Google Nexus 6 is nothing but just a larger Moto X

Look just like a bigger Moto X made by the same company that makes Moto x. Boring. Waiting for Note 5.

Because the Galaxy Note Phablets do not look like their Galaxy S Phone counterparts, right?
Did you really need to make a thread to state your opinion, rather than simply state it in the "What do you think" thread?

Enjoy waiting an entire year.

OP probably mad cause can't afford it pz.

OP has a good point, you can't just dismiss his arguments just because Samsung sucks.
The point OP is trying to make is that at least the Note series offers more diversity than the Galaxy S counterparts, whereas the Nexus 6 is just a bigger version of the Moto X (with almost identical specs) and almost no phablet benefits.

Op is mad but who cares

Sure, it looks like a bigger Moto X. Specs wise though it isn't. Higher res screen, bigger battery, better camera with OIS, stereo speakers (only 1on the X), and that's what I can remember from the top of my head. If someone is trying to justify not purchasing it for some reason, fine. However, don't just call it a bigger X

Higher resolution and bigger battery is expected with a bigger phone. Nothing special. Nothing to differentiate it from moto X apart from the size.

Alright, you got me there.
Nexus 6 vs Moto X
2K display vs 1080p
3GB RAM vs 2GB
S805 vs S801
3220mAh vs 2300mAh
Adreno 420 vs Adreno 330
13MP (OIS) vs 13MP
$649 vs $549
A hundred dollars extra for an upscaled Moto X (both size and spec-wise).
Now I guess the only other argument someone can make is the lack of phablet-unique tools/features. But at this point it depends on how Android Lollipop will handle phablets.
Sorry OP, your claim has been disproven. The Nexus 6 is not just a bigger Moto X.

is screen amoled?

Apparently so. Guessing it's for better battery consumption on darker colors.

Also has qi charging. And a lack of tacky back covers

I guess might be a good media consumption device.
If only it had stylus, removable battery and sd card, then I might buy it.

the n6 looks better as well

Completely wrong.
It's not just bigger. Unlike the 2nd Gen Moto X, the Nexus 6 has:
OIS
3 GB ram (vs. 2 GB on Moto X)
64 GB storage option (32 GB max on Moto X)
Bigger battery (that will do much more than just compensate for the larger screen)
It covers more LTE bands (such as band 12 for T-Mobile, which the 2nd Gen Moto X is missing) and is more of a true global phone.
stereo speakers
USB-On-the-go
Wifi Direct
Snapdragon 805 (vs 801 on Moto X)
Krait 450 CPU (vs 400 on Moto X)
Adrena 420 GPU (vs 330 on Moto X)
The Nexus 6 is a much better device in many ways than the 2nd Gen Moto X. It also has a much more subdued version of the Motorola Logo on the back (which is really ugly, I think, on the 2nd Gen Moto X, marring an otherwise nice design).
(But too bad it's so huge, sigh. I don't really want a phablet.)

Moto G 2015 wish list

Ok, so i love Motorola as a company, despite the recent hate (which is not justified in my opinion), i love all their products and i think they are great. I owned a Moto G 1st gen and bought the Moto G 2nd gen right after the launch and loving it even more after Android L update, so i have a wish list for the next gen
If they want to dominate the mid range phone segment and make a killer smartphone i would recommend the next wish list, i don't know if it is possible for the price, so here it is:
Display: 5” - 5.5" full HD IPS 1080 x 1920 pixels
Processor: Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 615 octa-core chipset (MSM8939) 64-bit
GPU: Adreno 405
RAM: 2 GB A MUST!
Storage: 16GB, microSD card slot, up to 64GB
Camera: 8 Megapixel Rear Camera, 2MP Front Camera
Battery: 2700 mAh
Software: Android L or latest
Dual front facing speakers
And all the conectivity, GPS, microUSB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth etc.
For the same price! Or max 200$
What do you guys think? Is it possible?

You are pretty much describing the Moto X, but at the price of a Moto G.
I'd say 5-5,2", 720p screen, Snapdragon 410, LTE , 16GB ROM, 2GB RAM, camera stabilizer, microSD, 2700 mAh battery. So the same thing with a bit of an improvement in the processor, LTE, more RAM, more battery and stabilization for the camera; exactly what the Moto G 2nd Gen lacks of.

Just more RAM - 2 GB would be the best possible improvement. With the other specifications I am ok actually.

I only add more RAM and 64bits processor
And LTE By default for all models
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app

2GB Ram
Snapdragon 615
LTE
Adreno 405
2400 mAh battery
That would keep it competitive with newer mid-range phones coming out.
Keep the screen the same. Camera could use some improvement, but I don't want a bump in price, so I could do without that. I don't even mind 8GB internal since it has an SD slot.

Moto x 2nd gen has a snapdragon 801 32-bit processor and a amoled display where are they the same? Please point the similarities here is the spec list of the X 2nd gen http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_x_(2014)-6649.php

Well, I meant "a" Moto X. I just don't see it happening for 179-200$ and those specs are high-end, so if you wanted something similar you should be looking for a Moto X. It'd cost you, but you aren't getting this at that price.

The price for those components will drop by the end of the year when the Moto G 2015 wil come out, look at this phones, and you will see it is possible Zenfone 2 http://www.androidauthority.com/asus-zenfone-2-hands-first-impressions-579187/ 200$ for the base model, ZTE Blade S6 $250 and you get Lollipop, Snapdragon 615, LTE, and a 13MP camera http://www.androidauthority.com/zte-blade-s6-price-specs-features-583086/

Those really aren't high end specs in 2015, that's similar to what the next crop of already announced midrange phones is offering. Component are getting cheaper and the mid-range market is more competitive now than when the first Moto G came out.

An OLED FHD display would be nice, especially for the night mode so the smartphone can finally be used as a suitable nighstand alarm clock without that awful background light all the current smartphones are emitting... !!!
Other than the above:
64bit 4/8 core CPU
2GB of LPDDR4 RAM
16GB ROM
Gorilla Glass 4
Replaceable 3200 mAh Li-ion or Supercapacitor
8-12 Mp Camera with stabilization and depth sensor
2-5 Mp Front facing camera
5"-5.1" FHD OLED display
Better stereo front speakers
And maybe a little less plastic for the housing

My wishlist would be basically slightly upgraded Moto G LTE
4.5" screen
2Gb ram
Larger battery
Better camera
8GB ROM with microSD slot.
Wireless charging.
Sidenote, I'm not convinced that Moto G needs to over 5" screensize because one of it's strongest selling points aside from clean OS is that there are very few options in it's size group unless you go for used and/or older models. For example, Samsung's compact models are really underwhelming while Sony's offerings are very expensive, then you have random budget-brands which I wouldn't touch even with a 10-foot pole. LG has couple models that are pretty close, but display resolution is disappointing.

if thats what the 2015 moto g is going to have, im leaving the flagship, sorry, this is my choice

As per the specs u want be ready to pay heavily as u have described a Moto gen X 2

And by considering the specs suggested by some members i think it will beat the price of Nexus 6 or Moto X 2 . lol

I plan on getting it. However, I'm very happy with my 2014 X and will wait till the price drops a bit.

Doubt there will be a fingerprint scanner...Moto's head guy isn't a fan of it. I'll be selling my 2014 for the 2015

Dont think they'll go QuadHD. That would drive prices up and moto found a nice market for now. They're not that stablished yet. Also I think the 16GB is gone and no MSD, that would "kill" moto design for the X. Unless moto comes up with a trully insane new phone, I'll remain on my 2014. This thing is still a beast

The n6 was supposed to have a fingerprint scanner but it was ditched. So, it is possible that the next Moto X will have it
I don't like the screen size. 5.2 inches max. I'll definitely be passing this one because 810 processor

From Moto x pure to the N5x

I have to add that I just came from motorolas version of a nexus being the Moto x pure and I immediately had way more interest when i got my hands on the N5x.
Regardless of the Moto x specs 21mp cam and ram .... I get better pic quality by far even with only a 12.2 mp camera better keyboard response better feel with screen size more unique development and mods available and easier root etc...
Anyone agree coming from a Moto x ?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA Free mobile app

I fully agree!
I was switching the devices too and I'm far more "impressed" by the N5x, than I was when I unboxed my Moto X Style/Pure. Impressive Cam, very light, perfect size (at least for me), the battery stats (getting up to 6 SoT with Custom Kernel and deactivated encryption). I'm pretty happy with the switch and I'm not regretting it one bit.

Moto Display is much better than ambient display. It's one killer feature for Moto.

True.

Switched from moto x pure to N5X 3 week's ago. Was a bit hesitant because of the smaller battery and the 2gb ram on it. Somehow everything on the N5X feels right... The camera, the fingerprint sensor, the size and weight. I bought the moto x thinking I was done with rooting and modding my phone's but I was wrong. I enjoy playing with it too much and the dev support on the moto was just not strong enough for me. Indeed moto display does work better but then again...the N5X does have a LED on it. Getting 4 to 5hrs SOT on both phones and no lag so far....I'm really happy I made the switch!

Nexus 5X V Moto X Pure
I was considering between the two and decided to go with the 5X mainly because of the screen size and Nexus branding. Although, I was really on the fence about it because of the Moto X's superior memory (3GB vs 2GB) and video stabilization. In the end I am glad to hear the opinion of someone who has had experience with both #TeamNexus

I also sold my 2015 Moto X Pure Edition for the Nexus 5X. I would have probably kept it if it weren't for the size. Moto Display is better than Ambient Display, but they both suck on LCD screens. All of the Moto features were quite nice and added more value to the phone than most ROM features (IMO). It was near prefect but was too big and heavy for me. I probably wont ever own another "Moto" phone now that Motorola is now dead.

FWIW, before I got my smart watch I enjoyed a feature on Light Manager that would wake the screen up whenever I got a notification.

I've gone back an forth between both devices a few times and here are my thoughts. Battery life on the moto X is better. The Moto does not have input lag, where it can make the 5x at times very frustrating to use. You can certainly feel the difference that extra gig of ram makes. The nexus has the far superior camera and usability from a size stand point. I love the size and weight of the 5x. For me, in the end it was the moto x. I like the expandable memory and smooth operation of the device. The moto features are also a huge plus for me as I drive a lot in my job. Hope this helps.
