Conflicts with every other source of information we have, the renders (which show a non removable back and no SD slot), and the entire strategy of Nexus devices, Android, hell the entire smartphone marketplace in general!

Not to mention it places massive questions over why they have a 128GB version.

We shall see...

It makes sense actually, since Marshmallow makes native use of SD cards. The SD card slot could be in the sim card tray too hence why none of the leaked images show an obvious SD slot.

Edit*

The good bit of native implementation:

The Micro SD support implemented into Android M is called Adoptable Storage Devices. It allows smartphones to “adopt” a Micro SD card and through formatting and encryption, use the external storage as if it was the internal storage built in to a smartphone. This ability allows users to transfer data between their devices and their Micro SD card and even allows them to store applications on a Micro SD.

The downside being:

However, Google made sure to indicate that these permissions are merely a compromise. Once a user installs a Micro SD card into their device and it is formatted and encrypted according to that device, they cannot use that Micro SD card on any other device. Luckily, most Micro SD cards are inexpensive.

Though tbh, not too much of a downside, just transfer the data over USB 3 to PC before upgrading phone, re-format and re-auth to new phone then transfer back on new phone.
