Had the phone 20 minutes and am in love! Such a beautiful device and seems loads snappier than my now retired One X. Any tips or hints for a noob?

a comparison between nexus 4 screen and one x screen please!
Wouldn't be a fair test as my One X has had a replacement screen and it isn't the genuine one.

I found the screen on my One XL to be significantly better than the N4, also the overall experience with CM on the OXL is better than the N4, I sold my N4 after two days and am happily back to using the OXL.

Surprisingly I have to agree. The camera (specifically) on the nexus 4 vs. CM 10 one x (with jb camera) is comparable. While there is a slight nod given to the nexus 4 in terms of low light performance, the nod is really negligible and I'd be willing to bet if I was using stock HOX camera, then HOX camera would undoubtedly be the winner in terms of color reproduction.
The screen on max brightness is bright on the nexus 4, but the clarity, detail, and viewing angles on the HOX do surpass the Nexus 4 easily. I was the guy that was thinking the Nexus 4 would be my next, but after using it, I am left feeling a bit cold and unimpressed. Android 4.2 is a huge leap in terms of functionality of the Android ecosystem, but talking about current hardware, the Nexus 4 doesn't offer too much to compare. Which is a shame, offering a quad core processor, 2 gig of RAM, and everything in terms of operation is negligible to current Android hardware.
Makes one think...

i have to agree, the screen on the one x is better. If htc one x supported t-mobile, i would probably sell nexus 4, htc one x is pretty fast as it is, but nexus 4 is faster. (switching from straight talk at&t to tmobile)

i hate it when people get bent out of shape when someone says anything critical about the nexus 4. one poster asked for a comparison, he gave his opnion.

i agree on the screen, it is washed out and not as nice to look at as the htc, the viewing angles are not nearly as good. Colors are not bright and do not pop out. The camera is lackluster, i compared both side by side. everything else is for the most part better. If only i can find a buyer for my 16 gig white htc one x..
Maybe I will switch back when the N4 is in stock, readily available and CM10(.1) is officially available and stable, but for now I don't have a need for double the RAM and CPU especially at a $200 premium.
loads better phone than the one x
Many people considered me crazy for leaving my AT&T branded GS3 for the N4, many thought I was downgrading, dropping LTE in favor of the stock android experience.
After spending half the day with my phone I can honestly say this was the best decision I have made when it comes to technology.
The phone feels rock solid and high quality. The screen is a drastic improvement from the pentile AMOLED, the whites actually look white and the icons/text stands out a bit more and is more well defined.
TBH I don't really notice the benefits of the quad core over the dual core that the GS3 runs, it still feels just as snappy/responsive. I also don't miss the home button at all. I will have to get some kind of protection/grip though, which is fine because the back isn't as impressive as the pictures lead it to be, most people wont see the pixelation design unless they are under a light.
The battery/storage may be a problem but so far it isn't a dealbreaker.
This actually feels like a phone that I wouldn't/dont need to upgrade, it's that good.
So you can keep your LTE, home button, and pentile screen GS3, I think I'll be happy with the global development here and hope to contribute where I can
Size of screen
Hi, I m from (karachi) Pakistan,I have a question from you because you have come from Galaxy S3. Is Nexus 4 display is wider then Galaxy S3 and Optimus G ? currently i am using Htc One X its display is taller not wider, i need wider screen in just 4.7 inch space, plz suggest me which one has wider screen, because i have to make order via online thats why i cant check the screen size of Nexus 4 and Optimsu G and they are not available in Pakistan except Galaxy S3, Thankx

The n4 had a screen resolution of 1280x768. The galaxy s3 has a resolution on 1280x720. So width wise the n4 has almost 7% more pixels showing. Without know the screen measurements sans bezel I'm not sure how bog the difference in width is though.

i am really confused which one to buy. as i am from note 3, it is normal for me to go for s5. but i got some negative comment about s5. phone bezel is wide, front camera is 2mp when others are going for 5mp front(like oppo find 7a and htc one m8). but still i have a weak spot for samsung. so please suggest me honestly. i will see this post everday. In Shaa Allah this monday i will buy anyone based upon your suggestion.
s5 white is 2039rm where s5 black is 2080rm
htc one m8 is 2199 rm
z2 is 2499rm(why so expensive la?)
i previously used many set. if you need to do anything with that here is a short list of them for past 2 years(s2, s3, s4, note 2, note 3, xperia z, htc one x, nokia lumia 920, lenevo a880, lenevo s930, iphone 4s, 5 etc, cant remember all).

The phone has heating problem. When i download from play store, it become so hot in the camera area. Other function cool. When i look from the 170 degree, suddenly there is a greenish color shift. I think may be factory default screen protector. Also color rendering is not accurate. As i used iphone and lenevo. I saw almost same color rendering on those two ips display. Which i think is accurate. But in s5 the color is totally different of that thing. I think may be cause of adapt display. The display a bit yellowish. I think cause of the factory defailt screen protector.

With Cinema display setting it's quite good. Much better than Standard if you like accuracy rather than oversaturation.
Mine G900F has a heating problem when used actively for updates and downloads probably is something related to the CPU usage. But in normal day to day usage is with good working temperatures. However I would check other phones as well and if I owned a Note 3 I wouldn`t change it as the Note 3 is amazing phone i even think it`s better then the S5 or very close.
Hmmm..ecery device has its cons. S5 is no difference. But we can live with that.

Came across this comparison, Nexus 6 is superior in every way except the camera.
Nexus 6 was found to have superior:
Display (qHD)
Battery (3220mAh)
RAM (3GB)
OS (Stock Lollipop, the best!)
Price,
Other features (water resistant, wireless charging, dual speakers)
I really think Nexus 6 will sell better than previous nexus devices. While the camera is still not as good as Note 4 or iPhone 6 Plus, it is still better than most of the devices out there.
Check it out.

They stated the Note 4 and Nexus 6 are a tie when it comes to the display and battery life.
Nexus 6! Game over!!
yeah im not sure about the display..in other comparisons they have stated that the note 4 panel is subtly better, with slightly crisper text and sharper image quality and i even tried to do the comparison myself and the note 4 indeed has a better display

How is TW? Is it really laggy and buggy or is it a bit improved?
Day 2 and I have to say that it's really not that different to the 3. The home key has real lag. I set up both devices exactly the same and ran side by side comparisons of app running time... And most times the Note 3 was faster. Weird. Will keep it for 13 days then return it and wait a week for my nexus 64gb to arrive!

^^The home key has real lag?
I don't have any lag with the home key. Have you turned off Svoice double tap to activate feature?
These 3 phone plus the note edge are my choices for January when I get my upgrade. I have the note 3 now and I don't feel like the note 4 is worthy of the upgrade. I finally got my hands on the edge at the at&t store. I was so excited to check it out. I left the store thinking it was pretty cool but I was still underwhelmed. So now I am down to the nexus 6 and iPhone 6 plus. At this point I'm really leaning towards the 6 plus (please don't hate). It's a personal preference type of thing.
I used to love the iPhone up to the 4s. Then I couldn't stand small screen size anymore. Fortunately for me they fixed that problem now.
I can't take touchwiz any longer and all the crap Samsung has added into the phones. That's sad to say because I have had the galaxy s, s2, s3, s4 and now the note 3.
I can't wait to check out a nexus 6 to make my final decision. I feel like it is going to be a tough one
Display is a tie? What a great joke. There is a thick chance the author doesn't even own a nexus 6. I wanted to like nexus 6 sooo much, it could've been my dream phone but unfortunately, the screen can only go as bright as 278 nits vs note 4 400+ nits and upto 700 nits in extreme bright light.
So far, note 4 NAND performance is faster. Eg better read and writes. Note 4 battery lasts longer. I think we all should be realistic. How can you call it superior ?

Note 4 display is better.
Battery is the same.
RAM is the same.
OS is irrelevant.
Price is also too close to call.
Front speakers and water resistance is it. Wireless charging is possible on the Note 4.
Do some research before spreading crap.

That's on manual brightness nits don't mean everything there are other factors. All the reviewers say the screen is excellent and easy to read in day light. Gsm arena review display
The note only has faster read times because it is not fully encrypted on Lollipop. Just wait until it gets it. Also the nexus 6 is smoother than the note all around through the operating system and within apps. The battery life is similar.
dont be saying around that the nexus 6 has a very display because thats not true

Really curious about how you went about "trying out the note 4". Because I am really wanting to do this exact thing with both the iPhone 6 Plus and the Note 4 to decide if I'd want to switch to iOS or continue my crapwiz adventure, or try out the N6. I am on verizon and I see they have a $35 restocking fee if you return a product within 14 days. Is their a way around this? How'd you do it? What's your carrier?
From AnandTech who does very thorough objective testing. Traditionally they're pretty rough in their Samsung reviews and fairly "pro" Nexus with value taken in to account in their findings. With pricing similar to other high-end devices the Nexus 6 and 9 can't play the value card anymore.
Battery
The first test is our WiFi web browsing test which loads a set of web pages in a loop with pauses to avoid penalizing phones with faster SoCs than others. In this test we see that the Nexus 6 does perform somewhat poorly. Compared to Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 which has essentially the same specifications on paper, the Nexus 6 lasts 4.27 hours shorter. It is likely that this can be attributed to the display, which may not be as efficient as the latest and greatest AMOLED panel used in the Note 4.
Display
Overall, the Nexus 6 display is quite poor relative to the displays on other smartphones like the Galaxy Note 4, iPhone 6, and HTC One (M7). It's also a definite regression from the display on the Nexus 5, which is concerning given the fact that the Nexus 6 is $300 more expensive. It has been speculated that Motorola is unable to source the latest generation of panels from Samsung Display, which would explain why many of the panel characteristics are similar to previous generation AMOLED panels in the Note 3 and Galaxy S4. Although the efficiency of AMOLED displays when displaying black helps to reduce power usage with features like Ambient Display which wakes up the phone when notifications arrive or it is picked up, I don't believe it's worth the trade-off if it involves such heavy sacrifices in color accuracy and brightness.
Camera
I'm very happy with the improvements Google has made to their camera on the Nexus 6. I no longer feel like Nexus devices will always be a generation behind the competition when it comes to camera quality. Google and Motorola should also congratulate themselves on their white balance algorithm which helped the Nexus 6 to take photos that better reflected how the scenes actually looked in real life. I hope Google will continue to improve their camera software to make the user interface less menu driven, and to improve capture times for photos which is the one area that the Nexus 6 really falls behind its competition.

I went from the 6 Plus to the Note 4 then back to the 6 Plus. Bought the 6 Plus at the Apple Store and the Note 4 at Best Buy. Neither have restocking fees. Even got to keep my $200 Best Buy gift card when I returned the Note. I also have the Nexus on preorder through Motorola with a December 2nd delivery date. This is the first iPhone I've had since the 4. I'm really liking it, but also excited to try the Nexus. [emoji2]

I currently have the 6 Plus. Not bad but Apple was not ready for the big screen. So many apps are big and clunky. I've had a lot of random reboots and the screen isn't all that special.

I went from Note 3 to 4 and the lag and fluidity improvements are quite noticeable. Here's why...
AndreiLux said:
Qualcomm ROMs also have major issues mostly regarding camera - I'm not up to date with it.
They have fixed any discernible delay and lag as far as I can see in the Note 4 (and Alpha). The lag in previous versions were due to the userspace DVFS hooks, and that got totally rewritten in the Alpha and Note 4.
And btw you can just turn off those services and replace the stock keyguard - there goes your lag.

So you're recommending me I go through a retailer to try out these phones, and then just return before the typical 14 day policy? Did you bring it to your carrier to use it? Or did you just use it with wifi? I feel like if you went through your carrier for the service it'd cause more problems.

I was on the Next program with the first iPhone and a 2 year contract with the Note. Both signed through AT&T. Yes, neither retailer have restocking fees. If I would have went through AT&T they would have charged me $35 for the first one and blocked me from returning the Note. I would have been stuck. Went back to the Apple Store for my current 6 Plus.

The comparison is obviously against the newest Samsung series of devices. The Nexus 6 has a horrid AMOLED screen; my wife's Galaxy S5 has a better screen in terms of vibrancy and overall colors.
I read somewhere that the Super AMOLED of Samsung is actually constructed differently that other manufacturers? Is that true?
Unsure on the exact panel , all i've heard from the videos is " gorgeous "and "bright " though

Check android authority video comparison of 6p vs old nexus 6. To me the amoled on the 6p seemed too yellowish and very similar to the nexus 6 screen. That makes me think amoled being used this year is again lower quality. On the s6 and note 5, the amoled whites are really white...while on the 6p video the whites seemed yellowish like nexus 6. That's a red flag.

I'm holding off on the 6P because I might make the move over to the Edge 6+ or Note 5. I'm at the point where build quality and screen mean more to me than anything else.
The dev is getting "boring", since there isn't really much left to improve when it comes to stock android.

I feel the same that's why I am using the note 5. I have had every nexus, but starting from nexus 5 development scene wasn't that great anymore. OS has reached a level where there isn't much improvement left for the developers to make.

I wish Samsung put out a Google version (or whatever it was called), like they did with the Galaxy S4. If they did that for the Note 5 or any of the S6's, I'd be happy.
My wife wants the Edge+, and I will probably get the Note 5.
I really wish that more people with the hands on opportunity would talk more about the screen quality. It's really crazy that they are not.

SW: It has a Samsung WQHD AMOLED panel. We have spent a lot of time tuning the white-point and color gamut for these panels - hope you will enjoy the accuracy of the display.

Well that's promising, without being asked, they specifically address the yellow/white issue.

Yup I noticed that which shows they were listening.

Doesn't the Nexus 6 also use a Samsung Amoled? I think the argument is that Samsung uses the "best" Amoleds for their devices and don't share.

Any word on what panel is used for the screen in the Nexus 6P?

That 1000% confirms that screen will be crappy again. Sucks they stopped using ips from LG, like they did with nexus 5.

Nothing is as bad as the Moto X 2014 screen. I have that and it's soooo yellow.
The Nexus 5 might be the perfect phone, at least to me.

That's like the most genetic answer ever. They completely ignored the question about the panel. It must be the same as the Nexus 6.

Lol they don't give a single **** I think. Nexus has never been about premium hardware. Google guys are smart and they probably notice how blind their fanboys are. No matter what Google sells, or at what price, fanboys will buy it. That's what they are doing now. They sold the nexus 6 for 700+ last year, and in less than 11 months, that phone dropped to $300. That's 68% loss in less than 1 year. Speaks a lot of quality of hardware.

None of the YouTube reviews said nothing bad, and im sure its a different display than the Nexus 6. I have the Samsung S6 now and the screen is amazing. I assure you the screen on the 6p will be just fine. I'm getting rid of the S6 is because the user experience suck balls thanks to AT&T. Even after the 5.1.1 update. I still think my Nexus 5 "rip" ran a lot smoother then the S6. just my personal option.
