Only thing I don't like in Nexus 6 is the size and camera

It is what it is, 6 inch is never small and the camera is OK with sufficient light. Better look for the new 5X. its smaller and has a better camera.

Better relation between quality and price in Nexus 6. Atleast in Europe.

In answer to your question, personally, yes I think the Nexus 6 is still a good option. As a matter of fact, I just bought a Google Motorola Nexus 6 (2014) off Amazon.com last month (December 2015) for $250 + Tax and I love it. I know the camera isn't the best, there's NO fingerprint scanner, and its only 32-bit instead of 64-bit like the Nexus 5x, but for me, the overall performance, the QHD screen, front facing speakers, VoLTE (especially for T-Mobile), stock android with timely android updates and more makes for a really cool phablet. And I mean phablet, this phone is big, but not as big as my previous daily driver the Huawei Ascend Mate 2. Hope my answer helps.

Do keep in mind, my Nexus 6 is rooted running stock rom and I use greenify, so my battery life is good for me, I have the notification LED (have to root and buy an app to get), I use Nova Launcher with double tap to sleep through an app. It's all in what you want in a smartphone and more so, what you don't want. To me, this time around on buying a new smartphone, it was simple, it had to be a Nexus. With my budget, it came down to the Nexus 6 vs Nexus 5x. I feel like I made a good choice especially for the money, but I haven't used the camera while sightseeing yet. It should be fine.

I just bought my Nexus 6 about 3 months ago. It was my first Nexus device, but even after this short anount of time I can say pretty firmly that I will never buy another phone that isn't a Nexus! Stock battery life on Marshmallow has been great compared to the Note 4 that I had before this. In addition, stock, unbloated Android is truly a work of art that you should experience at least one. Also, it is a big phone but you will definitely get used to the size after a few days. I'm not sure if Swappa is available in your country, but I got my Nexus 6 off of Swappa for $220 a few months ago. Worth every penny IMO and renewed my love of Android.

I love stock Android also. Have a S3 and that's all what I want. A stock Android. What is really stopping me from buying a Nexus 6 is the size . If fit in my pockets that will not be a problem. I have a 4,8' phone and I really wanted a big phone!

My 200$ N6 may be.
Only defects are poor grade AMOLED display(not a expression. it's a cheap module.) and finishing.

Screen not fitted properly?

Hi guys,
Looking at my phone closely I see that the left side is close together with the chassis but on the right side there is more separation and not close together. What I mean is the black surrounding the screen.
Is this normal?

Mine is like that as well. I remember reading a while back that quite a few people have experienced this where one side has a reasonable gap. You could try getting it swapped?

I've contacted Sony, let's see what they say.
Enviado desde mi C6603 usando Tapatalk 2
Just realised mine is like this too, only a tiny bit on the top right corner. I wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't see this thread, but doesnt bother me too much - or would it cause probelms etc? Bit annoying that Sony always seem to have something wrong with 50% of their phones & then the other 50% is fine =/
Anyone else?

What? I never mentioned anything about the glass??& I can clearly see the shatterproof protector is nowehere connected to the edge
Ive contacted them, they told me to go to the shop. Will let you guys know!
Anyone else???
Out of curiosity, what manufacturer is your screen? Refer to this thread for how to check. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182432&highlight=screen+manufacturer
Mine is from Sharp and appears to be 100% perfectly symetrical
I'm getting my mobile replaced. The guy on the shop never seen a z like this.
I'm not root and I don't feel like doing experiments, I'm going to send the phone next week.

The top right part on mine seemed to be like this, but after a closer inspection it seems only the shatterproof film is not fitted edge to edge. The glass panel itself seems to be ok.
The gaps on all sides of my phone look equal in width.

You don't need to root to see what display you have. Go to page 21 in the thread listed above. There's an app a guy has made you can download that shows you.

If you read the title, I'm sure this is different. This isn't the one out yet as this is their slim edition. Not the one that makes your phone look like a brick.

what MM rom to pick? battery life and stability

I'm still on LP but want to move to MM
With me going on a 3 week trip without my laptop getting a stable rom is critical.
Looking into the best mm rom + kernel for stability and battery life.
Any suggestions?
P.S.
If any xda members are in chicago detroit toronto ill be traveling there soon
Stock is always good! Personally, I am on the MID MM ROM rooted with Skyhigh v2.7 kernel and xposed for greenify etc. Very stable indeed (no funny business at all). And great battery life

Phone upgrade?

Anyone thought about upgrading yet from their moto x? Mainly due to battery life and camera I'm looking at options. Galaxy s7 and Nexus 6p look good , is the Nexus 6p enough of an upgrade?

Nexus 6P yeah. But you really should wait the Nexus 6 2016 by HTC !! A Nexus phone with Snapdragon S820

I hope this Nexus will be beautiful, we already know his performances will ANNIHILATE all other phones !
Hi. Beside de nexus, what other options you recommend? What about a Moto x play? The x style I don't think so because its size.
Enviado desde mi XT1095 mediante Tapatalk
I think lenovo has ruined Motorola their devices after ours will have poor updates and aren't as well rounded .....saying that I'm holding out another year, this device still runs great it's snappy and can do anything I throw at it , plus running the stock+ rom I've installed many Android N features through xposed so I'm not missing out
