Yes, absolutely, especially with my UberMallow / Despair setup and doze kicking in now. #BeastMode #DarkSideArmy

Iv had mine since may of 2015, and I still love my N6 although its got a cracked screen it still performs great! Iv been wanting the note 4 ever since it came out and I would have gotten it, but if I can't have a device I can root and bootloader unlock I won't own it! I love the N6 because its super easy to BL unlock and root, and it doesn't void the warranty!

Absolutely! This is one of the few phones which has "legs": still premium and will maintain its relevance.

Of course I do. If I didn't I would have sold it and bought something else. The Nexus 6 is the only phone (other than my Gnex) that I've owned for more than 3 months before getting tired of it and selling it.

yes

A resounding YES! Especially now that I have a Marshmallow rom on it.

Just give me the camera improvements from the 6p but yeah this is the 1st phone I didn't upgrade in a years time.

I love it so much I asked it to marry me. But seriously, I may keep it until the 2017 Nexus is released. That's how much I love it. A 2.7ghz quad core cpu is no joke, and will be a beast for quite a while.

Yes still love this beast,coming from Samsung phones to Nexus. Gotta love it!!! :good:

Its a Nexus! Enough said!

Wouldn't consider upgrading until next year at the earliest. Phone does everything I need and does it well. My only caveat is that it needed a microsd slot.

I got the nexus 6 when it went on sale on Amazon. I love it. Takes me back to my OG Droid days when I would root and flash custom roms (on xtrasmooth right now). Sure the 6p is nice but I have no regrets at all getting the nexus 6. I will be keeping it for a long time

I just got mine last week (was waiting for Nexus 6P but saw this baby on Amazon for $400.) I'll own this phone for at least a year or so.

Do I still love it?....love is a strong word. I think this is by far one of the best phones available. But with that being said I am sadly getting bored of the device. And unfortunately neither the nexus 6p or nexus 5x really "do it for me" I'm actually debating on moving to an LG V10. I am over the whole flashing rooting custom rom thing.

I love mine still. The only thing that's tempting is the novelty of a fingerprint reader. Instead of getting a new phone this year I'm going to look into an Android Auto head unit for my car.

In a word, Yes. Best Nexus I have owned.

Mostly. Hardware wise and specs wise, yes. Though the cpu throttling and volume issues associated with it are a drag for me.

Coming back to Nexus 5

What is it about the Nexus phone that wanting me to keep coming back...
I bought it when it first came out on the Google store. After a few months of using it, I traded for the LG G2. The G2 is nice and all but it is not as smooth as the Nexus for sure. So, I traded to Nexus 5 again.. After another month of using, I traded for the HTC M8. The M8 is nice build but with a case on, no one notice any different. I can not even deposit checks to my bank using the M8 camera. So now I thinking of coming back to the Nexus again..
Just wondering if anyone in the same situation like me..
Thanks..

i think you should ask yourself: Why the hell i keep buying every phone that comes out?
i've been though like 6 phones in the past year <.<
had the nexus 5 twice and just sold it again cause I managed to get a OnePlus one
I think we all love the nexus mainly because how easy it is to upgrade, customize and because its really the best deal.
I sold the note 3 to get n5 and n7 2013.
I can't complain at all.
Best thing about it is they are light way and easy to develop for
Nexus5 usually is the best on XDA for Development and Fun
I'm personally thinking of getting rid of my N5 and getting the M8..
I've thought about buying several phones since owning the N5 since launch day. I like gadgets. But I've saved myself the grief and just held on to the N5 as I've played with all the 'latest greatest' flagships (sans the 1+1) and still to this day there is not a smoother snappier Android device than the mighty N5. This phone has spoiled me bad with its stutter-free blazing fast operation. It's going to take one hell of a device to get me to upgrade
I decided to get m8, couldn't be happier. Although the Nexus 5 was and is a nice phone I find the battery to be mediocre. If it wasn't for the battery I doubt I would have picked up the m8
---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------
I will say I periodically go back to N5 and am reluctant to sell. I will soon...as I need to handle some bills lol
After using the iPhone 5s for a few months, I bought the OnePlus One, didnt like it... but that got me itching for Android again so I sold it and bought another Nexus 5. Literally just booted it up a few minutes ago. Super excited to be back.

Umm, I just ordered the 1+1, I have N5 currently. What didn't you like about 1+1? I am probably going with 4.4 on it instead of CM.

Mainly just its size. It was too big for practical use for me. I had a hard time making the decision to sell it, there is no question that it's an amazing phone, it just wasn't for me. If you have no problem with a phone that large, then you will absolutely love it. It is a seriously bad ass piece of hardware.

Tried the GN2? My Note 2 is my backup, love it but N5 is way easier 1handed. May just sell my Note, Note 2 and N4 and keep N5 and 1+1.

Yeah, the Note 2 is too big for me too. I guess I'm just not a phablet guy. The N5 fits my large screen needs perfectly. I also have a Moto X which I absolutely love, and an iPhone 5s which will get upgraded to the 6 when it comes out. I think 4.7" is the absolute perfect screen size, so I can't wait for the iPhone 6. Gaming on that thing is gonna be amazing.
leaving BIG RED to either Tmob prepaid or ATT GO PHONE.. Im kind of in a smaller town but all have stores here so I am assuming they are ok.. I bought a N5 on swappa.com. I am a little nervous to leave vzw been with them over 12 years but I am tired of the locked down phones and games they play.

Bad idea lol. I just came from an M8 its good but the 1 flaw which is the camera is such a huge let down. The M8 would be the greatest phone Android has ever been on if only HTC would quit ignoring us and put better cameras in their phones. HTC is like Nintendo, kept ignoring the community/tech industry suggestions for hardware for years now they're in last place. They have been for 2 console generations now. On topic lol, if HTC had the camera sensor from a GS5, hell even a GS4 it would be perfect.

Is the camera really that bad? I'm thinking of doing the same and getting the M8. I did see some HDR shots which didn't look as bad as people made the camera out to be. Even on the Nexus I keep HDR on to get better shots. Is the front facing camera better on the nexus also?

Why do you want a nexus 6?

What is your reason for wanting a nexus 6? My reason is I want a device that delivers the full experience. I dont want to carry around more devices than i need to. I believe the nexus 6 can be my everything device for mobile. I wanted this after using a oneplus one for a little while. I really liked the big 5.5 inch screen and started to use my iPad less and less after getting it. All i keep thinking was if this was a little bigger and the resolution was a little bigger to match, it would be perfect. Well here came the nexus 6 with a 5.96 inch 1440p screen. I have a nexus 4 and have been loving it except the battery and the camera. So far from the hands on people are saying the camera and battery are better. Also the reception should be better than the oneplus on At&t. The nexus 6 looks big i hear it feels good in your hand and it is a beast with performance. After hearing this I immediately sold my iPad and my oneplus one. I am ready to carry around one device for all my mobile needs. I have big hands so i welcome the size.
What about you?
Android L which in turn means fast updates
Premium Nexus device (internal specs, big screen, front facing speakers, build quality, etc)
I need a good smartphone (currently using a temporary budget phone)
I think it's (one of) the best phones available
I want one for the Chip,native lollypop, size and cause I love my Nexus 5 experience so much that I run GPE on my HTC ONE M8 at&t model .oh and cause I just have to have multiple devices to keep me busy
AT&T HTC ONE M8
My last 11 phones have been Samsungs. I'm looking forward to zero lag.
My Nexus 4 has been showing its age lately in the battery department. I would be lucky to get 3 Hours SOT with the crazy battery. Plus if I reboot the phone in the middle of use my battery goes from 90% to 70% which drives me crazy.
While I know the N6 will not be the end all solution to my Battery life issues, I believe its no better time to upgrade since I skipped over the N5 in favor of this. Plus I am not wholly confident that the Next Generation Nexus devices will be viable for me if they end up becoming the first generation consumer ARA hardware. Something I would preferably like to avoid a year with until they can hammer out issues and wait out until the second generation hardware releases (2016-2017 release).
If* I can get my hands on a nexus 6 then I want one because of how easy nexus devices are to root, unlock and modify. and also because the device looks beautiful and has the specs to drool over. And of course pure stock android.
I too am currently using a budget phone(Optimus F6 anyone? haha) and can't wait for an upgrade.
I'm so tired of being on the outside looking in to the N5 community. Great ROM options, first available updates, and great Devs. Plus who know when we will see another Nexus device compatible with crappy VZW.
I bought the Galaxy Note 2 at launch, then upgraded to the Note 3 at launch. I loved both devices because I go crazy for hardware specs. I've never used a Nexus device before, but on both of my Notes, I realized that I mostly use AOSP custom roms... maybe about 90% of the times (I usually switch up custom roms every month), there's maybe one of two TouchWiz roms that I liked, but all the other ones were always always AOSP (or AOKP, close enough). Now that Google has decided to join the spec race, I for one am VERY VERY happy that the Nexus 6 is so expansive. You Get What You Pay For!!
The Nexus 6 won me over the Note 4, the specs are so incredibly similar it's ridiculous!
So yeah, Nexus 6, I wantz for all the amazing custom roms that will be available on this type of device with such incredible power hosted inside! Can't wait!
Tomorrow is another Play Store restocking days!! spam spam spam spam! lol

I went iPhone s2, s3, nexus 4, oneplus, and now my 6 is preordered. I can't wait to get my hands on it. There are so many different rooms that always come out for the nexus devices. Now with the hardware the 6 has I can't wait for some amazing new roms to come out.

Good luck this Wednesday. I got my preorder last week.
Its the motorola nexus that we all thought would never happen. like Rossi going to ducati. I lust hope the phone works better then the ducati. Oh and there is the fact that my g3 is a lag beast. I pick up my wifes g2 and remember what a phone should run like sadly .
Screen size, fast charging, front facing speakers, lollipop and the fact that I have Jump and wouldn't get my monies worth if I don't use it.
Paranoid Android, the end.
Because Nexus, that's why
Cuz I can.
My reason is simple: screen size! Otherwise, I would keep the Z3
Official support and the dev community. And my Note 2 is dying.
I want one because I can't buy one...

sadly I am at work during the time they add stock(between 10 and 10:30) so i doubt i will get one tomorrow either.
After switching to the N5 from the iPhone 4, I liked the screen and eventually I realised I used it more than the tablet that I had and because of that a bigger phone would be the perfect one device for everything.

About Nexus 6 need your opinion

Tomorrow I'm going to buy a Nexus 6, the new unlocked with a 2 year warranty, EU version but I need your opinion worth whether to buy or wait for new models of Nexus, and if you can tell me, is it a good phone or buy other models as note 5 or S6 edge+, for now I use nexus 5 for two years and I'm very satisfied
Don't let anyone tell you to wait for the new nexus, because when that phone comes, then it will be wait for the next new one. Waiting is pointless, there's always gonna be something better shortly after.
As for the Samsungs, I hate them personally. The hardware is nice, the software is junk. Yes, even the newer touchwiz is crap. Nothing beats stock Android. NOTHING!
Staying with the nexus phones your on a safe path of constant fast updates first.
The Nexus 6 is one hell of a good phone and I guarantee that you won't notice any performance difference between this and the new nexus phones. Yipee higher scores on antutu maybe, but that's complete crap.
If you are interested in a large phone. Get that N6. Period.

Here where I live, the price for Nexus 6 is 500 euros, but a friend who bought a Nexus 6, month ago and has not opened it from the box
give me for amazing price just for 350 euros and with a warranty of two years, and white color like as on amazon now the price is 350 usd, but with tax and customs the price will be 490 usd
I,m going to buy tomorrow N6 and sold my nexus 5

Who's moving on to a nexus?

Just curious to see if anyone is making the jump now that the new nexus' have been released for pre-order. If so what was your main reason? Easy root? More development? Hardware? Software? And if not are you staying with Samsung after the lock down they put on there phones? I myself have owned several nexus phones before and they have always been great, my only issue is there is always some hardware spec I'm missing, usually the camera. Right now with this variation I feel the 5.7 inch screen is a little much for me and know ois for the camera on the nexus p and the nexus x is the right size but way to underwhelming as far as specs go.

I preordered my nexus 5x. I went from a nexus 5 to this and have regretted it ever since. My main reason is the openess..there's a huge battery problem that could be fixed without having to wait on Samsung if there wasn't a bootlock.
Yeah man after having several nexus devices I switched to the lg g3 then this and I miss the development possible with the nexus. I don't know if anyone from the att forums ever pops in on a nexus development thread but it's a virtual playground of new roms, kernels, and useful mods. Don't get me wrong I'm appreciative of anyone putting in work on the att variants, it's just nowhere near the support a nexus gets! If they would just come out with a soild camera and the premium specs the 6p has, I would've preordered also

I'm getting swayed myself. My notifications, device wake don't work unless with CM locker and then it's still not consistent. Then there are the gremlins here and there but there are some that really bothers me.
Plus I'm tired of my Nexus friends getting the new upgrades all the time.
I know how you feel, especially considering if I had a nexus right now I would have the marshmallow update already. Unfortunately I'm still stuck on 5.0.2 because I don't wanna lose root! By the time we see marshmallow it'll be on the SGS7! I sweat if tmobile gets it together with a consistent lte signal Im done done done with AT&T

Samsung makes very nice phones but i really want more flexibility. I have already ordered a Nexus 6P and i hope i am going to like it. I am only worried because it is bigger than my edge.
If its your first nexus you will love it, theres almost too much flexibility! Youll find yourself messing with everything lol. The only thing is you dont get the gimmicky stuff as much as you do with manufacturers like samsung and htc. Some people miss that. The size difference, thats another story and partially why I have held off until I can hold one and see in hand the difference. I had the LG G3 and that is about as big as I think I can comfortably go with a phone.
Last time i had a samsung was the note 2.. i hated that phone so much i traded it for a optimus g pro. loved that phone still have it today. i swore i wouldn't go back to samsung. then the s6 appeared. 64 bit cpu exynos was destroying the benchmarks. smaller more efficient cpu manufacturing, awesome screen, glass, metal. smaller more efficient battery and finally tw had less bloat.damn made me change my mind. i had to pre order....... i have hated this phone since month 3 of owning. i hate this samsung. cant wait to get rid of it. i gave my htc m8 for this crap. m8 never lagged like this pos and battery was better. and the phone seemed faster idk how or why. samsung made me hate samsung. so yeah im getting a nexus just can't decide which. waiting on the reviews. not making the same mistake of pre ordering
Yeah man I know, that's why I skipped the s5. I've owned the sgs2, Samsung galaxy nexus, Sgs3, and sgs4. I got in on the sgs4 while there was still a bootloader exploit, however once i saw they locked it down in a way where the later versions could only use safestrap I was like, no way will I ever come back to Sammy. Skipped the sgs5 and went with the LG G3 but was lured back by the specs on this phone!! Samsung always has the hardware I want in a phone, best cpu, great screen, good camera, couple cool little gimmicks to play with... but this allowing manufacturers to lock down bootloader and essentially kill the dev scene is really pissing me off. I have always bought my wife HTC phones when I upgrade because I can never decide between 2 phones, her m8 still running as smooth as day she got it, I didn't even unlock and rom it like I usually do. I just cannot find the perfect storm of cutting edge specs that I want and development to go with. Sucks!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk
The reasons I like Samsung phones is their hardware. Great camera, screens, better memory configurations, and lately the design of the phone. If all that was put into the nexus then it'd be an easy decision. Unfortunately the nexus lacks that. Idk what my next phone is going to be after this debacle.

Hows the nexus 6. Looking to buy one

So i smashed my Note 3 LCD. Have a new one on the way but gonna get rid of it.
Looking for something different. Hows the nexus 6? I have Verizon, i will be looking into an unlocked one of course.
I have done some looking into on this one. so. I am looking for 6" screen or larger. I used to have a mega, loved it.
just wondering on some of your guys personal insight, rooting and Custom roms.
Thanks Guys!!
Well, you are coming from Samsung, so you don't have an expectation of long-term support. The Nexus 6 is at the end of support.
The 6 is very nice, but rather dated. It will never get official support beyond 7.1.1. Camera isn't great. I plan to use mine for another year, as I don't like the Pixel 2 XL choices.
It all comes down to what price do you pay for it. $200, probably OK. $300 too expensive.
Well im looking to of course keep it under $200.00
and a 6" screen. I like em big.
The ZTE Max pro is big, but not CDMA compatible.
Just something for a couple years.
I did like My Mega, lasted me about 6 years, and 2 screens lol.
I just dont like the feel of it, the back. i know a case.
Nexus 6
I ran a Nexus 5 for a year and a half. I got a refurbished Nexus 6 on eBay for the same price I paid for a Nexus 5. $200, so far my Nexus 6 is a great device even though it is dated. For the specs and developer support that the Nexus 6 has it is well worth running. As all Nexus devices are carrier unlocked getting activation on a device is easy. Paying anymore than $200 on a phone is a waste of money due to the fact that hardware and software upgrade so rapidly. I would recommend the Nexus 6 to anyone that knows how to use it right.
It def a good solid device. And yes over 200.00 for any phone is a waste.

AT&T Nexus 6 devices are locked to AT&T. How many are floating around locked to the carrier is unknown; the Death Star logo was found to be easily removed.
It's a good thing the OP doesn't have Sprint. They are extremely reluctant to the point of xenophobia about adding non-Sprint devices, including the Nexus 6, to their network.
Nope with verizon.
So I decided on a lenovo phablet 2. Found one inline for 159.99
6.4 in screen. Friend has one at work . I was pretty impressed.
But my gfs daughter likes the nexus 6. So I will pick one up for her for xmas.

It was a great phablet once, but I will not lie, It is very dated. My shamu is nearing replacement time, and it's been my favorite phone/phablet I've ever had simply due to the custom ROM/kernel options and ease of rooting/unlocking the bootloader. It's just outright heavy and huge too. TL;DR: I wouldn't buy it now, but would not have second guessed in 2014.
I bought my n6 after cracking my note3 screen... i think it was about 2 years ago.. i still love this phone.. but thinking the next OnePlus 5T or whatever the iteration will be is what i will go after.. though the current oneplus 5 seems pretty nice.. just small screen.. the new pixel 2 xl is alright but $$$ and i fear that devs wont be swarming to it because of the price
