Nexus 6 vs Nexus 5 size comparison (Cardboard Cutout)

[TheDroidKid]

Found some life size images of both the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6. I made some Cardboard cut outs. I currently use a Nexus 5 since launch, Defiantly harder to use the Nexus 6 with one hand.

I have used the Galaxy Mega 6.3 before, so it won't be too much of a shock.

It's nearly the size of the iPhone 6 Plus, and a little bigger than the Note 4, so I would just go in a store and hold that. Except Motorola design will be more comfortable to hold.

gflex is the the closest to the nexus in width. they have them at best buy and i guess att.

I was just messing around with my Nexus 7 and noticed I use it perfectly fine one handed.... There are times here and there were I use my other hand to balance it a little or even balance it against my thigh when sitting down... but for the most part It's not that hard to manage and operate with one hand...

Never paid attention until just a couple of minutes ago from reading all these threads lately... and the Nexus 6 has a smaller screen and way smaller bezel.... Going to be thicker though.... but way lighter....

That honestly doesn't look that bad. My Pops has an iPhone 6 Plus so I messed around with that helping him set it up. It's definitely large, but not impossible to use. I actually think the ergonomics of the N6 will be easier to wield. I also just checked out the Note 4 at AT&T and it was pretty easy and comfortable for me to use, even with the lock on the back. I don't think I'll have much issue with this, especially since it's exactly what I want. And no, I'm not a large dude. 5'10" on a good day. Small hands. Smell like cabbage. Oh wait, that's just carnies. But you get the point.

Got an issue, here's a tissue...

I'm curious how the thickness will feel in hand, given that it's a max thickness, and it tapers pretty hard to the edges. I haven't had a chance to hold the Moto X yet because the carrier stores in my area suck balls and don't stock it.

Anyone with experience holding the Moto X care to share thoughts on how thick it feels relative to its max thickness?

The new Moto X feels great in the hands! Actually feels smaller than my nexus 5. But this beast is slightly bigger...

Thanks. That was the sense I had from looking at it. The Moto X, like the Nexus, has a bigger max thickness than similarly sized phones, but I trust the curves make it feel thinner. I am assuming the same between the Nexus and, say, a Note 4.

We have two hands for a reason. Use them. Smh

I didn't know that our creator gave us two hands in anticipation of phablets. Thanks for that insight. SMH.

Some of us need to multi-task.

Is the other task dropping your phone?

 

[BEARD GANG]

Just buy it and adapt like we do with these hoes

Not sure I understand your comment but I'll give you an example for arguments sake:

I have a concealed carry permit. Someone is trying to rob me. I counter his attempt at a violent crime and hold him at gun point. There is no way in hell I am holstering my weapon so that I can dial 911 with two hands.

No need to be condescending. Different people have different thought processes. I think tactics.
