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.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if the device body is actually even thinner than 11mm. Why? Because the size is usually measured by the thickest part of the device, which in this case is the popping out camera. Think I already mentioned that somewhere...or maybe in another forum, never mind.
You can clearly see on the "Specification" part at the HTC website (picture of side of device) that the camera is the popping out. Just zoom in the picture.
What I just saw and what strenghtens my thought: The website includes the camera in the 11mm! So the "body" could be 10mm or even less.
Here is a zoomed in picture of what I mean. It's from HTC's website, I just added the red line. What do you think?
I'm also wondering why nobody actualy measured the size in any of those previews...

(Yeah, saw that ^^)
Yeah, with emphasis on "so much" ^^
If that device was 18mm thick nobody would've be that much interested. Even with 14mm it would still be unattractive because of its total size.
And even now, people are wondering if the device isn't too big for them. Making it even thinner could resolve those manners.
And maybe there are more people like me who try to imagine what it could feel like to hold that device in the hand, maybe also with building a paper model of it ^^ So 1-2mm thinner device feels a lot more comfortable =)
AND almost every preview compares the thickness, so it IS somehow important. ^^
Agree with Kabakara,
I already built a model from paper
gotta love the thin slim look... I wouldn't have gone HD2 if it was 14mm or thicker..
Hi!
I will use Nexus 4 for video chat and recording a video (sometimes). I am looking for a vertical kickstand case.
Vertical kickstand:

I used PureGear Hard Shell Case with Kickstand for my Gnex, and I loved it because I don't have to hold the phone for using video chat, and it just stands for recording a video (I do few silly stunts).
Why vertical? I use facetime/talk all time. It has to be vertical stand because horizontal stand will not work on facetime/talk because it would be too wierd for my friends turning their head to see me. lol
Is there a vertical kickstand case for Nexus 4?
Thank you so much!
Also looking for this or any know kickstand for the N4...
Seidio's kickstand case is in the works. Not sure when that will happen though. I can wait I always get the Active case/holster combo with my devices. Great for travel IMO.
I ordered this (ebayitem.com/350674511348) case on ebay. The photos appear to be of a real case and phone, rather than a mock-up. Once I receive it on 01/02, I'll post a brief review here.
(I actually ordered (ebayitem.com/160944505505) what appears to be an identical product at a slightly reduced price)
(Can't yet post direct links... sigh)

An update: I received the case, which is made of two parts (hard and soft). The softer part has a very strong vinyl smell which I am working to eliminate. The case fits well and is relatively light, though it adds plenty of bulk (and, I presume, protection commensurate with the extra material).
In other news, the touchscreen on my Nexus 4 gave out and I'm in the process of receiving a replacement. When I receive it, I'll post the review!
have you guys seen the new META watch?
looks pretty cool

As one of the XDA reviewers and long time users of both STRATA and FRAME, I'm drooling over this
The Verge just did a write up as well: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5277128/metawatch-meta-premium-smartwatch-brand
Coincidentally, Pebble going to introduce Pebble Steel which is the same as regular one but with a metal frame/bracelet, but it's nowhere near as elegant as this one. Sorry, but I think it was brilliant how they incorporated 4 corner buttons as part of the bracelet buckle (obviously Frank Nuovo design). Also, fantastic move to switch to epaper display.
Can't wait to test it out!!!
yeah really like the new steel pebble, the matte black with leather strap looks really nice
still, wish HOT Watch would be getting here sooner, really want to try the private calling function, if it's not to my liking i'm interested in something else
Btw, I haven't seen anybody confirm those hinges are secured by 4 corner buttons. I'm just assuming they are keeping functionality unchanged since the original MW has 6 buttons and going down to 2 would be too much of a change. I'm also curious if it's going to be waterproof like FRAME and if they're going to use a similar charging clip or something else, maybe magnetically attached one? As soon as I find out more details, hopefully after CES, I will post it in here.
I am more excited if there are much faster development on the Android software front!
I like the new hardware of course but at the moment pebble steel wins overall due to the solid development work on both official and unofficial software.
Still praying hard for my metawatch frame to be revived with this new announcement!

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.
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Google-Nexus-6/phones/8626
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 had my mind set on the HTC M9. The "leaks" from evleaks had me drooling.
Watching the live event left me disappointed, then on to Samsung.
For me that phone is utterly stunning, I can't wait to get hold of this & add Nova Prime etc.

I agree with you, it does look outstanding. I cannot understand why so many people are complaining. Samsung have been rightly criticised for their lack of design, especially on the flagship devices. They did a good job with the Note 4 and they upped the bar with the S6.
The usual iDiots complaining it somehow looks like an iPhone, which apart from a similar speaker grill - it clearly does not... There will be those that gripe about the lack of removable battery and SD card of course (and they may have a point) but WAKE UP! This is a phone made by Samsung that actually looks gorgeous and actually looks like a flagship phone.
I am more of a Note fan so I won't be buying an S6 but am very much looking forward to seeing what they come out with for Note 5 this year if it builds upon this revamp of the Galaxy range.
I think the phone looks great. One issue that will bug the crap out of me is the fingerprints on the back. I want the black one, but may have to get white to mask it.

Next issue is spending the extra money for the 128gb. I need the storage.
Just curious. What do most people use all that storage for.

First take into account the OS size, so 32 is now 30 if you're lucky. If you have a kid like me, you take a lot of pics and vids. Average 13mp photo is 5mb or so each. Now with this phone, I'd have to copy all the data on my 128gb SD off to the phone storage. Taking into consideration I had a S4, S5, N3, N4, G2, G3, iphone 6. All photos and vids from each of those I have on my SD. It adds up.
