Everything about it looks great except for the 6'' screen. I understand the appeal of big screens, but 6'' is just too much.
I think they might keep the Nexus 5 around. Maybe in the future they will update it with a bigger battery and better camera.
Indeed http://www.google.com/nexus/5/ and http://www.google.com/nexus/9/
I've bought every nexus phone when they were released, but I'm not sure about this one. The nexus 5 is already a bit oversized IMO. This thing is ridiculous.
The fact that this has a thunderbolt resolution display shows how lame it is most desktops haven't adopted 4k yet.
Just got up a Seiki 39" from Walmart.com for $329. After some flashing and calibration, its a beast! Highly recommended for day to day/dev use. Gaming, too, but not in 4k. It can do 1080p 120hz.
For coding / web browsing, how good is the screen (i.e. can you notice lag for those use cases). I have heard mixed things about the Seki 39" but it looks like it could be a great development monitor

> Camera > 13MP front-facing with optical image stabilization > 2MP rear-facing Is it really 13MP front-facing? Selfie optimization!
Great! This is why I bought an HTC One M8 instead of a Nexus 5. Great for speakerphone or if you do watch a video on that high resolution display.
It amazes me how the essentials get sacrificed really easily and that consumers often don't demand better when they are purchasing. I would buy a Mac, but I do have to demand a matte screen instead of just getting accustomed to glare.
This thing is a beast in every sense of the word! also with dual front speakers! That can make a huge difference in sound quality. However it looks like this is heading to $500+ territory so the days of a cheap good Nexus may be coming to an end. Looks like the Moto E etc is filling that niche.
This was the most disappointing thing for me. While it might be a fantastic device, and I might still choose it, at that price I'll be more carefully considering the alternatives. The Nexus 5, with its specifications and price point, was a no-brainer. This one doesn't make that decision quite to simple.
