The Nexus 6 isn't as big as you guys think.!

[jtc276]

Probably them ultra skinny pants which restrict blood flow, they usually have smaller pockets than the standard straight fit jeans

Or, ya know, pants that look good on them. I don't wear skinny jeans, but I'm a thin person and I've never looked good in loose fitting jeans. Slim-fitting jeans are my go-to, and I don't plan on buying new pants that I like less just because no Android manufacturer out there wants to make a reasonably-sized device. I'm still baffled by this new direction that the Nexus line is taking. I just can't see who can look at a 6" phone and find it practical. Maybe I'll take that back in a year, but I found the LG G3 to be the absolute largest I'll ever go with a phone (and even then, it was a little uncomfortable) and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

LG G2 is the perfect size phone and screen (for me). Like the battery in the Nexus 6. Deciding between the Moto X and Nexus 6!

We all have our requirements, but why not use 2 hands?

That's why I bought the note 3. Bigger battery and bigger screen then my nexus 5 which battery a was sub par Imo. Got the note 4 but might want to see if I can return it and pre order the nexus 6 at t-mobile

I made a mock up of the Nexus 6 using cardboard from a six pack of German beer my dad swears by lol. I used the dimensions of the official phone. I have to say that it's really not bad. If I do buy this phone it will definitely replace my tablet.

(Sorry about the images being at a 90 degree angle my tablet is always doing that for some reason)

I don't find it puzzling. I don't think smaller Android flagships sell well.

Because nobody makes them! Except Sony, which hardly counts anyways considering their release track record in the states.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. Getting it, and getting rid of my tablet. I definitely will be going in store to play with one before deciding, because it is a very big phone.

Tried this but when I calibrated my screen for comparison the nexus 6 disappeared.

That's interesting b/c it worked great for me using Chrome.

 

[mrsmumbles]

I'm using Chrome in my phone. I picked the 1+ to compare it to and then the nexus disappeared....

I wonder if it's possibly b/c you're on your phone and this is trying to give you lifesize comparisons. Like, I literally took my Moto X and put it on the screen and it was identical in size. Due to the 6 being bigger than your phone, that'd be my guess. Attempt it from a PC or laptop.

Haha, unfortunately I can't, but I'll take your word that the body is bigger.

I'm currently using the HTC Desire 816. Using the PhoneArena comparison page I see that the Nexus 6 , HTC Desire 816, and the IPhone 6 Plus are basically the same size. Give or take a few mm here and there. The N6 has a 6" screen where as the Iphone and Desire 816 have 5.5" screens.
I have no problems carrying and using the 816 so I should have no problems with the N6.

The N6 is 3 mm taller, about 4 mm wider, and 2 mm thicker then the Desire 816.

I'd also like to add that if you calibrate the screen with a phone or credit card it really does work. I compared other phones that I have on hand and after a one time calibration they all showed on screen as the exact size they actually are.

I usually wear Levis 505s.

I'm deciding on this phone too but I'm also one of the ones worried about the size. It's a good idea if I was going to replace my tablet but I just picked up the Nvidia shield.. I think I might stay 5. 2 mayyybeee 5. 5 range six too big for me

Note 4
153.5 mm X 78.6 mm, 8.5 mm deep

Nexus 6
159.26 mm X 82.98 mm, 10.06 mm deep

Bigger than the Note 4 in every way. No matter how you look at it, it is a big phone!

This comparison REALLY helped me. I could put in my current phone (Note 2) and compare to Nexus 6 and Note 4. Nice.

 

[anon(11078)]

The Moto X is the maximum size I want for a phone. Actually it's a smidgen bigger than I like. Thus, the Nexus 6 is an automatic no go. If the Nexus 6 was smaller I would have given it serious consideration.

 

[planoman]

This is true. I saw the dimensions on the play store today and then checked it against my iPhone 6+ and it is a tad taller and wider but not by much. I had dismissed the Nexus 6 initially but it is back in the running! That would be quite pair!

 

[hurricane87]

Umm on that video the note has a bigger screen than the mock up... That's not right.
