Moto X Pure vs Google Nexus 6

[ScottsoNJ]

Now that the Google Nexus 6 has dropped the $349 I'm thinking about not getting the Moto X pure and getting the Google Nexus 6. The Nexus is $100 cheaper and specs wise just a tad less then the Motorola. What's everybody's opinion? Do you think it's better to save $100 and get the Nexus 6?

I've used the nexus 6 for a while and got my mxe today. The mxpe is much more friendly on the hands. From other reports battery life seems similar (4 hours sot).

Camera is a little better on the mxpe, video camera is much better.

If the size doesn't bother you the nexus 6 is a great deal. But the mxpe has some nice improvements (size, moto features).

At that price the Nexus 6 became irresistible and I decided to replace the trusty Nexus 5 I had planned on keeping for another year of two. My wife has had a Nexus 6 for quite a while and just loves it. I was impressed with the speed and smoothness, smoothest phone I'd ever used. The N6 also has a good, quality feel.

I got it a few days ago, typing this on it now. I absolutely feel like I made the right decision. A terrific phone.

Where are you seeing that price. The Google Store still shows $499 for 32GB.

Got mine from Amazon, but several other dealers have offered the same deal. $350 for 32GB, $400 for 64GB.

Uh, they've got to fix that blurb! It says it doesn't work with Sprint but it does work with Fi (which is half on Sprint network).

Best Buy also has them for $349

I thought the video might be better on the 6 because it has OIS. Does the Pure also have OIS ?

I currently have both and I am having a hard time deciding which one to keep. It seems that the battery on N6 lasts longer, on my use. They are both great phones and very similar.
