We analyze the latest jewel in Google, the Nexus 6, a very large smartphone in every way. Despite their generous technical characteristics among which 3,220 mAh battery and Snapdragon processor 805 to 2.7 GHz and 13 Mpx of the new Google mobile camera has some gaps.

Low Motorola experience
If we look back we see that the new Nexus 6 is the sixth model of this popular family.
First came the Nexus One in 2010, manufactured by HTC, then came the turn of Nexus S, manufactured by Samsung, the same company that Google used for the next model, the Galaxy Nexus.
Later came the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 under the tutelage of LG and now Google has used a Motorola to manufacture its new smartphone, the Nexus 6.
This will be the flagship device of signing the “great seeker”, its new flagship to fight with the largest to be done with a gap between the best mobile of the moment.
Conditions not lacking. If we look at their technical characteristics we find the best possible components, the seal of Motorola and benefits of software and updates that supposed to belong to the family Nexus .
Without detracting anything work of LG and HTC in previous Nexus, we give a positive point for the new election of Google for your new smartphone .
This past year we have seen how Motorola resurfaced as one of the big winners in terms of smartphones are concerned. The Moto Moto G and X are two clear examples of this uprising.
This time few niggles that you can put the new Nexus 6, although there are some more objective than others, since design that we can not come to judge too much, but specifications , performance and experience itself.
We tell our opinion and assessment about the latest jewel in Google. This is the analysis of the Nexus 6 .
Very, very big
If you read my other reviews, you already know my phobia of phablets , or higher 5-inch smartphones. Still really do not have very clear, neither I nor anyone, what is the boundary between smartphone and phablet , but what is clear is that this is the second.
And the new Nexus 6 is a big mobile, inside and out . Has a diagonal of nothing more and nothing less than 5.96 inches .
Although the bevels are not large, these Dimensions 159.3 x 83 x 10.1 mm are excessive. And I mean to be as objective as possible. The mobile gives the feeling that you will get out of hand at any time. Obviously, unless your hands resemble the Hulk, you can not handle with one hand, and that, friends of Motorola or Google (do not know whose idea it was) is very uncomfortable and a drag everyday.
Yes, of course you have their pros, of course, no longer need a tablet, almost you, well, I think you have it, I do not see too much difference between a tablet of 7 and this smarphone 6 inches. In fact, I think if my pocket can afford, no doubt prefer this smartphone. The screen is really good . View multimedia content on it is a sensation. Not surprisingly has a QHD resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and a density of 493 ppi under the AMOLED technology .
That said, recalling once again that the screen looks really good, is not up to the best phablets the time . Both the iPhone 6 Plus or Galaxy Note 4 provide enhanced levels of brightness and viewing angles. In fact, we say that the brightness is relatively poor, is less than 300 nits of brightness, and under sunlight it shows a bit this weakness, and we would have liked it a bit more. In this sense also comment that provides an automatic adjustment of brightness based on ambient light to save battery.
As stated above were grateful that Google had opted for Motorola to make this mobile, largely for its good work with the Moto G and Moto X.
In particular the new Nexus largely resembles the Moto X on the rear deck, which offers a slight curvature that facilitates although providing instability grip on smooth surfaces to leave, but hey, the smartphones is to carry in your purse / pocket or hand, so Prize for Google. After the candy, now is the stick, and is none other than the same back cover, which is a magnet for fingerprints.

new Moto X was released last October 1, presenting features that make it the best terminal Brand. Then you have the most comprehensive analysis of one of the best smartphones of 2014 , a more attractive price.

This phablet has two front speakers on the upper and lower front that actually offer a sound quite high and powerful . Maybe a little saturated, but few phones have passed through our hands to improve this section.
To complete our analysis of the design of the Nexus 6 mention that The back cover is not removable The SIM neither is , and in general lines the design itself and lois materials are well kept and give the feeling of a mobile robust and high performance.
Battery and connectivity
Speaking of the battery have a lime and sand. The battery has a capacity of 3,220 mAh a priori to call the attention of the most inexperienced users into thinking that this is one of best mobile in relation to the battery but nothing further from the reality.
This is quite a high figure, but yet we see in everyday use is not as good as it seemed at first. Managing this is quite poor due largely using the big screen, both thematically dimensions, as resolution qHD , as even display type, AMOLED . Something that we saw in his day was going with LG G3, which also had a capacity of 3,000 mAh and did not render as it should because of the QHD screen.

Analysis (88)
We analyze the LG G3, qHD smartphone display 2560x1440p and a density of 538 dpi and OIS + camera and laser autofocus. It’s nice, is powerful and is undoubtedly one of the best phones of time within the high-end Android. Discover our opinion in this review.

And this mean, then, that with intensive; see social networking, web browsing, active notifications, use of camera, a short video playback, manage email and social networks, get very fair to day use. While in use a little more controlled capar even without any notice or other item, automatic brightness can lengthen to almost one and a half .
The phone features a standby time of 330 hours while conversation reaches 24 hours , information provided by Google itself.
So far the stick to a high-end mobile that it presupposes a better battery, and more so if we say that weighs 184 grams and costs 649 euros .
The great advantage of Nexus 6 with respect to the battery is the Turbo Charger . This is a feature that allows loading the smartphone much faster . You may upload up to 50% in just half an hour. It also carries the full load in just over an hour and a quarter.
In addition, this phone has a specific software with energy saving features , so can configure load consumption depending on personal use you make of the phone.
Connectivity
A level of connectivity features the Nexus 6 with connection LTE, NFC and WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4 and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth 4.1 LE.
In addition we also have typical sensors such as : accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer and brightness and proximity sensor
Software
Nexus 6 comes standard Android 5.0 Lollipop in its purest version with the Google Launcher Now and all the Google apps installed.
Being a pure and clean version running Android is beyond doubt, amazing fluidity and without any lags or bugs.
However, despite the great options that provides Android 5.0 We have detected that the Nexus 6 not fail as it should this new OS .
We especially liked the new function Ambient Display , a feature by which we can access the latest notifications of a much faster. These are shown from sleep mode on a gray clarito if you access them change blaco can delete directly from the lock screen or open. These are shown from sleep mode on a gray clarito if you access them change to white.
Hover over the image to see the differences
implementation of multitasking also being changed now much faster and easier to manage.
Finally also mention the option of handling multiple profiles or users and switch between them in just seconds .
House
So far we have seen how the Nexus 6 offered us a lime and sand and the photographic section we find more of the same.
In the same manner as the battery’s specifications seem to promise over what ultimately provides, with the camera passes just the same. If we look at the technical features offered we find a CMOS Sony IMX214 sensor 13 megapixel a size of 1 / 3.06 inch opening maximum f / 2.0 . In addition we also have an stabilizer optical and dual LED flash
We can not say that the Nexus 6 make bad pictures, but maybe we expected much more. We have detected The dynamic range is very low , ie images where there is a high contrast, very dark areas and other very clear areas where there is lots of light appear badly burned and only the details are perceived.
Here you have a gallery with some pictures taken with the Nexus 6:
options 32 and 64 GB should not tenener problems of space for your applications and other multimedia content, photos, videos and music .
Actually the Nexus 6 is very fluid, moving rapidly in any type of web transition or internal (pictures, applications, etc) as well as photo editing, and demanding games.
If we look the benchmark results we found that the Nexus 6 is slightly to one of the most powerful motives for the moment, the Galaxy Note 4. I left a comparison chart of both terminals.
| bechmark | Nexus 6 | Note 4 |
|---|---|---|
| Geekbench 3 (Multiscore / Single Score) | 3,219 / 1,045 | 3,188 / 1,093 |
| Antutu Benchmark | 49,555 | 4020 |
Conclusions
If we summarize this analysis of the Nexus 6 can emphasize that this phablet excels in performance, still well above any other Android phone.
The display is quite good, quite lifelike, good sharpness and contrast, color has a very good desidad pixel , close to 500 ppp and has a qHD resolution but with some shortcomings in the viewing angles and the maximum brightness, the low .
The camera is good, maybe one of the 10 best of the moment, if we talk about mobile, but far from great, and far from their closest competitors, the iPhone 6 Plus and Note 4. The dynamic range is scarce, and focus rather slow.
The battery could also offer a bonus over time, although we appreciate the inclusion of system Fast charging . As connectivity we can no objection, complete down to the smallest detail.
To complete this analysis, we have to speak of price of Nexus 6 . If until recently talking about Nexus was talking about a very competitive price now we can not say the same. And the Nexus 6 is available on Google Play for price of 649 euros in its version of 32 GB and 699 euros for 64 GB version . Something cheaper than for example an iPhone 6 Plus but very even to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
