[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I owned gen3 Galaxy Nexus and gen5 LG Nexus 5 (x 2, for me and my wife). Besides two Nexus tablets -- Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 (with all accessories, like keyboard). I was a HUGE Nexus fanboi.

Then Google released the 6" Nexus 6 whale when they should have released the 5.2" version they were testing as late as mid-August 2014. By the way, the generation number -- when in the name of the Nexus phones -- was NEVER the screen size with the phones, unlike the Nexus tablets.

gen1 HTC Nexus One was not 1" display. 3.7" display. However, it was the FIRST Nexus phone.

gen2 Samsung Nexus S. 4.0" display. No gen number that year.

gen3 Galaxy Nexus. 4.65" 720p. They didn't use a number that year, either. First Android to have HD display.

gen4 LG Nexus 4. 4.7" 720p. It was NOT 4" display -- it was closer to 5" -- and was the 3rd Nexus phone 4" display or larger. It was basically the same size as the previous year -- it was called "4" because it was the 4th generation.

gen5 LG Nexus 5 was 4.95" 1080p. It was the 5th generation and just coincidentally happened to be close to 5".

Google could have easily released a 5.2" Nexus 6 to be the successor the of the gen5 Nexus 5. Instead they screwed up with a phablet larger than any Galaxy Note ever. :rolleyes: A 5.2" version with the same specs would have been PERFECT. Motorola (owned by Google at the time of development) said Google insisted on the larger phone, even though Motorola provided them with a 5.2" variant. Rather than release BOTH, they released just the whale size. The 5.2" version of the Nexus 6 would have been a best seller!

That's why I bought Motorola Quark, this phone, because it was the basically the 5.2" version Google should have released as the Nexus 6! It has 95% same specs, and even had a LARGER battery than the 6" Nexus 6. (Google's Nexus batteries are always too small.) If only Motorola had included the stereo speakers and rear camera OIS on the Quarks they put on the Nexus 6... :rolleyes: Not sure why they left them out. But a lot that Motorola does is puzzling.

Then although Google ADMITTED THEIR HUGE ERROR and released TWO Nexus phones for 2015 -- both SMALLER than the whale Nexus 6 (5.2" and 5.7"), the 5.2" was just mid-tier specs and neither has Qi wireless. The 5.7" is still too large as I don't want to own a phablet, I want a top tier smartphone.

Now for 2016, the larger Nexus phone will be even smaller, reportedly 5.5" -- again showing Google is finally realizing their size mistake. But I have still heard no mention of Qi wireless. Also, strange the smaller phone will be 5". Mainstream size for Android is now 5.2".

It's simple. Go back to the Nexus 6 specs, update the components, and give us a 5.2" - 5.4" 1440p AMOLED display version.

So, that's why I am very wary of Nexus phones. After making almost perfect gen3, gen4, gen5 Nexus -- except for annoyingly small batteries -- Google went off track the last two years and I'm not confident about this year.

Go look at the specs of the ZTE Axon 7. Add Qi wireless and you have about the perfect Nexus phone! ZTE says they are considering a bootloader unlocked version. If they do, it will easily be Phone of the Year. XDA members would jump all over that.
