I've got Nexus 6 for 2 days. I'm coming from Nexus 5 and LG G3.
I must say, what the @@uk did Motorola and google did to a nice design of Nexus 5 ? This phone looks damn ugly.
No notification light by default ? Say what ?

Why would you buy a phone which you think looks ugly? Did you buy it without seeing it first?
1. You bought a phone you think is ugly ?
2. Yeah the Notification light thing is a Joke, but XDA devs fixed this so thumbs up there !
So that's a your mental for buying a phone you don't like and then for not using light flow and thirdly a bit more stupid for making a thread that highlights your stupidness lol.
Oh well
Lol

I'm using lightflow, I can't find mixer option under notification settings. where is it ?
I bought it just because it is Nexus 6 and fastest CPU on the market.
My nexus 6 looks much nicer than my nexus 5. Looks are subjective though.
Im sorry ...but....why are you posting this...if you are not a fan of the nexus 6...then tell motorola or better yet return it...the nexus 6 may have its flaws but they are fixable and this is pretty awesome device in looks and hardware...please delete thanks
first off, the n5 was made by LG, not motorola. secondly, the g3 is an ugly piece.. so you are doing well with buying ugly phones. anyways, i think that the n6 is a beautuful piece of hardware. and who are you to call my beautiful, ugly? i think your thought of beauty is ugly

G3 is much better looking phone. It's slick. Nexus 5 is much better looking phone.
Americans don't know a damn in designs. iphone/ipad are made by a british fella as well.

I don't think I'm ugly. I'm European, Europeans usually look much better than Americans. Americans are ugly.
I have to agree. I love the minimal design of the n5. That being said, I knew exactly what the n6 looked like before purchasing and decided it's something I could live with (especially after throwing a case on it). I think the white looks a lot better than the blue.

Killer looking all white and chrome bezel! I want!! Have you guys seen this phone before? Looks like it has 1seg tv like japan too!
That's a KIRF, just a knockoff. The buttons are wrong, the ports are wrong, resistive touch screen, the Sense UI looks fake... It's definitely not an HTC.
Yeah, I think you're right! lol It must be a white version of this phone.

Why would you want that garbage?
That thing is laggy as hell, is that donut it's running?
an all white evo would be kinda cool though.
the design looks awesome
He obviously mentioned the design haha pura pirateria
Alternate colors are nice maybe a titanium look like g2

Hehe, that thing is pretty messed up! I still wish HTC would make an all white phone for Sprint though. Or at least make less models of similar phones so the accessory industry can make like how the iPhone accessories are.

that is the ugliest pos chinese knockoff i've seen in ages.. & you really want something like this? try ebay there are tons of chinese crap devices on there.. knock yourself out. maybe literally j/k

Is it just me or is the nexus just sexiest phone. not trolling just every time i see one i want it. best looking by far.
I remove mine from its case as soon as I get home, just can't stand its looks being spoiled It might also just be me but it feels seriously slick as well!
I like the simplicity of it. No chrome, bezels, etc. Not that those are necessarily bad things but depending on the design, sometimes it gets cluttered.
the nexus is freaking beautiful. prob the nicest phone i've ever had or seen. i have it out of the case now just to enjoy using it naked! i actually hate this though because i keep avoiding upgrading to a new phone cause none are as good as the n1, but at some point i will have to switch!
I agree. Nexus One is one of the sexiest looking devices out there :drools:
I was real sad that I had to sell my Nexus One because of the T-mobile/Att merger but, outside of a white iPhone 4, no other phone even comes close

You didn't have to sell your phone because of the merger, not yet at least. The merger hasn't even started yet. Maybe in a year or two it will be necessary, but a lot will change over that time.
It's extremely sexy! Just ask the girls at AVN!
I was in love with my vibrant--then I got an N1 for my other line and I kinda neglect the sammy goodness now. The vibe is definitely jealous.
I like it but I think it would look so much better with the G2's trackpad that lights up!
If there ever is an HTC nexus 2 I hope they simply update and refine the Nexus Ones look and features but don't do something extreme and for the love of God keep the damn trackpad, or a trackball.

i agree with you, but it wont happen. HTC will do every single thing opposite of what we want, and then do things nobody would have cared about in the first place. i'd bet money on it!!
i'm sure they'll remove the trackball and give no notifications, then make some solid back so no extended battery possible.

same here
I have to agree with you and have said this in other forums... the N1 is the sexiest consumer electronics device so far in my opinion. I like the industrial design of the iPad 1 and the iPhone 4 a lot, but this phone just feels so good in the hand and its metal casing and soft touch accents make me never put a case on it just because I love the slim form factor in my hand and pocket too much. only thing I did was keep an invisibleShield on it at all times.
I think I actually prefer the look of the a HTC Pyramid a little more than the Nexus One. The simplicity of the Nexus S has also caught my eye. Overall the Nexus One may win... however, if Apple made a cell-phone sized iPad, I think I would prefer that to anything else hands-down. The original HTC Desire is also nice looking...
I love my Nexus One!
It's Teflon® coating looks simply stunning.
I probably won't upgrade until HTC Pyramid is out and about.
Up until now only the nexus one and the pyramid made me call them "sexy".

I like the Pyramid design. It's very similar. The Thunderbolt/Aspire are nearly as nice as my N1. I really like my case it shows off the front, but it's still not as sleak and nexy as it is w/o it!
I love the trackball. It will never be the same w/o it!
Those samsung phones are Uugly!
Love the teflon coating ... very unique.
No doubt when I got it I bought it along with ATT captivate. I almost wanted to sell my n1 over my captivate. I was crazy I tell you crazy. But yeah phone is not too big but perfect. I like it Alot cuz you can mod. I love modding. Cars, bikes and my phone. Lol.

Must admit, I had the same feeling after watching that and sticking to my HOX. I'm not gonna cancel my pre-order though, I'm sure I'll love it when it comes.
I'm of the opposite opinion. It's looking better as I see it being handled more and more by reviewers. A big issue with phones this size is usability with one hand. Contrary to the specs it seems the Samsung may actually be narrower than the One X, and the rounded profile will give better reach. I like my One X very much. It's built stunningly well and feels very good in the hand, but even with my good sized guy hands I can just barely reach the ends of the screen as well as the hard buttons at the bottom without repositioning my hand.
The strengths and weaknesses of these two phones complement each other so well that there's nothing between them overall net. (The One XL has none of the problems the One X does since they have different chipsets and screens). Thankfully that glossy battery cover of the SIII can be changed. It's my biggest issue with this phone. If physical usability in the hand of one is much better than the other it will be the trump imo. I think I will return my One X and wait till the SIII releases. Maybe I'll end up getting another One X, but considering how different these two phones are and considering I'm in this for two years (contract) I want to be sure I'm getting the right one.
How funny they've made a magnetic cover for it like what the iPad 2 has.
That blue colour just looks better and better the more I see it. So glad my pre order of the white version cancelled itself lol

Is it me or does that back cover look so much better than any other photo taken from the unpacked event? I mean the back cover and the finish actually looks really nice in the video when he took the phone out of the box
Oddly enough few "hands-on" posts suggests that the phone actually feels nice in hand
This is better than porn! I can't wait to get this phone
I personally think it's hideous, I mean it looks like a S2 from the front and a turtle from the back, if I were to buy it, I will put a casing on that thing straight away.
Let's me rationalise this fairly subjective and superficial subject, if you're a guy, would you prefer a young girl with smooth skin and curve body or an old lady with wrinkly skin? This is what N2 and N3 reminds of.
I want to know what everyone else thinks of it.

Love it. I have no problems with plastic being used. Slap on a case. As long as I get a removable battery and ext sdcard then I'm fine.
Looks better than the first two notes. Improvement is always welcome

Am I the only one who likes smooth things over wrinkly things?
It's bringing sexy back. I'm glad it's thinner than the outgoing Note, too. That one felt a bit thick.

Judging it only from pictures won't do justice. I suggest you to hold N3 personally before you decide.
Faux leather design gives N3 a distinctive personality instead of make it looks like S4.
Personally I think it's a good change. I'm bored with previous Samsung design. All of their phones (from the cheap ones to S4) looks the same.
There are already a few threads regarding thoughts, comparisons, impressions, etc..

I recently purchased the Galaxy S5 and I have to say, it's one of the best phones I have had. I am yet to have any problems with it and it's just perfect for my everyday use!
Has anyone else got it? What are your thoughts?
Same here dude! There's so much hate going on about it online but honestly it makes no sense when this is definitely better than other galaxy phones all around and it's just a beautiful device. Just because its made with plastic shouldn't make it "bad". Glad I'm not alone!

Tell me about it. It doesn't deserve this much hate just because of the material it's made of. Why don't people base it off the actual phone and not the material.

Because people are all about looks/aesthetics these days, that's why.... either way I wrap my baby up in a case, so ven if I had an M8 you wouldn't be able to see the "premium, beautiful metal build". FYI I prefer the plastic, doesn't dent or scratch nearly as easy as metal, and less weight, so when/if it does fall, it gets less damage!
my fav was the note 2... but this phone is great the m8 was long for no reason didnt feel good in the hand and was heavy
soon as i got the 5 out the box it felt way better before even turning it on

the hate is all about because samsung is getting complacent and not changing up the phone exterior.....i mean..it essentially looks like a S4
what i don't like about it is that i think samsung is mass producing too quickly and a lot of phones have random issues here and there like scratched bezels, crooked stuff, mushy home buttons, etc...the QA went downhill
I'm happy with it!
I've never had a problem with touchwiz. This one is more user friendly and maybe more designed for the casual user but I do find things easier now.
The battery life is better than my S3 but all phones seem to start out with battery life being good for the first year then it goes down.
I haven't taken many pictures but I'm not real happy with the camera.

I actually liked the handling of the S4 (might be one of the few who actually did lol!)
I actually have to, but I agree about the bezel. Even tho I really like the look of the S4's bezel, the one of the S5 is pretty horrible lol. I really dont like it at all. But, that alone wouldn't persuade me from getting it.
I'll also admit that the white one feels extremely slippery on the back. Besides using an OtterBox for work every day, I'm not a huge case guy. Soon as i T home each day, I take the Defender off and slip on the Spigen bumper case that I got. Phone almost slipped outta my hands quite a few times already.
Orhan than that, I got no regrets. Very well rounded device. Surely won me over once again compared to HtC

I don't get how this phone has too big of a bezel. I feel like if it were any smaller id be hitting the screen too much. I'm used to a bezel coming from EVO devices so I may be a bit ignorant about it.
