coming from the nexus one...

I've been using my trusty Nexus One for 2 years now, and I rooted and plagued it with custom roms since day 1 and stands strong till this day....however I want a new phone.
The Note appeals to me very much. I like the Note a lot, but the size....just seems too impractical?
Is it practical for field work? Like sales reps?
I don;t want the SG2 as everyone I know has it....i like to be different! XD
Suggestions?
*i know opinions might be biased since i'm posting is this thread, but guys, try to be neutral, plz

I had a Nexus One for 2 years and thought about getting a new phone.
galaxy nexus was 4 weeks away and it didn't have a sdcard slot (I use about 7gb for spotify, 5gb for offline maps, Podcats, Gamefiles, etc.).
In the meantime the Note came out and I gave it a try.
It's great, love it.
The size is fine for me.
I would have a Nexus if the Nexus was first. But don't know how I would have get around the 16gb.

i went from a G2 which is around the same size as the Nexus One, and i've owned a Nexus one as well.
anyway, you won't have any trouble with the phone for 'field' use. with the exception of everyone stopping and asking you where you got that gigantic phone. maybe consider getting a case for the phone as it feels too thin for as large as it is when your trying to get it out of your pocket.

The Galaxy Nexus should be your choice, you might find it hard to live with a non google reference device.

he's talking about the infrequent software updates. so far development on this phone has been somewhat lacking compared to the Galaxy Nexus and the SGSII. or maybe they're just waiting for better ICS sources. either way it's troubling at the moment.

Well it's still a niche phone. Not many people will use something this large. I however LOVE it. I did have an issue with my first one as the screen would pulsate a green hue. I didn't want to be a whiner but eventually decided to send it back. GLAD I DID! The new one I got has a much better screen with whites and no issues. It's good.
However I recommend it for people with larger hands and I highly recommend getting one of those TPU cases with the grips on the side. It makes it MUCH easier to handle.

Just moved from the outdated 4.3" HTC HD2. It was a window phone and the biggest at that time. A good phone with lots of possibilities and can port Android and also Window 7. A great feature of that phone is the ability to use dedicated GPS such as Garmin, Papago etc - a feature I missed in the Android.
I am new to Android and just got my note over a week ago. I love the enlarged screen and seem to function as small tablet. I am not familiar with using Google map as a GPS and realized that it is not so detailed in my country. So I am still using my HTC HD2 for navigating here.
All said, I still love this Note and size is not a problem with me. Now I can defer getting the Tablet and need not carry too many devices.
I use a belt pouch to carry it around and have to problem with it.

came from a nexus one as well. The N1 screen size made browsing and gaming pointless and chore-ish for me. I really wanted to get an ipad2 but didn't really like its low res screen, and was afraid I would get a new phone as well to replace the aging N1. Then the note came out, made perfect sense to me.
Everyone asks about the phone, most love the size but are afraid it's too big to pocket, and then I show them it fits even in my slim-fit levis.

Great!
I just got myself a Note and it's fantastic!!!

Updates and developments are better and faster on a google reference device. I could possible by the most trouble free device ever as far as andriod is concerned.

Possibly looking at the GS3, would like some opinions

I have a friend who is letting me use the upgrade on their line at the end of September to get a phone so I can keep my unlimited. As it sits right now I have a Galaxy Nexus. I love the phone but want something with newer tech. I had a few questions though.
The first being battery life of the phone compared to the GNex. I'm not at all satisfied with the performance of the Nexus regarding the battery. I average under 2 hours screen time and medium usage, and that sort of stinks. Since the S3 has the same size battery as my extended I have now, is the batter life good in those regards?
Secondly there are some good looking phones coming down the line. I'm a picky person when it comes to screens. Is the quality good regarding the screen? I have some burn in on my nexus and I don't know how the S3 is. Also, the nexus has an annoying issue where the screen loses sensitivity after a while. Does that happen on the S3 as well?
Would I be better waiting for the Note 2, RAZR maxx HD, or the HTC device or getting the S3?

Here's my personal opinion;
If you're looking for newer tech, why don't you wait for the new Nexus phone(s) coming around December? The S3 is bound to lag behind upcoming phones because technology is moving really fast.
Since the Galaxy S3 has the same screen as the Galaxy Nexus, it is bound to be affected by screen burns after a year or more. The screen quality is excellent but Super AMOLED screens are prone to burn-ins. The Note 2 has a better screen, in my opinion.
The battery life of the S3 is superb! Really. My friend's Nexus doesn't last long at all whilst my S3 can last for a long time!
Stick with the Nexus for now.

Thanks for the honest responses. I wish more companies would follow HTC and use super LCD2, the screen is awesome and crystal clear. I like the note 2 but I fear it might be just too big.

Just wait a bit for the optimus g or a bit more for the new nexus. The sg3 is great, but there are going to be a few better choises very soon, at least hardware-wise. Then razr maxx hd looks promising, It might be a good bet considering the google acquisition of moto...

I have never been a fan of LG, they always seem to be lacking. I heard a rumor about the new nexus being the 5 inch phablet from HTC. Not sure how I feel about having a super big phone. I'll have to check out the note 2 to figure out if I could handle it.

The razr maxx hd looks nice on videos and articles, but Its a bit thick and has a dual core cpu. Lg makes great hardware, but I've never liked the software and slow updates. There are probably going to be other devices with a s4 pro(quadcore) chip soon I would wait and go for one of those.

SGS3 is awesome... Best phone I ever had (and I had quite a few..).
Battery lasts me all day (just email, browsing & reading newsfeeds), no problem. Screen is nice, no complaints. The S3 is just gorgeous and really speedy. I use mine with a 64GB SD-Card, which is the reason why I passed on the GNex.. I need storage space for movies and music!
Best of all, I hook my S3 up to my 42in flatscreen TV (LG), and the picture is nice and crisp...
Did I already suggest you should get an S3 (Quad core)?
Sure, there will always be better & faster phones coming out, but this one just has everything you (probably) want.
Just one thing I really hate about the S3: the physical 'Home' button. HTC did that better on the Rezound (a crappy phone w/ a nice screen...), even though those morons gave it 4 buttons. - How dumb is that?
I certainly will never get another HTC as long as 'Sense' is around - even though I used to root all my phones and put Custom ROMs (preferably CM) on them anyway...
However, I have to admit that after using Samsung TouchWiz (in JB flavor) for the last 6-8 weeks, I have no desire switching to some always half-broken CM ROM anymore.
With TW, at least, all the features work.. right away!!!

Isnt there a new HTC one x5 coming out? (seeing as you said you like htc screens, this ones meant to be 5 inches and full 1080p) could be just a rumour but have a look: http://blog.gsmarena.com/the-htc-5-phablet-to-be-the-google-nexus-5/

I am having this phone and after using a store model I found it pretty smooth.

i have to honestly say this phone is amazing. not a single fault with it.
its heavily supported by the community, paranoid android is amazing too. etc etc etc.
but as always, just look at what you need. theres never any point looking for the greatest tech, because another this or that will come along in a month and be the new 'best'.
for me, external SD card was a must, removable battery is always nice, etc etc.
either take the dive and get an S3 which will be a really really solid phone for the next 12 months and probably longer, or wait another 6 and get the next big thing, be it nexus, galaxy, HTC <insert name here>... but just make sure it does what you need (and with the number of custom roms out there, this is becoming more and more flexible)

Same here, this phone is great, lots of fun and also needed an SD card and battery I could swap. Nothing worse than arriving somewhere and having to wait for the phone to charge!

I was thinking of jumping from the Sensation 4G with Tmo to the GS3 since they are offering an upgrade 2 months early...I think I will stay with my rooted Sensation a bit longer its awesome anyways but I think Tmo will be getting a new line up before Christmas...Im considering the Note 2 but it may be too big Im not sure yet...just dont wanna waste an upgrade and a month later the lastest and greatest hit the market....

A lot comes down to personal preference.
Like the first reply said why not wait until december.
I had the Galaxy S3 and I hated it.
Found it very uncomfortable to use. Impossible to operate in one had. I would try it out yourself, i wish i did, its not as smooth as everyone makes out. However, i was advised to do lots of things to it which would have made it smooth like rooting etc (i couldn't be bothered with the hassle of that)
Screen is very good but not as good as other phones and its really bad in sunlight. Almost unusable.
Dont know what battery other people have got but its not very good. You wouldn't get through a day with it thats for sure. Android fans had a tough time over the years with battery but this is an improvement.
Also, the device is not very pretty as others seem to think. Again this is personal preference. Its very plasticy and flimsy. One drop and its dead. Poor build quality.
As you can see my post is very negative due to the experience I had with it. Personally, if your an android fan wait til december.

The opposite of what he ^ said.

An opinion, that most people do not share. I would just wait for the next Nexus or look at what HTC is brining out. Something tells me the new Nexus phone may be a disappointment, I do hope I'm wrong though

Best Phone I've owned is Nexus 6

With so many bad comments or complaining... Just don't understand. So decided to add a positive note.
Owned OG Droid, Moto X, Note 2,Note 3,Note 4,M8...etc.
For me the Nexus 6 is the best phone yet. Cheers!

I woudn't know. My order is on endless backorder. I'm just looking forward to getting rid of bloat, and actually getting friggin' updates. Those are the two things I miss most from iOS

Why is it the best phone you owed? Can you break it down for us a bit, what makes it so great? What makes it better than the Note 4?

Well I've owned an iPhone 3G, OG Droid, HTC Incredible, HTC Rezound (UGH!), Sidekick and Galaxy Nexus and some Nokia's so I'm not sure if I'm the best judge of, 'best phones,' but......this phone is definitely the best one I've ever owned.
The screen is delightful, the software is just the way I like it (even JB my iPhone because the available options of, 'stock' IOS SUCKED!!), the speakers are bawse (although my LG Tone headset is usually connected) and the thing is just plain beautiful (have a Dbrand Mahogany skin). I have 32GB MB. The only qualm I have is that I have really not installed much other than some apps that take away the nav bar, PIE Control and stuff like that along with a TWRP backup and I'm already down to 20GB. I'm not sure how long that space is going to hold up. Other than that, I am super-dee-dooper delighted.
Is there any way to back up say, a large game and place it on a NAS or something and play it from there?

It is quite the device indeed. Coming from too many Samsung devices and each Nexus since the 4, this phone is super fun and fast. It's also a superior build to anything I've ever held/used. 5.0 pure google is soooo sweet and we're the lucky 1% who gets to enjoy it to its fullest!

I really love this phone, ive been seeing alot of bad comments about this phone and i dont really have a flaw yet. Andriod has been improved, the screen and the phone is gorgeous, mabye the camera can be improved alittle in my opinion but I recommend this phone for anybody.

This is by far my favorite phone. Love everything about it. The only thing I miss from any of my old phones is the ir blaster. But other than that this phone is perfect for me.

Yeah I'm loving it as well. I guess in most cases a new phone should always be the best ever. But that's not the case whenever I try an iPhone lol.
But I came from the M8 and its awesome. Was nervous about it after creeping on the forums a bit too much but I don't regret my decision at all.
I was worried about the size but bigger really is better. Pure unmolested Lollipop is a pleasure to use.
Screen might not be as bright as other phones but it does look damn good.
Speakers complete the big screen experience.

Ditto. Was nervous about the size and price but so glad I made the switch. I've owned a LOT of phones (check my Sig) so saying this is the best phone I've ever had is quite a statement from me.

You can get a external memory drive that has micro USB on one end and reg USB on the other and store data on that which is what I'm doing. I just purchased a SanDisk one from Amazon that's got 64gb of memory for only 30$..
Rlh445 ^^^^

I'm giving it a second shot. Stuck the Note 4 in the cabinet abs and gonna stick with N6 for a week or so.
The size is very easy to get used to.

Love the Nexus!
I've had S3,S4,HTC One Max, G3 and a RAZR... And by far the best experience I've had is on this Nexus 6.
I believe the Camera on the G3 is actually a little better, but that's my only real complaint and I have a real Nikon camera if I'm about to be taking some serious pictures. This cam will due just fine for me.
At first I was worried about storage since I was only able to get the 32GB version through Sprint, but I ordered a 64GB OTG with micro USB on one end and USB on the other for my laptop. I have to say that now I actually prefer having the OTG stick anyways. I can easily throw all my pics and Nandroids on that and I know they're safe. Plus I have all my ROM , kernels, gapps and TBO apps on there which makes flashing a breeze.
If you like to customize and have freedom, the only real answer is to get a Nexus.

No complaints here either.. I don't have any strange tint to my screen, yellow or pink. Everything works as it should, no random reboots or FC... Couldn't be happier with the device.

Chalk up another satisfied owner. It's just an all-around beautiful device.
Would buy again. Highly recommend.

Thank you for starting this... Reading on this forum and reddit would make you believe that this phone is horrible, but I love everything about it.
The screen is great, gets plenty bright.
Camera is good
Battery life is good for my needs
I got used to the size quickly
Its fast and lag free - although the animations are so slow. I had to change them to .5x

Droid Turbo or Nexus 6?

For us that are stuck with Verizon and do not and can not fork out $600, where is the Nexus 6! Are we still getting it, and when! Or should I just give up and get the Droid Turbo?

The only thing which persuaded me to get the Turbo vs the Nexus is the size. I just cant deal with a 6" phone.
I actually prefer the 4.7 - 5.0 range (ie my old Droid DNA was PERFECT size) and Turbo is close enough that it doesnt bother me. But anything larger was just too much.
Of course, if you care more about root than size, Nexus is the way to go.

I'm with rajuabju on this. I would have loved the Nexus 6, but it's just too big; the Droid Turbo is pretty much the max in terms of phone size that I'd want to use.

Very true I agree. I mean the galaxy note 4 is borderline but still big and the nexus 6 is out of this world huge like the iPhone plus. Do they want me to get custom made jeans with pockets 6 inches deep and wide? I mean hecks no! This turbo is by far the best size along with the g3. Best hand form feel. Specs are similar to nexus and turbo but then again 565ppi for under 6 inches is more impressive than the nexus 6 ppi for 6 inch screen

I got the Turbo and love it. The idea of a Nexus phone was enticing, but the Nexus 6 was just too darn big. I'm glad about my decision and love everything about the Turbo. A smartphone is a tool to me, and Motorola did a magnificent job with that. Sure, some other phones are prettier, but I love the post-industrial look of the Turbo. I find it beautiful! I never use a case with my phones. Just think about it...take the iPhone which Apple spends a bundle on industrial design, and most users put an awful looking case on it. To me, a phone that needs a case is a poor design. The Turbo, by the way, includes one free screen replacement if necessary.
On the whole, the battery, while not the 48 hour duration that is claimed, still is simply amazing. The phone is fast and buttery smooth. The screen is great. Also, regarding the camera, It's been taking sharp, very impressive, oh wow photos for me. The "shutter lag" issue is a pseudo problem. No phone is meant for quick burst photos of fast action subjects. But the Camera Zoon FX does have a burst mode that works great with the Turbo.
Unless you want a 6 inch screen, I find the Turbo the phone of the year.

You can get 48h now pretty easily. You just cannot have heavy usage for 48 hours, which was never the intended claim.

My last phone was also the DNA and I loved it. If you compare the size of the DNA with the Turbo they are almost identical with the Turbo only being slightly thicker because of the battery.
I think the N6 would be just too big for me to fit comfortably in my pants and shorts pockets. I also like that I can use my Turbo one handed. The N6 also doesn't come in black.
The only thing I hate about the Turbo (yes, hate) is that the capacitive keys are KK and not LP symbols. I know the phone came out with KK on it, but LP was right around the corner and they look so much better than the KK symbols.

Yeah the turbo is a excellent phone. The decision has to be made based on your need for root and size of the phone.
My DNA already has lollipop. I almost popped my Sim back in the other day.

100% true.
Its easy to get 48hours or more with only light usage. I did it specifically to test a few times.
But with heavy usage (ie, most people on XDA), its still lasts through a full day and then some, and NO other phone I've ever had would last this long

I'll chime in my $.02 here since I had the turbo and just recently sold it, and bought the N6. First off yes the N6 is huge, and that originally was the sole reason I didn't really want one. There are a few things that drove me to making the switch. I came from the LG G2, and honestly the G2 was and is one of the best devices on the market.. The size of the phone is perfect for me, it's thin, light, small bezel, etc.. I do like having root but I am by no means a ROM junkie like I was back in the OG Droid, then Gnex days.. so the G2 was perfect for me in that sense as well.. My original plan was to get the Droid Turbo, and sell my G2, but on black friday I got such a good deal on the turbo i was able to keep both. While using the Turbo I often found myself not being able to use the phone comfortably with one hand, and then the whole probably not going to get root thing.. So I figured if I am going to have a phone that in all honesty I will need to consistently use two hands to use, well then might as well go big, and get the benefits of a Nexus. I still have my G2 and a nano-->micro sim adapter so I can easily move back and forth between devices when I so desire.
I will say that with all those factors in mind had the turbo gotten root I probably would have kept it, it really is a well made phone, and I had no issues with the camera, and the latest update to add simultaneous voice and data was nice to have (being that the N6 currently doesn't support that on VZW), but I also have no regrets at this point (only 24 hours with the N6 though).
Like I said that's my $.02.

yep like everyone else the nexus 6 is just to big. i had the note 3 for a whole year exactly. i started going to the gym and that thing was not comfortable carrying around for music. dumped it for the m8 couldn't be happier, especially with the sound output, amazing.
and if you really want the nexus 6 i believe it works right out box for verizon. if you order from google or motorola whichever one. theres plenty of video on youtube and droid-life.com and a couple other sites already confirmed this. i hope youre happy with whatever decision you make.
happy holidays everyone!

i can confirm the nexus 6 works right of the box on Verizon. The one I bought was originally purchased at a T-Mobile store. I put my sim in and good to go.. calls, data(LTE/3G) mms, all work without any tinkering.
It's huge plain and simple.. so if you can get past that, then I would say go for the Nexus.. I haven't had very many opportunities to use camera other then basic shots, but so far I am pleased.

Will you move to Nexus 2016 soon after its launch?

This poll is to determine and estimate how much the new nexus (2016) is anticipated in nexus 6 community.

Used to be YES! But not if the front speakers are gone. Sticking with n6.... Looking at ZTE axon 7 as bootloader is unlocked and twrp plus good hw and cheaper price, good speakers seems worth a better look.

I see moving to a 5.5" screen as a downgrade.

After spending the price of two laptops on my N6 (£549) I expect it to last more than a couple of years. I like new toys, but there's a limit imposed by common sense. Newer processors may give an infinitesimal improvement in performance, which no doubt can be measured by benchmarks, but the N6 is plenty fast enough for me. The screen may not be the best around these days, but every time I watch a video I think "Wow, this is an amazing quality picture", so again, good enough for me.
No point in squandering resources, is there...?

I'll stay with Nexus 6, it's the best phone I ever had, even if it's not my daily phone because it's too big, it's really wonderfull with big screen, nice resolution (ready for carboards), enought RAM, 25Go is enought for me, nice photos/videos, good stereo sound with front speakers, fast charge... :good: I still love it

The Nexus Marlin and Sailfish will indeed not be true Nexus devices. It has been announced that Google is rebranding the Nexus brand, rumored at the moment to just be called "G"; and it will not feature a stock version of android, rather there will be G-only features built into the ROM. No word of bootloader yet.

If there is no Nexus device then maybe I will get the One Plus 3

Me too, not going to happen as long as there are decent 6" or bigger phones available. It's a pain trying to type messages or emails on such a small screen.

I really want a 64 bit mobile to develop my rom, but the 6P might break if I think about it too hard. So I'll check the new ones, but if they are too expensive here in Europe, and the early reviews are negative, then I'll just keep my N6.

I still love my N6 but I cracked the screen a bit in the corner.
I also want to finally make the move to Project Fi so I'm hoping for a bundle deal.

If what is in the leaks is true. I rather buy note 7. Back design too ugly for me.

There are a lot of reasons why people buy a Nexus device. The 2 most common reasons I always see is either the simplicity of the device (dare I say, bare bones of what a phone should do/have) and stock skin of Android or on the other side, the complex and customisable options that is possible with the fact that Nexus devices are easy to tinker with combined with the support of the developer community who are constantly providing support for devices for years even after they reach their sell by date(shoutout to all the devs btw )
Combined with this I guess its safe to stay for the most advanced users and beginners alike it all depends on if they're specific needs are still being met for them to stay with Nexus 6 or any other device for that matter and if not then it's time to upgrade.
Personally I will probably stick with Nexus 6 for as long as it lasts me or if a phone gets released with everything the Nexus 6 is and hopefully more ( Preferably a phone such as the Xperia Z5 Ultra , if Sony ever release it )

The price is too high for me. No front facing speakers, "just" a 5.5 Inch screen etc etc. For the moment my N6 is fast and stable enough to use it for the best part of the next year as well.
Bottom line, I would rather buy a OnePlus 3, than a "New Nexus" at this point.

Did they unviel it yet? I have my credit card ready. But i love my n6 to much lol

I've grown to the size of my phone and cant seem myself owning anything smaller.

Since first buying the Nexus 6 a couple years ago or so I've had a Moto X Pure, Huawei Mate 7, OnePlus 3, and now I'm back to the Nexus 6. This phone just has everything I want in a phone. 6 inch screen (which for me is the perfect size), simple, clean design, great development, stereo speakers, and good battery life. No point in updating to a newer phone for minimal gains in speed at the cost of at least a couple of the N6's great features.

More than likely I'm going to upgrade. My N6 will be paid off in October.

I'm ready for a smaller form factor, unless they completely **** it up and the design is completely underwhelming, I will be getting one, I'm not gonna get it on launch day like the Shamu though , gonna take my sweet time waiting for reviews to make a final decision, there is a chance I will be sticking with this device for another cycle, we'll see

Me too, I wish they would make another Nexus with a screen this size! They did it once and never again! I LOVE my N6!

I'll be keeping my N6 or getting the One Plus 3 if what I have heard and read about the new devices is true. I just love my N6, has everything I've ever wanted (minus a removable SD and/or battery which I really don't miss). Got my son a OP3 and it is really nice, I really liked my OP1. OnePlus is as close to a Nexus as you can get and unlike recent Nexus they are still inexpensive.
