So I have been thinking about maybe replacing my Nexus 7 not with a Nexus 9 but actually a Nexus 6. But I wanted a good size comparison of the actual screen real estate, so I did some cut n pasting. I thought there would be less of a difference but 7" with 16:10 turns out to be quite a lot bigger than 6" in 16:9. So it wont be a worthy replacement, at least not for me. I'm posting it here because someone else might be in the same thoughts.

That's a pricy replacement...
The Nexus 6's display is a little over 15 square inches in area, versus the Nexus 7's 22 square inches.
If you don't need phone functionality, you should consider the nVidia Shield tablet as well, it have quite a few features the Nexus 9 lacks.
You might consider a 6.1" Ascend Mate 2. Still not as big [emoji2], but at least a lot cheaper than a Nexus 6. I have an LTE N7 and the Ascend and it holds it's own overall.

Ascend Mate 2 was already confirmed as a device Huawei will not even update to KitKat, let alone Lollipop.
True, but that didn't come out until after October 27. [emoji2]
thanks for this info. have to account though that the N6 has 2 generations improvement on specs and is more portable. i am also on the fence on this decision.
update : In the end, I just got another Nexus 7 2013. much more cost efficient
Random thoughts on the n6 vs n7. Nexus 6 has a better quality screen, is lighter and faster with 50 percent more ram. I have both and I find that there isn't much usability difference between them actually. However, if you want to watch a movie, is nice to sit the n7 down on a table with a kickstand and it's easier to view at a distance. But n6 speakers are as good or better than the n7. I still end up using both everyday. The phone gets about 4 times the use, so I put it on the charger and grab the n7 when I get home from work. The n7 has much better battery life in my usage. I have OmniROM lollipop and elementalX kennel on both. I find that I sometimes use them both at the same time, the n7 for movies or YouTube and the n6 surfing or replying to emails, etc. I used to have a 10" tablet and a 4" phone, but the n6n7 combo is still surprisingly complimentary.

I could not ordered the damn Nexus 4...so was lurking around for alternative. Today I saw new Droid DNA. It seems like a good alternative matching up everything Nexus 4 can do but has more like 440 ppi or 1080 x 1920 resolution, wifi 5ghz, and support LTE and GSM unlocked. The resolution alone kick Nexus 4, S3 LTE i9305 and iphone 5 butt already...so now I have a dilema
When comparing the Nexus 4 to DNA & S3 LTE (i9305), it seems to have true google experience only over DNA and nothing much else. All 3 are quadcore and 2GB ram.

Even though they seem to have same hardware, somehow DNA outperform Nexus 4 on benchmark...not sure why

So now, I'm thinking if I can't get Nexus 4 by end of Nov, I'm going to grab a Droid DNA instead since it is gsm unlocked. What do you guys think?
I think it might be down to the thermal throttling that everyone is posting about, wait for some Kernel development and i believe the N4 will start to hit it's stride.
I am convinced that it all has to do completely with the Linux kernel they're using. It needed a couple more weeks of development and unfortunately, it wasn't ready for prime time but I am sure that the XDA community will make it kick the competition's ass within 3-4 weeks of steady development.
As always, it's all about what you want, want the AOSP experience along with a MASSIVE (understatement of the year) development community with great, quality hardware?
I don't need to bother selling you on the Galaxy S III, it's a great phone.
or do you want the DROID DNA which will be locked down, much more expensive but in return, you get the much higher resolution screen.
You need to ask yourself, do the pros of the DROID's screen outweigh the additional $300-400 cost? For me, not at all. It's new tech and it's never good to be an early adopter with HTC (as I learned with the HTC Thunderbolt). Not to mention we've hit the point where these phones are often more powerful than most PCs and next year's focus will be 1080P displays along with battery tech meaning the next Nexus will probably be everything you want plus more.
Hello,
I want buy a tablet. My first Table. I have got only a Samnsing Galaxy Note 2
In my country, i have found these prices:
Nexus 10 - €209,00
Note 10.1 - €229,00
Note 10.1 2014 - €419,00
The tablet will be used for Social Network, Internet Browsing, Music, Video (Low and High Definition)
I like a good display
I don't like lags
Which one do you recommend ?
THANK YOU
Okay, you're in the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 forum. If I had to guess and this is only a guess mind you, I think that most people here would take the 3rd option! The Galaxy Note 10.1 2014!
What did I win?
The original Note 10.1 has a 147 PPI display which is pretty bad by today's standards. The Nexus 10 has a good display and even though it's old should be kept updated by Google. Its got an older processor and display design so even with a larger battery gets worse battery life than the N10.1-14. The N10.1-14 has a ton of features, especially for productivity, that the Nexus 10 doesn't. If you're not going to use them they won't provide a whole lot of of value. After the 4.4 update lag on the N10.1-14 is almost non-existent. It's also much thinner and lighter than the Nexus 10.

If you can swing the price difference, get the N10.1-14 (or Tab Pro 10). If not the Nexus 10 is still a fine device.
I'd go with the Nexus 10 in your case. I have a Note 10.1 2014 after doing quite a bit of research on all 3(and Sony Z1), The reason I went with the Note 10.1 2014 is because of the note taking capabilities. The display and performance is easily the best of the three but there's no sense in purchasing the 2014 if you're not going to use these enhanced capabilities. If I wasn't going to use a tablet for productivity and wanted to save a good $150, I would have gone with the Nexus 10.
re: display. the Note 10.1 (2014) has the best colour gamut of the three out of the box. and Samsung also allows for three colour modes (with varying degrees of colour accuracy).
Thanks to all.
I have bought Nexus 10
Good choice.

Hadn't seen any real Nexus 6 size comparisons but finally found this one ^ and thought I'd share.
Your thoughts?
Nexus 6 is bigger, wider and thicker than iPhone 6+. So I guess this proto is smaller than final version.
Edit: I didn't saw that iPhone 6+ got bumper, so this is reason why it looks bigger than N6.

Yes, that's a prototype and not the same size. The Nexus 6 is definitely bigger than the iPhone 6 Plus in every dimension. And it's bigger than the Note 4. It's bigger than the OnePlus One. It is just a huge honking phone. A phablet to rule over other phablets and crush them.
Use PhoneArena's size comparison tool to get an idea.

It even has a cool feature to calibrate the website so that it shows you the phones in their actual sizes.
The front facing speakers dont look very noticeable in that picture, are they there? If so, i love it! Better implementation than the tacky looking speakers on the 2014 Moto X

Dear lord...
Look at the visual comparison between the Nexus 6 and iPhone 5s HERE

They are there, you can see them if you zoom in.
I've already ordered a Moto X, but everyone has a thing in their house which is (almost) the same size as a Nexus 6 and its this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VNvHzBgnL.jpg
Its the same height but the phone may be slightly wider.
I know it sounds like a pretty stupid question, but I'm just curious, why are the top and bottom bezels so big? One of the things I liked the most about my nexus 6 were the small bezels , the nexus 6p has iphone style kind of bezels (which are huge :/ ) and it looks bigger than the nexus 6 (which as a bigger screen)... yes it has stereo speakers, but so did the nexus 6 ! and the battery size is not huge, smaller bezels would have made the device more manageable, huawei made it work with the mate 8 , tiny bezels and a 4000 mah battery, I just drool thinking about it, I would give up the stereo speakers ANY day and trade it for something like that, I barely use them, I use headphones all the time and my phone is mute all the time (except for calls) :/
Well I certainly don't see this as a stupid question as I was wondering the same after I had received my Nexus 6p. I supppose larger bezels are established on larger internal components but I could be wrong.
because they don,t have the choice.

and, I like the fact the bezel is a little bit big. Because when i'm holdint it with one hand, my palm almost touch the screen.
Try lighting up Mate 8's screen, you will be scared by the amount of actual bezels around it in all directions. That's the magic of faux-zero-bezel, lying to you in press images and renders. Huawei is just being honest with you with the Nexus 6P.
Also, considering the addition of dual front speakers, it ain't too big in my opinion - see HTC for reference.

In order to fit a larger battery in the phone they needed to position components at the top and bottom of the device.
Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Honor 8X, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Honor 8X is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

best bang for buck!
Was first sure on getting the Huawei P20 lite, then the Nova 3i, then now this appeared!
It's amazing! My only hatred is with the EMUI itself.
Honor 8X the 6.5-inch Fullview Display
Emmmmmm I really appreciate this new feature.

love the design and value for money, hate the restrictive nature and bloatness of EMUI, overall score 7.5 out of 10, considering it is a late 2018 mid ranger.
Just received it this week following a discount on Amazon, it is great. It is absolutely mid-range (I have been playing with my friend iPhone XS max and obviously there is a big gap).
Design is beautiful (I have the blue one, looking very good) and screen is as well beautiful in size although I come from AMOLED and the difference is noticeable. But I bet I'll get used to it.
Battery is as promised, 1,5 day for my 2 first cycles with quite intensive usage (that was my 2 main criteria for this purchase - big screen and long lasting battery).
Everything else is smooth and fine, so far I do not understand very well all the criticism about the photocamera. It seems really ok to me, and I have not been playing around will all the settings available yet.
I don't like very much EMUI, but ok, it is fine as well, the delta with normal android is not that big.
One feature I will definitely miss from my good old Nexus 6 was the fast charging (80% in 30mn!) and the wireless charging (I had wireless chargers spread across home and office and that used to be very convenient, never had to plug it anymore). Here charging is a raw and slow process....
But hey, for 265€ !!! The delivery is quite amazing.
So to stay on topic, true love is there! I suspect it will not be a very long lasting true love (as it has been with my Nexus 6, after 4 years together) but let's enjoy a medium term relationship for that price tag
The Honor 8X is the kind of phone you might buy if you want one that looks new, with all the latest design cues, but don’t want to spend a huge amount of money. That the front is almost all screen is the Honor 8X’s star feature. Switch it on, in late 2018 at least, and it looks similar to an 800$ phone. According to me these three key features make this phone worth buy!
-All-screen front, glass back and metal frame
-Good 1080 x 2340 screen
-Mid-range CPU is biggest sign that this isn't a flagship
in full love with this phone
