Came from the HTC M8. Loving the Nexus 6! Software is excellent, was a little timid to give up Sense because I liked it quite a bit. Only thing I'm missing is the camera software

Coming from the M7 and before the the OG Galaxy Note. Good to be back on a larger phone. Loving the speed increase and the stock lollipop. Dont miss sense, touchwiz or any other overlay.
coming from the previous nexus(nexus 5), just like before this year, and before that.. came from a g1 2 weeks before androids official release, to a nexus one, nexus s, galaxy nexus, nexus 4, nexus 5, and now the nexus 6
Last year I had:
Moto X, G2, One M8 and then I rode into the N6 on an N5.
I had HTC Evo 4G LTE going strong till the frame bend where the kick stand sits. I purchased a used LG Optimus G to get me going as there weren't anything close to what I was looking for, till ofcourse, the arrival of Nexus 6. Easily the best phone I've ever had.
Nexus 6 > OnePlus One > Nexus 5 > Nexus 4 > Galaxy Nexus > Nexus S > Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S1), G1
Last two phones I used as a daily driver were the LG Optimus G Pro and the Moto X 2013 Dev Edition.
I am not so sure that some of the things Google did with Lollipop are improvements, but I just got the N6 and still getting used to it and learning it's ins and outs.

Coming from note 3. I miss my SD card and IR blaster
Got the N5, galaxy nexus, and the first smahtphone for me was a Sammy Omnia II sporting windows mobile. This and other forums showed me the android light...
From the Nexus 5 <- Galaxy Nexus <- HTC Evo <- G1
Ditched my Note 2 for my n6. Don't miss the Note 2 one bit.
M8 to g3 for awhile and here now. Loved all of em but this is by far the latest and greatest.
Coming from the Nexus 5, it's Nexus only for me

Got my Nexus 6 on Friday, Dec 12th. I'm coming from the LG-G3 also and the features I miss most are: tap on & Quick Memo+ screen capture. I'm too timid to root these days. Haven't rooted much since my Nexus S days and I'm feeling like a dinosaur now.
I'm coming from the Mega 6.3. Loved the phone....despised the locked bootloader!!!! But, after the Mega, I just couldn't go back to a smaller screen!!!???

Coming from ole reliable, Galaxy Nexus.
Coming from moto x 2013, the Google now voice processes much faster, but the wake with voice from sleep seems more consistent on the moto x. Sometimes it just takes awhile for the nexus 6 to wake.

Since the LG is coming out soon for AT&T what do you guys think is the better buy?
Wait for the note 2. Every LG smartphone I have owned had been horrid. They have a lot of making up to do if they want my business again.

That's what I've been hearing too about LG...but the specs on it are top of the line right now. That's what's making it hard to decide.

Can't believe it's not coming out with jellybean, that's a shame with those specs. Wouldn't you think that LG would learn by now with all those complaints. I think LG is still stuck in the mid 2000's where you release a phone and there would be no need for updates.
Yeah hands down easy choice... Note 2..I had no luck with LG In the phone field

The note 2 is an easy choice. The LG optinus G isnt gonna last very long, with the upcoming nexus and early next year when the new super smartphone come out. The note is unique.

It's a good thing I read this thread, I was about to order a Note II today until I read this.
Back on topic, I'd personally go for the Note II over the Optimus G, for the huge battery if nothing else.
I prefer the expectacular samsung software and top-end phone that is the note 2 to a vanilla android with similar spects, i go for the note.

I thought about the nexus 4 but 8gb of storage and no SD card slot is a deal breaker plus I want the bigger screen of the note the gnexs screen is too small and I make the on screen Navy bar as small as it will go 24dpi. Plus Sammy has redeemed them selves since my epic 4g. Note 2 all the way for me just waiting to get the t-mo version unlocked

Ya Google seems to be going backwards if they are going to release a phone with 8gb of storage and a 4 inch screen. It sounds like they are just 're-releasing the nexus s but with a few more cores, lol. But at least the nexus s had an sd card slot. I don't understand why any company would release a phone with no sd slot. I know apple does it so they can charge you and extra 100$ for 16gb of space, even though u can buy a 16gb memory card for 25$ from Wal-Mart. But so help me god if Google starts emulating apple and their bullsh*t business model, I'm going on a serious rampage, SERIOUSLY!!! Haha

IIRC, the nexus S and every subsequent nexus had no SD card support. That's why I decided against the S. Google does that for a reason...internal storage is faster and more reliable than any SD card.
I personally don't care and won't purchase a phone without SD card support.

Who knows?! A Nexus is a Nexus after all.
Posted using xda mobile app
I hope google to continue support future version of android for nexus s. Most new devices are dual core or quad cores, with > 1G ram.. I dont think the new androids should only target for a high ended hardware spec. The NS is still a good "low end" demo device.
Its not really a good low end device spec wise anymore either.
These mobile devices are on what I think Anand refers to as hyper Moore's law. Which basically means the improvements on the mobile SoC are taking place a really rapid rate at this time. The difference between what a current gen chip and a two year old chip can do is huge
We are just now approaching the point where the chips are truly getting really powerful and aren't going to need to be leapfrogged by the next chip 6 months down the road. Example is the s4 pro and the next gen arm15 cores. Those chips are so powerful that they will be able to cut it for years no problem. Just how desktops have been for a couple of years.
The verge has a little piece up now on a HTC device with a 5 inch 1080p 440ppi display
There is a big deal from the software. Running stock jelly bean on the Galaxy Nexus was faster than touchwiz from S3. Single core iPhone4 and Lumia is pretty smooth to me (for the most part), taking OS differences aside.
That HTC device has been known for a while, (thats what you get for reading the verge), but I'm more interested inthe Oppo Find 5. Although I have doubt the later will be cyanogenmod supported. As for HTC, 1080p with Sense is still Sense, and you lose your warrenty rooting it and time too. Otherwize I would like a 1080p device. Though the LG Optimus G has S4 Pro and 13mp camera matches the Oppo Find 5 so its less compelling now.
With that aside I wouldn't mind a non-oversized phone with Nexus freedom. I'm looking at the Blaze by T-Mobile just getting CM10, but doesn't look like its a popular phone among devs, being Qualcomm S3 and all. I'm looking at the S3 mini too, though the form factor is ideal, it looks like a lazy attempt for Samsung to milk off their S3 popularity, for its expected retail price I'd rather get a Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from SGH-T959
The HTC device has been rumored forever. There where not any demo's / announcements prior to it being shown yesterday in Japan.
Its kind of a lackluster though, 16gb, non-removable battery, 8mp, no-microsd, and as I mentioned, Sense, process of unlocking and rooting...
Aside from the 1080p, I think phones like the Note2 and Optimus G has more features to offer. I'm still waiting to see a press release of the Oppo phone to see if all the specs are true though. Again, I'm bias.
Hopefully the multiple nexus rumours are true and the HTC one is built with the j butterfly blueprint. Stock android on that would be freaking awesome. I am doubtful though.

I'm trying not to think about an upgrade.
I've really enjoyed every update, except 4.0.4 giving me a weird power button issue that a clean install and 4.1.1 fixed.
I literally just flashed 4.1.2 on, and AGAIN it feels like my phone is a bit faster and snappier.
I'm going to treat my Nexus S like my G1....keep updating until it until it grinds to a halt.
Before that happen, I think your power button would stop working first.

With all due respect, most of us probably don't want to see this.
I'm all for choices but to say most of us would want this is a lie.
-Brought to you by Marino's Nexus 7-
If I wasn't such a moron I would have bought a Galaxy Tab 2 with TouchWiz because thats what we all want. But alas I bought a Nexus 7 with almost instant updates. Someone shoot me now.
I think many people would like a ROM with the multi-window ability of the Note 2. I for 1 wouldn't care if that ability came with a Touch Wiz ROM for Nexus 7 or another ROM for Nexus 7. I just want this functionality.
After getting an update for my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 the other day that finally gave me mirroring to chromecast support... I thought I would pull out my Nexus 7 (2012) and get it updated assuming it would be supported as well.
Upgrading my 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 was pretty painless but when I got the new chromecast app with the correct version, it didn't have the option.
Looking at the google announcement page, I see that the listed supported devices does not include the Nexus 7 2012, only the Nexus 7 2013 models....

The whole point of getting this tablet originally was for mirroring... and to find it still can't.
Not really using a tablet enough to really justify buying another that is supported, I will most likely just leave it along.
I do have the support with my Note 3 phone though and it works very well.

Hmm ... Not sure if Andoid M classifes as a update or as patch . IMHO its both ,since 5.1 is sluggish and tad buggy .
No updates would be bad and it sucks . One might think why invest in a expensive Nexus device when updates are so short lived . Apple fanboys might have some thing to brag about .
I'm not very concerned. Even if Google doesn't give us the update, it probably won't be very long before CyanogenMod comes out with it. I'm willing to bet that this tablet continues to get community support for another couple of years.
Without a CM Flo or deb device maintainer I doubt CM based on Android M would appear officially for us. Maybe other ROMs that have flo maintainers/devs will bring Android M to our devices after making 5.1.1 Lollipop binaries and stuff compatible with M

The only thing keeping me on Android is the ability to root, secure my devices, and retain full control of the file system - you know, administer the device. This is slowly being taken away, and when it does, I will probably jump ship. Apple makes quality hardware, and iOS isn't awful. It just doesn't give you any easy methods to truly administer the device without jumping through hoops.
In a world where you are a guest on your own device regardless of OS, Apple will come out the winner.

Besides the point you mentioned , Android does have other benefits ... But I was talking more in terms of Nexus devices . If high end devices & Nexus devices (from the google stable) dont get updates for longer , it would be crappy .No point investing in an expensive Nexus device..
If they stopped selling the N7 2013 in October 2014, 18 months of updates would end April 2016 I think.

Despite rumors circulating about the chance of official M for flo, I doubt that it will be left out. After all, Google recently announced monthly updates for a list of nexus devices that includes flo. Even if those updates came only in the form of patches for L, I'm sure unofficial support will be there. Even my old galaxy nexus has unofficially made it to the latest revision of lollipop...
I believe we will get it. It just turned 2 and its only like 3 month's older than the nexus 5. It'll be the last major update but it'll still get it. The 2 year guarantee is just that, a guarantee it doesn't mean they'll necessarily cut off devices at that point

Totally agree, 5.1.1 runs smooth on my N7 so I see no reason from a hardware perspective that the N7 shouldn't get M. I think it will be last release so lets hope its a good one.
When I bought my wife's 2013 Nexus 7, it was mid-2014 and I thought for sure it was my only chance of owning a Nexus device, living in the US. I bought it for me, but then I discovered I don't like tablets very much. Fortunately, my wife loves it, so I wiped it and made it hers.
From 4.2 to 4.3, 4.4, 5.0, and now 5.1, it's had four major updates. That's more than any Android phone I've owned has gotten. First got one, second got none, third one got three, fourth one got one so far. Samsung, Motorola, and Samsung again on US Cellular, and HTC on Verizon. All flagships but the first one. It seems to me that I really care about updates on my phones, but on the tablet, it doesn't matter. The tablet doesn't feel like a mission-critical device. It feels like a media device. Had the price gap not been so wide, I wonder if I shouldn't have just gotten an iPad. Not that the Nexus 7 is bad. I just found that a tablet didn't do anything for me. It's just a bigger screen.
If Google is going to cut Nexus updates off after just two years, that's better than a lot of OEM phones get. Though, I do wonder, why did the Nexus 4, released in 2012, get the M preview, but not flo, released in 2013? Or am I mistaken? Was the Nexus 4 abandoned as well?

Marshmallow hasn't been released so there is no AOSP Source made public from Google. ROMs will appear once Android 6.0 and it's Source Code is released (rumored by the end of this month)
