One? Battery.

Doesn't matter though, you're well into the red mist of supporting the Pure at all costs. I'm glad it's a good phone for you, but the OP asked if it was worth switching and I stand by my statement if you like the size of the N6 then no.

Battery? Really...is that all you got? That makes it a better phone? So if the battery lasts an hour or 2 longer that makes it a better phone? So if your Yugo gets 50 miles to the gallon and my Ferrari gets 5 miles to a gallon, I guess you have a better car than me? Wow... good logic. I've owned probably at least 15 smart phones, including the N6, along with the Droid turbo, which by the way lasts almost 2 days...so that must be the best phone ever made then. This is all about your comment that the pure is a step "backwards" from the N6, you clearly don't have clue. And you still haven't gave 1 clear reason that the N6 is the "superior" phone...oh yeah, battery life...SUPERIOR!!!

Forget it Clocks...just tell everyone the MXPE is a step "backwards" from the N6 and call it a day...

Re: Hopefully Marshmallow will show up

This is the reason I will not be upgrading to the turbo 2.

This month meaning November 2015 or November 2016? Seriously, I have a Maxx that is still on Lollipop. And, it took forever for my Turbo to get the update. This is why a lot of people aren't real happy with Moto (see the Droid Life article) and I can see why.

Of course, VZW shares some responsibility for this as well.....

Yeah, don't hold your breath on that one...

Re: Hopefully Marshmallow will show up

I'd be happy with this year. Motorola will likely release the Turbo update a week or two after releasing it for the Moto X Pure. Then add 2-4 weeks for Verizon to test and approve.

I'm thinking the Pure will make November.

Re: Hopefully Marshmallow will show up

Look for it June '16. Motorola is sloooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Meanwhile, LG is rolling out marshmellow to the G4's now, and HTC new phone comes with it pre-installed this month.

Never, ever believe anything about ota upgrade timing told to you by a customer service agent. They never know. It may turn out to be true, but it would be a coincidence.

The Droid Maxx and Droid Turbo forums have threads filled with all sorts of promises that upgrades are coming soon. Almost all of them were wrong. The ones that were right were just a coincidence.

Yeah, that worked really well for me with my droid Maxx. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice...That's why I went with the MXPE.

Basically I'm not in a hurry... I know it's a new phone so it's gonna get it soon.

Still can't figure out the obsession w upgrades 5.1.1 isn't old by any means.

The doze feature sounds cool, but i bet your phone will be more or less the same since it isn't a big upgrade.

I can see people wanting the latest and greatest, but then why not wait and get the phone when you will be happy w it?

I for applaud verizon for not sending 5.0 to the turbo, since it was so buggy. They catch a lot crap when they probably made the right choice to not release it until 5.1. Yet people would rather complain than be grateful.

I agree. Lollipop was a disaster at first.
