The Nexus 6 is gigantic.
It’s bigger than the iPhone 6 Plus’ 5.5-inch screen and the Galaxy Tab’s 5.6-inch display, measuring in at an astounding 5.96-inches. Make no mistake, the Nexus 6 is for People Who do not mind looking a little silly They use a phone while That’s almost the size of an iPad Mini.
If you’re a fan of smaller phones, particularly the pint-sized (At least in comparison) Nexus 5, this is not the smartphone for you. The Nexus 6 Is Difficult for the average person to hold in one hand and Also will not fit in MOST people’s pockets, Reviews having a large screen but does have any available number of advantages when it comes to web browsing and playing games.

The phone is Essentially a supersized version of Motorola’s Moto X superb, And Also marks a shift from LG-manufactured Nexus branded smartphones, to devices created by Motorola. With esta shift Also comes the loss of one of the Nexus line’s Most attractive features – price.
The appeal of Google’s Nexus line Until now was always related to its very affordable price tag. When the Nexus 4 Launched, users Could get a high-end smartphone for just $ 299 – it was a borderline revolutionary notion Given the price of MOST smartphones back in 2012. The Nexus 5 Followed to the same pricing strategy and budget Launched at $ 350.
Enter the Nexus 6 costs an astounding $ 750, putting it in the same price territory as other high-end smartphones like the LG G3 and the HTC One M8. Granted, it’s a much higher-quality manufactured device and better looking phone than previous Nexus-branded products, but the price hike Between the Nexus 5 and 6 is a tad extreme, Especially For Those hoping to get Their hands on another reasonably priced Nexus device .

The release of the Nexus 6 Also marks a shift in Google’s strategy from providing customers affordable Android smartphones, to Competing with Apple and the iPhone, raising the price of Their flagship line in an effort to Encourage Consumers to associate the term “Nexus” with a high-end product. Google ADOPTED at a similar strategy With Its $ 429.99 8.9-inch Nexus tablet in September.
But if neither price nor size is a Concern for you, the Nexus 6 is one of the best looking and Most Powerful Android smartphones on . the market
The Nexus 6 does not have any any physical buttons, much like the Nexus 5 and 4 and Its 5.96-inch HD 2,560 x 1,440 above screen – Google and Motorola are calling this “Quad HD “- is great for browsing the internet and playing games,, Although the massive screen and resolution does seem to Have Affected the smartphone’s battery life, DESPITE ITS massive 3,220 mAh power source (Which is the same as the Galaxy Note 4′s). With average use I ended up getting Somewhere Between six and seven hours of battery life out of the Nexus 6.

The smartphone’s rubberized back is easy to hold onto And Also Protects the phone, much like the Nexus 6 and other smartphones With a similar builds. The small dip in the contoured back of the smartphone Allows you to slide your index finger in and Makes holding the Nexus 6 slightly Easier,, Although in overall the new plastic back is a little more slippery than the Nexus 5′s And Also scuffs shows, grease and scratches more easily. In terms of other build related positives, the smartphone’s power and volume buttons feel more solid than previous Nexus models.
Since the Nexus 6 is a flagship Google phone, esta Also Means Their owners will get hands on the smartphone’s latest operating system right When it launches, Which is a great for any one Concerned about Android’s operating system heavily divided. Android 5.0 Lollipop has-been out for a few months (it’s disponible on the Nexus 6 Nexus 9 and a few other high-end smartphones) and i t’s a significant upgrade over previous Android operating systems, marking a new, extremely colorful direction for Android .
Lollipop también está clean, minimal and comes with a few new, interesting features like smart locking, Allowing users to bypass the smartphone’s home screen When A Known Bluetooth device is nearby, as well overall as battery life and other performance upgrades

The Nexus 6 comes equipped with a 13-megapixel rear camera, a step above the Nexus 5′s 8-megapixel camera, as well as better optical stabilization. Overall though the camera is only a marginal upgrade over the Nexus 5′s photography capabilities,, Although it does perform better in low-light conditions, producing images with Less noise than ITS Predecessors.
The smartphone’s Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801 también está the best you can get in an Android smartphone right now, and MOST is On par with other high-end smartphones. Graphically-intensive games, multitasking, web browsing, as well as watching HD video, all work great, and I found it Nearly impossible to get the smartphone to stutter, needed regardless of what app or how many apps I was running at the same time.
The Nexus 6 is a great phone, but it will only appeal to a specific demographic: those interested in “phablet” ultra-huge smartphones and WHO are not scared of dropping $ 750 (if you purchase it outright) on a smartphone. While the Nexus 6′s minimalist rubberized body looks decent, I still prefer the HTC One M8 and the LG G3′s brushed silver metal body, over the Nexus 6′s rubber backing, Especially Given the smartphones hefty price tag.
The Nexus 6 in all its glory rubberized.

Nexus 6
Manufacturer: Motorola / Google
Price: $ 750 (32GB), $ 799 (64GB)
Release Date: November, 2015
It’s Also Important to keep in mind the Nexus 6 is not a mass-consumer device, and other budget smartphones like the Moto G, Nokia Lumia 530 and HTC Desire 510, as well as a slew of other affordable devices, arguably That fill void much better than Google’s Nexus line ever did. Then there’s this argument; if you like the concept of the Nexus 6, but are not fond of Its massive size, You Could always just purchase the Moto X, since it’s almost Exactly the same device.
But if you’re a fan of massive phones and do not mind the Nexus 6′s expensive price tag, Google and Motorola’s latest phone Might be perfect for you.
Releasing the Nexus 6 at Such a high price and with a premium audience in mind is a gamble for Google, and it’s unclear if the wager will pay off.
