I honestly don't know why people are thinking about this nexus as the worst one yet. Yes, it has a big screen, it's quite expensive, has low battery life, and camera is okay. But if you see Marquees Brownlee's review you will know that the phone is actually worth it and big screens is not a problem since every year the screen size is increased dramatically. Moreover, since it's a Nexus the bugs and updates will be fixed first compared to others and Lollipop is just so much better than for instance ; 'TouchWiz', that is just so laggy and disappointing. So, honestly, it's a really great phone !

    And when you account the look and feel of materials like Kevlar and such those claims hold no ground.

      I really like my n5 and n7 2, but with a5.0 is clearly visible that we are heading to the kindergarden regarding desingn and usability. Nexus devices are no longer a target for me.

        AnonD-324916, 15 Nov 2014Nexus 6 have better camera that the Note 4 even in some pictures in low light Note 4 is better... moreExcept not. Most shots are way overall better than the nexus.
        The note 4 currently has one of the best cameras. It's only true champions are the 1020 and 8o8. Possibly the key zoom.

                  AnonD-265900, 15 Nov 2014Just go use your useless overpriced phone with full of lagging and poor performance."Just go use your useless overpriced phone with full of lagging and poor performance."

                  If any phone is overpriced, it is the N6. Poor, generations old amoled. Mobilesyrup says, "(N6) also suffers from white balance that appears more yellow than the new Moto X or Galaxy Note 4, and its maximum brightness is lower than both. More troubling is the lack of brightness uniformity, at least on my review unit. Looking on a blank white screen at any brightness level — though at a higher gauge it was less noticeable — the bottom of the unit took on a muddy, reddish hue. I’ve seen this issue before on older AMOLED screens — pre-Note 3 generation — but this was worse than I remember."

                  N6 tag line. Minimal options for suckers who want nothing and are willing to pay for it.

                    AnonD-184455, 15 Nov 2014- smaller, thinner, lighter-are u blind note 4 is bigger then note3 in terms of dimensions ... more"- smaller, thinner, lighter-are u blind note 4 is bigger then note3 in terms of dimensions"
                    Still quite a bit smaller than the N6 though. Note 4 Dimensions 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm (6.04 x 3.09 x 0.33 in), Weight 176 g (6.21 oz). Nexus 6, Dimensions 159.3 x 83 x 10.1 mm (6.27 x 3.27 x 0.40 in), Weight 184 g (6.49 oz).

                    "- better battery-same battery life and capacity"
                    NOPE!!! Note 4, Battery life Endurance rating 87h. Nexus 6, battery test endurance rating of 70h.

                    "- removable battery-utterly pointless and it doesn't allow for making a seemless looking smartphones,they paint a disjointed looking product"
                    NOPE!!! Note 4, If you run out of juice and have another battery, you can just toss it in. Nexus 6, you would have to carry your charger, find a plug in and sit your a$$ down and wait while it charged.

                    "- SD slot-important but not much 32 & 64 is more then enough,google will offer 128 or more if nexus 6 sells very well,which it will"
                    Doubt it!!! With games getting bigger and bigger and the amount of UV digital dl's I have on my phone, there is no way even a 64gb is big enough. I doubt there will be a 128 gb release as they never released a bigger capacity phone with the n4 or n5.

                    "- better camera-nexus 6 camera is on par with note4" NOPE!!! Less mp, and even the testing on this very site disproves your comment.

                    "- better screen-its also on par with note4"
                    NOPE!!! MobileSyrup says, "...the high-res AMOLED display lacks the accurate colour calibration of Samsung’s superlative Note 4 display... It also suffers from white balance that appears more yellow than the new Moto X or Galaxy Note 4, and its maximum brightness is lower than both. More troubling is the lack of brightness uniformity, at least on my review unit. Looking on a blank white screen at any brightness level — though at a higher gauge it was less noticeable — the bottom of the unit took on a muddy, reddish hue. I’ve seen this issue before on older AMOLED screens — pre-Note 3 generation — but this was worse than I remember."

                    "- much more sensors-there almost same except a few(they dont even matter)" Sure they do. If you need those sensors for certain activities, you don't have that option on the N6...

                    "- S Pen-samsung gimmick which more then 50% not even using it" It's a great gimmick to have and use. And again, it's an option that is there if you want it, unlike the N6.


                    "- superb multitasking with multi window and floating windows-samsung bloatware which severely hampers performance of android"
                    NOPE!!! It is clear you have never used this option as it doesn't hamper the performance at all and is great when you can have say, messaging and the internet open at the same time.

                    "- one handed mode-bloatware"
                    NOPE!!! Again, you have probably never used this feature. Great to use. I have it set for certain apps like the calculator and keyboard and it works amazingly well.

                      AnonD-324916, 14 Nov 2014Find out why I don't like Touchwiz and all Samsung applications. Shocking video showing cl... moreI just ran these tests with my stock Note 2 alongside the video and it was as fast or faster than the Moto phone every time. My reasoning is that buddy on the video had every app he clicked on in the video already running in the background on the Moto, just like I did, and not on the S5 in order to attain faster results.

                      I've used the s5 and it is blazing fast. Don't get suckered in by these bullsh!t propaganda videos. If he wanted real results, he would have rebooted each phone and then run the tests so neither had any apps running in the background.

                      "Find out why I don't like Touchwiz and all Samsung applications.

                      Shocking video showing clearly the cheapest Motorola Moto E tags at $150 with very low specs being faster than the Galaxy S5 with high end specs and highly priced at $600 been beaten by a stock Android phone.

                      Shame, shame, shame...

Too big, no spen and software for big screen, ... morehow in the world having similar capacity battery as note 4 makes nexus 6 ripped off? its a big smartphone off course it will need bigger battery as every other OEM will do the same.
                          AMOLED wasn't made just to be utilized by samsung.Take your samsung protectionist ideas somewhere else
