The fact that this has a thunderbolt resolution display shows how lame it is most desktops haven't adopted 4k yet.
What on earth is a "thunderbolt resolution display"?

Re: Nexus 6
#582I've owned an EVO, a Note 2 and a Nexus 5. The form factors being small, large and medium-to-large, respectively. I went from small to large, and while I thought the Note 2 had fantastic specs, it was too unwieldy for me and I decided to downsize to the Nexus 5. I still find the Nexus 5 a bit unwieldy with one handed use, but it's at least possible. Which brings me to my current conclusion: I want a smaller phone whi…
it's not perfect, but something in between the Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 compact sounds like what you're looking for. Xperia Z3 has 1080P screen, 3Gb ram, 5.2" screen. Xperia Z3 Compact has 720P screen, 2GB ram, 4.6" screen. Both have microSD expansion, both have very solid processors and battery life, and sony's android is a very lightweight add-on to stock android. Maybe a slight compromise in either direction will get…
Yeah definitely, and thanks for the great recommendation. The Z3 is getting close, but still slightly too big. The Compact is the right size, or even a touch small, but it sacrifices the resolution. It's very cool that it's water proof though. My Note 2 died in a hot tub!

#5835.96” - 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…
There's a phone for you already released - Sony Xperia Z3 compact.

Google and Apple both see the writing on the wall. We (affluent technophiles) will be using our watches as a primary interface and the "phone" category will evolve into mini-tablets for composing longer messages and web browsing.
The largest technical leap in battery life will come from looking at your watch 100+ times per day rather than your phone.
Re: Nexus 6
#585It seems like we just got the Nexus 5, the Nexus One is still fun to pull out and mess with. The One was the perfect size. I'm not even sure the 6 would fit in my pants pocket? Seems like it would jab into my groin when driving. Storage isn't even listed or Chrome's Ctrl+F can't find it? Does it have external storage or expandable storage? The 5 messed this up.
Re: Nexus 6
#586I reckon they should have just gone with HTC for both tablet and phone.. it would have resulted in a much better outcome on the latter.

I don't want some honking monstrosity on my wrist pretending to be a watch. I want my Nexus One back with expandable storage and more than 200 Megs space for apps and a camera as good as in my 5. You know...a phone, smart, one each.

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…

This will probably sound like a troll as I understand windows phone isn't popular here but my Nokia 630 lasts over 48 hours of medium usage EASILY on a tiny 1830mAh battery, has a perfectly sized 4.5" screen, has navigation that doesn't shit itself in the countryside and costs £99 SIM free off Amazon. The camera is shit but I tend to lug around a DSLR anyway if there's anything worth taking a photo of, so the phone i…
If I only wanted to use the core functions of the phone (browsing, calls, etc.), I would definitely buy a Windows Phone. It's just lacking a lot of fun, useful apps.
Re: Nexus 6
#590I find this an interesting departure by the trend which has been set by the previous phones in the Nexus program. Prior phones followed an average lower price that what is most likely to be seen here. Given that the Nexus program has stood as the pinnacle of the Android environment more so than just simply being "reference" hardware it does seem logical to me that Google would want to escalate the quality and produce a true flagship. That being said, this is also atypical and as much as it plays into the trend of higher quality for the entire ecosystem, it also undermines their tenant of simply finding hardware which promotes the qualities that the OS does. In the end it is most likely I will still buy the phone, but still, on morals, I dislike the anticipated pricing.
