Nexus 6, Moto X, Moto G all look the same

Nexus 6 is unveilled but super overpriced in my opinion, and why is it that Motorola makes all phones look the same ?
the designs of the phones if not the same, it's pretty close. and 2.7 ram? come onnnnn google

Super overpriced or super outside of your price range? Find me another 6" superphone with those specs for less money.
As far as why they look the same- it's called design language. It's why all HTCs look similar, why all Samsungs are carbon copies of each other, and why all LGs are hideous.

OnePlus One is way cheaper and almost as good if not better (in my opinion), I am a little disappointed with the nexus 6, and I really don't care for how big the screen is on it, I actually wish it was a little smaller or the same size as N5, also most phones are coming with at least 3GB ram nowadays why hold back on .3 if its gonna be an expensive phone anyway?

I had and sold the OnePlus One. It wasn't worth a penny more than what they were asking for it. Crappy build quality, defective screens, poor call quality, and buggy software. OnePlus is a bargain basement Chinese brand that failed to deliver on their promise. Motorola and Google they are not. Not to mention the N6 has a faster SOC, better screen, better build quality, better support, better everything.

That 300mb is taken by the gpu or reserved for something else. Open up CPU-Z and you will see that your phone has some missing too! Doesn't mean it's not there. It's been this way since day one!
HTC One M8

That is kind of the point.
The G is a cheaper X
The 6 is a bigger more premium X
Its perfectly clear market segmentation and all 3 belong in the same family.

Living in Brazil ..... I could buy the Droid Turbo Verzion and make the phone work here in my country?
The Verzion locks the phone not to work with chip from another carrier?

Verizon doesn't Sim lock any of their 4g devices. So as long as it has the frequencies that your carrier requires then yes it should work, required you update the apns for your carrier.

Yup. G2 and G3 are the most beautiful Android phones on the market, the least bezels, gorgeous screens, innovative button placement, and a skin much better than TW, and both have easy root, unlocked bootloaders and dev support.

They could have at least made it thinner, but 10.1mm? Sh**t!

I couldn't disagree more. I think their physical designs are bland at best and hideous at worst, their button placement is unintuitive and awkward, and they've officially beaten Touchwiz with the world's ugliest Android skin. They may have great screens and super slim bezels, but that's not enough to make up for everything else.
Of course, this is only my opinion. I'm a tough one to please.

I have only used Moto's not actually owned them so my view might be skewed. The reason they look all the same is cause of costs. You don't really need to pay anything extra if you have the same design everywhere. You just pay extra depending on what and how much material you use.

while I do agree most LG are kinda ugly the Nexus 4 and 5 were extremely beautiful and well designed imho, minimalistic at its best, motorola design is just....ugly and seems outdated
and for that price range?, the appeal of the nexus line was its affordable price for great specs, it's what made the nexus 5 stand out from the competition when it came out, now?, I just don't get why I would get a gigantic phablet nexus 6 when I could get a Galaxy s5, and HTC one m8 (or the mini HTC M which looks incredible) or the xperia Z

10mm measured down the center top to bottom...... it curves off to somewhere around 3mm on the edges. In terms of the cross sectional profile the N6 would displace less than the Note 4 brick everyone is comparing it to. I'd rather have a phone that's 10mm tapering off to 3 or 4mm which will be much more comfortable in the hand, than a same size brick that's 9mm (or whatever the competition is) thick everywhere.

I do agree that both the N4 and N5 are great looking phones. The N4 more so. The N5 actually looks and feels like a reference design and not something that was designed to be mass marketed, but again, it's still an attractive handset.
As for the price, what I think people are forgetting is that there have been more full priced Nexus devices than cheap ones. Only the N4 and N5 were priced like they were stolen. I was surprised with the N6's pricing like everyone else, but I certainly don't think it's overpriced at all, considering what you're getting.
And as far as Motorola's designs are concerned, I absolutely love them. They aren't supposed to be flashy, and their ergonomics are unmatched. The original Moto X made me a Motorola fan for life.
I loved My Epic 4G Touch but every Samsung phone has been a disappointment to me since. To their credit though, I do like the way the Alpha and Note 4 look but TouchWiz is an absolute deal breaker. I loved HTC, was a huge fan of the One X, but the M7 and M8 aren't for me. And yeah, the Xperia Z3 is insanely cool looking. The moral of the story is to each their own.

I think the main issue is that people need to stop looking at it as a "Premium Moto X". If you're going to compare it to anything, it makes a bit more sense to say it's an off-contract ever-so-slightly downgraded Note 4 for $175 less.

It looks like a Moto X... aside from that they have nothing else in common. And the fact that it doesn't have TouchWiz makes it a moderately upgraded Note 4

Nexus 6 Pakistan Thread

Just to keep up with the previous models, here's a thread dedicated to the New Nexus 6 made by Motorola. Unfortunately since we still dont have a official Google Play store for Pakistan, we will have to rely on inflated prices on the phone being brought in by importers or shopkeepers.
Feel free to give info on price and availability of the phone in all regions of Pakistan, along with any advice or accessories.
For those who dont know, a brief overview of the phone is,
It is made by Motorola
5.95 inch full HD Amoled screen (almost 500ppi)
Qualcomm 805 processor with 3gb ram
32gb/64gb memory
3220mah battery
13mp back camera with f2.0, front 2.0mp
Water resistant
Wireless charging
NFC
Android 5.0 lollipop
Sent from my Nexus 5

So how many, if any of you guys plan to upgrade to the N6...??
I think for me the biggest boner kill is the price... Its just too much unfortunately...
Since retail is $650 in the U.S... I doubt you can find it for less than Rs.80k in pak then...

That's a pretty ridiculous benchmark in my opinion. 4 years ago people said anything bigger then 4.0" is nonsense when the Galaxy S came out, and now it seems you can't even find phones with 4" screens now.
The basis is not really the screen size as much as the shell/case that holds the screen. Take a look at the Sharp Aquos Crystal for example. Although it is a 5.0" screen, the phone is SMALLER than the Nexus 4 which you are using with its 4.7" screen.
I'm sure noone would have any problem with a 5.5"- 6" screen as long as the footprint of the phone isn't too big and the battery life is good, which unfortunately isn't the case with the nexus 6.

I did see the sharp, pretty sleek device. Non gsm tho but anyways it's beauty. Thanks for mentioning that wish we could have the supported version here in pakistan. Now back to discussion not to the argument.
Fee-fi-fo-fum, Phone-Phablet-Tablet, 5.0"-7.0"-9.0".
(I'll be exact if you are going to pin point that as well 5.3", 6.9", 8.9")
So, where is our new Nexus phone? Affordable, purest form of android, easy to fit in back pocket, an ounce lighter, wasn't awkward in public, easy to make calls, easy to carry traveling on public transit, not having such a roman pearce forehead, remember?
Oh yeah, my bad they didn't make it.
Hence proved: nonsense.
Wish the new nexus so called Six was aquos*Crystal and Crystal X but let me pop the bubble by heavy heart *pop* but it's just isn't. You are welcome, mate. Hope you share the unboxing when you get your all new Motorola Google Nexus 6, phablet.

Your missing the point...
Firstly you were quite specific about anything bigger than 5.0" its nonsense... Nothing to do with affordability or weight etc. See I'm simply saying that's a very vague and unrealistic criteria, that just if its bigger than 5" its just ridiculous.
Secondly, to say a Nexus is MEANT to be affordable and small and easy to carry with the purest form of android is kind of a long stretch. Just if the last 2 nexus models which used hardware that was just a few months away from being outdated to keep the price low, doesn't mean that's what they are always supposed to do. This time they have added the top of the line latest hardware in the phone. Barely any phones had the 805 processor yet, so naturally it will come at a price, along with the massive battery.
I'm not going to lie, I'm also not too happy about the price or the size, but one can not say the price isn't justified considering the specs. Nor can one say its a bad phone for those reasons. I myself am leaning more towards the note4 or note edge, but one eye is nonetheless on the N6 if a good deal comes by.

I'd wait on the camera reviews. Then I'd try to hold a Nexus 6 and make sure its comfortable...it is also a thick phone. But I doubt I'd leave the G3.

I'm very tempted to take advantage of my Jump and get the Nexus 6. The bigger size, dual front speakers, and stock Android are huge pluses in my book.
However, I fear the Nexus 6 will have a worse camera (despite having a sensor that's technically better than the one in the g3.. trust me, Motorola will find a way to screw this up) and the amoled screen is also a negative for me.
So overall I'll probably keep the g3.. hopefully we'll get Android 5.0 on it sooner than later.

Personally gonna wait for some sort of AOSP Rom for the G3.

I'd love to have another Nexus (had the 4 and still have the 5 as backup) but this bugger is waaaaay too big for me. I can just about handle the G3 with 1 and a half hand

Umm, not for me. If I want to carry something larger than the 5.5 inch screen I already have in the G3 I'll pull out the full sized tablet. If it had the excellent Multi window capabilities that Note 4 does and a stylus I might be more inclined to consider it.
As it is both taller than 6 inches and wider than 3 inches, both were my cutoffs for comfortable to hold in the hand - its simply too big for my hands.
Same prospect as the Iphone 6 Plus really - it's a huge unwieldy phone with no real use scenario that I can see.

Spot on, in both counts. Pure android is nice to philosophise about but a good deal of draw of the nexus line was surely price?

There is no circle case and SD card slot with the nexus 6.
But it looks very nice !

It's too big for me. The G3 is the biggest phone I want to deal with.

We need android L
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

I am. I like my G3, but I can't wait to no longer own this phone and be back on stock Android.

I feel there is no real advantage for the Nexus 6 other than the Android L.
It's too big, no sd storage, probably inferior camera, probably inferior sound quality and it will be likely that its Amoled display will be inferior as well. One great thing about the G3 and its RGB stripe display is that its effective resolution is higher than the comparable Amoled pentile displays. Some people don't notice it, but I find them to not have the same sharpness.
So far I have not found any phone that I would jump ship for. I had an IPhone 6 Plus for two weeks and I did like it mostly due to the software but I ended up returning it as the call quality and the camera were considerably worse than my G3. I gather I will be passing on the Note 4 because of its bulk, sound quality and pentile display. I'm one of those guys who loves to switch phones all the time but so far nothing this year is the equal of the G3. Maybe G4 next year?

The wife has a Jump to use and I feel like I should use it even though I still like G3. LoL. I like the Note 4 and Nexus 6. I'm pretty sure I can return a phone in 30 days with the discount I have on my account. Will the Nexus 6 be out in 30 days and if so can I return the Note 4 for it?

Been thinking and reading lots... And will probably take the jump as LG will take forever to push out Android L and I love the Android L stock look. Love the G3 but want the L experience unless we see a custom Rom. As I will wait for hands on reviews and pricing for UK.

Nexus 6?
I'm pretty sure I am going to own Nexus 6 but I'm unsure wether or not it will be my everyday phone I've gotten used to big phones and my personal favorite so far is still the note 3. After having seen the reviews of the Note 4 I don't I will buy it. A note 4 ROM for the 3 (which will become available in time) will give me everything I need. The increased specs on the Note 4 don't matter for me as I cant see the difference as an average user.
I'll just go for the nexus 6 because it's going to be my first Nexus device, and I want tot check it out. My everyday phone will swapp between note 3 and g3.
I'll be flashing myself silly with all of them

To everyone who is put off by the size of the Nexus 6

Get a Moto X 2014.
The Nexus 6 is built by Motorola and its basically just a blown up version of the Moto X 2014.
What's the differences between the 2 phones?
Moto X 2014 -
5.2" Display
Snapdragon 801
2gb Ram
1080p (423ppi)
2300 mAh Battery
5.08 oz (144 g)
Nexus 6 -
6" Display
Snapdragon 805
3gb Ram
1440p (493ppi)
3220 mAh Battery
Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)
6.49 oz (184 g)
Everything else (from what I understand) is the same!
Yes you're not getting the exact same specs shrunk down into the smaller Moto X but it's more in-line with what a lot of people think a "nexus device should be".
Moderate Specs, Moderate pricing and Stock android.
Here's a size comparison if anyone is interested:

The biggest problem with the Motorola Moto X 2014 is the battery size.
If it was 3000 mAh, it would be a worthy alternative.
Specs wise, Snapdragon 805 and 800 and 801 are pretty simmilar ,unless you playe games a lot.

Agreed, there's a larger gap here in Canada between the Nexus 5 at $350 and Moto X at $600 than the X and Nexus 6 which is $750.
I'm unsure of American Moto X prices.

Droid Turbo will be released tomorrow. This should satisfy many of those who want same specs as N6 on a smaller phone.

And only on Verizon. And it will have a locked bootloader.
For you GSM guys though, it went through the FCC not too long ago with GSM bands. Rumor is that it will be released as the "Moto X Play" or "Moto Maxx" , two names that Motorola trademarked this year.

The only glaring difference here is the Nexus is a developer device, and supported directly by Google.
IMO get the Nexus 6, or Nexus 5 if the 6 is too big. The only carrier left out in that case is VZW, but that's not something new.

It may last longer than the N5, but it still does not counter my argument that its 2300 mAh looks unimpressive. My phone from 2012 had 2150 mAh.
Regarddless of efficient it might be, the screen will consume battery no matter how efficient the system runs, and thats why I think that 2300 mAh is too little.

My limited experience with the X says different. But maybe that limited experience is why. Also, many reviews don't put the battery life any better than on the N5. Some even less. This is personal preference but the screen on the N5 is much much nicer than the amoled panel on the X2014

So why is this forum still full of people dying to have their say about how the Nexus is TOO BIG? I'm getting pretty tired of reading the same stuff over and over again. If you don't like the Nexus 6 and have no interest in purchasing one, Please leave this forum for those of us who do.

Perhaps those people are intrigued to see what other peoples opinions are on it?
I have always been a Nexus guy, but this year I've been disappointed by Google with the screen size. Yeah sure, some people want a big 6" screen but for practical everyday use a lot of people want something a bit smaller - between 4.5" and 5".
I took the plunge and have gone over to the dark side and got myself and iPhone 6. I love it, it does everything an average phone user wants.
It has a decent size screen that looks beautiful in all conditions. Plus there are little extra quirks like 1080p at 60FPS and slow motion video at 240FPS. TouchID in a way that nobody else has managed to beat yet.
I think realistically the Nexus 6 and Lollipop both look amazing and I will be doing my normal thing and watching these forums to see what people do with them but I just can't imagine having to use a phone that big daily.
I will happily go on record and say that I'm sure within 1 - 2 months of owning the Nexus 6 some of you will be fed up with how big it is.

Wow. Thanks for letting me know I'll be fed up with my TOO BIG Nexus. Thanks for proving my point.

I am on the fence about it. I think the hardware improvements for the Nexus 6 are worth it's price, they are all the things I want:
-OIS camera with better sensor
-big enough battery for 5hours screen on time (not possible with my Moto X 2014 unless I use it conservatively)
-wireless charging
-stereo speakers
-all US carriers support
I might hold of preordering the Nexus 6 like I thought I would and wait for some of the reviews, but I know eventually I will likely buy one.
I love the Moto X, but I'm not as impressed with the 2014 version as I should be because they lack the aforementioned features. I just switched to the Moto X 2013 for a couple days and I'm really happy with what it offered for the price, I feel like I could live with the 2013 version. If the 2014 X had all the hardwares features of the Nexus 6 and cost $650 as well, it probably would be better for me.
If I buy the Nexus 6, I would use it as a tablet and backup device, it definitely will not be my daily driver. So I wouldn't be fully utilizing it.
So right now there isn't yet a perfect device for me. I want a phone with Motorola features and design with flagship hardwares, but not phablet size. I guess I have to wait to see what the Moto X 2015 will be like. If it's going to be a 5.5" screen I wouldn't be happy about it (unless they manage to have almost no bezel), it would be a begrudging upgrade, in that case I would get a used Nexus 6.

New Nexus 2016 phone

A few articles have been written about the rumored new Nexus phone. If this is how it looks, it looks horrible. The front facing speakers appears to be gone and it looks very iPhone-esq.......similar to HTC's A10.
If it is accurate, it looks pretty bad compared to Motorola's 6.

The economic position of HTC will be worse.

It's all still leaks and rumors at this point but if things play out the way the leaks are leaning, I'll still be hanging on to my Nexus 6. With the larger screen and running Android Nougat at a more than acceptable performance level I just can't find anything that compels me to upgrade.

Even though that's just a rumour and not confirmed, I gotta say HTC really hasn't changed much in a decade. My HTC Sensation looks pretty similar to that, and it's ancient. No, I don't use it anymore, it's a backup phone in case my other device breaks. lol. In other words; not liking it and won't be getting one.

My contract ends around the same time as the new line of Nexus' come around. If HTC fails to wow me, it seems as though I might be going for the galaxy note 7 or s7 edge. Not a big fan of restricted Samsung, otherwise I'd use the OnePlus 3, but alas it doesn't support CDMA

The bigger Nexus 6 variant will probably look slightly different from the smaller though.

I kinda like the new look, but don't like that they're ditching the stereo speakers. I think I'll hold on to the N6 until it dies on me.

Those are just renders. Hopefully they won't ditch the stereo speakers. Either way I'll be sticking to the nexus 6 for a while and wait for reviews instead of purchasing it right away. Judging from the renders, I don't like the look but it might grow on me eventually, kinda like the camera bump on the nexus 6p. I'm actually more excited about custom Roms on Nougat that the new devices. My phone contract finished March next year and even then if the new devices does not seem to fit me I probably would have to wait. The nexus 6 is a fully capable phone for this day and age and will continue to be for a long time thanks to the xda community. The whale will definitely be a legendary phone in my book.

That's wise. I would prefer a phone with a new display like
http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/

I've been watching the leaks and rumors and yeah I'm not too excited. I'll probably be sticking with the 6. For me 6" is the perfect size and I love the stereo speakers and wireless charging. And it's plenty fast enough so I don't see any compelling reason to "upgrade" at this point.

I'd be more compelled to pick up a 6P which will have a reduced price when the Nexus 2016 comes out.

Well I suppose once it comes out the 6p will be cheaper so if the HTC isn't great there will be a cheaper option. I'm guessing they will price it around $500 which has been pretty typical for the Nexus pricing.
HTC has been struggling since they had their last real hit the M8
The rumor design though with no front facing speakers looks awful but would be consistent with HTC lol

Will there ever be a 6" Nexus in the future?

i love the nexus 6 except for the weight of it. the shape was great but right now id prefer something flat.
the only reason why im interested in the new nexus is because of daydream. other than that the nexus' killer features are the screen - 6" qhd amoled - pretty much unique, stereo speakers and qi charging.
will the new nexus have any 2 out of the 3 of these? i sure hope so!

This may be something to wait for....

what is daydream? doesn't the nexus 6 already have that? I've never seen it do anything

Not certain those HTC really appeal to me. Depends on what phones Verizon has in September, or is announced for it.

Daydream has two meanings
1 screensaver while charging
2 compatibility with new vr standards
Since our nexus 6 already has #1, I'm guessing he means #2

I don't like these renders either. But I remember the dislike for the 6P when renders and test units started showing up. Most hated the design because of the "LaForge" visor. But once we got the real deal it looked much better than anticipated.
Hopefully that's gonna be the case here.
