There is a missed opportunity in the tagline. Instead of "More space to explore" it should have said "More space for Activities". Because, you know, the Activity class.

#6225.96” - 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.

This is just your personal opinion.
You cannot discount the fact that so many customers want buy phablets these days, that even Apple thought it makes sense to deliver a phablet iPhone for these customers.
I had the same beliefs up until I bought the Note 2 a few years ago. Since then every single phone I bought for private use has been a phablet, and now I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus.
And yes, it's not only 24 hours you get, I get 2 days out of phablets, but I'm rarely playing video games.
But here's the good news for you: smaller phones aren't disappearing. If you don't like phablets, there are powerful high end phones with 4.5-5 inches from every manufacturer. So there's really nothing to complain about.

Can you elaborate?
I think he's saying he rather use a landline, so they can't pin point his location via GPS
No I was merely stating the Google's business model is subsidised via owning your data. Which then they can manipulate/share at their discretion. Which is fine because you get an affordable piece of tech right? ... right? ...

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…
You know, they still sell the Nexus 5. I have it and it's a perfectly fine phone and I feel no need to upgrade.
Re: Nexus 6
#625I bought the Nexus 5 as soon as it was released and have really liked it, however, I'm not sure I'll be buying this one. The biggest issue I have is the screen size. I just think 6" is over my threshold. At $649 I can basically buy any other phone off contract. One of the original appeals of the Nexus 5 was the low price. No wireless charging either? Not a dealbreaker, but I did use it on my 5.
I'm in the same boat. On one hand, I have no need to upgrade my Nexus 5 yet because it still runs everything without any issues and will be getting the latest version of the OS. It's more about having an "upgrade path" in the event that I break my phone or it gets stolen. I also bought mine for $350 at launch and at that price, I wouldn't feel terrible if I had to buy a similarly priced (but modestly updated) device…

They still sell the N5. If you like the one you have, you could just buy another one.
It is so frustrating to see all this "oh no, it's too big, what will I do" when the Nexus 5 is still in stock and shipping.
Re: Nexus 6
#626After long back and forth I ended up buying iPhone 6 over Nexus 5. So the news of Nexus 6 was exciting but it still seems bit behind on hardware front: * No 128GB memory option. This is absolutely important for me and it seems Apple is the only one of few company who gets this. I started running out of 64 GB long time ago. * No TouchID equivalent which is excellent and works flowlessly on iPhones. * No slow-mo videos…
I agree with many of your points, but
> started running out of 64 GB long time ago.
I started running out of 140 characters a long time ago, twitter isn't the place for a novel.
>Plus it lacks motion processor that monitors my movements
You're selling this as positive for the iPhone?

This is the only reason why I am not buying this shovel of a phone.

iPhone 6 Plus generally fits in to US size 38 or larger jeans. However the word "fits" here begs a fine print. Once you put that in pocket, you can't put anything else. Also it really "sticks" out and whenever you sit or stand up, you will fill its presence. Even if you solved pocket issue somehow, the fact is that human hands are not made for this kind of size. You really can't type with one hand. On a long phone ca…
38 or larger? That sounds huge. I don't have any numbers to quote but my guess is that the average for adult men here in scandinavia would be 34. I guess I have to gain some weight so that I can buy new pants for my phone, if it just barely fits in 38 maybe 42 is a good size to aim for.
I wear a 30 waist and fairly tight pants and I have no problem fitting the 6 plus in my front pocket.

You're seriously questioning why someone would want more storage on their mobile device? Clearly 640kb is enough for anyone.
