Nexus 6 said to be nonexistent, Android Silver hinted as replacement

May 17, 2014

We have been hearing about Android Silver for some time, an initiative that would effectively replace the Nexus program. Simply put, Android Silver would have Google partnering with manufacturers to produce high-end devices that run stock Android. Today, it seems that the Nexus 5 could be the final smartphone from the program.

On Twitter, @evleaks noted that a Nexus 6 does not exist and said “Farewell, Nexus.” After that, he did say a silver lining can be found. If you are not catching on, that presumably means the Android Silver initiative does exist and will be given some light soon.

Will we hear about it at Google I/O in June? There is a very good chance. There is also a very good chance that the Nexus 8 is announced. We could even catch a glimpse of the next version of Android then. Stay tuned.

Are you sad to see that the Nexus program may be axed?
