Google's upcoming rumored smartphone comes in many monikers--Nexus 6, Nexus X and even Motorola Shamu--but they all refer to one new Android flagship that could probably hit the market right in November.

Aside from these names, the handset could also come as "Nexus 5 2014," according to PC Advisor.

While it has a thing for names, it seems that the device also morphs into another familiar unit. 9to5google reported that the Nexus 6 is strongly a phablet that resembles the Moto X.

The outlet specifically compared the handset to a "scaled up second-generation Moto X." The Nexus 6 may sport a 5.92-inch diagonal display, which obviously, is just the screen. The body will have to be slightly bigger.

How the upcoming model fares against already-established rivals was tabulated by Daily Mail. In terms of the cameras, the Nexus 6 might have a 2MP front-facing snapper, which makes it fall behind iPhone 6's 8MP version.

However, the rear-facing shooter will come at 13MP. Apple's flagship loses for having the same 8MP as its front. Nexus 6's rear camera lines it with Amazon Fire and Samsung Galaxy S4, and slightly under Samsung Note Edge, S5 and Note 4 (16MP).

Nokia 1020 feeds the others dust with its grand 41MP rear snapper.

The Nexus 6 takes the lead in terms of power, when it is allegedly houses a large 3200mAh battery. It was also reported to come in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage options.

Just like Samsung's freshly-released Galaxy Note 4, the Nexus 6 may work under Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 processor. In addition, the Nexus 6 will operate on the highly-anticipated Android L, which is expected to boost battery life. The new OS could also come in November, which could mean a simultaneous release. It is currently dubbed as "Lemon Meringue Pie."

It appears that from the specs forecasted, the Nexus 6 will operate very smoothly.

When it comes to pricing, the Nexus 6 was predicted to cost $399, which makes it equally worth the iPhone 6's 128GB version.

Other features speculated by Android Police to come with the Nexus 6 include an aluminum frame, dual-flash ring configuration and compatibility with Motorola's turbo charger. The outlet mentioned Motorola's claim that charging the Moto X for 15 minutes powers it for 8 hours.

If Google follows the previous releases of the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, the Nexus 6 might come just in time for Halloween.
