I wouldn't pay much attention to an article which claims a 5.2" Nexus will be called the Nexus 6.
Nexus devices are named after the size of the screen, and whichever way you roll your numbers, 5.2" is not 6".
If it's 5.2" it will be the Nexus 5 2014. If it's 5.9" it will be called the Nexus 6. If you believe some rumours there will be both.
I'm guessing you never owned a Nexus One?
it obviously had a 1" screen haha

LOL, no.
But the last 2 Nexus phones and the tablets have adopted this policy - I'm not saying it won't change, but I've seen no indication of it. People are seemingly just referring to it as Nexus 6 as 6 follows 5 - perhaps that's even snowballed into the 6" Nexus rumours due to a loss in translation?

The iteration name/number of the phone has nothing to do with the screen size.
You could argue that until you think about the two Nexus 7's and the Nexus 10, surely?
The Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 are not phones.
The N5 has a 5 inch screen?
So all Nexus devices after the N4 have used the number corresponding to it's screen size, therefore it seems like a sensible assumption to say if it's going to be the N6 it'll probably have a 6 inch screen and you just appear to be being a **** for the sake of it.

please stop. useless email thread updates
Thank you. It did seem quite odd you thought they would have a different naming convention for tablets to phones, with them both using numbers. One the sequence, one the size. That would be odd.
I'm not saying it's not possible, just that it would be odd. They released the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 at the same time, all of which the numbers matched the screen size.
They may well bring out a Nexus 6 with a 5" screen though, it would just be odd. We'll see.
Boooo
Let us argue
