[Q] Nexus6 Info

Hello,
I have seen that there is no difference between the 32GB and the 64GB model of Nexus6, except the internal memory. For 64GB model, the price is around $80 more (5000 INRs more). So which one would you recommend ? How much actual storage memory I will get for 32 GB ?
I have read the spec in the Google page for Nexus6, But I didn't see the info about RAM there. So How much RAM with the Nexus6 ?
Thanks.

3GB

okay, that's good. But what about the performance of the phone ? Some review in youtube says that the performance is not as good as the other phones in the market of the same price range (they mention Samsung Note4). Is that true ?
Thanks.

Benchmark scores maybe but real world usage, it would be unfair to say the nexus 6 was slower than the note 4. Many people who used both would disagree too.

I came to nexus 6 from note4, I was disappointed with the note tbh and iv had them all the only letdown on nexus is the expanded memory or should I say lack of it.

okay, maybe it is a wrong comment in the youtube video. How is the battery backup ? Is 3220 mAh gives more backup ?
Thanks.

THanks for the URL. One general question though.
Is Nexus6 the last phone in the Nexus series? I got this doubt as Nexus7, Nexus8 & Nexus9 are tablets.

But when ? I think it is by October 2015. There are rumours that Huawei is making Nexus 2015. But I think Motorola is better. What do you say ?

Will you be upgrading to the Note 5 from the note 4?

If this is true, I see myself passing.

Personally I don't need a larger battery or a glass back. I do need my removable batter and micro SD slot.
Samsung is just trying to pad it's bottom line now. They're not selling like they used to do to with their premium prices. Now they're trying to make it up by changing premium prices for memory. Too bad Samsung screwed itself when they went after their own American team when they had that ultra successful marketing campaign.

You're not supposed to post things multiple times.
Interesting article, though.

This right here from OP "quoted" article:
...mean no more expandable storage or removable battery.

I really want it to have sd support. If not, Idk. If it doesn't, then I'm lost. I don't like any other phones. I only like the Note series. **** you Samsung.

Lol :laugh: I don't think any of us are *****ing about the "stylus". In fact we expect and want that feature to stay.
The part that is ruining it for many of us (at least myself), is the part where they are leaning towards a permanent battery and NO microSD. :cyclops:

Will you upgrade your Note 4 to a Note 8? What? There's not a Note 8? Well there's no Note 5 either...

Exactly. I chose the note 4 edge over the s6 with those specific features in mind. I've been buying Samsung for a few generations now, but if the Note 5 is anything like the one in the article, I'll have to look at the next LG G-series.

Not unless they give me an SD card slot. I will definitely be going else where. Maybe lg. I kinda miss my g3.

I feel like this accessory can alleviate many storage hungry users, myself included. Rumors that they could be getting rid of the removable battery is a huge downside for me as I've purchased Samsung's OEM battery charger for the past two generations of the Note line. It's just way too nice to go from 0% to 100% instantly.

I would love to carry that around with me at all time. Problem solved. I'm sold.

I'm honestly done with Samsung. I upgraded to a Galaxy Note 4 from a Nexus 5, and I miss my Nexus 5. The stock rom on the Note 4 is crap, and the only AOSP I've tried (CM12.1) is missing features that stock Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 Android has (namely, HD Voice, WiFi calling, and call recording.)
The worst part of all is that I'm stuck with a faulty USB port that doesn't charge reliably, and Samsung refuses to fix it because I rooted my phone. Meanwhile, Google doesn't care if you root your phone.
**** Samsung, never buying another Samsung phone again.

As much as the stylus is somewhat useful to me... I can do without it. SD card and removable battery=no deal. I'll grab the G4 or Gwhatever is next. Screw this bullsh!t...

I have that meenova and it works great i love it

If it didn't have the glass back, I would upgrade.
It looks like either wait for the Note 6, or get an iPhone 6+. Yes, yes, I know. But I've used a few of them and they are really nice phones. But if the Note 5 is what the article says, then no - I will not upgrade to it.
Glass back. Stupid.

Ummm....actually...this is kind of awkward...but yeah, there is a Note 8. Its a downgrade though.
.........................
Nope, not carrying around attachments with me to access storage. Its a money grab from Samsung now. MSD cards are now coming out in 200gb and 512gb sizes. Before we know it 128gb cards will be hitting $40 (they're already as low as $80). You mean to tell me you would rather pay more for a set amount of storage determined by a manufacture and streaming cloud services? Wake up!
S6 sales aren't panning out as expected and Samsung has been miss firing since the S5 flopped and with the S6 series they keep on flooding the market with variation after variation. At some point Samsung will have to self-center and get back to what made them a hit in the first place.

I have a LG G4 and I want to buy new smartphone ... But used one for now.

Hey guys.. recently I sold my Oneplus Two after using it for 1 year and bought new LG G4. But I bought it thinking I can enjoy entirely new things. But unfortunately I lost my enthusiasm. I didn't love the phone for many reason. 1. Battery life is very low. 2. No unlock bootloader. 3. No root for Marshmallow. 4. Phone heats up very quick. And many cons too. Now I'm planning to downgrade to phone with good specs and not too high end. So I thought of choosing Nexus 6. What do you guys think ? Is it a right choice to buy used one with 203 dollar ? ...

I came from G4 to a Note 5 then to a Nexus 6. And would much rather have the Nexus 6 than either of those. I think you will be satisfied.

Sent from my LG-H818 using Tapatalk

Just this month I had an option to upgrade to a new phone. I chose buying a used Nexus 6 instead. I could not be happier. It has what I always try and make phones, stock android. There is still tons of developing going on. I don't even care that it is an older phone. I had the LG G3.

We can't answer that. Only you can. Nexus like you said yourself is considered old, however many of us would not consider the phones out now a considerable upgrade.

You need to ask yourself whether 32GB is going to be enough storage for your needs. The Nexus phones don't have expandable storage.

sure it does.. just not via sdcard.

I don't know about you, but in the OP's situation I wouldn't want to have to play around with a dongle sitting in my USB port simply to increase my storage space. Using a USB OTG device is inconvenient except in certain use cases, such as at home backing up a device with TWRP. USB OTG may be expandable storage, but it's simply not optimal. Thus the OP still needs to ask himself whether 32GB is enough.
I don't think 32GB is enough, not without being ruthless in your space management. I know you'll probably disagree, but I'm willing to lay odds that as an owner of a 32GB model you're pretty ruthless in your space management. Owners of 64GB devices have the luxury of not having to be so ruthless, and I really think it adds to the enjoyment of the device.

I don't use otg, but it is an option in expandable storage.. you said there aren't any options. I have a 32gb n6. I bought it in nov, 2014. anyways, 32gb is more than enough for me. and I mod my device, nearly daily. and have 2 3.5gb+ nandroid back ups in my storage. before n6, I always had 16gb. now 32gb is spacious for me. also, I'm an amateur photographer that only uses the n6 for photography. what I don't do is keep music on my device, that's what seems to save me. I use google play music services, and I always have that to use. when I take a subway home from work, I'll download several albums to listen to, beforehand. BTW, on tmobile, unlimited high speed data, in NYC

I forgot about USB OTG as an option. I stand corrected on that.
Like I said, you're ruthless in your space management, where I don't have to be. That however doesn't mean I'm not. If I were to put my stuff on your device, it would all fit with about a gigabyte left. Having used devices with far less storage, space management became an art form with me. But on this device, not worrying about how much space I'm using is liberating, and it's that liberating feeling that makes using this device more enjoyable.

ruthless, I'd never say that in this case. over time, I do end up deleting a lot though.

Had the G4 last year. Decided to sell it after a few months due to the subpar battery life. I do miss the camera and brighter screen, however, I prefer the N6 for the bigger screen, much better battery life, wireless charging and Project Fi. $200 for a used N6 is still a good price.

Of course you could shunt what you delete to cloud storage. But the fact you have to pick and choose what to keep on your phone only proves correct what some sites, for example Android Authority, are saying now about devices with 32GB storage: it's really too small these days, so the OP really needs to think this through. Currently Swappa has 64GB models for a low of $280. $200 is an excellent deal for a 32GB device, depending on condition. But is the price worth the potential inconvenience the smaller amount of storage may impose?

How fast is the 512gb version vs 128gb

Hey guys quick question. Can you post some benchmarks of the 512gb version and the 128gb version? I curious if there is any performance gain with the 2 extra go of memory. There isn’t anything like that on YouTube. I appreciate it.

Both phones will be fast as hell. The extra 2 gig ram means that you can essentially have more apps open at the same time and I have noticed a slightly zippier performance compared to my 6gb s9 plus

Thanks for replying Mikey. Both of those phones the S9+ and Note 9 have the same cpu, correct?

Correct. You would hard tell the difference. The s9 can be found as an A Grade refurb online for less than £500 here in the UK if you hunt about. That's over half the price of the N9 for essentially the same real world performance...

That was one of Zeedomax's arguments from his YouTube channel High on Android. He was basically saying the SD845 has been out since the S9 introduction and technically Samsung shouldn't be selling the note9 as much as it is, since the chips are now 6 plus months old and cheaper to buy.

Well there's no s-pen, which is why you buy a Note, so... Not the same performance to me. I get what you're trying to say, but I cannot comprehend why anyone would go for the Note9 without wanting a stylus.

It's $159 over S9+ for: double storage, larger battery, stylus with Bluetooth, a screen capable of understanding 4096 pressure sensitivity levels, and a slightly better, brighter screen at that. How is that $159 jump not justified? I don't get it. That's a ton of extra stuff. Just because people don't use the stylus and special screen, doesn't mean they aren't costs. And larger battery and double storage alone is "worth that" for many.

yes even the 6GB Note 9 version is faster than the 6GB S9 plus version.

Picking up my 128 today from Best Buy. Seems like almost everyone is buying the 512 even if it’s not needed. I don’t really think there’s a huge difference between 6 or 8gb of ram for daily usage.

Essentially no there is not a major real world difference. However there are probably power users on here where the extra ram and the 512 would be useful

One word Merica. The place where bigger numbers equals more sales. Example Mercedes Benz, 500sel , yet here it was one labeled a 550 sel or something . Perception of the market.

Bought an xtrons...Have I made a mistake?

Hi guys,
I've bought a used xtrons 10.1" TS109L head-unit with Android 6.0 which is on it's way to me. I've just now found out that xda forums have their own section for android stereos which I wasn't aware about and I'm regretting not asking your advice earlier.
I'd be grateful if someone can pls help me with some questions:
1. Is this stereo any good?
2. Can it be hacked/rooted or upgraded for newer/better features?
3. What stereo would you have recommended which was on par in terms of price (£200) and why?
4. Can I use android auto on this make/model?

Can anyone help at all?

Thanks for your reply @marchnz - Unfortunately, I couldn't find any info about this unit in particular. I picked it up pretty cheap (I think) for £130 (almost new).
All I mainly wanted to know was if this unit is any good (any known issues), can it be hacked/rooted? If you're saying it's not very good, what can you recommend on par to it's price?
Thanks for your help.

hi, i had one a few years ago and they are limited if its the 2gb version and quadcore...i upgraded to 4gb octacore i've had in a few cars and the difference is night and day...yes you can upgrade android 6 to android 8 but you'll still be limited to the ram and processor... personally i'd look to return it if you can and pay the extra £100 for the 4gb octacore version...it's well worth the money....
2gb quadcore i had used to struggle with both maps and music apks at the same time...
best of luck to you whatever you decide though...

Thanks for the advice Ga73. I guess your definitely right. I'm going to have to return it once I receive it. But I'm not a tight budget, so what can you recommend that's hackable/upgradable, has lots of xda forum support and is around £160-£180ish? Bear in mind that I'll need to most likely pay for car fascia, cage and any iso adapters too, so it'll push the price up considerably.

Just to add, someone is offering me a joying 9" double din headunit for £150 used.....it's this model: JY-UO139N4

Sorry, BUMP!
