Those looking to snag Google's new Nexus 6 smartphone through Verizon will have to wait a bit longer as it seems the carrier will release the handset sometime in mid-February.

According to a tipster to Phandroid who the website describes as "a reliable source that has provided Phandroid with accurate information in the past time and time again," insiders in Verizon have confirmed that Verizon customers will be able to pick up the Nexus 6 through their carrier in a little over a month. Verizon has not confirmed the release date, so be sure to take it with a grain of salt. Eager beavers can head over to the Google Play store and purchase a Nexus 6 there (although at press time all inventories seem to be out), and, unlike some previous Nexus models, the unlocked Nexus 6 comes with CDMA support so it will run on Verizon's network. All one has to do is insert an activated SIM card.

Pricing is unknown, although it's important to note that the 32GB Nexus 6 costs $649 while the 64GB Nexus 6 runs $699. For those who don't pay the full cost outright, Verizon will most likely offer an option with an upgrade or a new two-year contract for around $200.

The Motorola-manufactured Nexus 6 comes in two colors, Midnight Blue and Cloud White, and its 6-inch Quad HD display lands it squarely in "phablet" territory. Underneath the hood lies a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor clocked at 2.7GHz and 3GB of RAM. The 13-megapixel rear-facing camera features optical image stabilization and can take 4K video at 30 fps. The Nexus 6 comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop onboard, although users can upgrade to Android 5.0.1 immediately to fix some bugs.

Reviewers have noted that the Nexus 6 is a great smartphone and a great showcase for the new features in Android Lollipop. However, at 6 inches, the smartphone is huge -- so big that it is actually a turn-off to some. It's even bigger than rival phablets like the Apple iPhone 6 Plus (5.5 inches) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (5.7 inches).

"Just so I'm super clear: the only time you can really use this phablet one-handed is when you're just scrolling through a web page or an ebook with your thumb," reads The Verge's Nexus 6 review. "For everything else, accept that it's a phablet and you're going to use two hands."
