Nexus 6 Will Release Soon For Verizon Subscribers

The Nexus 6 will be made available to Verizon subscribers the soonest, according to Verizon's website.

Back in October, Google had confirmed that Nexus 6 will be headed to all major US carriers, which included Verizon Wireless. This will be the first Nexus smartphone that will be offered by Verizon in years. But ever since that day, we have yet to hear news from Google or the carrier of the release date, not until recently where new details have emerged.

According to Gottabemobile.com, Google's impressive Android 5.0 Lollipop powered Nexus 6 has been available in the United States since November after being unveiled as a device coming to all US carriers, but it is still unavailable on Verizon. A rumor in early January said it was coming in mid-February, and today a new leak has surfaced potentially revealing the Verizon Nexus 6 release date.

As of today the Nexus 6 is available from Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile and US Cellular, with one major and extremely important carrier holding out. Verizon will also offer the Nexus 6, at least according to Google back in October, but absolutely no release date details have arrived. The first break into cracking the release date was seen earlier this week wherein Verizon had added the Nexus 6 to its website, and says it's coming soon.

Last week, a new image surfaced revealing the Verizon Nexus 6 complete with the carrier branding all over the device. Most Verizon phones have the carrier branding, but Nexus devices usually don't get this treatment. It's worth noting the AT&T Nexus 6 has an AT&T logo too, as well as some minor carrier bloat ware that can be uninstalled.

Carrier branding and logos aside, many prospective Nexus 6 buyers have eagerly been waiting for the smartphone to finally be released on Verizon Wireless. The Nexus 6 is expensive, costing $649 or $699 for the 64GB version, so getting it on contract has been something many are waiting for, and it looks like the wait is almost over with a release coming at the end of February.
