Leaked Google Slides Confirm Massive 3450mAh Battery, Metal Unibody For Flagship Nexus 6P

It looks as though Google just can’t catch it break when it comes to leaks for its upcoming Nexus flagship smartphones. The company was hoping to surprise everyone during its September 29th keynote, but eager tech enthusiasts have been treated to just about all of Google’s Marshmallow secrets ahead of time.

The latest leak comes courtesy of a leaked Google slide presentation which spills all the beans on the 5.7-inch Nexus 6P. The slides go into incredible detail on the flagship Marshmallow smartphone, revealing that this will be Google’s “first all-metal Nexus flagship smartphone.”

Powering the Nexus 6P is a new revision of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 process (v2.1), which was first seen in the OnePlus 2 and a 5.7-inch WQHD display that is covered in Gorilla Glass 4. The 6.28-ounce Nexus 6P also comes with dual, front-mounted speakers, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a USB-C connector which promises “faster charging and quicker data transfers rates.”

But perhaps one of its most impressive specs is its internal battery, which is rated at 3,450 mAh. To put that in perspective, the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Nexus 6, and iPhone 6S Plus have battery capacities of 3,000 mAh, 3,000 mAh, 3,200 mAh, and 2,750 mAh respectively. The massive battery puts it in the same company as the upcoming Verizon DROID Maxx 2, which is expected to feature a 3,630 mAh battery.

The Android 6.0 Marshmallow smartphone is expected to be available with up to 128GB of internal storage and will come in four different colors: white, black, gold, and silver. As for pricing, we’ll have to wait until Tuesday to see how much damage the device will do to your wallet.
