Have you all seen that monster? That Android L tho!
 
I like iOS and android almost equally, but as far as design, for my taste, nothing beats an iPhone. If we're talking about "sexy", then no. Nexus 6 doesn't look sexy.
 
I decided not to get the iPhone 6 and was interested in checking out the Nexus but it's too big and too pricey.
 
I wouldn't describe it as sexy... I haven't seen one in person yet but I'm happy with this Note 4!
 
What feedback are you looking for?

Buy whichever phone best fits your needs/wants/budget.
 
I have had all the iphones that have come out and decided a couple of months ago to check out a new phone from China called OnePlus One. It was a great phone and was really fast and had huge specs but I just missed IOS. I know how to use it and things are easy for me. I ended up selling the OnePlus for more than I paid for it and it did show me I really liked the 5.5" screen. With that said I had enough of android real fast.
 
Relative to the previous two generations of Nexus phones.

Yes but not to the ones before that. Also in my opinion this device is way more technically impressive than the last two nexus devices were when they came out.

The nexus 6 might very well have a screen rivaling the note 4, of course that's yet to be seen, but if it indeed does that alone to me justifies the higher price. And it's still cheaper than the note 4 with the same specs (actually a bit better CPU I think, camera is worse though I believe) so I'm 100 percent okay with it.

Id rather google make the best flagship they can regardless of cost rather than gimp a device to keep cost down.

You forgot IMO...

IMO the Nexus 6 is looking far more sexy than any iP6 or 6+, IMO
 
It is 10g heavier, but isn't it basically the same height as the 6 Plus?

Think it is 1mm taller, but has a screen almost half an inch bigger.

Waiting for proper reviews on it.

I see that now. Still, a 6 inch screen is approaching tablet territory.
Plus, I'm so used to not only the iPhone look , but also Touch ID. They need to get this on the next generation of Laptops, and maybe even keyboard/mice. Or enable TouchID login from iPhone to Mac.
 
There's a good comparison here:

I still love my 6 plus. It would be nice if the screen filled the whole space. But you still need room for the touch sensor!
Yeah, I'm kind of hoping that Apple figures out how to integrate the Touch ID into the screen so we can have a full edge to edge display. Or, move it to the back of the phone.
 
What is the deal with this dumb lingo I am seeing all over different message boards? Tho, doe


Where does this come from originally?

I'm not too sure, doe! The nexus 6 is practically the same size as the iPhone 6 plus but a screen half an inch bigger.
 
I'm sort of in the same boat as you. I have iphone 6 128GB, but the Nexus 6 has really peaked my interest. I still haven't gotten my hands on iPhone 6+ to have an idea how big the Nex 6 is.

The phone is cute, in my opinion.
