New material design Playstore out today just in time for the new releases and N6 being announced next week :)
[Nexus 6  General] BioSoiD:
Or between Nexus 6, HTC M8 and OnePlus One? :crying:
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Thought I'd try a little vote on G+ to test the new feature...

After 500 votes, the majority would indeed buy a 5.9" Nexus. :)
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Maybe we can convert enough of the maybes lol. I have a feeling a lot of people, much like myself, will come around and eventually get the phone. I know lots of people who said the Nexus 5 was 'too big' but look at it now..
[Nexus 6  General] meangreenie:
5.9 inches!!! no way I'm buying that.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I have a feeling it won't be much bigger than the one plus one. Or as big as the iPhone 6+ perhaps a bit smaller. I'm hoping. Because if it really is 5.9 inches I really can't buy it and use it like a phone. What is the return policy anyway if you get it from the Google store?
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
You get a week for a full refund and then after that it's a year for replacement device if it has any issues that are factory issues like battery or camera not screen breaking warranty kind of stuff.
[Nexus 6  General] khaledgomgoma:
Dat article is useful :

http://www.knowyourmobile.com/devic...7/nexus-6-release-date-price-specs-benchmarks
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
If that's the case I'll order one as soon as it's available and if it really is bigger than the one plus one I'll send it back and probably go with the xperia z3 on Verizon or moto x since I'd have to leave Verizon anyway if I do keep the nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] lombardo8:
I wasn't going to buy the N5. I would have done on launch date if I really liked it. I only bought it cause my N4 gave up the ghost 14 months after buying it on launch date.

The thing I hated most about the N5 was the unequal bezels at the top and the bottom. Even If my N5 gives up the ghost, I wont be buying a 5.9" device.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I debated the Nexus 4 and 5, but each had too many compromises for me. From what I can see, the Nexus 6 will be the perfect replacement for my aging Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
[Nexus 6  General] Jimlarck:
Looking at the Droid Turbo. Would much rather have that as the base of the new Nexus. I mean, a 2k device at 5.2 inches. Anyway, I'm being too hopeful. A Nexus looking Droid Turbo would be great (hate the droid turbo look, reminds me of 2011 devices, and capacitive buttons are a step back)
[Nexus 6  General] blablub44:
Im gonna pass on the upcoming generation - hopefully a battery breakthrough is on the horizon by the next one.
[Nexus 6  General] tweaked:
My N4 fell a week ago and the digitizer went insane. So, I needed a phone. N5 it is. I got it yesterday. Its cool. Its as big as a phone can be for me. I have 14 days to return. So, I'll look at the N6, but I don't think I'm interested in a 6 inch phone. I already have the n7. /shrug
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
An article I read from here recently said the nexus 6 is not bigger than the note 4. So it really shouldn't be any bigger although the nexus 6 has a bigger screen than the note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
When you include the capacitative buttons on the Note series, the 6 inch screen of the Nexus 6 (which includes the on-screen buttons) won't effectively be any larger.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Well the article mentioned the screen on the nexus looked larger. Since the nexus also doesn't have an actual home button, the capacitive buttons hopefully won't take up too much space anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
The N6 will have Motorola's fast charge. 15-30min for a full charge.
[Nexus 6  General] racerxe24:
I wonder if it will have wireless charging.... I really love that about the N5.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
I'm interested to see if it will have that rear fingerprint scanner.

If so, the N6 may be the first smartphone I actually protect. LOL

Pin codes & swiping dot patterns are too much hassle for me. :)
[Nexus 6  General] garyHal:
Amoled? [fingers crossed]
[Nexus 6  General] tweaked:
I never owned a note. It was to big, plus I only buy nexus at this point. While they look cool, I want a phone to conveniently carry. If I want to carry something inconvient I'll take my n7.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
The same leakers who claim they seen the N6 don't mention it. They only mention the same as Moto X power charging features.

The N5 needed it more as it was poor battery so Qi useful to keep topping-up without plugging-in.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea I'm going to wait and see how the reviews go. I really need a new phone and at this point is either wait for Verizon to get the xperia z3 or leave Verizon and get a Moto x. I'm tired of my HTC one m7.
[Nexus 6  General] racerxe24:
While I understand that reasoning. It is still a nice feature to have. I don't have to worry about breaking anything off in my phone with wireless charging. It is a very nice convenience to have. I wish more phones had it.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
That's pretty much impossible. Also i love how people like fast charge, all it does on phones is destroying the battery, i'm trying to find a way to SLOW it down actually.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Yes that will happen. Here's the stacked up set of data points.

Nexus 5 vs Moto X

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5705&idPhone2=6649

Same 2300mah battery. Battery life improved by 19%

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Our-...t-is-done-and-the-results-aint-pretty_id60564

That's due to power drain improvement 800 vs 801, and despite a slightly bigger screen to produce light.

The 805 will be a further improvement, and 808 due next year will improve a further 30%

Android L's Project Volta will improve power efficiency, early tests already showing 36% increase, this will come to Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 and the next Nexus 5.

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014...ta-we-put-android-l-through-our-battery-test/

If you stack these up, I'd expect a 2015 Nexus 5 to be about double battery life of 2013 Nexus 5, 18 months apart tech.

Right now in late 2014, the "brute force" method is simply bigger phone which can house simply bigger battery, the 808 64bit next year will be the chipset to invest in, that next phone will be on 64bit Android, this Nexus 6 is the end-of-line last 32bit.

[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
15mins for 8hrs of battery life*

This isn't 8hrs of use.
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
My choice just got harder... The Lg G3 has been "unlocked"(by pass) with twrp support for all variants. Now i must remain patient for this nexus which i know will be a better phone.:p

Sorry i may have made some peoples choice difficult LOL
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Most exciting time of the year on XDA anticipating the new Nexus launch day! :)
[Nexus 6  General] Radixtrator:
I thought the G3 really profits from lg software, doesn't it? Still, development will probably be horrible... Or at least not great
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
Highlight of the year :)
[Nexus 6  General] floepie:
Hey, it turns out the N6 will be a smaller ~ 5" phone after all. The CPU-Z leak confirms this. They indicate the device, which in this case, is referred to as the shamu device. The screenshot clearly shows a dpi of 560. This is much too high for a 6" device, even with a resolution of 2392x1440.

If you simply plug in the numbers, you wind up with a roughly 5" device, similar to the Moto X, not anywhere near a 6" device.

2392/560 = 4.27"

1440/560 = 2.57"

And, using the good ol' pythagorean's theorem, you wind up with roughly 5" diagonal.

There you have it.

This confirms my previous calculations using screen scaling in Chrome in comparison to a previously leaked photo of shamu.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55781021&postcount=1359
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
dpi |= ppi. You could theoretically be correct, but we don't know that from the data provided.

Wow I'll be disappointed if it's a 5 inch phone!
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
I posted something similar earlier; however, DPI =/= PPI. If they were the same, this device would be a 4.99 (~5) inch device but I don't think that will be the case.
[Nexus 6  General] kingston73:
Sorry, you didn't confirm anything. Nobody will know what size it is until Google decides to tell us. I think there's a good chance it'll be like apple and have 2 different sizes.
[Nexus 6  General] Slicktune:
I've been saying 5.2 for the longest, my friends works at Google and already told me it's going to be 5.2

He just sent me a selfie
[Nexus 6  General] 350Rocket:
I think most people will be happy if it's 5" but I doubt it will be.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
lol @ pepple grasping at straws hoping for a smaller screen size, Jerry Hildenbrand from AC actually saw the device in person, it is a 6 incher folks, stop being in denial
[Nexus 6  General] -A-P-M-:
I really hope it will be 5.2" - I would buy it as soon as possible. If it is 5.9", I will skip it for sure.
[Nexus 6  General] thacounty:
If this is true, and he really did confirm that. You probably just got him fired.
[Nexus 6  General] BungleMX:
I have a google t-shirt too, :victory:
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Either way I don't think it will be bigger than the one plus one or iPhone 6+. For all the specs it has it will be an awesome phone. But I too am skeptical about the size. If it's too big for my liking I'll return it.
[Nexus 6  General] MiNoOo:
if it is QHD which is ( 2560 x 1440 )

then the diagonal = L^2 = 2560^2 + 1440^2 => L= 2937

divide this number by PPI ( 560 ) it gives us the screen size = 5.2 inches

:)
[Nexus 6  General] Kushblow:
I came back from a two year hiatus just for this. Bring on the much needed screen real estate, baby.
[Nexus 6  General] DT84:
The same guy who posted the CPU-Z screenshot said the phone was about the size of a Galaxy Note.
[Nexus 6  General] vincentallen2:
PPI ≠ DPI

Once you look at the DPI, you would see that it's a 5.9inch screen. You can change the PPI on any android device.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
Keep in mind that a 5.9" screen with on-screen buttons is roughly the same size as a 5.5" screen plus a set of capacitative buttons underneath it. So the overall phone size would be similar to a Note 4 or iPhone 6+.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea I'll be fine if it's like a note 4. But the iPhone 6+ is a bit too tall. I did get used to the one plus one after a few days. I'm eagerly waiting the announcement and I'll probably order one as soon as I can. Much better than the support from one plus for sure. I returned that damn phone because the bottom half of my screen was yellow.
[Nexus 6  General] floepie:
You can change the DPI. PPI always remains constant.

[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Is it released yet......!!

6" or whatever idc I'm ready for "the" Nexus.

Has anything been rumored about colors yet or are we just getting black?
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I think so far it's just standard black.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Black is fine, just wondered, thanks
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I expect it will be revealed end of this month probably Oct 31..from there I wonder how soon we can order one.
[Nexus 6  General] Venomous Viper 119:
5.25" with AMOLED (AMOLED if at all Google thinks of implementing active display & always listening) & active display feature from the Motorola combined with the SoC 805 with 2800mAh battery is the sweet spot for me!
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Why? I keep mine in a case anyway which decides the dominant colour. I got yesterday my mint used N5 for $280 and it's black but I put it in the red Spigen slim ultrafit I got for my earlier red N5.

FYI I videoed my thumb length problem with bigger than N5 compared to OnePlusOne for any N5 owners wondering what a bigger phone is real world like.

[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
I havent used an lg phone since my lg shine before the good ol android days. I know it has tap to wake which is possible on asop i believe with some kernel changes. Guess ill have to see. Id rather go with android L right from the box.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
Tap to wake on something which is intended to go into a pocket? You either have to tune sensitivity low so it doesn't works slick or you find it coming on in pocket.

I have the option on my N5 with elementalX kernel and I don't enable. Its a default with CM on OnePlusOne and I disabled it. I have it enabled on my Gpad 8.3 CM11M11+Redkernel.
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
My nexus 5 gained dust behind lens Google said we cannot replace as no stock, only red version :(

Or you can have full refund. Ermm yes please.

Roll on nexus 6 I will be buying whatever size it is. N5 easily the best phone I have ever had!!

Back to my HTC one x until then, still quite good :cool:
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
I have an s4 right now and imake sure my screen is facing outwards when in my pocket out of habit. Ive now disabled the stupid home button to wake my device. Before I disabled the home button with xposed my only option was to keep phone outwards or my screen would come on in pocket.

I like tap to awake(had it on my galaxy nexus) because my phone sits on my desk alot. If your phone is facing outwards i dont see how it would come on. Although i did notice a little bit of a battery drain when using it.
[Nexus 6  General] Langduscher:
Jusr read another rumour concerning price: £ 450 (€ 570 or $ 723)

That's steep for a Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
An article in wallstreet journal suggests the starting price will be $420 for 32gb and $450 for a 64gb model. I don't think it will cost as much as an off contract iPhone 6.
[Nexus 6  General] dicecuber:
$450 + taxes +shipping = almost $600

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
More like around 525.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Well I'm in the US and tax is 8% here where I live. Looking at $450+ 36 tax + ~15 to ship? Somewhere around $500 which is less than buying a phone out right from Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] dicecuber:
Then customs fees outside of US :D

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
I won't pay more than $500 give or take a 20, based on principal alone.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Why not?

People in the states always pay too little for their phones compared to everyone else....

The 32gb Nexus 5 cost me £349/$560 in the UK.

& this is considered a great price.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Compared to an iPhone or for example a note 4 which out of contract here is about $600, I think their starting price for unlocked off contract is decent. I paid $360 for a one plus one in total and if the bottom of my screen had not been yellow I would have kept it.
[Nexus 6  General] sbslammer:
The new Droid turbo looks amazing specwise, esp with that huge 3900mah battery. Realistically I think there's a good chance the n6 is based off of it. If you think back the n4 was essentially a reskinned/rebodied Optimus g, and the n5 internally was quite similar to the g2.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Some people don't use cases or cases that are very minimalistic not covering parts of the front or top and bottom or buttons, so color would matter to those people. Doesn't really matter to me per se, was curious.
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
I'll just go to t mobile and pick it up. Don't care what size, as long as its bigger. With my jump upgrades, I could change again in 6 months if a 64 bit version came our.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Does anyone know if you can get the N6 in NYC at Google where they sell google glass?
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I don't see why not but you would need to wait until it's in stock and show up early. Not sure if they will have preorders.
[Nexus 6  General] Stigga:
Gotcha I will try to find out more details. When n5 came out (literally an hour within being announced) how long was shipping on google play? Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Shouldn't take more than 2-3 days depending on what they offer. This will be my first Google play order too so I'm not familiar with their shipping options. Hope they announce it this week since they are announcing their new tablets.
[Nexus 6  General] Batfink33:
In the UK last year, the day the N5 was announced I went into my local mobile shop and asked if they were getting it in stock. They said they had already received their stock and it would be onsale the next day. Launches like that are fantastic unlike the awful Note 4 "a month and a half" later.
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Mine came in a few days FedEx last year.
[Nexus 6  General] Langduscher:
As for availability; I hope Google does like with the N5 (and not the N4 fiasco)
[Nexus 6  General] meangreenie:
oh the memories!!! sold out in about 20 seconds lol.. hordes of angry posters on xda
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
From what I've been reading it seems like it will be announced soon, hopefully next week then available by November. I would like to at least have an option to preorder it.
[Nexus 6  General] Duffmantp:
I can't wait for final confirm specs. I'm really hoping for a 5.2" version. Is between this and moto x 2014. And I really liked playing with the moto. I want to dump Samsung, but I will SD slot.
[Nexus 6  General] BuzzFuzz:
Yeah, me too.. If screen around 5.2" than yes..

otherwise i don't know what to buy. Moto X, Droid Turbo... have no idea. Just want to change stupid Asus Zefone 5 coz makes me nerv.

I broke the screen on Nexus 5 and now I feel like I'm lost... don't know how to describe :rolleyes:

BTW, a bit offtopic, is Droid Turbo US makret only? Have no idea about Motorola lines?
[Nexus 6  General] kornklown69:
lol i had my browser open made sure credit card info was current and as soon as page was up bought it went faaaaast
[Nexus 6  General] Sentrix27:
Droid Turbo should be US (Verizon) only, and there is an identical model that passed through the FCC earlier this week. It'll go by a different name, and will likely be for AT&T/T-Mobile.

[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I just checked out the new Moto X for the first time and holy hell, it's hands down the nicest Android phone I've ever held. I might not even wait for the Nexus 6 now, probably just going to order the Pure Edition and call it a day. It's the perfect size, feels amazing in the hand, and has all the wonderful Motorola flourishes that the N6 won't have. Plus, the Pure edition has an unlockable bootloader so as far as I'm concerned, it's as good as a Nexus. Damn is it nice.
[Nexus 6  General] BuzzFuzz:
Want pure edition too. Hope release comes soon...
[Nexus 6  General] El Daddy:
I agree, the new Moto X is an awesome phone. I bought my wife one and she loves it.

If the nexus 6 is indeed just a bigger Moto X, I will be very happy.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
When is the moto x pure edition being sold?
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
Big battery life warning though....

Droid life struggled to see beyond 2hrs SOT in their daily testing & even Leo at the TWIT network was moaning of bad battery & he's been a Moto X user for the past year.

[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I hope I'll be able to order a nexus when its available..my company blocks most websites so I'd hope I'll be able to pre order or order one soon so they don't sell out.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Use your phone? That's how I ordered the N5. I was driving and kept refreshing the page and the moment it went live I pulled off to the shoulder and completed my order.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yup that's what ill have to do if it's blocked. Really want to leave Verizon and change from this m7..love the phone but getting bored of it and it's starting to show age after so many roms installed and such.
[Nexus 6  General] nigelhealy:
So the Moto X 2014 and Nexus 5 have the same 2300mah battery and +/- similar relative battery life. The average of the above ratio (0.97, 0.87, 1.49, 1.09) is Moto X is 11% more battery life.

Whilst bad battery life is one thing, if its balanced with wireless charging you can keep on top of demand for many situations like having it at a work desk. N5 has Qi, Moto X not, N6 is a bigger Moto X then not.

I've read two sites and they are saying 32gb $420 and $450 for 64 gb. Another said $450 for standard and $499 for the 64gb model. I'm leaning toward it being $449 and $499.
[Nexus 6  General] GaSpartacus:
i was hoping for 450 max (shipping included, i live in europe by the way)...might be a deal breaker if it´s more. Let´s wait and hope

[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
One was wallstreet journal article and the other was know your mobile..posted a couple pages back in this thread.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Honestly $500 for a 64 GB with amazing specs and pure Android is a great deal. Not as much of a steal as the OnePlus One but nothing else really competes with those prices. Not to mention it doesn't have the ****ty customer service of OnePlus and all of those bugs.

I'm more than willing to pay $500 for this phone; although, I will probably wait for reviews and comparisons before buying.
