Congratulations on the Nexus 6!

Very surprised that about 10gigs of the memory is used though out of the box. I would've thought that it would be about 5 maximum since 5.0 is supposed to be lighter and more streamlined. I might have over thought this though. But still, caught me by surprise.

Also the fact that the screen is not as bright as the old Note 3 is a bit concerning...
[Nexus 6  General] trunks527:
Did you already have a nano sim?
[Nexus 6  General] toyfreak:
Yes, this happens randomly to my N6. Annoying...

Also, the Garmin Pilot app crashes faithfully every time the map loads.

The Note 3’s is extremely bright. According to DisplayMate’s testing, the Note 3 is 55 percent brighter than the Note 2 and 25 percent brighter than the Galaxy S4. The Note 3 performs better than or comparable to “most LCD displays in this size class”. With Automatic Brightness on, the Note 3’s display reaches an impressive 660 cd/m2, which is the highest value that DisplayMate ever recorded. For comparison, the iPhone 5, long considered a standard in display quality, outputs 600 cd/m2.
[Nexus 6  General] sireniankyle:
does the camera have slo mo? If so, is it 120 or 240, and does it record audio? I doubt it does, but I can still hope.
[Nexus 6  General] SteveISU:
No slow mo.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
Anyone else notice a yellow tint to the screen?
[Nexus 6  General] Fasty12:
Yep compared to my one plus one the whites are very yellow, max brightness also pale in comparison. Im absolutely gutted right now.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
You are even comparing it to the same phone that i am. I love the size of this thing and it is really fast and nice. I am just hoping that it is like the yellow band that some ppl had on the OPO and that it goes away with time. Not sure though since it is the entire screen
[Nexus 6  General] markwebb:
Wow...not sounding good. Perhaps a few "lemons" were sent out? Oh my...am nervous as I await mine.

Btw, I used to live in Mt. Laurel area. :)
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
So, being a full year+ newer than the Note 3, why doesn't the Nexus 6 have at least a comparably bright screen? Even if Samsung keep the latest tech of screen to themselves, why couldn't they at least tweak the Note 3 screen - improve not just colour accuracy but vibrancy and brightness? The fact the Note 3 has higher brightness compared to the Nexus 6 is a bit tragic.

Lower brightness even compared to the Note 3 + widely reported 'good' but 'not great' vibrancy means this may well be a lackluster screen.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
I have a feeling that nothing is wrong and it may just be the way the software it set. It isn't the worst thing, just not perfect, that's all. Definitely not bad enough for me to return it. But if others don't have the yellow tint then i will def get a new one, haha.

I really like this area. I grew up outside of Philly and this area is definitely better in my opinion. I will be here for 3 years and then who knows!
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Hmm yellow band never went away with my opo. Is it across the whole screen or near the bottom. Now I'm worried. It's the only reason I returned my opo and tried everything from uv light, sunlight, never went away.
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
Oh come on, the Nexus 6 screen is better than the 2014 Moto X... which was voted best phone of the year by pretty much every publication. If you need a better screen than that then you're just looking for bragging rights.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
Mine doesn't have the yellow band so fortunately I didn't have to deal with that. Honestly, i can't even tell if it is more that it is yellow or if i am just more used to screens that tend to be a little more on the blue side....or if i am just trying to rationalize and not be upset.
[Nexus 6  General] markwebb:
Hey, don't pick on my 2014 Moto X: I like this phone. Personally, I don't like overly bright screen and its screen is fine with me, either with or without Adaptive Display on. :)
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
My opo was yellow on the bottom and when reading text or articles it would show yellow on the bottom and white on top.

I've had mostly htc phones so I'm used to the blue white that they produce. Weird because in video reviews of the nexus 6 I didn't see any yellow on the screen.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
One thing i noticed is that when i turn the brightness all the way up it mostly goes away. I generally keep my screen at about 30% brightness and I'm sure in yr reviews they have it all the way up
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Hmm it must be the screen that way then. When I did that with the opo the yellow band on bottom would seem to almost go away but sometimes it was worse. I usually keep my brightness at 40-45%.

If I really notice it then my nexus 6 will be going back. Oh man I need a new phone and if I return it I have no clue what to get.
[Nexus 6  General] Acrono:
Yes, I did, hence it was very painless.
[Nexus 6  General] slammer1:
What's nexus screen brightness vs moto x 2014? Currenty own moto x, and like the screen.
[Nexus 6  General] mountainman15:
According to Anandtech, the 2014 Moto X has a max brightness of 242 Nits vs. 258 for the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
thanks for giving us info on first impressions. I didn't read the whole thread but the turbo charging feature isn't a linear charge rate. The lower the battery the faster it charges and it progressively tapers off. I'd be interested to see a charge for 15 minutes from say less than 10% charge initially. Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
I hear you. I, like pretty much everyone on this site, have been very much anticipating this phone and have no idea what else I would get. Part of me thinks it is software because there was a yellow tint issue with both the nexus 4 and nexus 5. Either way, it isn't the worst so I will see if it is really an issue or just something I need to get used to since it is simply different from what I am used to. Attached is an example of the N6 (left) next to my OPO (right).

Edit: on my phone it was turned... N6 (top) and OPO (bottom)
[Nexus 6  General] KerryWood34:
All of this reading of yellow screens has reminded me of something. I am a videophile and have calibrated many of my own TVs and once TVs are calibrated to 6500K, the whites can appear a bit yellow. This makes me wonder if phones with slightly more yellow whites are simply better calibrated and people just think that whites have to be perfectly white....hmmm....
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I would be surprised if we didn't get some awesome dev who doesn't figure out how to adjust the display charateristics if it's just a matter of it being tuned to the warm side from the factory... wonder if supercurio has or is getting a N6. He did amazing things with older devices
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
That is exactly what I was thinking too. I dont necessarily think anything is wrong but only time and other people's impressions will tell.

Agreed, that is why I am hesitant to RMA so quickly since it might be that way intentionally. But to get more attention on the potential issue I made a thread for it on the main page to see what people think.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Many screens are unnaturally blueish....because perception is bluer whites are whiter. Look at vehicle headlight bulbs. Standard halogens actually provide more usable light, and the blue tinted "hyper white" bulbs while more appealing to the eye actually provide less usable light. That's why the intensity being measured in "nits" doesn't bother me at all. I will try it out in various conditions. If it works right, it works. Despite "nits". I have seen it described by initial owners as being more......flat.....more.....e-ink like a kindle. If thats the case I like it. Less glaring wasted light and more actual usable light with less eye strain.
[Nexus 6  General] Ballastatuz:
You'll be fine bro. Probably just has a warmer calibration. Google will probably correct it if it is that way. I remember with the nexus 4 it was like that franco fixed it in his kernel but then google released. Don't look for flaws or over think it. Just try the phone out when you get it and enjoy it.
[Nexus 6  General] dkotoric:
I thought every phone was yellow for a week or so until the glue melts, I know we had the same discussion with nexus 5 last yr

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea I hope your right. As long as long as there is no yellow ribbon on the bottom like the opo. I should have mine next week. If the whole screen is yellow and does not go away that can be adjusted with a kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] Ballastatuz:
I can't wait for mine. I ordered a 64 white from the third preorder. I can't wait to use it. I originally sagged a 32 blue but just thought if i'm spending 700 might as well go all the way. Right now I'm on a nexus 4. I got lollipop and it is great and i can't wait to experience it on the 6.
[Nexus 6  General] TheBenzinator:
Can you run chess benchmark by downloading free droidfish chess app, set to 4 threads and from main screen and initial board position run Analysis for a minute and post knps number?
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
At 30%, is it good? No yellow or pink thing?
[Nexus 6  General] freddienux:
When did you pre-order N6?

Team Blackout/Liquid Smooth N5
[Nexus 6  General] moparman:
It looks like Nexus is a bit on the warm side, and the Oppo i blue, sky high on the other side.

Its the same with tv in store, they have torch mode to lure in buyers.

Its a trick to make white look "whiter"
[Nexus 6  General] noxaro:
Gratz...64 gb...sweet...

Can you post battery life impressions....3g/lte always on?
[Nexus 6  General] aznalan15:
I believe they said turbo chargin only works when you are under a certain % ie 20%
[Nexus 6  General] arcanexvi:
It's more like 60% but yeah. It slows down as it charges. It supports multiple outputs so it'll rapid charge the initial amount and scale it back as it goes along. IIRC there are 3-4 output settings on the turbo charger depending on battery level.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
You already got your N6? I wanted to try it again but it seems no one has gotten a demo unit in yet in the Cherry Hill area (which is driving me crazy if they do not get any stock in today, or if they are just lying and not want to bring out the demo unit yet).
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
Yeah, it got delivered yesterday direct from Motorola. If you go to the T-Mobile on route 130 in Willingboro they have a demo unit. It wasn't out on Sunday but if you ask they will get it from the back and let you try it out
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
That just looks like it's calibrated to a warmer tint (yellow or red) vs a cooler tint (blue). I'll be curious to see it in person to know for sure.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
I guess if Cherry Hill fails me today I will try out there!

It looks not so much yellow to me than it does look pink/salmon-ish colour.

I believe its likely calibration and not any sort of adhesive/production issue (such as the OPO and the Nexus 4 had). That makes re calibration easy when display controls make their way out soon.
[Nexus 6  General] das boot:
I did the same last night. Unfortunately, the demo unit at the Willingboro store was dead and I didn't have the time to wait for them to charge it. The first thing that really stood out to me was the width. It feels very comfortable in the hand, but it is definitely wider than any phone I've held before. The second thing I noticed was the phenomenal build quality.
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
Agreed, both the build quality and width are nice. And a nice thing about the wide screen is you finally have three icons across without having to do any modifying.
[Nexus 6  General] droidguy22:
I haven't used the phone for full day yet, but here is my impression about battery:

yesterday I measured - with 25% battery usage i got 5 hours phone time with 1 hour screen on time

- Phone is on Verizon LTE with Very ggod signal

- Screen brightness set to Adaptive brightness

- Ambient display off

- sync off (Gmail, calender etc..)

- Used Pandora for about 40min, browsed internet for 40 min, GPS/maps for 1hr 15 min

I have a feeling that for my usage - N6 would give me 20 hours phone time with 4+ hours screen on time, I think this is pretty good for a QHD 5" screen phone and probably comparable with Note 4.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
So I hear Verizon won't give you a nano SIM so I ordered a nano to micro adapter and I'm going to go to a third party Verizon store to get a nano SIM and activate it on my HTC one M7
[Nexus 6  General] droidguy22:
See my screen below, to me the screen looks fine no yellow tint or yellow band in the bottom:
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Fairly certain it wouldn't show up in screenshots anyway....
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
I am pretty sure a screen shot will not show it even if it is there due to the fact that it is likely a software feature. You would have to do what i did and take a picture with it next to another phone.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
It won't show (even if it is yellow) on a screenshot. You would have to take a picture with a perfectly color calibrated camera and every single person on every single type of display would have to have their displays perfectly color calibrated. Easiest way would be to see your phone in person which would be impossible unless you wanted to invite us all over for a screen viewing :p
[Nexus 6  General] droidguy22:
ok, got it. In any case to my eyes the screen looks very natural (not bluish or yellowish or pinkish etc..), I have used many phones (S3, Note 2, Note 3, G2, M8..) to distinguish between a natural screen vs tinted screen.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
lmao are you for real?
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
He didn't know cut him some slack. Not everyone on this forum are technology gurus
[Nexus 6  General] bholyk:
At this point i agree with you. After using this thing for almost 24 hours it now looks white to me with some other screens i look at looking very blue. For example, the $1000 monitors that i use at work to read echo's on look exactly the same as the phones screen but the $100 monitors that i use for the report look a lot more blue tinged.
[Nexus 6  General] Qbancelli:
Exactly what I experienced when I tested it Saturday.

I'm praying that the one coming to me right now it is not like that.

Or I will have to return it.
[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
Just got mine a few hours ago haven't really had much time to play with it. One thing I noticed the initial system update is pretty sizable 191mb. Also I was able to unlock the bootloader without checking the option in developer settings. It works in any case even without it.

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Edit: I also noticed, the power control widget is missing, at least I don't see with GNL.
[Nexus 6  General] air2k57:
How is everything on Verizon? I am pretty sure I am getting it tomorrow from T-mobile to use on Verizon. Data works good? Voice quality good?
[Nexus 6  General] Aoude.:
It's there on my N4 running 5.0. Between Play Store and Settings Shortcut.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Verizon will not give you a nano SIM card if you don't have one but if you have one activated already you should be good. The phone is not in their system so even those who got it from play store or Motorola could not get it active in store for the free SIM.
[Nexus 6  General] air2k57:
Yea, I've heard that and it is fine. I have the 6+ on the line right now that is being sold.
[Nexus 6  General] noxaro:
hmm. decent i think...i need to see more of this, pls post more stats on battery life...most reviews say it's decent, not even good..

now i use my 2012 nexus 7 3G for net, hard to carry around but i get around 4 - 4.5 screen on time on 3G, mostly gmail, browsing
[Nexus 6  General] JermaNoiD:
Thanks for using the same wallpaper between the two. People keep comparing that same Nexus 6 wallpaper with that obnoxiously loud stock Note 4 wallpaper. Of course the Nexus 6 looks dark compared to that lol.
[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
Yeah its there on my N5 running 5.0, but dont see it on the N6, weird, unless they removed it?
[Nexus 6  General] F4M0U569:
You don't have to be a geek to know that. Even my 10 years old cousin thinks it is funny
[Nexus 6  General] Aoude.:
My settings version is 5.0-1576899, maybe you should compare it with your n6 and n5?
[Nexus 6  General] mangordi89:
Anyway to test Slimport or MHL?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
Could we get some videos of the nexus 6 opening apps versus another phone to see launch times?
[Nexus 6  General] leemsami:
Hold up? Sorry I'm confused, so I can buy the T-Mobile nexus 6 and use it on verizon. I already have the service with Verizon.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
The Nexus 6 has all of the bands for all of the carriers built into it. They will work on any carrier. For Verizon though you need to already have a nano SIM because they aren't activating new ones for the phone since it's not in their system yet.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Or take his existing micro sim and trim down to nano size, stick it in and go.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Yeah I've done that before too just because it was a weekend and didn't feel like driving out to an at&t store lol
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Here are my thoughts:

+Lollipop

+Battery better than N5

+Screen quality seems nice

+More smooth than my Nexus 9

+No bloat!

+Easy bootloader unlock

-Vol/Power button location

-Quickcharge not even close to 15min. More like 50min to quickcharge.

Easily a 9.5/10
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
Did you try the quick charge with the phone off? I believe that's the one stipulation to it is the phone has to be off. I read that elsewhere so I could be wrong.
[Nexus 6  General] leemsami:
One more question, what the difference between the one on tmobile and Google play/motorola? Sorry so many questions, I ordered on the motorola site and my delivery date is 12/2. If I could get one tomorrow, I will cancel that order.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
If that is the case that is very misleading. When I read that (and I assume most people) it means to me that once my battery is low, I can plug it in and after 15mins get 6 hours of battery life. Sounds great.

Nobody will want to turn off their phone, plug it in for 15 minutes to get a charge, then take it and boot it up again. It is a hassle. And a big hassle. Nobody likes resetting a device/computer (especially one that takes ages to boot). From reviews the Nexus 6 takes over 1 minute to boot up....not a long amount of time in the grand scheme of things, but a very big pain in the ass for people.

If it takes 50 minutes to get a decent charge out of the phone whilst on...I might as well use the iPhone or Note 4. After 30 minutes on the charge, both get over 7 hours of use. (Hell my mother who has screen-on about 4-5 hours a day charges her phone once every twoish days).

My mother has the 6+ and my brother the Note 4 so I can occasionally see their usage.
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
No differents, all the same.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
No I did not. But 50 min charge is pretty great too
[Nexus 6  General] adbFreedom:
The claim is that if your device's battery is extremely low, you can use the turbo charger to get an additional 6hrs of use. That does not mean the device will be charged to 100% more like plug it in at 1% and get to 35% in 15 minutes. I am also extremely happy with the N6, I have not experienced any of the reported issues that some reviews did (ex: lag/poor battery or camera)

There is no difference between one purchased from T-mo and one from Play/Moto
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Really happy to hear your battery is good and the camera is good. But curious, what is a good camera for you? Are you comparing to the Note 4/6+ or are you comparing to the Nexus 5?

If comparing to the Nexus 5, a good camera doesn't say much. If you say the camera is good and holds its own against the 6+/Note 4 then that is great news.
[Nexus 6  General] leemsami:
Can the nexus 6 do voice and data simultaneously?
[Nexus 6  General] wrinklefree:
I'm coming from a OnePlus One. Despite having the same Sony camera sensor, the N6 takes much better pictures. The shutter is faster and the camera is able to hold a lower ISO in darker shots reducing noise tremendously. Also the HDR mode is actually usable.

So far I'm very impressed with the overall phone. More impressions coming later..
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
The quick charge I believe charges up to 25% in 15 minutes. You also probably need to be at a certain battery level as well. So if you are at 50% and want to quick charge I don't think it works like that. Glad to hear about all the impressions. Can't wait to get mine and hoping my screen is not too yellow to piss me off in returning it.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Supposedly that's a carrier dependent feature. The device as far as I know is capable. But the network it's on dictates operation.

I'm confused by the claims that Verizon doesn't allow simultaneous data and voice..... Many times I have put my VZW Note 3 on speaker phone and then used my data to look up things while talking....everything just kept on working.... Didn't drop the call, didn't cut my data...
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
To be honest I didn't realise that this was even a problem that existed, not to be able to surf the web while making a call on speaker phone! It seems like such an elementary problem that shouldn't exist in 2014/15.
[Nexus 6  General] SeanPlunk:
Neither the Nexus 6 or the Droid Turbo can do voice + data at the same time until Verizon flips the switch on VoLTE. This is scheduled to happen before the end of the year.

The Note 3 and other devices can do it because they have dual antennas.
[Nexus 6  General] spartanm99:
Wait the Nexus 6 doesn't have dual antennas? Really? I assumed it did for some reason, like the Note series. I thought it was premium, like the Note series..
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Yea that's odd I'm using an old HTC m7 and I can talk and surf on Verizon. Must be because I'm using a different radio?
[Nexus 6  General] dtroup64:
NEW phones for Verizon can no longer do simultaneous Voice and Data. Old phones always could. It has to do with the move away from CDMA is my understanding. As SeanPlunk stated, won't work until VoLTE begins. Verizon phones always had to have 2 antennas. Beginning with the Turbo and the Sony ZV3 and now the N6 that will no longer be the case.
[Nexus 6  General] BB6H22LUDE:
home screen

How do you like having five rows instead of 4 with thee stock launcher. Im so used to 4 lol
[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
Has anyone else noticed the power control widget is missing/gone? I use it a lot to toggle my auto sync and to toggle Auto brightness. Seems odd that they would remove it, its there on my N5 running lollipop.
[Nexus 6  General] Acrono:
They'll give you one if you call their phone support.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Who would do that? The adapter let's me insert my nano SIM into my HTC one M7 so I can activate it. I notice the wording was wrong lol.
[Nexus 6  General] htowngator:
As reviews have mentioned, quick charge is meant to be from extremely low (i.e <5%) to average (i.e. <50%) in a short time span. They've said once you get about 50 or 60% it slows down -- this is to protect the battery and because the battery charge slows anyway once you get high enough. Remember it's always the last 20% that charges the slowest.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Yes, this was also an issue with the older model iphone 5/5s that had a single radio for CDMA and LTE. They couldn't do both talk and data either.
[Nexus 6  General] jbdan:
Just got back from T-Mobile store. This thing is awesome!! I have the N5 N6 and N7 and they make a great trio! Initial thoughts are get this phone and see for yourselves how sexy this thing is :thumbup:
