Hey all, with the N6 release almost here I've been looking at launchers on the play store trying to get a better idea of what I might want to use once I've got the phone. All I've had experience with is Apex, but as I was going through the pages for different launchers I've noticed some talk about how they can be optimized for different screen sizes.
With the Nexus 6 being my first big phone, I wanted to see if anybody had any insights on which launchers or specifically the features in certain launchers would work best for a bigger phone or what they've liked in the past (I know having gestures will be important). Feel free to chime in with what launcher you're going to be using or if you're not going to download a third party one at all. I've also been wondering if any N6 functionality might be lost with a new launcher as well, the same way I've heard the Note 4 can lose some functionality with the S-Pen. What's caught my eye so far is obviously Nova, Smart Launcher 2, Themer, and Buzz.
I'm sure at this point there's a lot of crossover in terms of features between all of these, and different things will work out better for different people depending on their personal preferences and what they use their phone for, but I'm still interested to hear everybody's thoughts especially from those with more experience trying out different launchers and what's worked best.
