Google might release the Nexus 6 later this year or it could do so next year but the pure Android smartphone is said to be well worth the wait.

On Oct. 16, however, Google will reportedly set off the Nexus 8, Nexus 6 and Android 5 L release dates countdown.

Several reports claim the next Android announcement with be for the KitKat replacement Android 5.0. The mobile operating system name is still unconfirmed and subject for debate. Android L, Lion or Android Lemon Meringue Pie (LMP)?

Last week, a tweet claimed the upcoming Android will be unveiled on Oct. 16 and will power the Nexus 8.

Meanwhile, developer Paul O'Brien's tweet suggested the 8.9-inch tablet will be announced to the public soon. He didn't specifically say it but implied the upcoming Android will have a grand debut.

Of course, Google will unveil its flagship tablet by revealing the device's core functions and capabilities, including the new OS. There isn't any mention of a specific date in the tweet, however.

In 2013, Android 4.4 KitKat and the Nexus 5 were launched at the end of October and released two weeks later. It could be the same this year with a tandem of the Android L and Nexus 8 or Nexus 9. Nexus fans also expect Google to include the Nexus 6 with the package.

If rumors are correct, Nexus 6 or Nexus X will be a repurposed Moto X 2014 that could match the iPhone 6. Beyond the killer Nexus 6 specs, Google will equip the device with a killer OS to bring it to life. That's the Android L.

It could be an exciting Halloween if the two-week window period from launch to release date were to be applied, and Google will push the Nexus 8, Android L and Nexus 6 before the year ends.
