Google Shamu: Motorola Nexus 6 (Nexus X)

[Gekko]

Re: Motorola Nexus 6/Nexus X/Shamu

I'm looking forward to this thing. Can't wait to hear first impressions and actually see it. A case will make it even bigger though. Imagine using a tablet as your phone and you'll get an idea how big, although hopefully it'll be more lightweight. I'm wondering how many people will be returning it, lol.

people who have the Galaxy Note and the iPhone 6 Plus and other big Phablet phones say it takes 3-4 days to get used to the size of the device. but they also say once you go big you can never go back - which i believe!

I've actually carried my Nexus 7 around in my pocket before and tethered off my phone.... The bezel on the N7 is pretty substantial but for the most part I could fit it somewhat comfortably in my front Khaki and jean pockets.... It was a little too big.... I've played around with both the Note 3 and G3 and without a case both are very comfortable in the pocket and to use... The G3 more so than the note.... I really wanted to get a Note 3 but passed for the N5 last year.... I held out on the G3 waiting to see what Google would do for a Nexus 5 follow up.... then when the rumors came out it was 5.9 inches I just had to wait and see what they released..

I'd venture to guess you'll see a decent number of them on Swappa or maybe even Craigslist a few weeks or months after it's released.... I know I'll keep my N5 for at least a month before I sell it just in case I change my mind.... but since I rarely talk on the phone this is perfect... I'll probably sell both my N7 and N5 with this....

I have the OPO which, thank goodness, isn't as massive but still quite large and I'm still more comfortable some days with my Nexus 5 in my hand. But I'm not as sure handed as I used to be, so it's an individual thing. Some days the OPO feels great in my hand so it's definitely a matter of what you get used to a lot of the time. Still, I'm excited to see this new Nexus even though I won't be getting it. Hopefully there will be one in 2015 a bit smaller. Bigger than the OPO is just too big for my old hands.

2. i never use screen protectors and have a lot of faith in Gorilla Glass 3 - BUT even Gorilla Glass 3 will scratch under certain circumstances. i've found that beach sand is Gorilla Glass kryptonite.

Sand and Diamonds are two things harder than glass..... Metal is not.......

I used to have the HTC One Max which was 5.9"... that was a great phone and size had nothing to do with why I switched to the slightly smaller Note 3. I really like large phones... Just saw a rumor on Pocket now I believe it was, that said VZW will get the N6. If this is true then count me in!

Re: Motorola Nexus 6/Nexus X/Shamu

I think everyone single Verizon customer that cares about Nexus will get this phone regardless.... we've been waiting FAR too long!!

It may not matter as much if we had had the opportunity at the 4 or 5.

Nice to see a phone without plastic wrap all over it.

I just wish they would release it already. I am ready for it and excited about the 6" form factor. I don't think this will see like the N5, but I think some may be surprised at how well it will actually sell.

Jerry said the phone that leaked is 99% accurate, I trust my fellow #BeardGang member

I assume you mean in podcast #205 ( Nexus or Pinto ). I can't wait to listen.

No problem. I'm assuming it will be more than the Nexus 5.
