While Canada still waits to get its hands on the Google Nexus 6, a new rumour suggests that Google is readying a new colour. Where available, the Nexus 6 is currently available in either Midnight Blue or Cloud White. Now comes a report via an xdadevelopers user that Google is planning to release a third colour as well.
According to seanerixon, Google plans to offer a “Sand” edition of the Nexus 6. The infomation comes from an unnamed “Google rep:”
Just wanted to let everyone know, that Google plans to release the “Sand” edition of this phone as well(it’s their version of gold). Just found out today from a Google rep. Anyone going to wait for this color? Personally, I’m just going for the white. But figured I would let everyone know here, since I didn’t see any word of it on the forums. No idea of when it’ll be announced or sold, yet.
The rumour is not so farfetched considering that Google already offers a Sand version of the Google Nexus 9 tablet (seen below along with other shades).
Assuming the report is legitimate, it may be a while before we see it. Google and Motorola have had trouble keeping up with demand with the two existing colours and will likely wait for supply to stabilize before introducing any additional variants.
Meanwhile, Canada continues to wait for the Nexus 6. Earlier reports suggested it would launch today as a pre-order but Google Play Canada continues to promise only that it is “coming soon.”
