Ok now let me ask you this, why is it that for the past few major Samsung releases, every Samsung phones on T-Mobile and Sprint has had an unlocked bootloader but not AT&T and Verizon? If Samsung is to blame then why is T-Mobile and sprint Samsung phones bootloaders unlocked? Can u address that please thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
Browsed through an AT&T store today, mainly to take another look at the Note 4, and they had a Moto X on display. I'd been on the fence between the Note 4 and Nexus 6 but playing around with the Moto X really sold me on the Nexus. It basically being a bigger Moto X is big plus in my book, loved the look and feel of it in person.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
it takes 2 to tango , the under dogs are more flexible and ATT /Verizon are control freaks, but at the end of the day the manufacturer produces the phone, if Sammy strikes a deal with the carriers individually they still should provide a way out for user that DON'T WANT a crippled device. I remember when HTC came out and said they would provide the unlock codes they stated that they would note share with the carriers the info of who did it haha.

the HTC system is a good compromise, they provide you with the unlock code but the warranty is void so is up to the user
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Im afraid you are talking nonsense. As if 99% of AT&T or Verizon customers ask if the bootloader is unlocked before they buy a device...

Bottom line is this, u wanna blame Samsung you're totally entitled to it. But Samsung leaves their bootloader unlocked always, it is Verizon and AT&T that request it to be locked. Take the note 4 for example, The international versions of the note 4, exynos and snapdragon have unlocked bootloaders, British versions as well and other countries too and so does T-Mobile and sprint version. But u wanna blame Samsung which is quite funny since it is obvious that carriers are the one who want it locked. And locked bootloaders do not prevent Samsung to be a much more successful company than HTC.....

Yeah it is quite a nice device. What turned me off about the note is many reports of lag. Nexus all the way! People who have the nexus 5 and are using the android 5.0 preview says that the phone is even smoother than it ever was on kitkat and that's crazy cause I had a nexus 5 and it was so smooth on 4.4 so im even more excited about the nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I got my Moto X last week and it really is an amazing device. I'll be getting the N6 too at some point and if the Moto X is any indication of what we can expect from the N6, then it's going to be awesome.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I stopped by a t mobile store and played with a moto x. The thing fits in the hand nicely and is decent to hold, I like the way it feels too very smooth. It's a snappy device and seems great. If the nexus 6 is of the same construction, then I'll be very happy. I can only imagine the nexus will be even quicker with lollipop. Definitely can't wait to pre order it next week. Expensive but hey it's a phone I can use on any carrier since I'm no longer in contract with Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Hows your battery?
[Nexus 6  General] DigitalUnderground:
How's the camera and speaker? [MENTION=4399028]MKBHD[/MENTION] said that was his biggest disappointment from the moto x 2014.
[Nexus 6  General] doctor_droid:
The only reason i wont get the newest nexus beast would be the size...i still find my nexus 5 abit large for my use ....

However i would definately recommend this beast to anyone who asks me abt phablets... Most likely will ask my brother to get this device (so that i can fiddle wid it) :p

I particularly liked new 'flash' form ...
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Better than I originally thought. I had over 3 hours SOT before I plugged it in at 55% last night. So I figure I can get 5-6 hrs SOT, which is just fine for me. Right now I have 82% left with 3.5 hrs on battery and 1hr18m screen on time. That was all web browsing, some texting with hangouts, and a little bit of playing OTTTD. That really isn't bad at all.

The speaker is great, very loud and no distortion. Coming from an N5 it is a HUGE improvement. The camera is so-so. It seems better than the N5 but I haven't really done much comparing. I don't take a lot of pics so the camera to me is a non-issue. It works, and the pics are sharp and clear so that's all I really care about.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
No speaker on the back can be good, ever.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
The speaker is on the front...
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
You talk about the N4?
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
I think he is talking about the new Moto X
[Nexus 6  General] Ltdrev:
Does anyone have heard about a refreshed N5 with newer CPU/GPU maybe a bit more pixel too ? it would be killer...

it would be quite nice I don't really want a N6 price is "ok" for its size and features but its just plain too big I would have to carry a purse! I bought a Note3 and I got fed up by its size almost immediatly thats why my GF got it and loves it ( she has a huge purse departement in our closet available "in house").

:(
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Not happening.
[Nexus 6  General] Ltdrev:
Hope not I really want to stick to the Nexus line ...

Lets stop this madness please! to get the latest hardware in a 5 incher is a must I think for a lot of ppl anywhere in the world even with relaxed fit jeans a 6in phone will show and bulge , lika king size pack of cigarettes or a 80's cassette walkman , I always beleived evolution in electronics was the other way around...

:silly:
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I doubt they would refresh it. There is the moto x second gen now too.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Where did you get that from? I'm talking about the Moto X.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Get the new Moto X Pure Edition. Same look as the Nexus 6, stock Android, unlocked bootloader. It's every bit as good as a Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
They aren't going to refresh it mainly because it doesn't need to be refreshed- the N5 is still BLAZING fast. And QHD is just a gimmick, especially on a screen this size. Can you honestly tell me when looking at the N5's screen that you wish it was higher resolution? All QHD would do is require the S805, and a bigger battery just to get the same performance out of it that it already has. Pretty pointless. Just wait for L to come out, I just flashed the L preview on it last night and it's like a completely different phone. I wasn't sold on the new look at first but the more I use it the more I like it. Where Android was more of a blank canvas before, with L it has a fully realized and gorgeous UI.
[Nexus 6  General] Judge584:
I would bet it will be refreshed in may 2015 near next Google IO with a 64 bits CPU and a 5.2 inches screen.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
That's not gonna happen. The Nexus line is about software primarily and the Nexus 6 will run android L perfectly.
[Nexus 6  General] tyvar1:
I love the size of it! I have all the samsung notes and I will get this instead of note 4! :D
[Nexus 6  General] Richieboy67:
I keep my g3 in my front pocket all the time with no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
I am new to android. I am getting the nexus 6 on AT&T. I have some concerns with being stuck with AT&T apps and slow updates. Can someone explain to me the different scenarios for the AT&T version? In all scenarios can i easily root and delete the AT&T bloat and get updates manually? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] Baldilocks:
It's a Nexus device. There better not be ANY AT&T bloat on it.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Seeing as though it's a Nexus device, you won't have any issues with bloat or delayed updates. And rooting is as easy as unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery, and flashing SU. It'll take you maybe 5 minutes to do.
[Nexus 6  General] szucsgf:
Plus you don't need to root to remove bloat. Just long press app icon - App info - disable.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Man im so ready to get my order placed.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Is that how it is on all android phones?
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
Does anyone know if playstore has an option to order subsidized with a carrier? Or does google only sell them for 649 off contract?
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
For the most part, yes. At least on newer android phones. There is some bloat that you can't disable sometimes but you can usually get most of it. But again, you have nothing to worry about since you're getting a nexus :)
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I think they are mostly all off contract, even if we have to choose a carrier at check out. Best buy, Amazon, costco usually sells them subsidized on their website.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
I hope so. Would be pissed if AT&T messes it up.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
I might got confused lolz :D
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Playstore is off contract only at full price.
[Nexus 6  General] inaya45:
Actually, there is no specific Google Play edition. All Nexus devices run stock Android. But yes, it is unlocked unless you buy it from a local carrier on contract. So all in all, you can use it without any restrictions (:
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Dazed... and confused? ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Judge584:
Good idea! I'm gonna listen an old Led Zeppelin while going to work ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Richieboy67:
Funny you guys mentioned that. I had my CD changer packed with zep this week.

To stay on topic though, I don't care much about the speakers. I use headphones mostly. What is really killing this device for me is the price. Right now I have a g3 with an SD card so in total I have over 100 gigs. I would love to get the 64 gig model of the nexus but the price has gotta be way up there.

I'm just not sure it would be worthwhile for me to switch if I gotta spend over $800.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Yea, my favorite LZ song :D
[Nexus 6  General] :
I think it would cause a lot of anger in the Android community if anyone dared to put bloat on any Nexus. The Nexus brand is pure Googliness.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Anger is an understatement, unfortunately though we are a minority and the android users at large wouldn't even notice.

It won't happen, if anything we would see intrusive adds on the lock screen and notification bar before that similar to the kindle series before we start seeing need for speed preinstalled on a nexus
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
I don't know how the USA works, but to all those that want a finance deal, or are considering going with a carrier to help spread the cost, do you not have such a thing as a 0% credit card? Buy it on that with an introductory rate of 0% for 18 / 24 months. Make monthly payments. Job done
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Not everyone will get approved for 0%. That's part of the problem. I know PayPal bill me later always gives you 0% on stuff you buy all the time but that's not a Google play payment option.

I have nearly excellent credit and I don't always get 0% card approval. I get some good ones that show up as offers later for 0%.
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
How would bloat ever work on a nexus? It would take less than 5 minutes to download and fastboot flash a stock image from google. Anyone wasting time on injecting bloat to a nexus would need their head checking

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Really? Are you in USA? I'm in the UK, my credit isn't particularly wonderful, and yet I always get great 0% deals. I pretty much expect that if I were to be accepted to take a 2 year carrier deal, then I'd also be accepted for the 0% credit card deal
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea I'm in the US. It may be a bit more strict and other factors that go into account.
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
That really sucks for you guys... Especially when you consider that the banks controlling all this money they wish to lend me are US based!
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
I don't think AT&T cares about that. I can see them bloating the heck out of the nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] oneplus:
I do not know how wherever you are from works, but those that cannot afford to pay upfront a $700 purchase, should probably not make the purchase because that money can be used for more important stuff than a piece of tech :)
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
You pay the same amount over a contract but at about 25-30 bucks a month for 2 years. Although I agree you won't be able to to get 0% on credit card for 2 years.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Why do it with a credit card. Most of the carriers offer it through no interest payment plan. Unless you plan on buying direct from play store. $700 is probably someone's bill or rent, or a bug part of their mortgage, medical bill, car expense, food, etc. I'm keeping my nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea that's true but a couple people want it off contract. I've been off contract for a while now and don't want to go back to one. I agree it's almost as much as my rent. But I have 0% for a year or more on the card I'm going to transfer balances to and I plan on paying it off before then. Gonna be an expensive year for sure especially having it release this time of year as I just got all new tires too.
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Those that can afford that much out of pocket, should prolly move out of their parents house, get their own place and pay their own bills. ?

Sorry, I had to.

G3
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Ha ben that way for years now with a ton of bills and student loans about 1k a month in total. If you are good with money it's not hard to afford things like this.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
What do i think, ill tell you what i think.

No presentation of the device, no event.

No NDA lift date, no previews, no reviews, no official prize/order date for EU, NOTHING. Google is terrible at launching products! :mad:
[Nexus 6  General] mikeius89:
Im not sure about the nexus. I think ill skip out this time. Ive become too fond of the htc one family to give up on it lol but it does sound like a beast phone
[Nexus 6  General] Renosh:
I seriously doubt the Nexus 6 will sell well outside the US at its current price point. I haven't heard anything about on contract in Europe, and prices are usually higher. If One plus we're smart they should have kept the preorders going they could get a lot of people who can't buy the Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Luckily for me, i found some photos :)

I share this in 2 threads, so more people can see it, i know how desperate i was :good:
[Nexus 6  General] Juice3250:
The great thing about android is the amount of choices in devices. There are no perfect devices that will be future proof or have everything you want in one, but if expandable storage and removable battery is something you want, there's a device out there for you. I think we all have to accept the fact that gone are the days of the sub $400 Nexus phones.

I am currently using an iPhone 5s because I wanted to take a break from Android. I love just sitting back not feeling the pressure and stress of trying to decide which Android device would be the best for me. Aside from this, I am looking forward to returning to an Android phone when my contract expires next August. I am on Verizon's Early Edge paying $37.49/month for this phone. Luckily, they give you $10 off so it works out to be $27.49/month. Plus, I get a government employee discount of $12/month. These two discounts make it worth it for my family to stay with them.

If I could get one now, it would probably be the Xperia Z3V, but obviously there will be something better next year. I'll have to wait and see what Google releases next year. I've been on stock android before and it always seemed boring to me. But, the way technology is, lag is very minimal on virtually every flagship phone. So it really comes down to personal preference.

I was initially shocked at the price of the Nexus 6 but it's still lower than the majority of comparable phones. It definitely had to be more expensive than its younger brother, the 2014 Moto X.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
Its almost that time to preorder guys! Who is ready?
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
There is still more than 20hrs left for me.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
What? Doesn't matter the time zone well all see it no matter the time. Google goes by PST . can't remember the time they released n5
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I know but it's the 28th still and play store says coming soon. Preorders start some time on the 29th.

It's 4pm where I am which means 1pm Pacific time. So the 29th for pst means 3am est.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Lol just messing. ;) I won't be doing play store ordering. Wonder why T-Mobile won't allow pre orders. If anything I'll call them tomorrow and see what's up. Otherwise I dont mind waiting until the 12th

[Nexus 6  General] selayan:

[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
5.2 inch 2k display with 565 ppi....

3900mah battery

21mp camera

That's just insane
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
Is this only for Verizon being that its "droid" ? Because a few pages back I read ppl were going to wait on the moto play x which is the droid turbo..
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
The turbo is a Verizon exclusive. Nit sure about the X play though.
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
These specs are crazy but I'll be waiting quite a long time before a gsm variant is released that is available in Canada.

The specs are really tempting but I still find the Nexus 6 to be a more interesting device to me. The 6 inch screen with front facing speakers is going to be amazing for multimedia consumption, I have owned a bunch of 5 inch smartphones that the thought of a much larger screen is pretty appealing to me now.
[Nexus 6  General] barondebxl:
I used up all my thanks for the day lol

I totally agree, to the point that if (hypothetically speaking) google were to come out and say that they will cancel the 5.9 inch display and drop it to 5.2-5.5 I would be a little disappointed vs when it was first announced I thought it was just a little bigger than I wanted.
[Nexus 6  General] funkyblue04:
The Droid Turbo is what the Nexus 6 should have been. Will there be an International Version of the Turbo? I'm all about battery life and there is not many options from a Nexus 5. Xperia Z3 still does not have root without Unlocking the Bootloader ?
[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
Original Droid and Droid Razr were top of the line when they were released. Now that droid tradition continue with the Turbo.

[Nexus 6  General] Baldilocks:
I prefer on screen keys now -- because I can eventually rearrange them. I prefer the back button on the right.

So, a Droid Turbo would be out for me anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
It's funny, I used to think on screen nav keys were the worst thing Google ever did to Android. Now, after owning the original Moto X and then the Nexus 5, I think they are one of the best things about Android and can and will never go back to a phone that uses capacitive keys.
[Nexus 6  General] Joshnor713:
I on the other hand miss capacitive buttons :(. I hate the black bar taking up my screen. Will never get used to it.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I've had a lot of htc phones all with capacitative buttons. But after using aosp and on screen buttons on other models I got used to them. As long as they don't take too much space. It looks like they won't on nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
The easy solution for that would be to use GravityBox to put an expanded desktop tile in your quick settings, and enabling PIE control. That's what I do for any app or game that doesn't have immersive mode. I've also shrunken my navbar down to 65% in portrait and 40% in landscape.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Anyone know what this app is? This is a screenshot taken from AndroidCentral's hands on with the Nexus 9.
[Nexus 6  General] msavic6:
This is believed to be the multiwindow functionality but so far nobody really knows for sure. Another person noticed the same thing on the Nexus 6.

I can't deal with capacitive buttons but I agree that this black navbar have to go !

Another solution, edit the build.prop and add this line qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

no more hideous navbar after that.

I use two things to navigate through the system, PIE and gesture both can be achieved by installing LMT Launcher, I think gesture can be a great solution, it's one of the things BlackBerry got right with their BlackBerry OS 10 in my opinion.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Yep, really appreciated it! I'm going to respond either tonight or tomorrow.

Is that so? Well I hope it is multi-window lol. We definitely need that feature. Thanks!

I see ads, I see ads on the roads, I see tech sites making exclusive hype press about it and so on.

I dont see that with the Nexus 6.
