I'm all for pushing as many pixels as we can, but not at the expense of battery life. I'll happily take a 720p screen if it buys me even a mediocre improvement in battery life.
Brightness and total screen size matter more for battery life than resolution...
I agree that we are at a time when battery life should be prioritized, but I would prefer that to come from thickness. Increasing the thickness by just 25% or so would allow a much larger battery.

> Its simply too large for the average user. > Why can't smartphone manufacturers understand that a longer battery life is whats lacking in mobile devices? I think it's quite bold to speak in such factual terms when talking about the "average" consumer or the market. Your opinion does not necessarily apply to everyone, or even the majority of the users. Not that I disagree with you, mind. It seems to me that these ma…
Considering Apple's main phone is under 5 inches, I think that statement is at least somewhat true. Sure some people will want phablets, but I'm sure Apple at least did their research for making more iPhone 6s than 6 Pluses.
I'm sure Apple does market research, but they've proven to be very susceptible to their own dogma.

#3355.96” - A phone just under 6". This is possibly the biggest disappointment about the phone. Its simply too large for the average user. The nexus 5 was already quite difficult to reach the top corners with one hand in my opinion with its 4.95”. you get over 24 hours of use from a full charge. - too many times I have heard this phrase from other smartphone manufacturers and its never true. Since this phone is made by M…
Having held an Xperia Z Ultra in my hand, I'm pretty sure I'll never want more than 5 inches of screen space, and double mega quad resolutions are useless at that size IMO.
Re: Nexus 6
#336I see an important question looming on the 5-year horizon: how are people going to be carrying these large devices? Clearly carrying large phones in pockets is impossible for many, increasingly impractical for many more, and simply undesirable to the curious. Will handbags or hip bags become common for all? Will the average size of phones rebound and approach some smaller-screen equilibrium size near 5"? Everything d…
Re: Nexus 6
#337Seems kind of big for a phone though. This Nexus 4 that I have is about as large a phone as I'd want.
Re: Nexus 6
#338Using the N5 I already have a problem distinguishing the top from the bottom at a glance. I'm sure with the new design this will be much more than a minor nuisance.

Just because a kid wants more chocolate does not mean you should give it to him. It may make him happy at first but is not good for him in long run.
What are people/me saying here is that, we should/can achieve the same functionality with smaller phones. We should.
In hundred years, people will laugh at these phones!
Too big considering what it does and provides to people.

This screen size is so, so disappointing. I'm an iphone 5s user and was eagerly awaiting the new Nexus to make the switch to Android. But 6" is a tablet that can make calls, not a phone. I WANT to switch to Android/Nexus for hundreds of reasons but this screen size is a deal break. I need a phone I can use like... a phone. I've tried the iphone 6 plus in person and it's a monstrosity to use, definitely not a one hand…
