Google Shamu: Motorola Nexus 6 (Nexus X)

[Kwdan]

Sounds like L is offering everything that I already have with "Mahdi Rom"!

cough-overpriced-cough

At least from Google. Maybe the contract price on carriers will make it palatable.

I don't think so, I think the price is right for the specs, which is as good or better than other flagships, but you get excellent Motorola quality. But it is more than I want to spend right now since I have a Moto X, so I'm probably skipping this one for now.

Can you link that page? I don't see anything about Qi on the Moto blog.

Here it is...

Wow that price!!! But you know what?? I'm still getting it. I been waiting for an upgrade for what it seems like an eternity. This is my next phone.

what's your current phone and carrier?

Think I'm gonna get me a nice case for my One Plus One. Price is too rich for my blood and the dimensions frankly dwarf my OPO, which is a bit too big as is.

Such a massive disappointment if that $650 is the final off contract price. I thought Google was hoping to encourage people to quit contracts and get $299/349/399 phones off contract. That OPO suddenly looks much better despite the terrible marketing they have. Oppo also has something coming up this month, so I suppose I will hang on to the Nexus 4 longer than expected

Edit: No Nexus 5 in stock and no Android 5 for the Nexus 4 is just salt to this wound lol

 

[TheDroidKid]

where are we getting prices from? If its from a carrier remember the nexus 5 off contact was like 500 bucks

OPO seems insanely buggy to me. I was interested...specs/price is right, but too afraid of constant crashes and freezes to go for it.

 

[BEARD GANG]

Think im just gonna get an iphone instead

 

[TheDroidKid]

wow I guess for the first time in 4 years i'm going to have to sign up on a 3 year with Rogers

Little disappointed by price, since assuredly the 64 GB version will clock in around $699+ but I'm still getting one. Quite excited. Lack of wireless charging is rather concerning though.

Nexus 6: 159 x 82.98 x 10.06 mm ( 6.26 x 3.27 x 0.36 in)
Dimensions, here are the Note 4's for comparison
Note 4: 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm (6.04 x 3.09 x 0.33 in)

Definitely big but not by much. I think I'll be okay with it.

I don't know where you get that info from, but the OPO was extremely smooth to me with no crashes or freezes, it's still the fastest phone today. There were some minor issues when it was released but the updates fixed all that.

 

[strav22]

I was in the "anything over 5.2 inches is too big" camp. After seeing some leaks of the Nexus 6, I had a change of heart. I was ready to buy today.

After that price spike though, I'm done, I'll stay with my Nexus 5. Very disappointed.

Yeah it is larger than I thought it would be. Phone Arena has a nice comparison guide that you can calibrate to get in ideal how large the device actually is. Google Nexus 6 Size - Real life visualization and comparison

No wireless charging no buy. I was going to not root and use stock Android on my device away, and the Moto X offers me that already.

It has Qi.

Lots of folks over at their forums talk about issues with stability regarding certain tasks. They had a big OTA update that was supposed to help with a lot of issues though. For what length of time did you use one?
