All the haters are crazy. N6 looks awesome.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
As opposed to every other top device that has a single speaker facing away from you? This was one of the boxes that had to be ticked for my new phone.
[Nexus 6  General] da_hool:
Nexus 6 can't come fast enough! Put me out of my misery! Sold my old Galaxy Nexus (yes that's right) in anticipation for this and I'm using a crappy BlackBerry Curve I borrowed as a temp.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Just got a chance to watch it on my TV, holy hell it looks beautiful.

Also, they really did have nothing bad to say in this video. Very surprising to say the least! I hope we get more video/pictures of the device soon!
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
Yeah it looks da business. I certainly can't wait till the 29th. Hopefully this is an indication of more reviews and indepth vids to come, because this slow trickle of info is killing me slowly
[Nexus 6  General] istrikerx:
Having them facing you is pointless if the sound is extremely tinny. Hence my concern.

There is very little space for those speakers under that small bezel. They look very similar to my Moto G, which is quite worrisome for a premium device. The top speaker is nearly always more audible than the bottom one too. This was the case in the Moto G, and is also the case with the Xperia Z2 and Z3 as well.

Then again, with the wider chassis, it will hopefully have a bit more oomph.
[Nexus 6  General] stankyou:
"Feels way better in the hand than I expected"

This is the one thing I was delighted to hear from the video. Hopefully we'll hear more comments like this before it gets released.

More in between than either fully. Looks the same color as the old s3 bezel to me.

Hey guys,

Let's relax a bit. This should be the best time of the year. Sharing excitement with others the few weeks leading up to the next Nexus launch. At least it is for me!

Instead of arguing with each other, we could be discussing how many times you are going to press F5 per minute on the 29th. :)

Let's cherish this time before the phone comes out and this section turns into a OMGZ this sucks or that sucks. :-p

[Nexus 6  General] Master Ramy:
If that's as light of a color as the bezel will be, I think it looks great!! Look at the bezel in the photo with the guys face and nose right above it, looks good!
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
I think he was also worried about the prototype Identifier being shown (A Moto "M" usually at the upper left corner surrounded by a circle is a Prototype Identifier) the Circle itself is printed uniquely per prototype for easy identification if said device is leaked in photos. You can find plenty of Proto Moto devices having this ID in previous leaks and sure enough the people showing said devices have been Disciplined/Terminated by Moto.
[Nexus 6  General] charlie_cc:
Wow, terminated, Moto really take their NDAs seriously :)

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

will samsung unlock the 64bit potential of the exynos note 4 with lollipop update or will it be dormant. .?
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
They void out each other. Like taking vitamins and smoking. Lol

G3
[Nexus 6  General] clothednblack:
Almost identical lol
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Lollipop is 64 bit capable AFAIK, but the 805 SoC is not. When they release the 810 it will be 64 bit capable too. You're gonna probably have to ask in the International forums once they split these up since most people are talking about the US version.
[Nexus 6  General] jmkhenka:
What does it matter really. 64-bit would just give you a performance hit (ie, slower) and not really gain anything. I dont know why people is whining about that part at all, it's not as if the phone will stop working or refuse future upgrades.

On windows/pc the 32 vs 64 is more relevant due to available RAM and that is also a platform you can upgrade beyond the initial xx gb.
[Nexus 6  General] kk12002:
it's about future compatibility. .and hearing that your device is not eligible for an update. .
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Lollipop was never meant to primarily focus on 64-bit, only that Google was intending to test the waters of 64-bit Android starting with Lollipop. At its current state 64-bit Lollipop is very limited.

As much as this will likely also shock you, despite the Nexus 9 having a 64-bit processor (The K1) it will be running the 32-bit version of Lollipop in 32-bit emulation mode of the processor. Neither Nexus is ready for 64-bit right now.

Also, Google would not outright cut support for their own OS due to the eventual move to 64-bit. No tech based company would make such a foolish move. Plus OEM's will likely not take the advantage of 64-bit Android for ages after we officially see the first genuine Nexus device able to run 64-bit Android.

[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
It looks sooooo thin! - proof that you can't just go off the 10.1mm specification of the 'thickest' part of the phone.

3.8mm at its thinnest & it looks it!

One seriously sexy phone. :)

Midnight blue is definitely coming my way! (Currently waiting for my OnePlus delivery too for the niece lol)
[Nexus 6  General] joshua.justice:
Photo shop over that logo/black it out?
[Nexus 6  General] oneplus:
makes big difference because when you spend $750 on a smartphone you expect it not to be outdated in 5 months ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
You realize that 64 bit makes zero difference to anything on phones in real life...don't you?
[Nexus 6  General] altimax98:
Not even close to 5 months. It'll be 3 or more years before you see the inability for backwards compatibility. Apple has shipped it's x64 chip for over a year now and it's requiring new apps to be written in 64bit starting in Jan. Even with that requirement it will still be fully backwards compatible for years to come.

With the slow pace of Android apps to update combined with heavy fragmentation it'll probably be even longer for the major app players utilize anything x64 offers. Some of the smaller devs may be a bit quicker to utilize the benefits earlier. Just like with Windows, the move towards 64 bit is slow and steady. 64 bit started with XP and didn't really hit mainstream until mid cycle windows 7.

Don't worry about 64bit changes affecting the Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] oneplus:
I know that. Most people around here though upgrade phones just because they want latest specs and not because they really notice any differences. Anyways nonsense conversation. We all know we will get this phone, no matter what :D
[Nexus 6  General] dwd3885:
you do? any smartphone is outdated in a month. doesn't mean it still won't be great though
[Nexus 6  General] jmkhenka:
If this is what you belive, then mister you don't know what you are talking about or what 32/64 is all about.

They will not drop support for 32 bit ever. Well, not never, but not in the next 10-20 years.

The phone will not stop getting updates because of 32-bit cpu.

And 32-bit architecture will NOT be a problem in any way in the future because there is no way the hardware in the phone will be upgraded anyway. On a PC it is limiting for many reasons mainly memory allocation. But the phone only has 3 GB ram and can never be upgraded. Also, singel applications - even on modern x64 platforms, almost never gets limited by memory anyway. There is some edge-cases, but then there is other ways to get around those "problems".

Dalvik/art dont care if you have 32 or 64 bit.

The only way you are EvER going to get limited by 32-bit is for the "cool" factor of your friends but in neither benchmarks or real life tests 32-bit will make a difference. It's not like you write applications for the architecture anyway on android due to JIT. On windows a 64 bit app will not start on 32 bit system but this is not the case on android.

[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Outdated doesn't mean the phone stops working. Its perfectly possible that Snapdragon 810 brings radical improvements to performance, battery life etc due to 20nm process, ARM v8, other improvements. 801/805 are minor, 810 is a true next gen chip. And L's true potential will be realized in a 64-bit SoC.

No one said support for 32 bit is getting dropped. But lets not deny that 64-bit will be a huge jump and its a few short months away.
[Nexus 6  General] kk12002:
so why is the Droid turbo not the new nexus..lt beats the nexus 6 in each dept. it's made by Motorola. ..what gives..another google blunder..
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
guys the Nexus 6 was not going to be a 5 inch phone because that's the spot of Motorola's flagship the Moto x 2014, last year LG G2 got a sales hit across the board because of the nexus 5 being basically a clone of it. Manufacturers partnered into the Nexus program with Google are not going make the same mistake

We've said before that we will happily live with a 10mm device if it had a huge battery but 3,220mAh doesn't sound like all that much. Especially when the thinner Vibe Z2 Pro and Mate7 have 4,000-4,100mAh batteries. Again, expectations are proportional to the price tag.

Gsmarena.

http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_nexus_6-review-1158.php
[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Well ever though they say that I'm pretty sure the battery will be great. The notes have great batteries and when car phone warehouse did the comparison they said they both have equally amazing batteries. Plus with the turbo charger and the software optimizations I think we can easily get a day out of this and the next as well. It would be great if it could get 10 hours of screen on time but with a qhd screen I'm guessing 8 hours will be what it has which still isnt bad. Nexus 5 we were lucky to get 5 hours max maybe 6

[Nexus 6  General] alangrig:
Well, that's really improper information.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
from the article above

"And the sound quality from the Nexus 6 front mounted stereo speakers is excellent. The speakers are at the top and bottom of the phone, which means they’re left and right with as much separation as possible when the phone is held in landscape position. With the volume cranked all the way up, I could hear it well from anywhere in an average-sized living room without significant distortion. It’s one of the few phones I would consider listening to without headphones."

There was another article where the reviewer also said they sound very loud, that they remind him of the HTC One M8 sound just not quite as good on the low end range, that the HTC had fuller range...something to that effect......same trend though, nobody has said they sound bad, sound tinny, sound weak, or sound like a single speaker you have to deflect with your hand to hear...lol

also this guy who claims to actually have the phone already

"They aren't exactly on the same level as HTC's BoomSound on the M8, but they're*definitely passable".
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Sounds good to me. One guy calls them not exactly on the same level as the One M8 but passable, the others are saying excellent, good, loud and reminds them of the One M8.....

Whats the problem here?
[Nexus 6  General] alangrig:
Well, expecting same quality like M7 or M8, cause N6 is in top league now, and for a such price I do expect decent front speakers audio quality. Unfortunately, in accordance with Android police first impression speakers have distortion at high volume in high frequencies and lacks low frequency.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
It is a phone. Of course it lacks bass. Need I say, it is a phone?

You're not going to get low-end extension out of a phone with the onboard speakers. You just won't. Simple physics.
[Nexus 6  General] alangrig:
Well , at least something.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Except the One M8 is a lesser device in every other way.....the real comparison is to the other flagship devices being released in this relevant period. Namely the Note 4 and Droid Turbo.....both of which are severely lacking compared to the N6. I'm currently cupping my hand around my Note 3 to get decent sound directed at, you know, the user......been having to do that since the Fascinate......im over it. When the Note 4 rumors started I said if I can get my Note 3 with improvements to signal and dual frotn facing speakers like my wifes One M8 then I'd likely bite. They let me down hard. A pair of front facing speakers with even "passable" sound is fine by me.
[Nexus 6  General] alangrig:
Do agree in this case
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
+1

Anyone who's owned a Moto X or Moto X (2014) knows that the speakers are quite good. Move them to the front and make it stereo instead of mono... I can definitely live with that.

Problem with judging such things is that:

A) You know what colorspace the camera shot it (EXIF data), but you don't know how accurate the captured color is

2) You don't know how/if the author processed the image in what colorspace on their machine...and unless they are a photog odds are they were using a cheap uncalibrated TN with awful colors.

III) You don't know if you web browser you are viewing said images with is accurately using the color profile information...presuming it was accurate in the first place

&) You own monitor is most likely completely wacked in it's color output...even presuming that the first 3 are not issues.

As such the only way to be sure of color is to hold the device in your hand.
