the base model, ZTE Blade S6 $250 and you get Lollipop, Snapdragon 615, LTE, and a 13MP camera http://www.androidauthority.com/zte-blade-s6-price-specs-features-583086/

Those really aren't high end specs in 2015, that's similar to what the next crop of already announced midrange phones is offering. Component are getting cheaper and the mid-range market is more competitive now than when the first Moto G came out.

An OLED FHD display would be nice, especially for the night mode so the smartphone can finally be used as a suitable nighstand alarm clock without that awful background light all the current smartphones are emitting... !!!
Other than the above:
64bit 4/8 core CPU
2GB of LPDDR4 RAM
16GB ROM
Gorilla Glass 4
Replaceable 3200 mAh Li-ion or Supercapacitor
8-12 Mp Camera with stabilization and depth sensor
2-5 Mp Front facing camera
5"-5.1" FHD OLED display
Better stereo front speakers
And maybe a little less plastic for the housing

My wishlist would be basically slightly upgraded Moto G LTE
4.5" screen
2Gb ram
Larger battery
Better camera
8GB ROM with microSD slot.
Wireless charging.
Sidenote, I'm not convinced that Moto G needs to over 5" screensize because one of it's strongest selling points aside from clean OS is that there are very few options in it's size group unless you go for used and/or older models. For example, Samsung's compact models are really underwhelming while Sony's offerings are very expensive, then you have random budget-brands which I wouldn't touch even with a 10-foot pole. LG has couple models that are pretty close, but display resolution is disappointing.

if thats what the 2015 moto g is going to have, im leaving the flagship, sorry, this is my choice

As per the specs u want be ready to pay heavily as u have described a Moto gen X 2
---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
And by considering the specs suggested by some members i think it will beat the price of Nexus 6 or Moto X 2 . lol

BAD
5", 1080p, Snapdragon 801 (even with 3GB RAM) is early 2014 specs for a top-tier phone.
GOOD
It does have stereo speakers, which I wished our Moto Maxx phones had.
Has rear OIS camera, which our Moto Maxx phones SHOULD have, but don't.
And 3100 mAh battery is pretty good for those "mid tier" specs, as the early 2014 5.5" LG G3 with 1440p, Snapdragon 801 also with 3GB RAM and stereo speakers only has a 3000 mAh battery...
But our Moto Maxx phone has 3900 mAh, and we have Kevlar like this phone has. In fact, the Moto Maxx with ballistic nylon has ballistic nylon + Kevlar.
And we have 5.2", 1440p, Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAm with 64GB storage.
So, other than the stereo speakers and OIS camera, the specs seem to be mostly less than the Moto Maxx XT1225?

I did look the original article, not your thread. That's where I got the Kevlar from, and the stereo speakers, and the OIS rear camera. That's not mentioned in the brief follow up you first posted.
Your thread states specs the original article does not. Did they update some specs?

EDIT: seems like the article linked by Android Authority has a couple of outdated specs.
https://www.saygus.com/v2/
They've upgraded internal memory to 64GB.

If not, then there's nothing else of interest in the specs. I don't care for fingerprint scanner, so I didn't mention it. Was there something in particular you think I missed?
Phone was delayed but they didn't update the hardware specs.

- Front facing 13MP camera with OIS ON THE FRONT!
- Two microSD card slots (of which you CAN boot from them)
- 60 GHz fractal wireless gaming antenna
- The list goes on. Again read the original thread to see all the features it has. You're getting hung up on a proccesor that's barely a year old. It still performs very well and doesn't have overheating issues like the 810 (or so they say the 810 overheats, that's a different topic). My point is this is a very interesting phone and it still seems like a solid device. Also some still like a 1080p screen. Given that content in 4K in not as readily available as Full HD content is. 4K is not a must have for some. Also having a 1080p screen saves on battery (we all know this)

I will admit at $550 the phone is a little on the expensive side.

We shall all see on 5/22 what happens; I still have my doubts.
And the 801 processor is now 2 generations behind, not to mention the rest of the specs are no longer 'bleeding edge' but simply "good"
Not saying its going to suck, but its certainly not going to be king of the mountain when it come out.

I plan on getting it. However, I'm very happy with my 2014 X and will wait till the price drops a bit.

Doubt there will be a fingerprint scanner...Moto's head guy isn't a fan of it. I'll be selling my 2014 for the 2015

Dont think they'll go QuadHD. That would drive prices up and moto found a nice market for now. They're not that stablished yet. Also I think the 16GB is gone and no MSD, that would "kill" moto design for the X. Unless moto comes up with a trully insane new phone, I'll remain on my 2014. This thing is still a beast

Amazon offering for $199

If anyone's interested, Amazon is apparently offering the Moto X 2014 for $199 new right now.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MW...sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=Moto+x+2014
I would argue that the X right now is still a better deal than the 2015 G, given that it has the faster (though older) processor, slightly older but far less noisy camera and Moto Voice, as well as a metal frame. Just be sure that Android updates beyond Marshmallow aren't top priority.

If you're upgrading from the Nexus 5, I'd advise you actually wait for something better, or spend a bit more and get the 5X. You're getting a similar screen (same res, roughly same size, but now AMOLED), a slightly more powerful chip (but that's honestly splitting hairs) and a just as inconsistent camera. The only real upgrades here are the build and slightly newer stuff inside, and unless that's worth $199 to you, then wait.
This is more for people who are upgrading from anything older than 2013 (flagship) or 2014 (midrange), where the difference is going to jump. But from a nexus 5 it's not going to be significant enough in my opinion.

It also doesn't state model but one of the user questions is answered as it being XT1095.
If it is on 5.0 one should be able to root via Mofo and unlock bootloader via Sunshine.
I agree that this phone would be a better deal than the 2015 G.
