Just wondering if around April /may...
I can up grade then and from what i can see a two year old nexus 4 gets lollipop before anything outside of Google would it be worth getting?

A phone with LolliBug? I wouldn't want one and I wouldn't "update" to it.

Thank you for asking this question. I am also wondering. Simply don't have the need (or the cash) for a phone right now but I am really curious about the Nexus 6 and I doubt that Google will have a clear successor to this phone next year (a Nexus phablet). But I'm a little worried that if I buy the Nexus 6 later it will be outdated too quickly. Anyone else have any (helpful) comments in this regard? Obviously none of us can predict the future.

I've read it called "lolliflop" on here.

People are still buying Nexus 5's. I wouldn't worry about the 6 getting too old throughout this year. It's going to be just as good as most of the flagships coming out this spring. If it weren't so expensive I'd probably get one too.

I personal do not see it as a flop...... From what i have seen most other phones update for 18 months and there done, where the nexus line has a phone two years old getting the latest version of Android..

I just got my 4 so I'll say it would still be a good deal.

I'm guessing you're using Samsung's 'Lollipop'. Otherwise, what bugs are you talking about?

To the OP, the Nexus 6 will be worth getting as long as you think that it is worth it. It should continue to be relevant and receive updates for a while. If in a few months, you still like the thought of it, you should get it.

LolliBug, Lolliflop, Lollipo0p. I'd used all these monikers after reading the many horror stories. To be fair and honest, though, after spending last weekend auditioning a NeXuS 6 it was not bad. With Nova Prime and replacing the boringly yucky stock font (after rooting) it was fine to use and I didn't notice any bugs, granted, I only had it for 3 days.

Lollipop hasn't been buggy for me.

Just wait till it's free so you can complain about a free phone.

Nice run-on sentence. I don't even understand what you're asking.

Been great for me too.

Me three. Though, I would expect nothing less from a phone that shipped with Lollipop. However, if it is one of the many phones that are upgrading to Lollipop, I can understand if there may be some bugs.

Yeah if you want the pure android experience.

The Nexus 5 is still a pretty solid phone, so I don't see how the Nexus 6 won't still be a great phone in 6-7 months. If you're looking for a stock Android phone, it would most likely still hold the title best stock device.

I used a Nexus 6 for a bit (probably getting one again) and I noticed a couple of bugs, but nothing crazy. The biggest issue I ever had was the screen not lighting up when it rang a couple times and I had to press the power button to answer the call. I'm sure by the time you plan on getting one, that bug will be squashed.

After a major OS upgrade, there's always those people that instead of waiting for the inevitable bugs to be worked out, jump right in and criticize. It's predictable. I haven't had any issues on my N5 or N6.

There are two ways to look at an April upgrade depending on your point of view. If you value stability then you can view a six month old device as old enough to have had the bugs worked out but young enough to have all of the features that you really need. If you value having the very latest thing then you'll want to buy a device within a month or two of it's announcement. Personally I'm in the second camp. Because of all of the production delays on the N6 I've lost all interest in it, I've decided to stick to my Nexus 5 until the 2015 phone comes out. I'm hoping that the display on the 2015 device will be smaller than the N6's, I think 6" is just to big. I'm also hoping for a Snapdragon 820 although my best guess is that it will be an 810. The 820 is in a 14nm FInFET process which should help battery life a lot. The wild card would be an Intel 14nm processor. Intel is the process leader but they have very little presence in the mobile world. They've been paying Chinese tablet makers to use their mobile processors but that doesn't give them much visibility, an Intel based Nexus would be huge for them, it's low enough volume so that their subsidies won't hurt that much but it's very high visibility.

Probably going to get it in two weeks... Stock android, updated right away witu latest software, continue updating possibly two years later if it follows suit like nexus 4..... I see it as the logical choice had a samsung note 3 so big phone doesn't bother me..
