The specs and build quality are too perfect for me to say no.

I will probably finance this through T-Mobile, given it's 649 either way.

Size will be interesting but I'm willing to give it a shot, without hesitation.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Supposedly, T-Mobile version will be $649 with 64 GB. November 12.
[Nexus 6  General] setspeed:
Hey, guess what guys? A whole load of you have an N5 (like me), and with the final release of Lollipop it will feel like a new damn phone, except you won't have to spend any money at all! I am actually not disappointed about the price because I was never going to buy a 6" device anyway. Silver lining in every cloud :)

PS - people who want it, I'm sorry you will have to spend almost twice as much on this year's phone. Google can't always be the good guy :(
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
will it be sold out in 10mins like the nexus 4 was TWO years ago...??? hell no....800$ cdn = no buy
[Nexus 6  General] AniketRathod:
I have rooted nexus 5 with stock ROM would I be still able to get Android L OTA update via Google?
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
I own both, they're both great OPO is basically bigger more storage. Depend on hand size pocket size and usage. I had a journey of self discovery having owned both and for my usage N5 with a tablet is best fit, but my son just has OPO
[Nexus 6  General] oobatz:
Think I'll have to stick with the N5 - N6 will no doubt start at £450 over here in the UK.

I'll just stick Lollipop on my N5 - stick on a fresh screen protector and maybe get a new case :D

See you next October!
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
You are lucky your opo phones didn't have a yellow band. I couldn't stand it. Can we confirm the nexus 6 runs on metro pcs?
[Nexus 6  General] tweaked:
..To big. To Expensive.

But..I have my ATT upgrade coming in a few months. So I can see myself with it.
[Nexus 6  General] mobbarley:
$649 might be the carrier pricing? I might reconsider if it's ~$550 through play store.
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
I need a new phone, I'll probably just get a Moto X. If this was cheaper I would have seriously considered it but its either going to be the same price or even more expensive than the Moto X in the UK.
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
This sucks. I guess I'll just fix my lg g2 screen or sell it and buy a nexus 5 again :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

I thought Google would stock with the point of a nexus. At least the tablet is still reasonably priced for a tablet. I might get one of those maybe

Any idea when factory images for lollipop will go live? hope someone can get those running on the OPO cause i'm not patient at all

So no Qi....?

Looks like no Qi is mentioned? I wonder if it will attach to the N5 magnetic charger? I use that as car mount....
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
Well since this announcement was a disappointment for many people how about a separate unrelated question: What do you think Android M will be called? I vote mayonnaise.
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
It's not moto voice but it's a huge start. I saw this in the changelog for Android L

OK Google

Easy access to information and performing tasks

Even if your screen is off, you can say "OK Google" on devices with digital signal processing support such as Nexus 6 and Nexus 9

[Nexus 6  General] scottharris4:
$649? You can forget about me ever buying this phone then. WHy pay that much when I can get a Nexus 5 for $350, a Moto X for $400, or a Moto G for $200? Just completely ridiculous. They just about have priced the phone out of the market for anyone that isn't rich.
[Nexus 6  General] kenjiwing:
I was really happy about the size but I am really dissapointed about the price. The whole advantage to the nexus platform has been the price and now that one is gone.

$649 before tax and shipping is way too damn high

Thanks but that isn't the finished builds still dev preview it says. hopefully someone can get it ported to the OPO

How does this compare with note 4 and iPhone 6plus 32gb?
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Where did you guys get the prices? I'm googling and nothing comes up?
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
u can't blame google for wanted to make a profit now lol...with the iphone6 pricing and specs and u compare the specs of the nex6 , its way cheaper and hotter deal!

would have been great if the price as like 600usd for the 64gb tho
[Nexus 6  General] GaSpartacus:
That´s exactly what i though to do after i saw the pricing xD lillipop is going to improve the battery life and camera of my N5 so why pay more 300 euros for that with this n6?Love my N5 even more now
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
Motorola blog.
[Nexus 6  General] kenjiwing:
Iphone 6 plus is ****. If you want a big phone the note 4/nexus 6 is pretty much the way to go. The issue is they both cost a fortune the note 4 will easily cost you 700+ and now the nexus is 650. I was really hoping for a big screen 450-500ish top of the line phone to upgrade my note 3 to.
[Nexus 6  General] d3sm0nd:
Too ****ing big screen size... not getting it. Google should have released a small version of the Nexus 6! So pissed.
[Nexus 6  General] Juice3250:
Wait for the Motorola Droid Turbo if you're on Verizon.

Very disappointed in the price. No longer is it affordable to buy a Nexus off contract. IMHO, there's no reason to spend $200 more on this than a 2014 Moto X. Battery life won't be that much better. Especially with a screen almost an inch bigger.

I do think it makes sense, financially, to make it available on all carriers. I just hope we don't have another repeat of the Galaxy Nexus with different updates and Verizon's Galaxy Nexus not getting 4.3 when all others received them.

I definitely don't think this will hurt the 1+1 sales at all. If anything, OnePlus will benefit from the overpriced N6.

The price and screen size makes me no longer interested in ever buying one.

Long live Nexus 4 & 5! Too big and to expensive!
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
I'm loving the phone and want it so badly but the price is disappointing. I'm a student and I saved up for it expecting it to be at around 450 and id have enough after selling my g2. But now I won't even have enough unless v the price is at least 150 less then what they said. So looks like I'll probably get a z3 compact or just use some of my saved money for fixing my g2 and wait for the next release of devices. I so badly wanted the nexus 6 though even after not liking the size I was convinced id like it and hyped myself up. Now I'm just sad. Maybe if no one buys it price will drop :p:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

What have you got now? Will you be getting a Moto X?
[Nexus 6  General] djsaad1:
I am still worried that it doesn't have a notification light.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I hope it will work on metro pcs. I don't want to wait for it on Verizon. Looks like I'm going to bite the bullet and get one.

But I don't think it will come to Verizon except for later. Preordering for unlocked is on the 29th. So I hope it works on metro pcs.
[Nexus 6  General] BuzzFuzz:
damn, 5,9" - no thanks :(
[Nexus 6  General] namartlu:
Thanks! I see that now. But the price is a little steep...
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
The Moto X is basically the same phone but smaller and cheaper (I think, its £430 I think starting price in the UK)

And lol I did the same thing. I thought this is going to be big but I sort of convinced myself it would be ok. Now though after taking the price and the physical dimensions into account which is even bigger than an iPhone with those huge bezels its almost certain I wont buy this. Might just get a Moto X.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
IPhone 6plus is $849 on T-Mobile, note 4 is $749. I'd say the $649 with a bigger screen and android 5 out of the box is a great deal especially if its the 64gb. Will only raise my bill a little.
[Nexus 6  General] eAsyy:
Pffffff
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I'm quite familiar with that. Won't be an issue, wife just got a big promotion!

The 32GB N6 will be $649.
[Nexus 6  General] kenjiwing:
Metro PCS is Tmobile now so it will work.
[Nexus 6  General] Goku80:
price is way to high for a nexus device and specially when the specs will be out of date by next year march april when new chips in new handsets like the m9 or galaxy s6 will be out
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
Still $100 less than note 4
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Ugh even worse. I have a 32gb m7 now I kind of wanted 64gb. So disappointed. I guess I can wait for the droid turbo too.

Well, I'm glad I just bought the Nexus 5 now. Thats crazy pricing for a phone thats to big for my personal taste.

Truthfully tho, MY ATT upgrade is in a few months, so I may end up with it anyways. Most ATT phones suck. So I normally get the best the offer, Unlock it, root it, and then Sell it for huge profit and buy my nexus and keep the change..Hmmm Will be an Odd upgrade year coming up.. Lol

Anyone know what that new icon on the bottom is? Is it a new icon for hangouts or is it a completely new messaging app?
[Nexus 6  General] antifocus:
Really disappointed to see the screen is AMOLED as I think the screen in 2014 MotoX is much worse than the screen in Nexus 5, and I think N5 has one of the best screens in smartphones.

So for me, the good things about N6 are

1. Beautiful look.

2. Nexus.

3. Big Battery.

4. Up to date SOC

Downsides are.

1. Way too heavy and big.

2. Major step back screen.(I could be wrong but judging from MotoX I am not so optimistic)

And the downsides are big deals for me, I am really leaning towards getting a Nexus 5 instead.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I think I read on one of the hundreds of articles I read, it could be a new messaging app
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
Anybody think its worth getting a Nexus 5 now?

[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
phone is beautiful but $700 for the 64gb version before taxes and shipping is hotttt

I guess that's why goggle didn't bother to mark down the nexus 5, a lot if people are gonna be buying it since is almost half the price, google a BIG wtf man [emoji52]
[Nexus 6  General] scottharris4:
Of course it is. It's still a pretty good phone. Glad I didn't wait around for the release of the 6 as I'll never even give a thought to buying it at that price and size.
[Nexus 6  General] tweaked:
Pffft, I Just bought one last week. Got it on Friday. Way worth it. got two weeks to return it, so If they drop the price I'll call and tell them to gimmie the difference. Other than that, way worth it.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
Only if they are manufacturing a new batch with some minor updates to build quality, kind of like what they did a few months after the Nexus 5 first came out.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
The T-Mobile model is $649 for the 64gb model, so at least there's that. It supports bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 29, 41 so it'll work on AT&T as well. http://www.tmonews.com/2014/10/t-mobile-and-google-partner-to-launch-nexus-6-guess/
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
Hmm...I might get that then on eBay. Wait for next years Nexus because this years was a disappointment. I gave up the 5 because I was waiting for this one lol and my Nexus 4 is showing its age.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
So far Verizon only and is revealed and released Oct 28th. Only way to get it so far is through contract. Which means I'll loose unlimited data. May as well leave Verizon and just buy the n6.
[Nexus 6  General] konradsa:
So sad! :crying:

I was really looking forward to the Nexus 6, but first the size and now the price have really killed it for me. I didn't want to shell out $600 for an iPhone 6, but I also won't shell out $650 for Nexus 6. I also own a Nexus 7 2013, which is a great device, the new Nexus 9 is similarly overpriced, may as well get an iPad instead.

I don't know what happened. Nexus line was always about cutting the right corners to get a nice device with pure Android experience at a great price. I am pretty sure the other manufacturers like LG, HTC, Samsung, etc. forced Google to do this since the Nexus line was raiding their sales.
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
There's probably no LED notification because of android wear tbh same as why there's no active display that moto are known for
[Nexus 6  General] raze599:
I'm not sure it was actually. We all say that, but really that only was in the LG period with the Nexus 4 and 5. Nexus 7 may have just been priced to match for all we know.
[Nexus 6  General] Venomous Viper 119:
Guys, is the display AMOLED or IPS?
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
There will 100% be a notification light as its a requirement of the Nexus program (just like wireless charging). I remember the Nexus 5 also had no mention of the notification light on the spec page but alas, it was included.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
On pricing, the gravy train had to come to an end. IMHO the Nexus phones have always had a big compromise to get to their low price point. For instance, while the N5 was a great device, it suffered from poor battery life and an awful camera. It looks like Google finally has a Nexus phone that has no compromises at all. Its primary competition is the Note 4 and the iPhone 6+, and both are more expensive than the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] NextNexus:
AMOLED

Display

5.96” AMOLED, 1440x2560, 16:9 aspect ratio, 493 ppi, Corning® Gorilla Glass® 3
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
well the price is silly high so more will hold onto their N5 longer. I got a used N5 32GB last week, I was that guy bidding on ebay, lost the two mint for $270, but won for $280 and its in prefect condition. Wait for Android L bugs to be ironed out and I'll be even better in a few weeks. There are "good" condition N5 for $230 out there.

I also put CM on a $199 Gpad 8.3 and $30 64GB SD so I'm happy with specs for price. 8.3" 16:9 has the same screen size for media as 8.9" 4:3
[Nexus 6  General] Goku80:
sorry but whatever the new nexus 9 is priced at i feel it worth the money specially for the design the processor chip and what you get for it:cool:
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
AMOLED, per Motorola's spec sheet.
[Nexus 6  General] konradsa:
Match what? The Nexus 7 was $229 when a comparable iPad Mini (with Ipad 2 tech, so much worse) was $329.

[Nexus 6  General] kusi:

too much expensive
[Nexus 6  General] Clay:
Well there went that. A die hard Nexus fan lost. A worthless phone and a worthless tablet. A phone that's too big and a tablet with 4:3 ratio, brilliant! Call me what you will, neither of these devices are going to be my future purchases.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
So basically android silver happened...They just called it nexus. I will probably get the 6 and 9. Disappointed that the Player doesn't have Ethernet. WiFi only on a stationary device is dumb. Wasting bandwidth on stationary device is just unnecessary.
[Nexus 6  General] garyHal:
Will any of the Moto Voice and Display features carry over to the Nexus? I am hoping for at least Display since it uses Amoled.
[Nexus 6  General] dannstarr:
I appreciate it's a lot of cash, but after the n5 released last year, I saw sooo many people saying that would pay more for a more premium device, with no corners cut. Here you have it, the top of all specs currently available, nice aluminium body (who's going to say that won't feel premium) latest available software.... go find that somewhere else if you can, and still comes in under the likes of a galaxy note 4 and iphone 6
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
That's what I'm saying. Its an awesome looking beast also.
[Nexus 6  General] DroidDavi:
Its a little high yes but people cried about the short comings of the n4 and n5. At this price it can be a true high end flag ship . I've not signed a contract since before my gnex but I may just so I can get this at a lower price
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Exactly.

People said they wanted premium build!

People said they wanted great battery!

People said they wanted a better camera!

Many wanted AMOLED,

Some wanted water resistant,

Google have added it all, so obviously the price goes up.

I'm disappointed to not see UK pricing though,

I'm guessing £449 / £499

Which is a little bit of a shame, as the card I wanted to use has a £500 limit which means I won't be able to order that one due to Google charging £10 for delivery.

Aaghhhhhhh
[Nexus 6  General] 0ri0n:
Like all devices, you will really want to check it out before you make a quick judgment. Wait til it hits stores for you to play with, then come back. I don't mind paying for premium devices, just hoping that this is not tooooo big. also would have been nice to have a stylus with it with such a large footprint...
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
As for stylus, I have the Note 2. I used the S-Pen for about a week, and found that for me it's one of those things that's a much better idea in theory than in practice. I literally haven't touched it in months.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
I still think the price being higher is due to the fact the hardware is manufactured in the USA.
[Nexus 6  General] Rox598:
the nexus 5 was sold in carphone warehouse last year at the same time as google play and for the same amount so you might be able to get one int here this year swell.

wish there was a 16Gb model I never fill 16gb let alone the OPO's space
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
agreed , this is just the beginning of android silver still with the nexus brand, last true nexus was #5
[Nexus 6  General] mgbotoe:
I'm confused now about what to get ... i was praying for a smaller handset for the nexus 6...but it seem to really stayed true to the numbers after the nexus....nexus 5, 5 inch, nexus 6 6inch...

gush -.- if only was the same size as a g3 width wise
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
My 32gb Nexus 5 is more than enough storage, its just the thought of a bigger one & me wanting it for that useless reason. LOL

[Nexus 6  General] Note10.1Dude:
It won't be for long (assuming it even is right now). Motorola is shutting down the TX plant by the end of the year. They are so overloaded with 2014 Moto X orders at the moment, I sure hope the Nexus is being built someplace else.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
I thought the big draw about the Moto X was that it was built in the US?

Either way, the more I look at all of this, the more I just want to get the Nexus 5 or the Moto X, both of which will receive the 5.0 update.
[Nexus 6  General] Note10.1Dude:
I wish the Droid Turbo hardware were released as the new Nexus. I was waiting on this phone, but as the rumors started to solidify in the last few weeks I ordered a Moto X Pure.

Go Bears (OK, I know you can be in Berkeley and not associated with Cal, but I'm taking a shot at the odds).
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Droid turbo is almost the same hardware. Only Verizon won't sell me it off contract. The turbo also looks odd.
[Nexus 6  General] itasoulas:
I am kinda agree to that. a 4:3 ratio tablet seems wrong to me also. And the price for both...maybe the materials used are truly premium but that's not was Nexus was about. For the time being, Nexus 5 and and Nexus 7 2013 are great devices, more than capable for the average user. I love them both and probably not going to sell them to get something new.
[Nexus 6  General] mgbotoe:
Hahah, I just graduated actually last year :)

GO BEARS!
[Nexus 6  General] Clay:
I have the Nexus 5 since release and its treated me well. I was in disbelief Google would go with such a large phone. Looks like I'll keep my Nexus 5 till something else interesting comes out. Sales will be down and I hope they get the message.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Yikes...

Well, I wasn't the biggest of fan learning it was a 5.9 inch screen (I'm a chick so small hands), but I was going to look past that until...

...The $649 price tag :eek:

T-Mobile no longer subsidizes phones so no contract discount which I don't mind contracts for T-Mobile.

I am really really hoping Google Play will have it for cheaper. While I wouldn't mind paying the $649, I have to get two (perks of being in a relationship :rolleyes:)

For now, My Nexus 5 is working perfect, and just may be my phone for the next year if the price isn't different once it goes on sale on Google, if Google is even selling directly this time! At least I'll get Lollipop soon.
[Nexus 6  General] scottharris4:
I don't like the pricce, but I know they had to charge it for what they are putting out. But my concern is this: is last year's N5 the end of the line for good (but not great), affordable Nexus phones? And will that lead to Motorola eventually doing away with their affordable phones like the Moto X and the Moto G since there will be no other competition? I'll be priced out of the Android phone market then, and the reason I went with Android is because I could get some good phones without having to take out a loan to afford it!

Nexus 6 is great for the people who have that kind of money to be slinging around, but not everyone does.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
I've also had the Nexus 5 since release, actually 3 of them, I've either traded/sold phones since the Nexus 4 came out because I simply get bored with them. The one I've always come back to is the Nexus 5 basically because of the development/build/screen quality.

I'm on the G3 right now, and while it's cool having the 1440p display, what REALLY takes advantage of that resolution anyway, besides some launchers and youtube? There are times I'm playing games on my G3 then go to the N5 and play the same thing and the N5 is so much smoother.

I need to get the Moto X in my hands and see how it feels since I've never owned a motorola product in the past.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
$27.08 per phone on T-Mobile site. Rumored to be 64gb
