I wouldn't say it's a scam you pay high etf not to mention under the old model my bill would stay the same where as when you pay off the phone your bill goes down. Also a benefit--and a curse--is that you can finance multiple phones on your account under the same line.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I don't know why people keep comparing it to the OnePlus One. The two devices aren't even in the same league. The only thing the two have in common is the RAM. Different SOC, different screen, different software, different design and build quality, different companies backing them... I've said it before and I'll keep saying it- the OnePlus One isn't worth a penny more than what it's being sold for. So what if it has a decent SOC and 3gb RAM? Everything else about it is just garbage. I was so excited to get mine and was let down the moment I pulled it out of the box. I feel bad to the person who paid me $100 more for it than what I bought it for, he straight up got ripped off. You couldn't pay me $350 to make that thing my daily driver for a year.
[Nexus 6  General] DrunkFuX666:
Maybe you should give him back the extra $100 ;)

The Nexus6 is a phablet and the specs/price is competitive in the phablet markets...
[Nexus 6  General] ThugEsquire:
Are there any dark horse candidates for manufacturers for a new Nexus, if there will even be one?

Or maybe a GPe of the LG G3?

Every Nexus device before has showcased certain possibilities; they've had wireless charging for two generations. Some variants of the G3 are expected to come with wireless charging; I can only hope that I can get my hands on a GSM G3 with wireless charging or some Nexus equivalent.

I realy like Nexus name. I dont want some silver phone! I want another Nexus! And if they realy make Nexus 6 i hope it will not have 5.5 inch display, its too much.

[Nexus 6  General] droidman89:
My predictions are for N6 snapdragon 801 soc or maybe 64-bit provably the same gpu adreno 330, 3 GB ram, a 2,700mah battery a 10-13 mega pixel OIS camera cause remember google likes to make some sacrifices to cut costs to sell the phone cheap a 5.5 inch 1080 display with maybe a slightly higher PPI density and probably the same matte finish material that the n5 already has oh and of course slightly improved speakers what do y'all think
[Nexus 6  General] neohq:
My brother has N5 and the speakers can be improved a little more.

More ram is always good, camera improvments (more MP etc).

Bigger battery, this one is never enough (LOL).

Otherwise the phone is amazing.
[Nexus 6  General] .jond:
Probably won't get it. Just bought the Nexus 5 a year ago. Nothing wrong with it.

I'll get a new phone when this one dies. They ain't getting any faster...not for real world use. ?
[Nexus 6  General] Dawnut:

Well, I personally think that the Ram won't be pushed any further than 3 GB, maybe only if it's not enough for the 64bit. Google will just throw in the latest snapdragon and some upgraded camera and TA-DA.
[Nexus 6  General] PunchTheLion:
The phone will outlast the battery! :)
[Nexus 6  General] howard bamber:
Dont care. Just sick of rumours caused by journo's trying to justify their stupid jobs. Hope nexus stays. Google needs an independent development device to push latest software too, so it will, whatever name. Ive got all previous nexus phones boxed and put away. There's pple on here were in diapers when the first came out. And some of us, due to age heading back to them! Long live nexus, the iPhone is dead!

Ten min cutoff app.
[Nexus 6  General] yguns76:
My next phone needs to have mottoX voice recognition and battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] Landara:
I would only consider it for the better camera. More MPs doesn't make a better camera though. If it were TRULY better I'd consider it. I have a 4 year old daughter so I take lots of pics. Higher quality would be better. But I wouldn't buy the phone just for that reason. It won't have an SD card slot but that would be another huge selling point if they did it. If it has a flux capacitor I'll pre-order 5 of them!

Guys any idea about the Ambient Display ?

Is it like Moto Active Display ?

I can make it work with 32 gb but 64 is tempting and better resale. Hmm...
[Nexus 6  General] Bjray:
Don't know if this has been posted yet but LOL.
[Nexus 6  General] dr.m0x:
Had the nexus 5 before as well. The OnePlus is a much better device. For starters the battery doesn't die at the end of every day.

I probably will also get a Nexus 6 at some point. I'm just saying that it's twice the price of the OnePlus and isn't twice the phone.

Mmm bacon

[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
It is very big for my hands. I like Droid Turbo more for its better cam, smaller screen, kevlar, bigger battery. Nexus 6 price is okay imo. Nexus 6 price is Not expensive nor a steal like the previous LG nexus 4 & 5 for 350$.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
1. Says "coming soon"

2. 64gb is $699 !

3. Apparently you order the same model for all carriers.

Questions

Orientation of front speakers? Portrait or landscape?
[Nexus 6  General] M.Noury:
Most probably landscape
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea that's odd. The nexus 6 site by Google says order yours and then shows the carriers which will be buttons when it's available. But it also has one for the play store.

Yet the play store doesn't tell you which carrier. I guess you select that after check out and maybe you can select unlocked edition. I'm gonna leave Verizon so I hope that's the case..that I can order one that will work with att or tmobile mvno's.

[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Are you guys that are getting the nexus 6 going for 32 gb or 64?

I have about 16gb left now in my m7 and I only store some music, roms, and backups.

Also, what's the best way to preorder stay up the night before the 29th and try as soon as the button is clickable?
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
im not sure if this photo was posted i just found it randomly on twitter.

This phone is Georgeous, hands down. Im liking the midnight blue even more than black. I held the new moto x and note 4 today and i loved the way the moto x felt compared to the blockyness off the note 4. Build quality is legit as per usual of motorola. The moto x was MUCH smoother than the note 4. Must be Touchwiz lol;)
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I disagree completely. On paper the OPO is the better device but in execution... Not a chance. Sure it has better battery life but that's about all it has going for it- it takes a lot more than good battery life to make a good smartphone. OnePlus cut so many corners to get the phone out there so cheap, and it shows with overall lack of quality and polish. I think they just took a rejected OPPO design, slapped a new logo on it, and shipped it out.

As far as the N6 not being "twice the phone" is concerned... how do you quantify that? The N6 is a completely different beast and has at least a step up on the OPO with every bullet point. Every other current flagship on the market is twice the price of the OPO, but nobody is crying that they are overpriced. People are just spoiled because the N5 was so cheap, and now the OPO as well... So all of a sudden everyone thinks that flagship phones should be under $500. Sorry, it doesn't work that way. The N5 and OPO are the exceptions, not the rule. Plus, both came with compromises in order to reach their low price points. If you compare the N6 and its pricing to every other flagship out there, it has better specs for a cheaper price. So with that in mind I think the N6 is a bargain.

[Nexus 6  General] dr.m0x:
By your own standards, the opo is better than the nexus 5 by every bullet point. I'm struggling to see what's poor about the build quality. I guess some people just have a perception that if somethings cheap it must be of poor quality. Where they slumped is in marketing, the device is good.

Still though this thread is about the nexus 6. I am going to buy it even though it's a totally unnecessary purchase. The only thing that I'll be able to do on it, that I can't on the OnePlus is text in the shower.

Can we expect review units to be sent out prior to release date? I'd like to get some solid info on this thing before I decide whether or not I should get a Note 4 instead.

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------

Both phones are at 100% brightness (seen @ :40), but the N6 looks somewhat less vibrant/bright... thoughts?

EDIT: The Note 4 is also capable of getting much brighter (brightness boost for outdoors) when set to auto-brightness. Anandtech's review shows a manual brightness of 331 nits and auto of 462 nits. I doubt the N6 will do the same.

I like that the radio supports lte carrier aggregation, from carriers that provide it. Such as att. The s5 and m8 are the only other two I know of that do. Atm.
[Nexus 6  General] stevew84:
The nexus 6 in the comparison video is a pre release model, which is obvious due to the black moto logo. Also mentions the screen is IPS when obviously it's amoled

I also found this one, not NEARLY as good as the last one i posted but really gives an idea for the size of this BEAST:good:

Im not sure who any of the above people actually are lol, i found it on twitter with hashtag #nexus6

Found this too...even though weve seen lots of similar ones
[Nexus 6  General] JaZart:
Has it been confirmed whether or not the phone has a notification LED? This is a huge deal to me.
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
Also spigen has released a couiple cases for the nexus 6... cant decide if i should get one. Might just get a squaretrade warranty and go with NO CASE! Anyone else have experience with square trade reviews seem to be VERY good.

[Nexus 6  General] ricey1986:
Seen someone on twitter confirm no LED but has a type of active screen implementation, I'll see if I can find the post and link it
[Nexus 6  General] JaZart:
Welp thats a desk breaker for me...
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
I agree it does suck but it will not be a deal breaker for me. My s4 has a multicolored LED and my Galaxy Nexus befote that had a big led. I did use them often to know when i had a text message. The active screen will be cool, im glad its included but im the type of person who wants to get maximum battery life. I disable auto sync and always have power saving mode on my s4(just lower cpu speed). I have a galaxy gear now plan on selling it and my s4 picking up nexus and an android wear device which will help with notification alert.. They should have added an led. However im not mad at them for it.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
That's one thing I've liked about androids. Oh well at least active display is nice. I've never tried that. I think this will save some battery. Sometimes my notification light bothers me on my current phone.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Surely some L version ofactive display is of more use? I mean its not a Clamshell lol. I mean I was one of those people who waited until a phone had the LED (and then multicoloured LED) confirmed before setting my heart on it but until I see a Hands On I'm not going against buying it.
[Nexus 6  General] JaZart:
Active display isn't more useful. With colored LED you can just glance at your phone and know what the notification is for. It also keeps flashing unlike active display which times out.
[Nexus 6  General] wtherrell:
Wow! A "desk breaker". Didn't realize it was that heavy!
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
But we haven't seen what they have done. It could be coloured it could flash it could be anything, I just need to see it.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
It could be like the moto x unless they are implemented differently in lollipop.
[Nexus 6  General] JaZart:
True but I'm very skeptical... Ugh.
[Nexus 6  General] pedxing:
I've been a nexus 5 user and have never had a large phone like the note but I did a test over the last couple of days: when using my nexus 5 one handed, what was I doing exactly?

The answer is this:

80% scrolling with a thumb flick

5% using nav buttons on the bottom third of the screen.

10% using Swype style typing on the bottom third of the screen.

5% clicking links in articles

I'd say 50% of my usage is two handed any way.

So assuming my thumb can reach the opposite side of the bottom third of the screen, the nexus 6 would be one hand usable for nearly all of my current one hand use cases.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
Active display IS more useful because instead of flashing a different color for different notifications, it actually shows you the icon for the notification so you know exactly what it is. And it doesn't really timeout- the display keeps "breathing", showing you the notifications. And if you look at the phone when the screen is off, all you have to do is move the phone a bit and active notifications will come on. Having them on my Moto X was amazing, and made it very difficult to pick up a phone that didn't have them. I would much rather have active notifications than an LED.

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

But the N5 isn't twice the price of the OPO, and you're not complaining about how big a ripoff it is. I agree that the OPO has a better SOC, more RAM, and a bigger battery, but when you put it all together what you are left with is a mediocre device with decent specs. The N5 is more than the sum of its parts and the only problem with it is poor battery life, but even that can be mitigated if you set your phone up properly. I never have a problem making it through a full day on my N5 and I'm on it all the time.

And I don't think the OPO has poor build quality because it was cheap. The N5 was cheap and aside from the bland design, it has great build quality. No, I think the OPO has poor build quality because it does. It feels like just a bunch of pieces sloppily glued together to make a phone- it doesn't feel like a unified device where all the pieces (physical and software) fit perfectly together. It doesn't feel cohesive. From all the hype I actually did expect it to have superior build quality but I was let down immediately. I'm a tough one to please.
[Nexus 6  General] Coronado is dead:
Well an icon isn't as informative to me. With a multi color led I use different colors for different accounts. Since I use 4 gmail accounts that's very helpful, where as an icon would not be.

Also, is anyone using active display worried about burnin? I know it flashes, bit my RAZR M which uses amoled has burnin in places like the status bar and navigation area.

Also, I know its really just uneven decay and not burn, but the effect is similar and no one ever seems to know what I mean unless I call it burnin, lol.

[Nexus 6  General] Cheater912:
I'm bummed to hear there may be no multicolor LED, but having Android Wear makes up for that.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
The people complaining about the OnePlus, saying 'doesn't feel like the sum of its part', 'doesn't feel cohesive', 'not unified' etc etc sound EXACTLY like Apple fans making fun of Android. Its all purely subjective with no actual evidence, and its all personal opinion.

My colleague at work got a One+ 64GB, I find it to be an amazing value with great hw and sw. Oppo have given us an amazing phone and all they get is insults because they don't have the money to spend on advertising or extra manufacturing capacity, hence the invite system etc.

There is no need to drag it down, its a great phone and so is the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
If it had faster updates I would be owning one right now
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
It's a good phone but if it didn't have a yellow band and customer service didn't take 8 days to reply with a canned email response then I would have kept mine.

The active display does not just fade away. You set in settings when you want active display to sleep, for example...11pm to 6am. I don't mind having it versus a led.

And if you have different email accounts you hold the notification that lights up and it shows you which email it is from.
[Nexus 6  General] dr.m0x:
You don't necessarily need two hands for any of the phablets I've had. I've learned how to move your palm up and down the device to reach the notification area if I ever have to one hand it. I still prefer two hands, but can comfortably do one hand in a pinch.

Mmm bacon
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
2 hands are safer and more comfortable. I'm not using my phone while driving, eating etc so there's very few occasions when I have only 1 hand free. I've seen the same thing watching most other people.

What I really wish is for Android to add voice control in other apps. e.g. in gmail/sms, when you finish composing, saying 'send/discard' is much faster than having to hit a button.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
It's not that I'm dragging it down, it's just when people use the price point of the OPO as a means to argue that the N6 is over priced, a little perspective is required. It certainly is a great device for the price, but shouldn't be used as the de-facto standard when it comes to smartphone pricing that some people seem to be using it as.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
The point is that its possible to make a high end phone for $300. Oppo does it, many Chinese oem's (Xiaomi etc) do it. Someone might think they are not premium products and lack 'quality' but that's subjective.

If people think the Google/Motorola brand name plus better QA is worth $300, that's fine. To some people, actually lots of people, that means overpriced. Most phones sold by the big names are overpriced. The Nexus 6 is another one, and in fact comparatively its pretty good value.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

e.g. Xiaomi Mi4 - http://www.xiaomishop.com/130-xiaomi-mi4-quad-core-16gb-64gb-smartphone.html

Phone with these specs sold in US would be at least $600. Xiaomi is premium, in both hw and sw, in fact their OS MIUI is the nicest one you can use.

[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
I agree. Tired of these opo versus n6 posts. The opo is still invite only and has a buggy os. The nexus 6 will be available to purchase without an invite and the price is justified.
[Nexus 6  General] SupaSwag:
Sure, it's possible to make a phone with that price point. Basically selling it at the same price it costs to manufacture. That's an unrealistic expectation. Also, don't compare the very competitive Chinese smartphone market to others around the world. Xiaomi is a privately owned company...same as OnePlus. So basically they can do whatever they want without needing to worry about shareholder expectations. Other OEMs though need to keep shareholders happy by making a nice profit on each product they sell. If you're upset about the price that's fine. Not everyone has at least 650 to burn or doesn't want to sign another contract. To argue that smartphones should be priced at or around cost to manufacture is dumb. You gotta take into account shipping, advertising, and a bunch of other aspects that go into making a device before it gets into your hands.

Sent from my LG G3
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Exactly. So the opo comparison needs to stop. Two different phones in two leagues of their own. One is invite only and the other is available everywhere.
