Just posting this because I know there've been conflicting reports, but it looks like there is double tap to wake on the Nexus 6 (albeit it's not perfect at the moment)

There are a few other points that - while I can't fully explore them here - are worth noting in the initial hands-on. First, the Nexus 6 does have double-tap to wake. The problem is - at least for now - the behavior is finicky. And I don't mean it's finicky in a way that you might get used to. I mean that it works maybe once out of every ten tries. Taps need to be direct and forceful, and it works best if the phone is lying on a flat surface, so tapping while it's in your palm isn't really an option. This is something that can (and hopefully will) be solved by a software update, but in the meantime it's a pain. That said, the lift-to-wake functionality works and nearly obviates the power button. Without the Moto X's extreme sensitivity though, you'll likely still find yourself hitting that little textured button.
