[Nexus 6  General] Yetamedi:
Here is my opinion on the nexus 6 including comparisons to several other phones I have owned over the last year or more. Please keep in mind that I have only used it for 24 hours so far and a big part of that day was spent at work actually working.

My initial impressions of it was that it wasn't the monster that everyone was making it out to be in the reviews I have read. To put this into context I have owned a lumia 1520 (by far the biggest phone I have used), a galaxy note 2, 3, 4, and edge (really its only a hair bigger than the note 3, 4, and edge), a moto x 2013, lumia 1020, HTC one M7, and LG G3. So I have used several "big" phones and it didn't feel as oversized as I was expecting. The screen to bezel ratio reminds me of the G3 in a lot of ways, although the G3 still manages to have slimmer side bezels. When I first turned it on I was greeted by the AT&T logo and sound and it was pretty loud out of the box. It sorta took me by surprise how loud it was on initial boot up. After peeling off the screen protector I noticed that the screen felt a little tackier to the touch. It wasn't as slick feeling as my more recent phones (I still have the note 3, 4, edge, and 1020 in my possession). It almost felt (to me, just opinion here) like it was the gorilla glass and no oleophobic coating over it. Perhaps it was just the screen protector made it a touch tackier, not sure yet.

The screen itself was very nice. I was apprehensive that it would be too dim based on what I had read online so far, but it was more than fine brightness wise. I could turn up the brightness and it would get too bright to view comfortably. I didn't get a chance to really look at it in the sunlight so I cannot comment on that yet. In terms of sharpness, it is indeed a step down from the note 4. However this is a pretty tough standard as the note 4 had the brightest cleanest display of all the phones I have ever owned. The note edge doesn't even compare favorably to the note 4 (it is still a very good screen, just a little darker), and I had read on another web site (I don't remember which one off the top of my head) that the note 4 had the best display they have tested on a smartphone thus far besting even the newest iphone 6's. I would say that the nexus screen falls into 3rd place behind the note 4 and note edge in terms of screen quality, just besting the M7 due to the extra resolution. I have to assume that everyone bashing the screen is exaggerating.

I cannot say I have really noticed any lag (or jank as it would seem is the new term), but the notes have been my primary devices for a good bit now so perhaps I am desensitized to it via dealing with touchwiz for so long. Its performance seemed to me to be on par with most of the other devices I have owned (as a side note the smoothest device I have ever used is my shield tablet, that thing is amazing). I would put it slightly behind the moto x and perhaps on par with the M7 in smoothness of operation when compared to other recent android phones that I have experience with. If it becomes possible to disable the encryption in the future I should hope that it becomes the smoothest android phone in my possession. Having said that it is no slouch and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends or family.

Things I have not done yet with my nexus would include:

I have not yet listened to music or plugged in any headphones for any reason, so I have nothing to share in that regard.

I have not yet made or received any phone calls, so I cannot comment on the audio quality or loudness.

Once again, I have only had the device for 24 hours so far and it was not my primary line throughout the day while I was at work (I didn't feel like cutting my sim down last night for that purpose, so I put my second line sim in it to play with it), so please keep that in mind
