The Google Nexus 6 was not announced yet that rumours began to circulate that Google was looking to release two Nexus smartphones this year. One rumour suggested a 5.2-inch model manufactured by Motorola, the company behind the Nexus 6, while another suggested a slightly upgraded Nexus 5 with 64GB of internal storage.

Concept Sunday: Wireless Dual Battery charger
For all the technological innovations we have seen in the mobile space in recent years, our batteries still let us down at the most inopportune times far too often. Countless accessories have already tackled this challenge but few deliver a truly satisfactory solution. Packing a spare battery cable and charger is often not a convenient colution either.

Concept Sunday: Domino Nexus Marble
Many concepts we have featured on Concept Sunday are interesting designs in which specifications take a back seat to a unique form factor.

Much like Project Ara is doing for smartphones, the Blocks modular smartwatch wanted to bring customizeability to smartwatches. The concept envisions that most of the watch’s functionality would come in the form of wristband modules. Each block would support a range of functions such as GPS, health […]
