Ridiculous. Insanely ridiculous.

We get L so I'm stikcin wit my n5 just gonna find a blakc one with 32gb n ah crakced screen n be happy till da price drop
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
I would have loved if they also came out with a N5 2014 or named it a Nexus 6 and then named this Nexus 6 Ultra or something else with some of the specs of the N6 but the 5 in, or even 5.2 in screen, so that we have a better camera and other not so good things about the current N5 and with a price tag between the N5 and N6.

I'm just really surprised they jumped to a Phablet without providing a new smaller version to fix the issues with the N5.

Still love my N5 though but I was hoping for a new Nexus this year. At least we have Lollypop!
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
They did fix the issues of the n4/5 with the nexus 6. Many complained about the previous line of nexus devices not using premium components and specs, feeling cheap.

Unfortunately they didn't do the two sizes idea. Like Apple, Google should have released an updated 5.2 inch and a 5.9. Two versions would have been great rather than just forcing users to buy the nexus 6. But no one is forced really. You can still get the 5.

I'll be getting the 6 and if it's too big to use I'll send it back. I really hope the n6 feels premium, and I'm excited about the active display features.

Currency conversion never seems to be in our favour here in the EU, but it's funny how it always works when it's the other way around (a european device at 659€ would cost $829 in the US, but a $659 device would be 659€ in the EU). :silly:
[Nexus 6  General] SolarTrans:
Love my Moto X 2014—it's as close to a Nexus as a third party phone can get. If you think the N6 is too big, just pick up one of these. Problem solved ;)
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
One of the issues with the nexus 5 was the small screen, so they addressed that one pretty nicely.

get a moto x play if you want a smaller but equally awesome device
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
After all my *****ing yesterday about it, I'm considering buying one. The N5 I bought has 14 day returns so I might return it and get the N6. Only problem is resale value when I want to sell it next year.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Do all the cool voice and gesture features still work with custom Roms on the moto x? If so I'll probably get one too but I don't want to get one if flashing Roms takes away all the awesome features

[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
What a load of nonsense.

Does it have a huge battery? Yes. Does it have a 2k display? Yes. Does it support wireless charging out of the box? Yes. Is it gonna be dev friendly unlike the Moto x? Absolutely. Front stereo speakers? Check. (Props to kingston73) what about water resistance? Yeah the nexus 5 has all of those right?

The only phone that has implemented the finger print reader correctly is the iPhone. Unless you compare it to that then there's no comparison to be made, the Samsung version is crap, even though they improved it with the note 4 it does not even look nice to use and most users just turn it off. I prefer the knock code from LG, it's original at least. IR blaster would have been nice I'll give u that.

And you crying about a 64 bit SoC missing being the biggest "flaw".... Which one should they use? Those that aren't in production yet? I swear some of these posts are so retarded.

The nexus 6 does not bring anything new to the nexus 5? The battery alone is a major deal as the nexus 5 battery life is pretty subpar.
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
Don't forget the water resistance. Saying the n6 isn't an upgrade to the n5 is like saying a BMW isn't an upgrade to a Honda.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Wow I didn't even know it was water resistant. Can the nexus 5 do that? (Asking the morons who say it isn't an upgrade). What about the nice sounding stereo speakers on the nexus 5.... Where are they?
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
I forgot about the front facing stereo speakers.

The water resistance is listed on motorola's site. It doesn't go into detail or give an IP rating, it just says "water resistant - yes"

[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
did someone on XDA make a POLL on who will buy the nexus 6 ( only people who've owned the nexus4 or nexus 5 can vote) would be interesting to see the results

i would guess its very low, like 10% or less
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Nope. Make frequent trips to Canada & data roaming with Google maps is out of the question. So I use self contained app with maps on sd card. 64gb might work, though.
[Nexus 6  General] hugoprh:
So a bigger battery is worth 300$? 64bit CPU is in the nexus 9, the Exynos CPUs are also 64bit capable, there are more CPUs then Krait... 2k display, just a marketing prop, you can not see the difference, I had the G3 and it was actually making it slow, 1080p is just fine and all of the features you mentioned, does not justify the 300$ price increase, nexus 6 should be about making Android go forward, if you are a developer and need a phone that will help you make the next gen app, will you buy the Nexus 6? No, with it, you wont be able to make anything new, that the cheaper nexus 5 already does and this is my point... If you think more expensive is better, then keep your iPhobe 6...
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
If the camera is as good as it should be, and the screen doesn't blow(AMOLED... meh) I may consider it. Not stoked about paying $200 just to jump from my new G3 though.

The N6 has active display? Like the Moto X? Where did you read that?
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Disagree, Android doesn't need a developer phone anymore, it's here and it's here to stay.

personally I'm glad it's going more premium,

" you cannot see a difference " speak for yourself bub

Android software is what drives the platform forward, lollipop will do that, for people who want a premium nexus, this is it

Want a cheaper version? But the nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Face palm, something is wrong with you man seriously.

For the past 3 gen Google has opted for snapdragon SoCs. If they use the Nvidia SoC you will complaint that it's only dual core CPU...

Exynos on a nexus? Really? End of development.

2k a prop? Not at all, go see the note 3 next to the note 4, the difference is very noticeable.

If you are a developer, you know that Google has put the best specs in available at this moment. Development is not gonna stop cause you're angry that it doesn't have a 64 bit SoC that isn't currently available, developers know better.

The G3 lags cause it does not have the proper power behind it. Nexus 6 comes with the adreno 420 and kraits 450, it's gonna fly.

$300 more for double the storage at the base cost, bigger and better display, stereo speakers, water resistance, metal frame, bigger battery and overall just a more premium handset.

I'll tell you what, go buy a phone with similar specs (SoC, battery and all) at the same price... You can't cause it does not exists, this is the cheaper phone on the market for these specs. Dont be angry, think and realize that the price is justified.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
You nailed it. NOTHING with these specs for this price. The people that are complaining the most more than likely have 1 thing in common, they can't afford it and are pi$$ed! Get over it. If you want to complain about size, that's one thing. To complain about its cost is moronic. Its loaded.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Google has spoiled us with the past couple of nexi with great prices. But times change and tech is changing too. I mean the specs on the nexus 6 are the best you can get right now, they make the 6 plus look like an HTC evo 4G (I'm exaggerating but you see what I mean), all for $649 and ppl still complaint? That's just crazy to me.
[Nexus 6  General] mwedo:
This, this, this :good:

I have no idea why is so hard to use basic logic in case you're at least up to date with modern tech and smartphones.

"Whoo, Nexus 6 is sooo expensive, OMG. It's not Nexus' price anymore!" - well newsflash! It's not Nexus type hardware anymore as it's basically boosted to the max and ffs it's still cheaper than its competition (at least most of it).
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Did people really complain about the "small" screen on the N5?! That's crazy.

I looked at the MotoX2014 and it ends up being just $100 cheaper, i think at that cost I may as well go for the N6.

Any other basic reasons where the MotoX would be better than the N6 aside screen size?
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
You nailed it. I think it's a great price for what you're getting, and there is nothing else close to it on the market for that price. Like you said, the people complaining are just disillusioned because they were all excited to get a new Nexus but are now learning they can't afford it. Sucks to be them, but the crying got old real fast.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I agree that most of the negativity seems to be rationalization from people who can't afford it. I was surprised at the price myself, but it's still a great deal.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Was a little worried about performance and battery life seeing as this is running QHD at 5.9 inchs... but from the review from the galaxy note 4 .. running the same res at a slightly smaller screen it looks to be good

http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/15/s...note-4-review/

States performance was very good, and battery was excellent too.. good signs for the Nexus 6

"lthough the battery life was fantastic in last year's model, I came into the review concerned that a higher-resolution display and faster chipset would actually cause a decrease in the phone's longevity. Fortunately, it exceeded my expectations. After heavy use throughout the day, I typically went to bed with around 20 percent left over. This is assuring for power users who need a full day of battery life without compromises, "

really hope thats the same case here.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
My thought process too, the Moto x 2014 is only a $100 cheaper but will have little to no development. I would have preferred it screen size but I don't mind settling with the 6 inch nexus 6, I owned a G Flex before. The nexus 6 pricing makes total sense from every point you look at. Imagine Google and Motorola offering that phone for $349, what happens to the Moto X 2014 then? Collecting dust on shelves lol
[Nexus 6  General] fahadsul3man:
LOL WOT , what great prices ? try telling that to folks in 70 % of the world where they dont get the subsidized prices from google

[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
I don’t think they did complain, but for me its an issue. with the nexus 6, like google invaded my brain, saw this, and made it real. I cant believe how awesome it is that they have made a 6" nexus phone, and its a premium beast
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I was reading this article here :

http://www.idigitaltimes.com/nexus...-everything-you-need-know-about-newly-390146

Under the features section. It should be using a new amoled display and those support active display so as long as it's implemented in the software it should work.
[Nexus 6  General] GaSpartacus:
Amen to that...google seems to only care really about US market...

I wish i could buy the N6 but if it sells for 649 euros here in Portugal that´s more than our minimal wage, so u can see why i´m not buying it
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
When I first got the N5 I thought the screen was too big... Now it seems small. Funny how things change like that.
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
I've used 8" tablets as phones... this shamu will be a breath of fresh air to be able to get a phone comfortably in my pocket
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
That was just speculation, Google/Motorola never announced it as a feature of the N6 as far as I know. Yeah AMOLED supports it, but Active Display is a Motorola feature so unless Google decides to take a cue, which I doubt they will, we will have to rely on 3rd party developers to give us something similar.

2. Front facing stereo speakers. Portrait orientation, or landscape?

I tried to open it in my Chrome cache but it is blank now. All I remember was that he said it had display and gesture features the same as the Moto X.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:

Buy a Chevy Tahoe.

Nah it's too big!

How about a BMW x5?

Damn those are nice! I want that! Expensive though.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
If the Tahoe doesn't fit into your garage, but the BMW does, would you still get the Tahoe? Don't know about you, can't have a nice new shiny thing being exposed to the elements.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I'm just saying both are big but the BMW has all the bells and whistles that makes me what it but it's pricey.

OnePlus vs nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] Nordstrøm:
It's a transition...

The size thing is nothing new as it happens once every generation.

We all remember the sensation when using our first smartphone sized 3.5" and learning of a 4.7" device.

Just because or pants don't fit doesnt mean we can't.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Better yet you can go today to an AT&T store and get your hands on a lumia 1520. The nexus 6 is a little bit less tall and a little bit narrower but slightly thicker. That can give ppl an idea of the size.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Thanks for that I think I will go do that. I'm getting a nexus 6 just can't decide if I should pre order the 32 or 64gb. I think I can work with 32gb but 64 is always nicer to have and better resale value.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
You're welcome. Also keep in mind that the nexus also has rounded corned vs the sharp squared corners of the lumia 1520.

Yeah 64 gig will definitely be easier to sell.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
I have a G3 at the moment and it's about as big as a device as I can comfortably use. Anything larger will either stab you in the hip while sitting (in your pocket), or just not fit into a pocket what so ever.

I think right now the only reasonable comparison is the G3 vs Nexus 6, pretty soon the Note 4 vs Nexus 6 will be pretty big.

Oh I remember this, I've had Android since the MyTouch 3g, been stepping up since then. One handed use isn't really a requirement for me, but I'd like to be able to pull down the notification bar with my thumb if I choose to. The G3 is pushing the limits for me.

I have a Nexus 5 I'm refurbishing so I'll probably just use that to try out L.

Will the Nexus 6 do Slow Motion recording?

I'm really curious if the Nexus 6 will do slow motion recording. I haven't been able find anything on the subject.

Out of curiosity, did any website ever do a tear down of the Nexus 5 AND estimate the cost for the parts of the phone? I saw Ifixit's teardown but I couldn't find an estimated cost. Wasn't it suspected that the nexus 5 was sold at or near parts cost? I would be interested to see if the Nexus 6 is sold at cost. I suspect it is not.

[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
M8 is a solid all around phone, I am sure the sound quality will be better than moto because of boomsound. Also the ability to switch between GPE/Sense and even miui(issues last I flashed) and Cm based. Really the only downside is the camera but I still take decent pictures and I believe it's low light capabilities is underestimated.

With the way phones are financed I don't see the as being a bug hurdle. Go to T-Mobile put $350 down(obviously the ones gripping were willing to pay this much to buy it out right) then make more than minimum payments. Phone is paid off in a couple months and you have a fully paid off phone with a cheap plan.

Or you can do jump(or equivalent depending on carrier) and pay an extra $10 on top of your payments and you can get a new phone in 6 months. M9 comes out get it, sgs6 comes out get it. G4 etc.

Obviously google is trying to make money (god forbid they do that) and carrier support is the way to go
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
JUMP/TMmob are all tricks, you're paying full price for the phone which is 650. If you pay 350 now and rest in installments doesn't make it cheaper.

The carriers want a higher price for profit. Google wants profit. Meanwhile Oppo and lots of Chinese oem's can make phones with same components for 1/2 the price.
[Nexus 6  General] danarama:
Even though its o my twice the cost of the N5 with more expensive hardware?

Theres a mark up, sure not not 3 times.
[Nexus 6  General] DaRkRaGe:
M8 is brilliant and believe me because i own one, the camera is not bad at all. The front facing is phenomenon for selfies and video chat and the back facing is awesome for pictures. I totally disagree with people stating that the ultra pixel technology is inferior to megapixel.
[Nexus 6  General] GaSpartacus:
i´ll just leave this here http://www.zdnet.com/teardown-estim...o-make-iphone-6-plus-just-15-more-7000033998/.

N6 is clearly an improvement from N5 but the N5 at his prime still had top specs. I don´t believe this N6 costs more than 50$ to manufacture than the N5.
[Nexus 6  General] loplo:
Google "lost money" selling N4/5 so cheap, and now they have to fill the hole.

+ I hate the US/EU price conversion. If something is priced 650USD, in Europpe will cost 650EUR. That sucks BIG time.

I was hoping to make the step from N4 to N6, but I have a bad feeling about this.
[Nexus 6  General] Wbroshea:
I agree with this. N5 was top notch at release. N6 is better now. Just like G4, S6 and M9 will be better, spec wise, when released.

As far as a better value, I doubt the N6 at its release could touch the N5 at its release. Might still not be able to. :p
