These pictures do not make it any lighter than the renders. If anything these look far darker than the renders do.
[Nexus 6  General] tietherope:
I guess the problem is that this is supposed to be white?
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
From which news are these photos?
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Looks amazing! That white is sexy. :victory:

[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
It's a silvery white.... I like it. This might be my first white phone.
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
I wouldn't get too excited just yet with the verge saying they like camera, they've said that pretty every time with a new Nexus, with the classic "it's an improvement over last year's" which is a given tbh
[Nexus 6  General] knarfl1:
lulz. Was going to say the same.

Hoping 2yr contract price for att will be ~$50 as rumored.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Hmm, seeing the pics, I'm leaning toward the white version.
[Nexus 6  General] Master Ramy:
Good video, very short but helps give a rough idea, looks like a few websites were invited to Mountain view today to play with the phone lightly...tech crunch seems to like the camera as well, though nothing about photo quality...
[Nexus 6  General] chazglenn3:
Shut up and take my money!
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Will be getting a white version as long as I can get the right time to preorder.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Honestly, Verge doesn't deserve these hands on exclusives. They are extremely Apple biased and the guy couldn't be less enthusiastic about the Nexus, it took him 3 words to mention Apple. I'd rather a site like Android Police which has done a great service for all Android fans get a chance, rather than Verge who are guaranteed to give it a bad review compared to the iPhone.
[Nexus 6  General] fictionoid:
Given the choice, I would like a review from a source less likely to give a favorable review than one that is major advocate. I want to know what is the worst that could be said.
[Nexus 6  General] garyHal:
ArsTechnica

[Nexus 6  General] droidguy22:
Yeah if that source is unbiased and honest, everyone knows Verge site is a iSucker and will be biased..
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Am I the only one doing a Google search 10 times a day to find out when Verizon is gonna announce the N6 and if it truly has an unlocked bootloader or not.... Lol
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Somewhere a roomful of fat cat Verizon execs are laughing evilly as they read this. Everyone wants to know the answer!
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
I agree but sometimes it's helpful, especially from the consumer standpoint, to hear negative and biased review against the product you want to buy.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
The only bad looking thing on this phone, is the glossy black front....
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Agreed. I hate gloss
[Nexus 6  General] elementaldragon:
True... but then again, it's kinda hard to make something with a matte front, and yet cover it with glass. I guess they COULD make the bits under the glass textured.... but then you also run into the fact that the adhesive used would probably negate any kind of matte-ing effect created. They could do some sort of frosted glass frame or something around the screen covering the bezel... but i'm not sure how that'd feel in the hand or against the face.

Long story short.... it's usually black and shiny to try to make it look like there's no screen at all when the screen is off.

As for the color of the "blue" one.... judging by the fact that it's actually called "Midnight Blue", i can't imagine it being an easy color to get a proper representation of in a picture. It's probably more of just a deep, deep, DEEP navy blue, and the metal frame has a slight tint of blue IIRC from the pics of it.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
The only thing i need to know is, if the white version feature the exactly same materials as the blue one! the white Nexus 5 felt terrible in hand compared to the black.

Edit,

Second hands on :good:

[Nexus 6  General] lyrical1278:
Definitely holding on to my month to month until this comes out..
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Glass is glossy lol. What non-glossy phones exist?
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
What i meant was the bezels......they look kinda ugly with that glossy look.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Oh ok. Tbh the bezels aren't really too bad. The Nexus 6 has a decent screen to body ratio. Actually, I kind of like the way the light reflects off the sides especially since it has curved glass on the edges similar to the iPhone 6.

[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Is it just me or does she keep saying "Nexsix 6" towards the end?

Good find though!
[Nexus 6  General] joshm.1219:
lmao, I didn't hear that before but now that's all I hear :p
[Nexus 6  General] pemz82:
Clearly not an Android user, she's tapping away all over the place trying to show the interface/camera looks like she has no idea what she is doing.

All good to see these quick hands on videos though
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Many in the forums here have said it will be one phone that we buy and will work on any carrier. There are two version a north America nexus XT1103 and global XT1100 and the global version has no cdma bands plus some of the other bands are different.

If what you said was true then Verizon would have their own version too like they do with other phones.
[Nexus 6  General] Pilz:
I didn't need to see a video hands on to know I'm buying this beast but it looks so beautiful :)

It's a Nexus year for me, I can't wait for a premium Nexus phablet and its not even that big. I can't wait to see the look on peoples faces when you use it or when someone with a 6 plus realizes that you have .5 in more of screen and its the same size phone give or take. Bring on the lollipop powered Nexus!

I hope the camera can match up to my G3 because this thing takes excellent pictures.
[Nexus 6  General] Schoat333:
Clearly an iOS user. Keeps pressing home instead of back.
[Nexus 6  General] mallman:
LOL, indeed she was
[Nexus 6  General] npro1464:
I still have to wait to hold it in my hand. Even though the physical size might not be that much bigger than the iPhone 6 Plus or Note 4 , wielding the extra screen real estate might be too difficult.

New Photos from Wired Article

Article here if you want to read it. Nothing new to read other than the fact that the N6 has "Knock Screen to Wake" like the N9 does. http://www.wired.com/2014/10/hands-on-with-lollipop-and-nexus/
[Nexus 6  General] ggreenwood334:
I have a problem. I constantly check for new hands on videos. And royals win game 2
[Nexus 6  General] Semantics:
That M on the back is disgusting looking.
[Nexus 6  General] awareunlikeu:
Nope, you are certainly not alone my friend
[Nexus 6  General] joshm.1219:
I wouldn't go as far as disgusting, but's it's a Design 101 no-no to have the logo and text oriented differently. Should've just replaced the M with a Huawei-style fingerprint scanner
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
What are you guys talking about? the M looks fantastic! i'm just sad, it doesn't have an inner ring in different color, like silver, or lighter black for contrast.
[Nexus 6  General] faisal777:
Can't wait to get my hands on one.. When is it coming to India?Does anyone know about the display picture quality, how it would be compared to note 4!
[Nexus 6  General] Jayrod1980:
Actually it's been said that the close up photo with the Moto M that almost looks like a sticker is yet another prototype. The pictures from Imgur from the T-Mobile employees show that the phone does not have a different color inside the dimple area. It has a silver M just like the silver text for "NEXUS."
[Nexus 6  General] charesa39:
YES! I was waiting for confirmation on that. I LOVE that feature on my wife's G3. I had assumed it would have it since the N9 had it, but it's great to hear that my assumption has been validated.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
So, Saturday I will be heading up to NYC and I plan on passing by the Google office there. If I am able to visit the place do you think they will have the New Nexus devices in some of their offices already?

Regardless if so or not I am still hoping to visit the office. Since they have a Glass workshop inside I am hoping on getting it tweaked by them.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
As far as I know only approved media outlets were/are able to test a Nexus 6 with strict conditions (e.g. limited time with phone and banned from using certain phone features). If you do get a glimpse or hold of the phone please post what it feels like to hold (I'm concerned with the thickness) and also the quality of the screen compared with the iPhone 6+ and Note 4 (if you are able to compare it to these). The thickness and screen quality are my biggest concerns; the camera is also a huge concern for me as all past Nexus phones have been below average (cameras).
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
There has to be someone in there that has one. It may be for testing or other purposes and they may not allow it to be public but if you do see it available I would also be interested in your thoughts on it. Same as above how does it feel to hold and screen quality. I don't use the camera much so that isn't a big concern.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
I have already done sizing before with the GSN4 before as well as the iP6+ and the GFlex, If I get one in my hands I will be able to compare easily. That said from my understanding if Google has Moto's ergonomic design team working with this I am sure this thing will be a beauty to hold in comparison. As for Screen I will be sure to see how well the blacks and vibrant colours are. I will be sure to make quite a few mental notes.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

If there is any NDA on it I will be quite forward with me signing one as well as long as I get to see it.

That said I am just hoping its not too restrictive. I just want to be able to talk about it more on the personal experience level and not the news outlet bare minimum of news level.
[Nexus 6  General] Marcellus1:
So, while most of the press with their hands-on time reported that they were not allowed to open any of the folders or apps on the device, somehow it seems someone did and took a picture of it, as shown in this G+ post by Rohan Blake: https://plus.google.com/112916475696290577960/posts/HmTGK2YySMF

Here are the images:

[IMG="Nexus 6"]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/--p9kPfy6G0I/VEqEx78d8rI/AAAAAAACF4s/qK18CFfrdqg/w560-h629-no/Screenshot%2B2014-10-24%2Bat%2B12.45.35%2BPM.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Nexus 9"]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-G1IpquOmWLg/VEqExyUonJI/AAAAAAACF4o/A5xNC3Lx2EU/w782-h439-no/Screenshot%2B2014-10-24%2Bat%2B12.51.20%2BPM.png[/IMG]

A couple of interesting things here is that on both devices you can see a Volta app, and on the Nexus 9 you can see a Smith Launcher app, which Rohan suggests is for multi-window.

Anyone have any additional info on any of this?
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
I've been playing with it for the past couple of days. The phone is great! The only downside (in my opinion) is the screen size. It's hard for me to hold it in one hand.
[Nexus 6  General] Master Ramy:
You have the nexus? Photos of it please?, especially metal trim, and full res photos taken with it? Impressions? Information?
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
THIS!

Please post as many pictures as quickly as you can!
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Does it have 4 mics or 3?

How would you rate the screen from 1 to 10, and compared to what?

How is the sound? distortion, clarity? loudness?

Do you have the white or the blue version? (how is the feel on the back rubber like or plastic like?)

Thanks and please answer!
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
http://postimg.org/image/6nac70zwv/This is the best shot i can get with the metal trim.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Sorry to spam, but please if you can answer me questions :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
Okay, I'll give some more details for a inbox invite. :D
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
I'm really sorry my friend, but atm i'm on 8 years old phone as a backup until i get my Nexus 6, i really hope someone will give you an invite and you can help me (us?) with answering the questions :P
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
I'll answer one. The mics seem to be hidden. There's no holes indicating a mic anywhere. I think they put them all in the front facing speakers.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Thanks so much :D

Hopefully other users can send you an invite and you can answer few more :good::silly:

BTW any info on the price (for eu?) :(
[Nexus 6  General] ballaz:
What email should I send it to? PM me
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
you have a nexus 6, and you want an invite for what, opo? I'm confused [emoji1]
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
Google Inbox is invitation only and isn't preloaded on any devices yet.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
STOP TALKING ABOUT INBOX FFS, no one gives a **** about it.

If you have a nexus 6 can you tell us if it has any notification lights ? I.E a Charging light ? or does the display "Breath" for things like that ?
[Nexus 6  General] ballaz:
Being hostile or demanding is not going to net us any new information on the phone. Let's see what information he can provide. I tried to get him an invite, but my inbox profile is not giving me the option to send out any invites currently.
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
Got it... The back is a hard plastic. (Not soft to the touch)

No LED light. It uses ambient display. Similar to motos active display, but it doesn't breath. It shows you your notification on a black screen when it comes in and also when the phone is picked up.

The screen is great except in the sunlight at certain viewing angles.
[Nexus 6  General] rohanblade:
if am not wrong you have blue nexus 6, can you upload few pix please:good:
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
Also the front speakers are a nice touch to the nexus (phone) line.
[Nexus 6  General] jcarlm:
If you have the Blue Nexus.... What is the true color of the metal trim on the phone? Blue Grey, Blue, Dark Grey, with all the images/render it is truly hard to tell the color of the trim. The trim color on the blue Nexus is one of the reason I want the white.
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
Blue grey
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Please bro, how is the sound? and compared to what? loud? clear? :good:

I'm sorry i really cant stop asking :D

How would you compared the display to the other phones you got? :)
[Nexus 6  General] dtroup64:
rjd- how did you get a phone to play with?
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
Lets not go there he might run into some issues :(

rjd0717, how is the camera? can you compare it with something? what are your thoughts on it?
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
is the nexus logo on the back printed? likely to wear off? or indented like the nexus 5?

Sorry might as well join the questioning lol
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
Last round: speakers are great reminds me a lot of the htc one.

Haven't played with the camera. (Been enjoying android L too much.

Its indented like the n5 but has like a mirrored filling inside. Doesn't look like it can wear off.
[Nexus 6  General] dazed1:
:good: :highfive:

*uck yeah!

Thanks so much, please one last question! :D

How is the reception/wi-fi/lte signal? (compared to your previous phones) thanks alot bro!

Edit, i cant thank you anymore, limited to 8 thanks per day LOL.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Can you do some battery screen on time tests with simple web browsing/tapatalk etc? The peanut gallery is anxious. :)
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Is an inbox invite still needed for more information/pictures? Because I might still have an invite left.

As for me, I was in NYC yesterday but sadly Google' NYC office was not open that day. (An oversight, they are not open on weekends apparently). That said I did spot a lot of Times Square's new Android advertisements. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-...O3KpVlaY/w881-h647-no/20141025_155629_660.jpg
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
If you decide to share that invite, I'd be interested and grateful.

G3
[Nexus 6  General] floepie:
How's the display? Is it similar to the S5 or a little yellowish like the Moto X?
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
come on man spill the beans, or you are trolling us with a moto x 2014 [emoji51]
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
His post with this picture http://postimg.org/image/6nac70zwv/ Seems to be accurate enough with placement of the buttons on the side and the blue trim.

I do not think he is trolling, but I do think his NDA is restricting him. I just really want to see how well the Midnight Blue Model looks and how the screen is. (Among other things).
[Nexus 6  General] raazman:
I love that thin looking edge despite the 10mm thickness :)
[Nexus 6  General] Hero_Guy:
Can you post sample pics from it please? I really want to see the camera quality.
[Nexus 6  General] tmhiott:
Could you verify the fact that it has double tap to wake?
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
So the trim is blueish grey? Not good news!

Can you post some pictures of the back with a better camera (pretty please)?
[Nexus 6  General] anuraj1:
If [MENTION=4783664]rjd0717[/MENTION] still needs and Inbox invite, I'm happy to send one.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Is there an app he can run that will post specifics about things like audio processor model, screen manufacturer and type, etc...? Or are we gonna have to wait for iFixit to tear one down?
[Nexus 6  General] lightenLhar:
Z-Device test should provide a bunch of information in the respect.

Question:

Does this feel like a true premium phone, battery life, everything? Nexus 5 felt alot like a gimped G2 with a stock ROM on it, and I've been wondering if this is as good as it gets or if Motorola (only respectable OEM ROMs out there) is going to blast it out of the water in 2 weeks with a better OEM version.
[Nexus 6  General] Langduscher:
AMOLED & screen burn in is what I'm worried about. The screen burn in on my Gnex was ridiculously annoying.
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
Can you confirm if the device has double tap to wake?
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
It was confirmed in one of these other threads. I don't remember which one though.
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
It has only been confirmed by one user IIRC, but confirmed that it does not have it by more than one. It'd be nice to have additional confirmation that it does.
[Nexus 6  General] Hero_Guy:
Dude just wanted an Inbox invite smh
[Nexus 6  General] nexus6R3plicant:
Amoled hasn't had problems since like the galaxy s3
[Nexus 6  General] midan:
It is a Lollipop futures
[Nexus 6  General] brian117:
Sorry but bribing people for an Inbox invite and in return give answers is low. If I had access to the device before launch I would upload as many *cough*HI-RES*cough* pictures as I could because that's what this community is about. I would never ask for something in return. Having the reputation of being the first one to provide every detail would be my reward. Not sure why you think otherwise. I'm sure somebody has given you an invite by now so don't let these people down.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Side from the inbox invite he probably has an NDA he can't break , hence fuzzy pic and vague answers
[Nexus 6  General] raazman:
Can I get a source for that please?
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
And I understand "YOUR" opinion, but you act as i havent shared anything.
[Nexus 6  General] raazman:
That's the point though, he can upload pictures anonymously.
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
And that still can be tracked
[Nexus 6  General] :
Can you do a youtube test with a video that plays left and right sounds to see if the front speakers are truly stereo?
[Nexus 6  General] raazman:
True. I guess we're all just really anxious. I just want to know if I really want to commit to the Nexus 6.

But you have to know the Nexus community, including Reddit, thought that was pretty low to ask of like that and disappear. Just saying.
[Nexus 6  General] brian117:
Fuzzy or not, that still broke the NDA. More than likely there are to be no photos taken of the device and then shared if that's the case. That's like rule number one for an NDA of this nature. Sounds like he was planning on going against the NDA anyways once he got his precious invite.

Your "sharing" is extremely vague and not even what people are wanting to know. Do them all a favor and screenshot every detail via Z-DeviceTest. Or does that require 5 invites? I could care less about having answers. I have the patience to wait until legitimate sources get the phone and release the details. I'm just trying to get you to help the other people in this thread.
[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
I'm sure there is a good reason(legally, or affecting one's employment) why he can't share certain specifics. I actually had an invite left for inbox so I sent it his way. He's been more than happy to answer my questions via pm about the device. This community is also not about flaming people, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] pnnorth:
Even if he does have an N6, which I have my doubts about, I have very little interest in anything he has to say about it. What sort of person tries to hold a forum to ransom for a poxy inbox invite.

I'll wait for the views of someone with a bit more integrity.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I don't even care if they are stereo. My wife has the One M8 and he said it was similar sounding to it. That's good enough and an upgrade to my Note 3 or the Note 4. No more cupping my hand to deflect the sound towards me instead of blasting those around me....
[Nexus 6  General] :
Ok...? That was directed towards the Nexus 6 owner if it wasn't clear enough.
[Nexus 6  General] brian117:
This is the point I was trying to get across. Don't say you have the device and then provide little to no information about it which you probably just gathered from already released information.
[Nexus 6  General] iil:
Yes but only if the device supports it.

The Nexus 9 page explicitly states it supports Double tap to wake. The Nexus 6 page does not also the hands on. The hands on from Ars states "Just pick up the Nexus 9, tap twice on the screen, and it turns on. It's one of the nicest OEM features you can have on a device, and we wish Google would have built it into the Nexus 6, too."

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014...nd-nexus-9-googles-shot-at-premium-flagships/
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
And the picture wasn't enoug? I'll just let the forum waot until the release date!
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
He is just an attention seeker. He says photos can be tracked and thats why he doesnt want to post lots of pics.. he has already posted one which is enough to be tracked (if you can be tracked that is)

He is just leading people on with small bits of information that is already known by the community.

People like this shouldn't be fed by us.

Any community member would release tons of photos and details that we don't know of yet.

We should just ignore him.
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
I answered all the questions asked of me when i was taking questions.
[Nexus 6  General] pnnorth:
Don't feed the troll
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
send them pics through Tor browser, there's no way google is going to take the trouble to trace that, I think the guy's trolling haha have a nexus 6 but is looking for an inbox invite? u wot m8? [emoji1]
[Nexus 6  General] rjd0717:
yeah ignore and ban me! I answred the questioned asked of me when i was taking questions. And the people saying they would release every single detail... Thats probably the reason you dont have the device. Admin please subspend my account.
