Yeah, I would pay more...but not this much more. If this were $500 or $550, I would jump on it in a heartbeat. But $650 is 'um...is this worth it?' territory. Now it may end up being worth it, but it's just a shock to see it at this price point. You have to ask, is it really $300 more/better than the Nexus 5? I don't know.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
for 24 months so still $649. I don't need 64GB, I have 32 with the N5 and i barely used 1/4. I'd rather pay it all up front than to do the payment plan with T-Mobile anyway.

Still, I'm just hoping the $649 is the carrier's costs, not Google Play cost, if they will even sell through Google Play this time.
[Nexus 6  General] 350Rocket:
Even my Nexus 5 is too big for my girlfriends hands. She used it for a week after her iPhone 4s died and couldn't deal with the size. Other than that she was happy so I got her a used moto x and now she's happy and no longer an apple lover. :)
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
I am assuming Google really wanted the nexus to be pushed by carriers and the carriers(specifically Verizon) was not to stoked about Google undercutting Verizon by a couple hundred dollars. In any case I don't think the price is bad (I don't think it's good either) in 2015 we might see a phablet revolution where 5.5 is the minimum. I suspect a 7 inch phone will be released in 2015-2016. This would definitely cannibalize the small tablet market but who cares. Why have 2 devices? Or if you must have 2 why not buy a 10 inch tablet.
[Nexus 6  General] 350Rocket:
The old moto x my girlfriend has now feels really nice. I would be happy with either it or my Nexus 5 honestly. Good points in both. Pretty sure if I switched I would miss the nexus eventually though. It is noticeable faster opening apps.

So carrier cost $649 for 64gb but the same price unlocked from the play store only gives you 32gb ? Odd..I'm getting an unlocked one anyway.

[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I got N10 refurbished a year ago and in tablets which dont have to be pocketable or operate one-handed, bigger is better apart from traveling compact like on a flight, The N7 has 29% bezel, the Gpad has 19% bezel, so I bought Gpad 8.3 $199 new + $30 64SD card and sold my N7 for $170, the tablet is only 8.5% taller, 11% wider and yet 19% bigger screen. I use N10 in house and Gpad 8.3 when out.

The Samsung Tab Pro is better, Tab S even better but not yet CM and still pricey.
[Nexus 6  General] jackal2001:
N6 is a full 3/4" taller than a GS5. No thanks. Too big.
[Nexus 6  General] Techngro:
I guess for some people it will be worth the price. But considering how I use my phone, there's no way 64GB without a MicroSD is going to work for me. And that really doesn't have anything to do with the price itself, because even if it were $500, it still wouldn't work for me without expandable storage. I really wish Google would rethink that strategy.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
What phone are you on now?
[Nexus 6  General] scottharris4:
Try holding up a tablet to your face to talk into. 1) It's precarious 2) wouldn't take long for the arm to get tired 3) you look like a moron doing it and 4) once people realize all of this, they'll start putting all their calls over the loud speaker and annoy the hell out of everyone. Plus you know there is the whole lack of pocketability deal. I have an 8.4 inch tablet, no way can that fit in my pockets.
[Nexus 6  General] Clay:
I was ready to buy the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9. Hard to believe Google could get BOTH so wrong that I will not purchase either. I have had the past 3 Nexus phones and the Nexus 10. This is upsetting. I look forward to a new phone every year and here I sit with no new Nexus phone in my future.
[Nexus 6  General] scottharris4:
Get the Moto X then
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Too big

Too expensive

End-of-line 32bit

I think OnePlus will have to increase production capacity again for the OnePlusTwo, as we were all thinking it was N5, then OPO, then N6 to hold the spec/price baton.
[Nexus 6  General] DrunkFuX666:
One can't say the price is unjustified for such high end specs, but the simple fact that the reason why the Galaxy Nexus failed miserably and the Nexus 4 & 5 skyrocketed was the subsidized price.

Not only is this a giant phone, but if one can get a phone with more thing for the same price or slightly more, I think people will Go for that instead.

I'm actually considering getting the moto x 2014 now... Its almost the same thing for much less... And moto software support had been incredible

I have an old TI-81 scientific calculator laying around. It is almost the same dimensions, just about 3/8" longer. Same width. Looks like a brick in my front pocket. Fits in my back jeans pocket but sticks out about an inch.

Looks like I'll wait to see the next GS6. What a bummer Google.

why is everyone complaining about price?!?!?!?!? how come no one complains when htc samdung and others charge this much? apple has being doing it for years. they are just now giving 2012 tech. and charging 100 dollars more! i for one dont mind paying this price. for a premium ass smart phone with no compromises!

I will be gladly sticking with my Nexus 5 instead of paying for this giant phone with a way too big price tag (although not unjustified given the specs). Most of the improvements I just don't care about, to me it's simply not worth the $300 more they are charging. If I need to get a new phone, I'll simply go for the Moto X, Moto G, or OnePlus One. No sense at all in forking out $650 for a freaking phone.

[Nexus 6  General] TheCybertronian:
Now this is officially wrong as 4.4.3 is hitting hammerhead. Google uses new nexus to show off new android versions.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
then lets just say 4.5
[Nexus 6  General] nikeman513:
I'd change that to 3GB of RAM and Android 4.5.x and you're probably pretty close. No more than Snapdragon 801 for sure. Google's never really the front runner to CPU and GPU (Can't complain due to price either). Battery will probably be 2800-2900mah for that reason. I'll go ahead and say 16MP Camera just because the technology is getting cheaper, and this has been their focus in recent software releases.
[Nexus 6  General] gtg465x:
What?

The One X and Galaxy S3 released in 2012 had a dual-core Snapdragon S4. The Nexus 4 released later that year had a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro.

The One M7 and Galaxy S4 released in 2013 had a Snapdragon 600. The Nexus 5 released later that year had a Snapdragon 800.

The One M8 and Galaxy S5 released in 2014 have a Snapdragon 801. Why would the Nexus 6 released later this year have the same thing? The trend says the Nexus 6 will have something significantly better. I would guess the Snapdragon 805. The Nexus has received a huge CPU/GPU upgrade every single year since its inception. No way they only go from Snapdragon 800 to 801 after 1 year.

[Nexus 6  General] nikeman513:
I wouldn't go by trend of what Samsung and HTC had last year. This year I believe the Nexus 6 will have very incremental upgrades in CPU and the 801s GPU upgrade is not bad by any means. The 801 is quite good, Google should spend more in sound, camera, battery life, and quality of product. That would be a better way to spend the money on costs of production to decrease losses on RMAs. RMAs on Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 have been so horrendous that Google was thinking of ditching the Nexus line for a while. If they keep producing products that barely meet margin after costs of repair and replacements, due to poor quality then Nexus 6 could be the last Nexus series. Just my opinion.

If its true, that'll be the end of affordable nexus phones. These silver editions would be flagships, with the Google attachment and cost more I'd bet. Like so called dev editions.

Ah well....I usually buy used, and far after they're released. :)

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

I wonder too if the phone makers will still make them difficult to develop on....like the moto x and its "you can't downgrade after 4.4.2" boot loader. Applies to its dev edition as well.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
People speculate that this is the end of nexus to me it sounds like rebranding the Google play edition and aggressively pushing it. I don't think Google will abandon what they believe is the perfect phone hardware and software. Samsung will continue to sell phones with SD slot and removable battery with capacitive buttons. This is obviously not what Google envisions android as

[Nexus 6  General] ThugEsquire:
It seems safest to expect nothing, but if you're in the mood for rumours, it's most likely going to be based on the LG G3 (5.5" 2K display). Keep in mind that a Nexus 6 doesn't have to be a 6" screen. The Nexus 5 had a 4.7" screen, so 5.5" can easily be deemed "Nexus 6." And if they are based on similar hardware, you can probably expect very good CM11/AOKP/Paranoid Android support for the LG G3 once the Nexus 6 I have imagined arrives.

We probably won't hear anything even semi-official until the Google I/O keynote June 25, but even if we do, we probably have some waiting to do.The Nexus 4 was released at the end of October 2012, and the Nexus 5 was released at the end of October 2013, so unless we see a major change, I wouldn't expect a Nexus 6 until October of this year. I will likely pick up an LG G3 in the meantime, which looks like an amazing phone overall, and then consider upgrading to the Nexus 6 if one does materialize at the end of the year.
[Nexus 6  General] FrankyDoodle:
Eh, Nexus 5 has a 4.95" display which would be called 5 inch by most of us, Nexus 4 had a 4.7", thus being in the upper 4 inch range and not quite 5 inch, kind of floating in limbo. By this logic a 5.5" phone won't get stamped with a '6' by Google.
[Nexus 6  General] ThugEsquire:
Ah, thanks--that's true. In any case I expect the Nexus 6 to be based on the LG G3 and with the same 5.5" screen, even if it is not labeled Nexus 6. Maybe it'll just be an LG G3 Silver Edition--in which case, we might actually see one at I/O. Android Silver represent!
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
If so, then I hope it also has some LG Flex love....
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Nexus was not subsidized, still above-cost, as shown my OPO $350 vs N5 $399 with double storage, 50% more Ram and bigger screen and double the battery life.

The price is what people will pay. I'm sure it will sell out, e.g. its $200 less than a Crapple which sold out.
[Nexus 6  General] DrunkFuX666:
The Note 4 is getting amazing reviews by the way, and it is almost better in all aspects except no front facing speakers, and its for 700.

So, is this the same camera as the OnePlus?

13mp IMX 214 Sensor.

But the N6 gets plenty of camera improvements from the 805 chipset.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
This is a joke right?

The biggest thing about Nexus phones is the fact that they were affordable. This is $300 more expensive than the last Nexus and even more than the one before, That's a huge leap to go into the $600's

Yes it's still cheaper than others, but it's not a "Nexus Price"
[Nexus 6  General] DrunkFuX666:
When I say subsidized, I mean considerably less for a phone of the same specs. You can't expect everyone to sell at cost price like oppo claims, no business will ever run that way.

You also can not compare this to an apple phone whether you like it or not, the fanbase for apple is much bigger and willing to throw out more money, because not only is it a status symbol, but it no doubt has great build quality. (No need to get started on the bending issues, I'm no fanboy of apple and have never owned a Apple phone, but I will give credit where its due)

Tbh, after the initial shock and the storage bump for the price from TMO, I'm open to getting it. I've gotta decide between jumping on the Note 4 offer by tomorrow while it's still up or waiting for this to drop in November. The camera on the Nexus is the only thing that concerns me.

Lol i wanted it a 5 incher :( cant bear the note 2 with 5.5 inch display... what about a 6 incher? Booo

I feel you on the display but other than that the price is honestly justified. If anything ppl should be mad at an iPhone 6 plus being price at a $1000 for the biggest storage. In comparison the nexus is the bargain of the year.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
N5 came with latest processor and that was about it. Everything else was average to below average.

bad vibration motor

bad speaker

average display. 1080p (nice) but viewing angles poor

below average battery size vs other flagships.

average camera.

N6 comes with all the bells and whistles.

Latest processor (actually better than majority flagships)

high end display (higher than majority flagships)

larger battery (larger than majority flagships)

dual speakers (more than majority flaghips)

Camera (questionable. probably average)

Premium build

I use these daily, impromptu / short calls I hold phone to ear, longer/planned calls I use headphones. Also make use of mute button on the cable. If moving phone is in pocket. Better audio than BT.

I think it will sell, just not in the quantities or still be popular a year later like N5. Every phone has a market. They probably making 5x the profit on N6 vs N5 so they'll be grinning.

Who'd predict Google would simply end up a Apple clone, just a little bit cheaper.

Nexus 5 has been my best phone yet, ZERO problems in almost a year, the "compromises" were very minimal and well worth the cheaper price as it wasn't a "cheap" phone. I got it within 10 minutes of it going on sale. For $399 (32 gig) I do not see that as a compromise at all.

Even with it not being the best top notch phone on the market, it sitll did really well.

It seems like Google is just jumping on the bandwagon and competing with the best phones, good for them, shouldn't have named it a Nexus though.

[Nexus 6  General] islammanjurul:
I don't know but I feel, completely my own personal view, nexus 6 and nexus 9 will be a big fail for Google.

First of all regarding Nexus 6 - it is too big, much more than any other android devices and also than any rivals' products. Specwise it could have 4 GB ram, though not needed now, but atleast a 64-bit processor like Snapdragon 810. Okay forget spec, fine. Can you please explain why the price is that much high without any huge leap in spec or production costs? Nexus 5 cost maximum 350 USD, and this new 6 starts at $650 !!! Just to compete against rivals like Apple or whatever, Google is planning to kill its android fan bases. It is in a whole - a big controversial release from Google, maybe you don't want to sell lots of devices, but your people wants them, so please listen to them.

Regarding Nexus 9 - it misses USB Host, OTG, only 2 GB RAM instead of 3 GB LPDDR3, come one Google, it has a better SOC than what Nexus 6 has, and you put only 2 GB standard ram, storage is damn too low 32 GB maximum and no SD card slot??? I cannot enjoy many games due to shortage on space on my Nexus 7 32 GB, and Nexus 9 with pre-loaded Android 5.0 will get ART enabled by default which requires lots of space.

Google, listen to your people, not to some limited set of rich people for Nexus 6, and do the right justice to Nexus 9 by providing its minimal specs requirement.

I'm gonna hold on to a slimmer of Hope until actual Google release and then I'll just jump the gun on a z3 compact. With student pricing it's only around 470. Much more reasonable price.

I disagree.

Only 4 and 5 were really affordable.

And you seems to forget specs aren't all. Think build quality, think cellular reception quality, think GPS quality...

I was a nexus user, and still a fan. Just replaced mine with the new moto x because I really don't want a 5.9 device : I am amazed by its quality, stellar 3g and lte reception, and GPS is so fast and so accurate. Camera is good, but I admit no image stabilisation is a miss if light is low.

Moto quality is far above Samsung, and LG, if I compare it to nexus 3,4 and 5 quality.
