Funnily enough I'm from the same area as you!! Gutted I had to leave as the free 4G upgrade was sweet
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Hmm, then that is strange.

I live in Bolton & work in Horwich & of my 4 bars, it never drops below 3.

30mb+ speeds in town,

10+20mb speeds in horwich,

4G coverage isn't the best yet, but 3G is literally everywhere I've been.

& data has only stopped for 1 day in the past 18months.

I've never had any issue with signal.

Even now, indoors I'm on a full signal.
[Nexus 6  General] eAsyy:
So much off topic..
[Nexus 6  General] Clay:
Heres my take. If Google wants to sell any Nexus 6's it will most cetrainly not be 5.9. If Google is attempting to kill the Nexus line by producing a phone that will not sell, then 5.9 all the way!

I am a die hard Nexus fan, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Nexus 10 . If the Nexus 6 is a 5.9 inch phone I'm out.
[Nexus 6  General] Ceiryus:
Looks like all 3 colors of the Nexus 5 16 GB are out of stock on the google play store. Nexus 6 release imminent? :p
[Nexus 6  General] reinert012:
I'm totally a Google fanboy and I will be buying. Nothing like running PURE ANDROID on a phone as well as have one of the biggest dev communities known to man. 5.9, bring it on.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
So the answer obviously is have nothing Microsoft. Don't need it never wanted it. Biggest funded illegal buggy slow expensive shame on the tech industry.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I worry about this too. How will they sell so many if it's really bigger than the iPhone 6+ ? Although many suggestions say it won't be bigger and will be on par with the note 4 possibly smaller except a bit more screen real estate.

After running sense roms so many times on my m7 and trying out aosp too, I really want a pure Google phone too.
[Nexus 6  General] GaSpartacus:
I think the price will have a bigger roll on people´s decision altough i reckon the 6" will too (altought less than the price i think)
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Totally agree, people will be way more pissed if the n6 is $800 vs 6"
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
It's safe to say the price will be about $420-450 since it has the latest hardware. You can't go wrong with ordering one to see how it feels to use it and return within a week if it's not ideal. Do carriers such as att and tmobile stock them as soon as they are announced so we can see them in person, or have they all been order only through the play store?
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
The carriers get them relatively quick and have floor models as well. At least with Tmobile its been my experience.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I'll try my luck ordering when it's available and if it's sold out I'll stop by tmobile to check one out. I hope they do a pre order system like they did with the iPhone 4 years ago.

[Nexus 6  General] WaxLarry:
Infact I don't have Microsoft, but too many people use windows, so google can't use ext4 as default for storage
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
If the problem is a phone with storage then don't ban SD storage. Just simply format as ext4 if inserted and that SD card is not readable on Windoze. Problem solved end of.

I added 64gb SD to my tablet for $30 so that is my benchmark for phone storage.
[Nexus 6  General] bhavstech:
it shares a similar design as new moto x
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Speculation.
[Nexus 6  General] Elluel:
That word sums up this entire thread.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
I agree with this. Let those of us who know how to handle ext4 have it. Sd card would make a world of difference to me.
[Nexus 6  General] badboy47:
Overall my conclusion to this thread.

Before Nexus 6 reveal:

- 5.9" omg

- no SD card? Wtf!

- no 64bit? No thanks

After Nexus 6 reveals:

- pre ordered day 1!!!! Nothing is perfect. I will get use to it.
[Nexus 6  General] Clay:
SD CARD WILL NEVER HAPPEN! I can not believe people still bring this up. Its like asking if it comes with HDMI. ITS OLD PEOPLE! Google is subsidizing the price of the Nexus devices just like AT&T and Verizon do, only Google is pushing their cloud based options instead of service as the carriers do. No one should ever need to complain about a Nexus device not having expandable memory again. Period. If you don't like it move on.

As far as the size. I had a Note 2 for a few hours, sold it on eBay and bought my Nexus 4 all in the same day. I am 6'4". I do not wear any tight fitting clothing. The Note is just plain too big for comfort for me. I will not be buying a tablet as my phone, already have my tablet. I will be absolutely amazed and begin to doubt Google's mindset if they only bring out a 5.9 inch phone. The larger phones have a great market, but it is a fraction of the market for a ~ 5 inch phone.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
If nexus6 is 5.9in I will most likely buy it

Depending on the specs and the price most likely I will cheap out and buy the Nexus 7 FHD LTE
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
dude you are 6'4 and the note is too big 4 u? maybe you have tiny hands? [emoji1]

in 2011 phablets were 1% of smartphone market, now they have grown to 25% that's 1 out of 4 smartphones, demand for large phones is exploding, the next closest thing is the moto x, it has mediocre battery and almost no development, good luck trying to feed your flashing addiction with almost nothing to flash
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
I wouldn't call 1 of 4 exploding. Its still a niche. Also where did this stereotype of large hands, tight pants , etc come from? Its like you guys threw personal preference out the door. The guy said that even for his height he prefers smaller phones. You guys are taking this nexus or nothing thing personally.
[Nexus 6  General] Clay:
No small hands here. XXL gloves when I can find them.

1 out of 4 phones is a "phablet". So 3 out of 4 phones is a "normal" sized phone. I say they continue shooting for the majority of buyers.

I buy Nexus phones because they come exactly as I want my phone. No bloat, vanilla Android, tethering enabled, higher end specs, no physical buttons for screen navigation. I have never and will never hack a phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Sentrix27:
Yeah, hand size and height certainly aren't everything.

I saw a woman easily under 5 feet the other day carrying around an iP6 Plus, and she said she loved it.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
personal preferences can be changed, when the nexus 5 came up last year people were complaining the same about the size, nexus enthusiasts will come around, there's a lot more linked to the nexus experience that other devices can't replicate
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
I also see a lot of girls who most wear tight ass pants put their iPhone in their back pocket and even the iPhone 5s stick out about 1/4 to half the way up.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
I'd never put my phone in my back pocket. I can fit a galaxy tab 3 7 inch in my sweat pants pocket and that thing has big bezels and I can also fit it

In my regular v jeans (33x32) front pocket but really uncomfortably. I think the nexus 6 will be a lot smaller build size then the tab 3 so hopefully it won't be too bad for me.
[Nexus 6  General] oskimon:
So this thread pretty much derailed into a body/clothes size thread now, huh?

I don't think body type and preference in phone size goes (erh) hand in hand like that.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Exactly.
[Nexus 6  General] KennyDumah:
What the hell is wrong with you?! XD

This thread is about what u think about the Nexus 6. Not about tight ass pants on girls :D

Just curious... :P
[Nexus 6  General] Clay:
This is a "Google Nexus 6 - What do you think?" thread. I was just stating my opinion and what I would like to see. If the Nexus 6 is incredibly thin it may work for me. But then I would fear for its structural integrity. Time will tell. I am used to ordering at release, but I may wait till I can touch it if it does indeed end up being 5.9 inches.
[Nexus 6  General] kenjiwing:
Is there a ETA on a release date yet?
[Nexus 6  General] kornklown69:
I love both ha
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
They are announcing the nexus 9 on the 15th so hopefully they announce the nexus 6 too.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Is there an event on the 15th or will they just release a statement saying the nexus 9 is out?
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I think they are just announcing it according to what I read over several websites. I'm not sure what they usually do in terms of an event or not. I know Apple's event is tomorrow for new ipads so Google would make sense to have one too but I haven't heard much.
[Nexus 6  General] GaSpartacus:
I´m sure they will host at least one event to showcase android 5.0 fully functional (they might do it on the tablet or smartphone or on both).
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
There are good engineering reasons to make phones larger.

room for bigger battery

room for more heat dissipation, as the performance is ultimately thermally throttle

There are good commercial reasons to make bigger phones:

it is a fad fashion and every fad fashion is able to ask for more money so it is more profitable

phones, particularly for the young and easily impressionable, are a fashion statement (see above), and a bigger phone gets noticed

If you get a bigger screen, it goes to people who are seeking to merge phone and tablet and so commercially will be willing to pay more as they don't buy a tablet

a 30% margin on a bigger phone vs say a 10% margin on a smaller phone, you can sell much fewer big phones but its still substantially profitable

However, the operational facts are:

the average hand cannot hold firmly bigger than 5" phone

(for average hands) you cannot operate fully a bigger phone one handed meaning you must forego use of the other hand

bigger phones when not in hand take up more pocket space which restricts pocket types and sizes

Hence its a battle between fad fashion, childish impressionability, vs common sense practicalities.

Ultimately fad fashions reverse when they are impracticable. Some "bigger is better" fashions of the past not popular now to illustrate the proof.

The issue is not that a Google Nexus 6" might exist soon, the issue is if this is the only Google Nexus phone, it doesn't make logical sense .So I'm siding with the view Google will release a 808 based 5" size next year, which will then be the first 64bit Nexus phone, not the end-of-line 32bit this N6 will be, and be 30% faster than this 805 6" phone. I've moved back down from a 5.5" OnePlusOne as I know from trying to adapt for 2 months, bigger than 5" isn't practical for a phone, and it can never offer as good as tablet anyway (8" is better than 6" once you're sat down and can use both hands).

I know a Nexus 6 phone will sell, same as why silly big shoes, silly tall hats, silly big skirts sold in the past.
[Nexus 6  General] PDP///M:
Is one man's opinion... Some people have actual uses for a big screen phone and not due to it being some fad. ( my opinion)
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
Just found this on another site apparently the N6(could be any phone though) looks like stores might be getting their stock in. A release this week looks very possible if true..

[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
When I'm wanting and capable of using both hands, why would I squeeze myself into a 6" screen when I can use a 8.3" screen?

Once you get past the one-hand limit then you're basically LIMITING yourself to a phone when you could just use a tablet and keep your phone as primarily just a phone. Other benefits of tablet+phone

drain the tablet's 4300mah battery, NOT the smaller battery of the phone

bigger actual screen

two screen, multitasking

tablet+phone given these are older technologies are cheaper. You can get tablet+phone for the same cost as a new 6" phone

I spent 2 months trying to adapt to >5" phone, what is the point, it is can never be as good as tablet. Used Nexus 7 $100-$120, new about $150, or Gpad for $200.

There is for sure a market for everything, but it is illogical for Google to only offer a 6" phone. If its also being offered with a 2015 808-based 64bit phone then that next one is the one to go as it will solve the biggest failings of the Nexus 5 which is battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
Looks like an M8 to me, might be fake. Got it from Android Central.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Interesting its a photo of a bubble wrap and not a Nexus 6 external packaging box or the rear with Nexus logo, etc, far more convincing "leaks" can occur than this of a claimed phone. This smells more of hoax than evidence.

Moto X Play - Pure Edition (Nexus 6 - 5.2)"

Negative. If they only release 5.9" Nexus 6, then I'm getting the "Pure Edition" of the 5.2" Droid Turbo (Verizon)/Moto X Play (AT&T).

5.2"

1440p

1

Snapdragon 805

3GB RAM

wireless charging

Front facing speaker

21 megapixel camera

woven Kevlar back

3900 mAh battery

Etc.

THIS is the phone the 5.2" Nexus 6 Google was testing is based on. But looks like they are not going to release it as a Nexus... But it will be coming to AT&T as the "Moto X Play".

So, next best thing is a "Pure Edition". The pure editions come straight from Motorola without carrier branding and no bloatware.

Here's the Pure Edition of the Moto X (which I am NOT interested in). But if they are doing the Moto X surely they will offer a Pure Edition for the awesome Moto X Play.

Moto X Pure Edition To Get Additional 4G LTE Bands Support Through A Software Update

[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
But to me the camera is left edge middle of the phone, that clear dark round.

But this is hardly evidence, of anything.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea people just getting excited for nothing. If we don't here anything on the 15th then I guess start to worry.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:

[Nexus 6  General] 2phonejones:
I can't remember ever being this torn between 2 devices...I had the nexus 5 and sold it in anticipation of the n6 release but now I'm seeing all the specualtion about a 5.9 screen..I love nexus but the note 4 screen size at 5.7 is pusing the limit imo...on top of that they're released at pretty much the same time! urrgghhhh one things for sure im either gettting the n6 or the note 4. I PRAY the n6 will be 5.7 then its a for sure buy.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Ipad new mini 3rd gen and Air 2nd gen launch event has invites out for Oct 16th so you'd want to not announce the same date, but ideally the day before to both get attention undiluted and to blunt Crapple's later announcement. There aren't any Google/HTC invites so it will be a soft announcement.

The gravity of evidence points to a Nexus 9 announcement before any Nexus phone announcement. Nexus 9 has consistent independent data points of accessories, Nvidia, FCC.

Speaking of TK News, they are still holding out hope for a 5.2" -- based on the Droid Turbo/Moto X Play.

DROID TURBO PDF LEAKS MORE NEXUS RUMORS

http://tktechnews.com/2014/10/08/droid-turbo-pdf-leaks-more-nexus-rumors/

But as I think Google is going to disappoint us, and just release the honkin' big 5.9. Therefore the PURE EDITION of the Moto X Play is the substitute 5.2" Nexus 6.

We KNOW Google was testing a 5.2" version as late as mid-August. But since then, all leaks have been about the 5.9". I'm not buying it.

But the Moto X Play (not to be confused with the Moto X), sounds FANTASTIC. Announcement probably by end of October, actual release in November.

[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
You bring up some valid points however opinions may vary. Some people may not want two devices so a phablet is the next best thing. Then of course you could say if you have two devices why limit yourself to a 7-8 inch tablet get a 10+ inch tablet. The thing is with two devices I usually don't carry my phone with me. So a big ass phone would be nice.

With a nexus there are no multi tasking capabilities like their Samsung/LG. For Samsung/LG phone/tablets you have that capability on both phone and tablet.

On my note 2 I used that one handed all the time. Even sending a quick text message at a stop light. It's the way you hold the phone. I would argue that Android makes it easy to operate one handed even if you can't access 10-20% of the screen. Once again it's all preference. Go into any note forum on here and their opinion overwhelmingly is that any phone under 5.5-7 is "too small"
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
So you're just about able to get by with 5.5" so you've not proved anything about how you can handle 6".

Observe that once you forego easy operation past 5", your phone is still just about operable one handed with some risk of falling at 5.5" but at 6" it is at much more risk of falling. The 5.5" I have to what will happen at 6" I show towards the end.

[Nexus 6  General] PDP///M:
One again, i don't think anyone is disagreeing with you but everyone uses their phones differently. My use is different than yours. I would welcome a 6 in phone and give my tablet to my daughter. There is a place for big phones. It's s just not for you. Doesn't make it a fad just because you don't like it.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Your video doesn't prove anything. Other than the fact that you can't hold a big phone one handed. Not all people have the same hands as you do. Furthermore, some people (like myself) don't mind using both hands. I understand your concerns and believe me, I had the same concerns at first. I understand that a bigger tablet is probably a more convenient choice for those that want a big screen but that doesn't work for everyone. I don't want a phone and a tablet. I'd much rather have a large phone and no tablet. I used to enjoy one-handed use on my iPhone but after using big screens, the pros clearly outweigh the cons.

Also, the Nexus 6 probably won't have a bigger footprint than the OnePlus One, at least not by a lot.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I didn't mention like or not, just sticking to logical facts that bigger phones are harder to operate so will be less popular. Read slower. I didn't say it won't sell. Every phone has a buyer.

Those against the Nexus 6 is roughly double those against the Nexus 5 according to polls. This shows some will buy it but just not as many. If your reply is simply that some, e.g. yourself, will buy it, that is not not related at all, as every phone will have a market.

A few warnings to you if you move up a size in phone and give up a tablet:

the phone doesn't have the tablet's battery so the total SoT you get will be less, common sense really. Tablet 4000mah + phone 3000mah = 7000mah which is greater than any phone.

the bigger phones will fall more often as they can't be secured as easily

you won't be able to sit down with it as easily so you'll tend to put it out more where it risks damage (e.g. food/liquid) and being forgotten. I found my OPO fell out about 10 times as much as my N5 just due to that critical bit more height, a 6" will be even worse.

If it comes out, enjoy :good:

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I did in the video say bigger can handle better.

I was also simply saying bigger you can't operate one-handed, I didn't say that everyone needs to operate one-handed, only pointing it out. If you don't operate a phone whilst walking and needing to use other hand for say coffee, umbrella, bags, etc, then fine.

If you want to go from tablet+phone to just phone, it will be an inferior experience as the phone even at 6" is worse than a basic tablet plus the battery of a tablet typically 4000mah is adding to the battery of the phone to give more total SoT than just a phone so you'll get less out of than you are currently thinking.

Many who moved to the OPO, whilst it did have more SoT than a smaller battery phone, it could never have SoT of a tablet and of course you've then flattened your phone battery.

Caveat emptor.
