Finally got to use one of these bad boys and oh man. The size is excellent. Doesn't feel to big or anything, feels GREAT in the hand. Screen was also seemingly bright enough but it was on max.
The thing I was worried a lot about, burn in, actually is quite frightening however. The nice store dude at tmobile who showed me his personal nexus 6 (also was looking at demo) didnt think he had screen burn, but I could actually see the O home key burnt in on the all white screen he showed me. Didnt look at the nav bar much but didnt think it was burnt in.
This is sort of worrying. The display model however, had no burn in that I could see. They said it was out for 2 or 3 weeks but one thing to mention is that the screen saver that came on whenever the phone was sat down had no nav bar or status bar, so that meant, no burn in of those elements. I didn't look too hard but thought I saw other burn in on the white background from the nexus 6 ad the screensaver was froze on.
I actually wasn't all that worried about this, it was just in the back of my mind as something to consider, but now. I am slightly more worried than before.
Front firing speakers were loud, and sounded PRETTY good. Not amazing, but I don't expect amazing from phone speakers. The tmobile guy played a Bruno Mars video (I hate that guy) and it was amazing on that screen. Sound was good treble wise, maybe only very slightly tinny, kind of lacking bass but overall hard to judge as I was in a mall. Definitely loud though. Good for hearing your phone ring for sure.
Camera I didnt have much time with unfortunately, or many subjects. I took a few pics of the store directly opposing me in the mall and it seemed alright. Pretty noisy though but I kind of expected that, the iphone 6+ at the applestore also took a surprisingly noisy shot too though, so who knows?
I do love the size though. In my opinion, seemed pretty much perfect. Lollipop was beautiful and smooth. No jerky weirdness, no hangups, smooth and speedy. The same as the 6+, or dare I say, better.
I asked about his battery life and he said it easily gets him through a day and that the turbo charging is amazing, he played 2dots or some kind of game a lot while they had no customers and he said he had no probs. I'm not convinced it would be the same with me with how I use my phone but who knows?
In the end I couldn't get one from them though, apparently no t mobiles in my state (KY) received any actual physical stock of them, they had the 32gb available to ship but said they couldn't do it on a 10 dollar prepaid plan (I think you can with a 40 dollar plan on the Internet but they didn't mention it). Alas, I am doubtful 32gb would be sufficient anyway.
So besides the worry I have for burn in, great phone, and I'm still very tempted. I am likely to order one and a 6+ (Maybe didnt have too many ram issues with the display but I didn't get to go hard like I usually do with my phone) and just take back which one I don't like, and keep my favorite.
