I am loving the size on the Nexus 6 and do not mind the price at all. I was rocking a Lumia 1520 and loved the screen size - the Nexus 6 is a smaller footprint so it should be even nicer in the hand than the 1520 was. My brother had an HTC One Max and that was very nice, although a little heavy.

As for price, I am fine with it, as long as it means the quality is a bit better. I had the Nexus One, S and Galaxy all paid at full retail ($600+) and had ZERO problems with them. My first Nexus 4 had a bad speaker and had to RMA it and my first two Nexus 5's had issues and had to RMA them. The 3rd Nexus 5 had a yellow screen tint and some light bleed, but I could deal with that.

It is my belief that Google wants to get the Nexus brand out there more and there is NO WAY the carriers would have sold the Nexus 6 AT COST! Don't know about you all but 8 out of 10 phones I see out in public are either iPhones or Samsungs. Rarely do I see an HTC, LG, Motorola, etc and I think Google wants to change that. It would also be my guess we will see nice Google Nexus displays/kiosks in the carrier stores (a-la like iPhone). Also I have sneaky suspicion that by making the Nexus 6 a phablet they could better justify the higher price tag.

As for some of the chinese OEMs: One+ and Xiaomi they are trying to make a name for themselves and the way to do that is offering product below the price of the competitors. I do not count Oppo cause the Find 7 and 7a are priced $500-$600 - they are making money on those. If One+ wants to grow I bet there will be a price bump on their next handset and I am sure people will complain about it. You CAN NOT grow a company if you have little to no profit, it is simple economics. - unless they have a "secret investor" pumping money into them?!?!

Just my 2 cents...
[Nexus 6  General] Infekxion:
*This* Let's compare the N6 to the Note 4. Which from what I've seen is somewhere around $850 off contract. If I want a big amoled screen I have to pay $200 more for a stylus and two sensors I'll never use? No thanks. I think Google and is being generous with the price.

Keyword, "Chinese". Nexus 6 is assembled in USA. It costs a lot more for labor here. No one seems to factor that in. The build quality, in photos, looks amazing.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Would the opo be $350 if it was offered on all major carriers? I think not. Its just a good, cheap smartphone.
[Nexus 6  General] :
What's this about carrier versions getting 64gb versions for $50 cheaper? Is it true?

Will the community be split up like Carrier Samsung phones or will we be able to cross flash without issues?
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Who cares if its made in the US vs China? I'm not one of those naive people who think the economy is that simple. Just because its 'Chinese' doesn't mean low quality or in any way less desirable, otherwise I'd have to get rid of most of my electronics and household items and so would everyone else.

The fact that Google and the carriers want more profit and won't sell a phone near cost isn't a good thing, its bad for consumers. Google has the power to tell the carriers to carry the phone at a cheaper price, but they don't want to.

Except it's not, Motorola's last smartphone factory in Texas closed in May this year (which was the only smartphone factory in the US):

Motorola smartphone production then moved to China/Brazil factories.
[Nexus 6  General] ChazzMatt:
Totally not true. Not made in the United States. Stop making stuff up. :)

Motorola's American dream is over

http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/30/5764836/motorola-shutting-down-us-assembly-plant

And even if it were true I'm not paying "extra" for making an electronic device in a certain country.

Motorola learned their lesson last year, when they tried to charge $600 for their 4.7" 720p Moto X dual core CPU smartphone at the SAME time the awesome 5.2" 1080p LG G2 (with Snapdragon 800) was released, for the SAME price. If you had $600, which would you buy? They had to run frequent "sales" and slash the Moto X price down to the mid-tier level, because it had mid-tier specs.

For the 2014 Moto X , they went full HD, went to quad core Snapdragon, and went to China and Brazil. :) (Ironically the specs of the 2014 Moto X are almost an exact copy of the 2013 LG G2 specs, except for the slight upgrade from Snapdragon 800 to 801.)

Apparently only Apple iSheep are stupid enough to pay $600 for a 4.7" "720p" smartphone. And yes 760p is still in the "720p" category. NOT full HD.

But NO Moto phones are now made in the USA.
[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
I decided to get 64gb white nexus 6 instead of Droid Turbo. I will happilly pay a small fortune 700$ for it cause it is worth it. It is a motorola made nexus after all, not samsung nor LG. It is the first nexus with premium build quality and top specs. I can't cry for the price cause good stuff costs more.
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
Has anyone found any info on whether or not the Nexus 6 will feature the same antenna technology as the moto x 2014?

That's what I'm getting also. I just hope the pre-order page doesn't crash or sell out so I can get my order in.
[Nexus 6  General] ChazzMatt:
Not about the price, it's about the stupid SIZE. I'm waiting for the Pure Edition (straight from Motorola) of the "Moto X Play" (AT&T version of the "Droid Turbo"). It was the phone almost released as the 5.2" Nexus 6. We saw benchmarks for the 5.2" Nexus back in mid-August.

Unlockable bootloader, no carrier branding, no bloatware.

And it'll be premium build and all that other stuff. So, no I won't save any money. BUT I will get the phone I want. :p

5.2"

3G RAM

Snapdragon 805

Wirelesss charging

[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea its suppose to be the same price if not a little less. But I'm just not sold on its looks.

[Nexus 6  General] VOLTAGEROCK:
Instead of all of these negative/positive opinions which put some people on edge for some reason, can't we just do a poll as of right now asking everyone associated with this thread who in fact will buy this phone?

Put me down for an absolute no. I will not but this at all no matter what.

But obviously we need to create a poll thread.

[Nexus 6  General] ChazzMatt:
I've owned two Nexus phones (gen3 Galaxy Nexus, and gen5 Nexus 5) and my wife has owned the same two models, so that's FOUR Nexus phones we bought since 2012. Plus, we bought the gen1 2012 Nexus 7 we still have.

So, I'm a Nexus fan, OK? :D

But I hope this Nexus 6 FAILS miserably in sales. Because Google should have listened to us and given us a reasonable alternative. Anything bigger than the LG G3 is just too big to use as a phone.

And ironically I was the one hoping the Nexus 5 would be as big as the 5.2" LG G2!I wish the Nexus 5 display was a little larger!

But this Nexus 6 is just too big, and I hope Google learns a lesson. We KNOW they were testing the 5.2" along with the 5.9". I'm sure they did some consumer surveys. But it's like Microsoft trying to cram Windows 8 down our throats. They just wouldn't LISTEN.

I had two friends (married couple) waiting for the Nexus 6, because I told them how awesome the Nexus 5 is... They both have the LG Optimus G (which the Nexus 4 was based on). They wanted a bigger phone, now that their 2 year contract is up. But they agree the Nexus 6 is just TOO big. So, instead they're going to buy the LG G3 because Google screwed up.
[Nexus 6  General] VOLTAGEROCK:
See, this is just your opinion so no one should bash you.

I want to see a failure as well but I don't at the same time because I love Google!

I understand your points completely though.

[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
Yup I'm one of those pissed off nex4 n5 owner that the price hiked up too much.. I love the top knot specs and compared to the iPhone 6 no contest but in my mind its still expensive for being a Nexus device
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
for the people wishing google will fail with this device it probably won't

as a matter of fact this probably will be the nexus that will sell the most, because it will be in every US carrier brick an mortar store, where most people buy their phones, often subsidized on contract, so less sticker shock

also 6 months down the line, among the nexus 6, the note 4 and the ipotato 6+ who will be the one who get a discount in said brick and mortar stores, you got it, it will be the nexus 6

Google made a calculated trade off. jacking up the price, so it would not undercut carrier device sales, in return the nexus will get massive exposure since it will be sold everywhere
[Nexus 6  General] ChazzMatt:
it's not about the price, it's more about the size. So, even if it's in 1,000,000 stores I hope it doesn't sell. And next time Google will listen to us. Google should have done a Nexus 6 based on the LG G3. Or at least a Nexus 6 no bigger than the LG G3 (even if Motorola couldn't cram a 5.5" 1440p display into a frame that size like LG can).

A phone the frame size of the LG G3 or a hair smaller. Cram as BIG a display as you can into that.
[Nexus 6  General] NWNJ:
And then there are people like me on the other end of this that absolutely want the BIGGEST phone we can fit in our pocket, and one that is unlocked or unlockable on all carriers. I would have never even considered this phone had it not been for the wonderfully huge size of this phone and the fact that it will be unlocked or unlockable. I will be buying this phone over the Note 4 and I could never have even imagined I would have ever said this. The fact that this phone is absolutely gorgeous on top of it is the icing on the cake. And for those of you complaining about the price, I really don't get it. I find the price to be an absolute bargain, considering what you get with this phone. I never used that stupid pen that comes with the Note in the first place.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I was up in the air about it, but after going to AT&T and looking at some comparably sized phones I decided that it will be just way too big to be practical. Even the OnePlus One was too big for me so there is no way I can comfortably use a 6" Nexus. I ended up pulling the trigger on a 2014 Moto X Pure Edition the other day and am happy with my decision. The X is every bit as good as a Nexus device, not to mention the added features that come from Motorola that make it even better. The only problem is there won't be nearly as much development for it, but I don't really care because I got over the need to constantly flash ROMs a couple years ago. Both my current Moto X and my Nexus 5 are running stock with just a few Xposed tweaks. This day and age that's all you need.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I too was at Wal-Mart last night looking at the Verizon phones. I saw a Samsung mega and that's 6.3 inches. Way too big and uncomfortable. They also had the note 4 and that seemed better. The n6 is a bit bigger, a few mm it seems. Looking at that video I posted a few pages back only the screen seems larger but with both phones sitting on top of each other, the nexus is a bit taller.

Have you checked out the lumia 1520? The nexus is suppose to be a little shorter and narrower.

I'm going to buy one and see how it is in person. Returning it to Google won't be a hassle like one plus. Besides I still have my m7 on Verizon so if I don't like it I'm not going to switch carriers with the unlocked nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I'm buying it. Love the specs and size, price doesn't bother me. Lollipop running great on my n5 right now, will be awesome on that bigger, faster phone
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
a smaller nexus would be redundant in Motorola's portfolio, that's moto x's spot [emoji4]

have you checked a moto x's live display in a store? I have, is bare bone vanilla android with a couple of very nice moto features (active display/always listening), fast updates straight from google and a developer edition with unlockable bootloader

if you are dead set against a large phablet a moto x could be a

viable option
[Nexus 6  General] cdmoore74:
At least you had a N4 and N5. Us Verizon folks got screwed.

I don't mind paying a premium price as long as they give me premium features. I just wish Google would realize that people still want SD cards and removable batteries. That being said I'm still leaning towards the Note 4. I got so use to not charging my phone by replacing the battery as it gets low. And I doubt the screen would be better than the Note.

But if you ask me percentage wise between the Note 4 and Nexus 6 I would say:

51% to Note 4

49% to Nexus 6

On one hand I love the unlocked bootloader but on the other hand I'm less productive when I crackflash. And being only one model in the US we could see a Rom being released on a daily basis. I could never stick to one Rom. It got so bad with my OG Nexus I was flashing in the malls and at work.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I checked out the 1520 and the Note 4. Both were too big for me. I'm sure eventually I'll buy the N6 just to tinker with, but for now the 2014 Moto X is gonna be my new Android daily driver. I can't wait to get it.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I was about to buy the 2nd gen moto x and switch to metro a week ago. It fits in the hand perfectly and build quality is nice. I do like the active display and if the n6 wasn't coming out that's what I would have bought too.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
I have a horrible suspicion that the only reason its 6" is so it can be called Nexus 6.

The G3, S5 etc can all have >6" screens if the bezel is reduced. To be honest I wish Motorola had some of LG's engineering expertise and were able to reduce bezels even more. I'd also gladly give up front speakers for speakers on the bottom, not back. They sound just as loud and can be stereo too.

Sinc I have bad eyes bigger is always better imo… I like note4 design better… don't like rounded corners

[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah when it was first announced I didn't have much interest in it but I went into AT&T out of boredom and checked it out and was straight up blown away by how nice it is. Best in hand feel of any smartphone I've ever held, superb build quality, beautifully elegant aesthetics... and a software experience that improves upon last years X, which is a feat in and of itself. I'm going to cherish it when I get it. It is hands down the nicest smartphone I've ever used, just the same as last years X. I hope the X line is here to stay because if it is, then I'll be buying a new one every year.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
So for several years nexus owners longing for a phablet had to either deal with what they perceive as a small cramped phone or settle for other OEM branded phones like the note. Now they finally have a phone comfortable to them and people act like how dare they alienate us who want a "reasonable" size screen. Get over yourself let the phab lovers have their turn at a Nexus.

There are many 5 inch phones which have stock android or close to it. Pretty much any Motorola, HTC one m8/m7 GPE and of course Nexus 4/5./

In the case of nexus 4 or m7 you may have to buy em used but they are still being supported which is why I mentioned it. The one m8 and m7 may have to be converted if you buy a carrier branded which is easy for most of us on here.

To those complaining that nexus 6 has better specs, that's how it is in the phab world. Compare note to galaxy s. Note always had better specs.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
How is the performance on it? Did you get the pure edition because I wouldn't like the carrier editions to have bloat on it. For example on the Verizon model, the boot loader is locked.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I got the Pure Edition. With an unlockable bootloader and zero carrier bloatware it was a no brainer. I don't have mine yet, ordered it on Friday so it should be here sometime this week, but from the time I spent with it I was thoroughly impressed by its performance. It is the fastest phone I've ever used, and it is silky smooth without any trace of lag or stuttering. All the reviews I've read have been overwhelmingly positive in regards to performance, and my buddy just got his (he's just as obsessed with smartphones as I am) and he says it's the fastest phone he's ever used, and he also agrees with me about it being the all around nicest smartphone ever made. We are both coming from Nexus 5s.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Heck, what I really want is a 128gb Nexus 7 tab that can also make phone calls. I'm hoping the N6 is big enough that I won't need both a phone AND a tablet. Convergence!

I am pretty much settled on Verizon N6 as I want unlockable bootloader and keep my unlimited data.

There is already a big poll thread on Reddit. So far nearly 2500 responses, keep in mind that /r/Android is full of Google fanatics, so this is quite sobering.

Results: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mL...lhMT4pynNPh3BY/viewanalytics?usp=form_confirm

So far, YES BUYING is 15%, and NO DEFINITELY NOT is 58% (with main complaints being size and price, as expected), doesn't look too good. But this is a big change of direction for Nexus, so we'll have to see if it works out, maybe the non-enthusiasts will buy it up.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
I think moto made a 6 inch device because google told them too
[Nexus 6  General] mezo91:
If they made nexus 6 5 inches no one will look at moto x amd will go for the nexus device of course. But now with the nexus 6 is a 6 inch who want 6 inch will buy it and who want 5 inch will go to moto x.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
It's a MotoMaker option. The Pure Edition is sim unlocked, bloatware free, and has an unlockable bootloader.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
You can go to Motorola website and configure the moto x the way you want. Towards the end you get to choose carrier unlocked for att or tmobile or Verizon / Sprint. The unlocked one is the pure edition. Almost ordered one myself but I want 64 gb.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah 64gb would have been nice (my 128gb iPhone 6 only has 20gb free) but I was able to make 32gb work for me with both the Nexus 5 and last years Moto X so I'll manage.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I can make 32 work pretty well too. It's nice to have 64 for resale and extra room. I think what I will do now is wait and order the nexus 6. See how it feels and how it operates before activating it.

I hope that I can order it as in one phone that works on all carriers since it has all the band's. I wonder if at check out it will ask what carrier or unlocked. Because if it's one device for all, I could keep Verizon unlimited data and would not need to switch to metro pcs.

If it turns out too big for me then I'll send it back and Moto x will be my choice, pure and I'll take that to metro to save some money since I have an account with them for my mother.

I really think that this is what Google is counting on. The Nexus 6 will have way more exposure being subsidized by all carriers. More people who never considered Nexus before will now consider them since they can buy it subsidized. I predict this will be the best selling Nexus phone ever.
[Nexus 6  General] mwedo:
There's literally no chance that Nexus 6 will flop. There's/will be good, if not great, carriers coverage and with that it's going mainstream. Come on, it's Moto and Google together. Not that budget for marketing is an issue.

This right here. I've been hoping for a Moto-built Nexus for a very long time. Motorola makes the best hardware, hands-down.
