Looks like Google may be testing the latest Android O preview on the ageing Motorola Nexus 6. The device was spotted running the Android O preview on Google Git. Although, don’t get too excited.
Google does this all the time. They test older devices to see if they can run the latest and greatest Android version. Sometimes the devices get lucky, and sometimes they don’t. Could be the same case with the Nexus 6.

The Nexus 6 was also spotted running the Android 7.1.2 Nougat software. However, Google released the software and ended up not supporting this device. Most likely, this is just a test, and will remain that.
The search giant had also recently announced that the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 will not get any more software updates after Android 7.1.1. A similar thing happened with the Nexus 5 as well, where the device was spotted running Android Nougat, but never got the update.
