Google Nexus 6 Another 6 inch phone

[blackrabbitklan]

I went to Best Buy yesterday and manhandled the LG G Flex. I figured at 6 inches it would be a good device to use as a reference for the size of the Nexus 6. After holding it and comparing it to my S5, I found myself actually thinking I could use something that big as a daily driver, where before I was vehemently against going any bigger. I had considered the new Moto X, but it just lacks too many hardware features, and leather or wood aren't enough to convince me to give up OIS, wireless charging, and two front facing speakers (assuming the nexus will have them).



What do you think? Accurate comparison? After holding it and checking one-handed usability, I think I could go for something that size. I even think I could put that monster in the pocket of my skinny jeans

Now I'll need to go back to the store and check out the flex..... I remember just seeing it when the LG G3 came out.. I picked it up and didn't feel overwhelmed by it but didn't mess with it much.... I was interested (at the time) more in the form and feel of the G3....

I think 5.9 or 5.92 is ideal.. Love the idea of this for the next Nexus...

I'm definitely not interested in the G Flex at all, but holding it gave me hope that I can use the nexus 6. It was big, but not unmanageable.
