Switching from the iPhone 6 Plus to the Nexus 6

[ctt1wbw]

So I just ordered a brand new in box never opened Nexus 6. I'm currently using an iPhone 6 Plus. I know this is going to sound nuts, but the 6 Plus is too small for me. Either my hands are getting bigger or my eyes are getting worse. My eyes are getting worse. I just got bifocals last year, so yeah.

I know the Nexus 6 is about a year old or so right? But my main concern was getting the largest screen size I could. Memory and RAM are not a primary concern as I don't keep movies and stuff on the phone. But I really wanted a Nexus again (I used to own a Nexus 7) so I could get Marshmallow and soon Android N.

So yeah, I'm pretty freaking giddy right now.

Grats. It's still an awesome phone. I have it and it's brother the 6P as my daily drivers right now. Did you see that the N preview is available?

Yeah I did. It looks super sweet as does Marshmallow. I'm sure when I get it I'll have to update it to 6.0. And I was considering signing up for the public beta of N.

I'm on 6.0.1 marshmallow on my N6 and loving it, I went from IOS 6 years ago to Android, and loving my N6.
Good luck!

So it showed up today. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. So much nicer than my 6 Plus. And do you realize how long it takes to update a sealed Nexus 6 from Android 5 to 6.0.1 OTA? Wow! Anyway, I love it.

Thanks for that link, but I did all that last week. Just to get ahead of the game. Maybe you could point me in the right direction for the best youtube video of getting used to Marshmallow. I can't seem to find one that isn't 8 months old.

None, I just wanted a great current overview of some of the features.

I think I already know, but what made you switch from the 950XL? I have an 830 that's due to be updated soon and I'm considering the N6 or the 950/950XL.

Software.
Crashes/glitches were the norm.
Over time it would obviously improve. With it's return window I had to make a choice.
My choice was to wait for MS to get the kinks out.
Camera was great, really great....
With Nexus 6 as backup, it made the choice pretty painless.

I switched back to the Nexus 6 from the iPhone 6S Plus. It was pure impulse. But so far I have no complaints.

What exactly is daily drivers, you use both phones at the same time.

Yes at the time the 6p was my personal phone and the 6 was my work phone. I've since changed the 6 out for a 5x.

My Nexus 6 feels like a new phone to me, on mm 6.0.1

It is still very snappy. I haven't had any issues with it at all.
