Which is worse the size or the price?

Which do you find more disappointing or will be more likely to keep you from getting the Nexus 6, the size or the price?

They made it 6 because they did not want itnto hurt moto x sales i guess and a phone in phablet section

Size!!! Because I think everyone can agree when I say that the specs are worth every top dollar except for the size...

The size is my favorite part. I don't think it's badly priced for what it brings to the table either.

That was never an issue for the past two Nexus phones made by LG that had same sized LG counterparts.
They wanted a phablet so developers could develop for phablets. Why they did not also make a smaller Nexus 6 for the huge number of people who hate the size, I do not know, but I think their reasoning was stupid whatever it was.

that damn size.....OMG! worst move ever...

Yeah, I can live with the price. It would be nice if it's cheaper. But I don't buy a new phone every year, so I can scrape together the money for the awesome specs (much better specs than the Moto X).
But I just don't want a huge phablet. Super disappointing to me. My sense is that the majority of users don't want a phablet (they currently only make up 14% of the global market).
I do understand though that there are many people who like phablets and so for them the Nexus 6 is an amazing device, really the best Nexus device yet and the nicest design since the Nexus One (LG and Samsung just make cheap designs, as far as I'm concerned).

I'm gonna definitely have to say the price.. my bank account is crying right now:crying:

Heyyyy
I was honestly hoping for a second set of handset with smaller size...heck, it did not even have to come with those killer specs. I just wanted an upgraded nexus 5 lol with maybe 5.5 inch to make my debute into the nexus line...now im caught in a loop about big devices

Price. But I don't care. Still gonna get it. Haha.

There's no reason it had to be 10.1mm thick at its deepest points. Other similar phones have spaced in identical or larger batteries in a significantly thinner frame.

Yeah, I was definitely hoping there would be a second smaller Nexus 6. I would be happy with basically a Nexus version of the Moto X that it's based on, with the 5.2" screen. Although the OIS and the stereo speakers are nice, that's definitely an improvement over the Moto X. That said, I guess the best alternative for a smaller screen is the Moto X, though it will never get all the development and roms a Nexus device will have (the 1st Gen Moto X basically had no development).
Maybe you can just save your money and spend it at Moe's Books and Gordo's Burritos instead. There are more important things in life, right?

I think because it's so thin at the edges, there's less space for the components, which have to be more in the middle, than with a phone that has one even thickness edge to edge. I'm pretty sure that's why the battery in the 2nd Gen Moto X is relatively small, even though it's a pretty large 5.2" screen device. It's not about thickness at the middle, it's about overall internal volume and geometry of the phone.

My Note 3 already feels a tiny bit small.....the extra screen size will be welcome. Especially with front facing stereo speakers. It's like my wifes HTC One M8 but much nicer. The Note 4 moved back to a rear facing single speaker.......screw that noise. Price? I'll be edge'ing up to the N6 so it won't matter.

Neither. When looking at the complete line up, starting from the Nexus 5, Moto x (2nd gen), Nexus 6, Nexus 9.. Google caters to all tastes. As for the price, it is STILL competitive considering specs and materials. Google+Motorola+HTC did a great job by having something for everyone.

Yeah, it's a great upgrade from the Note 3. If you're already happy with that size phone, then there's nothing to complain about.

The Nexus 5 is a year old phone with year old specs. I do not count that as part of the current "lineup." It does not have a 64 GB option; it does not have 3 GB of RAM; it has last year's Snapdragon chipset with a slower CPU and GPU; it does not have Wifi Direct; it does not have stereo speakers; it has crappy noise cancellation. The Nexus 5 is a perfectly good phone, but it's last year's phone, and it's only going to get older and more out of date, while waiting for the next Nexus phone and hoping it has a smaller option.
The 2nd Gen Moto X is not a Nexus phone and will get zero development (like the 1st Gen Moto X). It will also be dependent on Motorola for Android updates, with inevitable (if hopefully short) delays, and will not work properly with direct updates from Google (which would disable the special Motorola features like active notifications and Moto voice). That definitely does not count as part of the Nexus lineup.
I think the only honest way to look at it is that the Nexus 6 is the new king of hill Nexus device. It has lots of great upgrades. It is one of the best phones currently out there. And if you don't like the screen size you are out of luck.

I agree with most of what you said, although the Nexus 5 is still and will probably be amazing for several upcoming months. Hell, I would reccommend people to upgrade to it - those that need an upgrade but are turned off by the Nexus 6.

Yeah, the Nexus 5 is great (except for the crappy noise cancellation), no doubt about it. But it is a fary cry from the Nexus 6. It is in no way a smaller but otherwise equivalent device.

The size is just too damn big! Couldn't they stay at a 5" screen!

Nexus 6 Pakistan Thread

Just to keep up with the previous models, here's a thread dedicated to the New Nexus 6 made by Motorola. Unfortunately since we still dont have a official Google Play store for Pakistan, we will have to rely on inflated prices on the phone being brought in by importers or shopkeepers.
Feel free to give info on price and availability of the phone in all regions of Pakistan, along with any advice or accessories.
For those who dont know, a brief overview of the phone is,
It is made by Motorola
5.95 inch full HD Amoled screen (almost 500ppi)
Qualcomm 805 processor with 3gb ram
32gb/64gb memory
3220mah battery
13mp back camera with f2.0, front 2.0mp
Water resistant
Wireless charging
NFC
Android 5.0 lollipop
Sent from my Nexus 5

So how many, if any of you guys plan to upgrade to the N6...??
I think for me the biggest boner kill is the price... Its just too much unfortunately...
Since retail is $650 in the U.S... I doubt you can find it for less than Rs.80k in pak then...

That's a pretty ridiculous benchmark in my opinion. 4 years ago people said anything bigger then 4.0" is nonsense when the Galaxy S came out, and now it seems you can't even find phones with 4" screens now.
The basis is not really the screen size as much as the shell/case that holds the screen. Take a look at the Sharp Aquos Crystal for example. Although it is a 5.0" screen, the phone is SMALLER than the Nexus 4 which you are using with its 4.7" screen.
I'm sure noone would have any problem with a 5.5"- 6" screen as long as the footprint of the phone isn't too big and the battery life is good, which unfortunately isn't the case with the nexus 6.

(I'll be exact if you are going to pin point that as well 5.3", 6.9", 8.9")
So, where is our new Nexus phone? Affordable, purest form of android, easy to fit in back pocket, an ounce lighter, wasn't awkward in public, easy to make calls, easy to carry traveling on public transit, not having such a roman pearce forehead, remember?
Oh yeah, my bad they didn't make it.
Hence proved: nonsense.
Wish the new nexus so called Six was aquos*Crystal and Crystal X but let me pop the bubble by heavy heart *pop* but it's just isn't. You are welcome, mate. Hope you share the unboxing when you get your all new Motorola Google Nexus 6, phablet.

Your missing the point...
Firstly you were quite specific about anything bigger than 5.0" its nonsense... Nothing to do with affordability or weight etc. See I'm simply saying that's a very vague and unrealistic criteria, that just if its bigger than 5" its just ridiculous.
Secondly, to say a Nexus is MEANT to be affordable and small and easy to carry with the purest form of android is kind of a long stretch. Just if the last 2 nexus models which used hardware that was just a few months away from being outdated to keep the price low, doesn't mean that's what they are always supposed to do. This time they have added the top of the line latest hardware in the phone. Barely any phones had the 805 processor yet, so naturally it will come at a price, along with the massive battery.
I'm not going to lie, I'm also not too happy about the price or the size, but one can not say the price isn't justified considering the specs. Nor can one say its a bad phone for those reasons. I myself am leaning more towards the note4 or note edge, but one eye is nonetheless on the N6 if a good deal comes by.

My Nexus 6 vs Nexus 6P

Just received my Nexus 6P today and took some pictures comparing to the Shamu and without a doubt the Shamu had better lighting and overall detail. In addition, the speaker was louder and demonstrated more of a stereo presence than the 6P. I felt that the performance of accessing and opening apps was just as good if not better with the Shamu and that lead me to run the Antutu benchmark and the results were telling.
In the Antutu, both were run with no applications loaded and the difference was more than 13K in favor of the Shamu ?? 52+ vs 39
As if that was not enough I ran Geekbench 3 and the results were even more dramatic. 1064 single core 3273 multi / 726 single 2882 multi
What this experience so far has led me to believe is that either I have a very good Shamu OR the Nexus 6P is defective

Snapdragon 810 throttling like always.
Sendt fra min D6603 med Tapatalk

My 6p scores alot higher then your 39 you r claiming. My 6p is better then my N6 hands down.

On the plus side you can probably sell the 6p pretty easily. I VERY much doubt it is defective. I think the 810 is a failed architecture, they tried to go too far and there is no (economical) solution to its problems. As for the other stuff, Huawei's first effort probably just wasn't ever going to compete with a Motorola phone designed when they were still part of Google.

Not so much a failed architecture, as failed application. The 810 has 4 Cortex A57's, which are *very* badly suited to smartphone application. This chip is a STOPGAP solution to get something that *looks* high end 64 bit out the door QUICKLY in order to hold up against the competition that has pointlessly put out their own 64bit chip.
And realistically, the 810 doesn't perform *poorly*, it just isn't as good as the 805 for this application, and the 805 is *excellent*.
In an application that has the ability to dissipate heat properly, the 810 is a very nice chip. Just imagine how it would perform with a good heatsink and FAN.

The build is much better then nexus 6. And with my uses so far the 6p out shines my nexus 6. So glad I got the 6p and can sell my Nexus 6. Anyone who says the nexus 6 is better then the 6p imo.

Well I guess it does boil down to how you are using it and thus far with my web browsing, image searching the 6P is faster but there is too large of a discrepancy with the benchmarks on a stock unrooted phone so I guess I will RMA this one.

FWIW: three comments from Android Central review convinced me to cancel my 6P order:
-"I want to say the Nexus 6P runs Marshmallow better than any other phone, because the Nexus 6P is shiny and new. In reality, it runs things the same as a Nexus 6 or a Nexus 5X does."
- "The 6P has a very good radio, hanging on to signal almost as good as the Motorola Nexus 6"
- "If you already bought a Nexus 6 and don't hate it, keep it until next year."

The problem which I have with the nexus 6P and in general with both nexus devices this year, samsung devices and Sony devices is that they tried to ripoff iphone design so badly.
Huge top and down bezels, symetric design on the front and lack of exchangeable battery over any practical advantage. Also, alu bodies.
This people dont probably understand that if A user wants a phone that looks like an Iphone, A user will get an Iphone, especially if they can shed out 600+ dolalrs, euros for that thing.
Its dissapointing to see that only LG has kept with the removable battery option. The only reason I currently own a Nexus 6 is because it was a deal that offered it much cheaper than a LG G4 and android updates from Google.
I guess flip phones and old devices for me from now on. Its very sad that iphones still set the standard of "flagships" in 2015.

The iphones at least have front fingerprint sensors. THe nexus 6p has no excuse for giant front bezels.

Actually, today/tomorrow I will be testing the radio on it to see if it is better than the Shamu and if it is then I will most likely be keeping it although I really like the speakers on the Nexus 6 and how the camera works with Manual camera app.

I guess if I didnt have a nexus 6 now, and wanted one, I would probably opt for a 6p, since its "newer".
But, being an owner of a nexus 6, I don't see any logical reason to "upgrade" to the 6p; wanting the "newer" phone is the only reason i would think about doing it, and that's emotional, not logical..

Yeah, this has been my thinking as well.

My stock 6p on the latest google build scores 57,555 in Antutu. My Nexus6 is on stock rom but unencrypted and custom kernel scores 52-55k.
Geekbench3 my 6p did 1315 single core and 4168 multi-core. I don't have my N6 near me today, but I know it was lower than that.
Androbench my 6p did 231MB/s seq read, 115MB/s seq write, 19.52MB/s random read, and 11.16MB/s random write. My unencrypted Nexus 6 did 222MB/s seq read, 67MB/s seq write, 17MB/s random read, and 16MB/s random write....and that was much much much faster than the encrypted Nexus6 scores were in the past.
So for me at least, the 6p is faster in essentially every benchmark.

I listen to Google Music a lot and I really really like the speakers on Shamu. Question. did your 6P come with the latest build ? I am now a bit hard of hearing and use the speakerphone and am wondering if the lesser speaker on the 6P would be too hard for me as there are times with the 6 it is soft.??

I just said screw it and processed my return today. I have the Nexus 6 still and I can't find a reason for keeping the 6p.

Damn man. Like I said in another thread, I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on it yet. Returning the case I bought for it today.
Looks like I'm getting either a MotoX Style/Pure, or an LG V10 to play with for a while. Who knows....I may take my N6 over those too. Time to go do some more research.

Have you held a 6P by chance? I have an old HTC one M7 and its exactly the same color aluminum but feels 10 times more sturdy. There is something "hollow" about the 6P, if that makes sense.
Also, that guy who bent the crap out of the 6P did it again, with a brand new, un-altered one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3cWVdLqXCg
I'm not too worried about bending mine, but it confirmed my suspicion of the pieces not being properly mated together internally. There was some real crappy building decisions somewhere along the way, could only blame Huawei for that.
I'm probably getting a Note 5, if I don't like that I'll just wait until the next incarnation of the flagships.

All M incarnations have been solid and heavy like a slab of aluminum. The 6P has a nice exterior frame, a free floating mid frame (which causes the ridiculous bending), and a screen which isn't really attached to the outer frame, at least doesn't appear to be during these bend tests. So, the gap between the back cover (where nexus is stamped) and the mid frame causes the device to feel hollow and weak.
I'll gladly take a glass back and aluminum outer frame securely...secured to each other.

How does the Nexus 6P feel in the hand versus the Nexus 6? The 6 is noticeably wider no?

A few articles have been written about the rumored new Nexus phone. If this is how it looks, it looks horrible. The front facing speakers appears to be gone and it looks very iPhone-esq.......similar to HTC's A10.
If it is accurate, it looks pretty bad compared to Motorola's 6.

It's all still leaks and rumors at this point but if things play out the way the leaks are leaning, I'll still be hanging on to my Nexus 6. With the larger screen and running Android Nougat at a more than acceptable performance level I just can't find anything that compels me to upgrade.

Even though that's just a rumour and not confirmed, I gotta say HTC really hasn't changed much in a decade. My HTC Sensation looks pretty similar to that, and it's ancient. No, I don't use it anymore, it's a backup phone in case my other device breaks. lol. In other words; not liking it and won't be getting one.

My contract ends around the same time as the new line of Nexus' come around. If HTC fails to wow me, it seems as though I might be going for the galaxy note 7 or s7 edge. Not a big fan of restricted Samsung, otherwise I'd use the OnePlus 3, but alas it doesn't support CDMA

The bigger Nexus 6 variant will probably look slightly different from the smaller though.

I kinda like the new look, but don't like that they're ditching the stereo speakers. I think I'll hold on to the N6 until it dies on me.

Those are just renders. Hopefully they won't ditch the stereo speakers. Either way I'll be sticking to the nexus 6 for a while and wait for reviews instead of purchasing it right away. Judging from the renders, I don't like the look but it might grow on me eventually, kinda like the camera bump on the nexus 6p. I'm actually more excited about custom Roms on Nougat that the new devices. My phone contract finished March next year and even then if the new devices does not seem to fit me I probably would have to wait. The nexus 6 is a fully capable phone for this day and age and will continue to be for a long time thanks to the xda community. The whale will definitely be a legendary phone in my book.

That's wise. I would prefer a phone with a new display like
http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/

I've been watching the leaks and rumors and yeah I'm not too excited. I'll probably be sticking with the 6. For me 6" is the perfect size and I love the stereo speakers and wireless charging. And it's plenty fast enough so I don't see any compelling reason to "upgrade" at this point.

I'd be more compelled to pick up a 6P which will have a reduced price when the Nexus 2016 comes out.

Well I suppose once it comes out the 6p will be cheaper so if the HTC isn't great there will be a cheaper option. I'm guessing they will price it around $500 which has been pretty typical for the Nexus pricing.
HTC has been struggling since they had their last real hit the M8
The rumor design though with no front facing speakers looks awful but would be consistent with HTC lol

Will there ever be a 6" Nexus in the future?

i love the nexus 6 except for the weight of it. the shape was great but right now id prefer something flat.
the only reason why im interested in the new nexus is because of daydream. other than that the nexus' killer features are the screen - 6" qhd amoled - pretty much unique, stereo speakers and qi charging.
will the new nexus have any 2 out of the 3 of these? i sure hope so!

This may be something to wait for....
http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/

what is daydream? doesn't the nexus 6 already have that? I've never seen it do anything

Not certain those HTC really appeal to me. Depends on what phones Verizon has in September, or is announced for it.

Daydream has two meanings
1 screensaver while charging
2 compatibility with new vr standards
Since our nexus 6 already has #1, I'm guessing he means #2

I don't like these renders either. But I remember the dislike for the 6P when renders and test units started showing up. Most hated the design because of the "LaForge" visor. But once we got the real deal it looked much better than anticipated.
Hopefully that's gonna be the case here.

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.

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.
