[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kal-El7:
I sort of feel you on this one, too....for $50 MORE I get an S-Pen ONLY and possibly a better camera 'hardware' quality. That's it. Android Lollipop doesn't count cuz it'll still be TouchWiz Android. I seen Android L on the S5 and, although it behaves more nicely, TouchWiz will still be heavily present. Then, I get expandable storage (I don't call it memory).

With Nexus 6, I lose expandable storage but I get an additional 32GB internally (to 64GB) with that is negated on N4.This one is a bit of a tough pill for me to swallow, but may be negotiable to me.

Then, I would not only get Android Lollipop, but even more importantly I would get Android in its 'vanilla' state, which is more worth it to me for many various reasons. But as for both 'Floating' and 'Multi' windows, you can get that in full effect on Nexus (refer to here: http://youtu.be/5UgUwCzO8qU). So the one THUNDER that Note has now no longer has this thunder exclusively. I used the method in this video and it was BUTTER smooth.

This leaves just the S-Pen. So it's not only that for $50 more I could get an S-Pen, it's that for an another whole $750 I get almost much the SAME that I already have in my Note 3, so you can look at just the $50 difference in features between N4 & N6 or you can look at the whole $750 deliberation comparing N4 to the previous N3.

Since I'm keeping my N3, then I'm forced to look at what am I getting for the whole 9 yards of $750, not just the $50 difference between N4 and N6.

On this basis alone, I NEED to experience the vanilla'ness of Android in its native environment, as I've never had this before. I could potentially see Tweaked on Nexus (just an example) and not worry about breaking anything in Tweaked if I wanted to mix in some other people's work who aren't working with dwitherell. I could try THEMES from an ocean of choices and since Tweaked would be based on the overall Android Lollipop platform, Dwitherell wouldn't always have to work so hard all the time. He could take a break if he needed and I could still mix-n-match and not threaten to break anything because most Nexus-based mods/tweaks are cross-compatible. To me.....exposing myself to this new massive sea of flexibility is not only just new, not only just enticing, but this option is just flat out entirely worth a brand new $700 (Nexus price) investment all together, irrespective of an S-Pen being present or not.

If already so many people are griping (rightfully so) that they are underwhelmed with the N4 this season because not enough "different" was brought to the table, then justify that argument by genuinely chasing after "different" then. So, for me, Nexus is "different". VANILLA-Android (regardless of Lollipop or Popcorn or Skittles or Snickers, etc) is different. Mixing mods from other people's works and still have it all play relatively nice is "different" irrespective of worrying about "TouchWiz" or "Sense", frameworks.

If I, out of $750, can justify and attribute $50 to a digital pen, then how do I justify the rest of the $700? Multi/Floating Window is no longer a viable argument (in my humble opinion), this can be recreated on Nexus and smoothly. Expandable storage is the only other area where I can think of that may be the only respectable argument because, at this point in this day in age, a non-SDCard phone (like iPhone) should offer 128GB. Apple did. Shame on Nexus.

You get another 6 hours of use on Nexus with just a 15 minute charge.

N4 has a better camera, N6 is waterproof, N4 can come in the fashion of Note "Edge" (for being 'different'), N6 can charge its battery wirelessly.

I agree with [MENTION=4190053]mscion[/MENTION]. N4 is definitely an overall better phone, hands down. But another small part of me also agrees with my sermon above as well.

So, Sony Xperia it is, for me. lol
