Yeah it's size is it's biggest weakness IMHO.I really want to like this phone but it's just too big. I don't know what Google were thinking with this one
That could be Russian for all I know. Didn't understand a word. Will get a tech dictionary out....
One annoying thing I just noticed, after it randomly booted into safe mode it has signed me out of a load of apps. Quite frustrating having to go back through them all again.
But then it would just be a Moto X2 with no reason to call it a Nexus so why not just think of it as the Moto X2 Pure Edition Plus.For me the N6 was too big. Moto should have made it like the Moto X2 and 5.5 inch screen. That would be one sweet phone.
Absolutely, with a 5,5"display I would buy it immediately.I really want to like this phone but it's just too big. I don't know what Google were thinking with this one
I'd prefer 5.0 but I would stretch to 5.5.
I don't think 5.9" will ever be considered normal. I think normal will continue to be between 5 and 5.5".
The warning I gave right off the bat when I bought mine and used it for awhile was its size. It's big, no way round it because of its width.
Great for videos and games and browsing but for handling and ergonomics, forget it.

Yeah it is the width more than height that makes it feel very big.
Love stock android on it though
5.1 has been excellent for me.
I came from the mega so was used to a big phone and the nexus is a fraction smaller but at the gym today this lady had the iPhone 6+ which looked huge but I do love a big phone lol.
But I agree its not for everybody I just couldn't see myself using a device less than 6 inches going forward its a nice sweet spot for my usuage pattern

Completely stock. Haven't even considered rooting or flashing custom rom or kernels etc.
Just an update. I had to reset my nexus 6, and I decided to wait and let it update. It updated all the way to 5.1. Put my Sim back in and still have 5.1. So if you can do it. Just have to be patient.
I'm in two minds. I can't decide whether I prefer it or the Moto X 2014.
Nexus 6. It has a better screen, more realestate and more ram but ...
Moto X 2014 just feels better in hand, plus it has the active display.
I really like the both of them .... But there are times in general use I feel the Nexus 6 just pushing the boundaries of size that bit too much.
Active display shows you the clock and can be activated by simply swiping your hand in front of the screen. You can also unlock your device with active display as you pick up device it presents you a lock to swipe and turn on the device meanig you don't have to touch the power button.
And your point is?
I know the dimensions et all, i said "it Looked huge" i didnt say it was any bigger, the bezel with small screen makes the perception of it being a huge device thats all.
