Google Nexus 6/X

[welshname]

This leaked pic? Which?

 

[Keydogg]

Don't really know what to expect with this! I hope it's not 5.9", I think 5.5 is my limit 😧.

This is the leaked pic:

 

[welshname]

Just a mildly rendered moto x image?

 

[Amos91]

I've got my fingers crossed for 5.9". Sorry guys lol.
Look forward to the announcement...

 

[guysy]

Anyone have an idea on time for the revealing ?

 

[welshname]

Nope. I can tell it'll be an expensive night for me.

 

[Keydogg]

Anyone have an idea on time for the revealing ?

I think last year it was 6pm our time? I seem to remember ordering within the hour and I've just found my confirmation email from Google which was at 6:39pm.

 

[guysy]

Sounds good thanks, will keep an eye out, hoping there's two sizes, doubt it though?

 

[welshname]

Yeah 6pm our time would be 10am over there so makes sense.

 

[Addicted]

Nexus 10 removed from the US Google Play store, so presumably making way for a new tablet too.

 

[welshname]

Yeah nexus 9 was the main rumour. 6/X is just another one they might do.

 

[Keydogg]

That all happened quickly!

Well that's huge...Now I need to think this through

Same! Defo need to feel something of that size.

I'll see how much I can get for my 5, then make the decision to buy a 6 or not.

 

[welshname]

I have a 4. If I'd have got a 5 then I'd be happy to skip a generation. But I've not and I'm not going to buy old tech.

FML this will be tough. I was having a play with a 6 + today and it's really big. This is slightly thicker, slightly taller AND slightly wider. Not to mention also slightly heavier. I'm also REALLY not fond of the blue/white colour choices.

 

[guysy]

Pissed off, hate the look of it too, looks like its an iPhone 6.

 

[welshname]

Kind of tempted to move away from the Nexus range and get a Moto X. Basically the same phone just not a f**king stupid size.

 

[Keydogg]

I need a price! I can't decide without knowing the cost of the thing.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Just read £407 for the 16GB phone, and £250 for the 32GB tablet.

Too me the phone seems expensive going on past models?

Will 100% be replacing my iPad 3 with the Nexus 9 though

 

[welshname]

Around £400 I worked out from the "leaked price". And that's slightly over £400 not lower.

After a proper look its not so bad, the blue isn't even that offensive. Just the size I need to come to terms with now.

I agree. But it was well known that they were going to be increasing the price this time around which is why the spec is top notch.

I'm hoping that like the Moto X the rear of the case is removable, even though it ruins the feel of the device at least it would mean I could get a replacement back and have it in black for example.

Is there a single person in here who is thinking "yes I want that phone"? Everyone I know is a bit gutted about it and not sure what to do!

Not me I just can't get my head(hands) around the size of it. My 5 is borderline too big for my girly hands as it is

A shame really cos I love the Nexus brand. I'll have to have a play with one in a shop then make my decision

Yep. I think it will upset a lot of Android fans. I'm already looking around for something else to tickle my fancy. But it has to be GPE. Moto X is pretty close to GPE, promises to release 5.0 when it's out, is a normal size (well, 5.2") comes in lots of colour choices, etc etc etc.

If Motorola released a GPE of the Moto X they would mop up so many sales that Google have just lost with this ridiculous size phone.

 

[Keydogg]

I have 4 friends with nexus 5, plus myself, who were looking forward to this. Three out of us 5 ordered on announcement day last year.

All of us have said we're not getting a 6 as it's a) too big and, b) too expensive ($250 more than the Nexus 9, which will be about £320ish going by recent years).

Google you have failed us :-( (looks an awesome phone mind, proper flagship, just with a proper price)

To be honest, we all knew the nexus line would eventually reach the same price ranges as other flagship phones, I just didn't think it'd be such a leap, so soon.

 

[Gally]

Not surprised to people looking at the Moto X. Pretty cool phone. The 6 is a monster and just not pretty enough for me.

 

[MatthewR]

I've just got a HTC one m8 so not particually bothered about the disappointment of the 6. If they did a 5.2 I probably would have swapped the one for it. Such a shame about the size, price and shape.

Exactly. The 5.2" version of the 6 is the Moto X. I'll be having a long think about it this weekend and ordering one up I think.

Let us know what you do mate. What kind of OS does the X run? Near stock?

Basically stock but with a few extra apps/features that make sense. None of which change the look or feel of the os.

 

[BatFastard]

I love the look of the 6 and I am regretting buying an iPhone 6. Now to try and sell the damn thing so I can get one 😂

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Well after holding a 5.7" screened phone earlier on, I'm 99% certain I'll be giving the nexus 6 a miss

I'll stick with my 5 and treat myself to the nexus 9 instead, and wait see what other phones appear in the future.

Good call. I'm stuck between OnePus One and Moto X currently.

 

[Danny133]

If anyone wants a cheap 5 I have one that's basically new, pristine!

 

[welshname]

Spent a few days looking at this and I actually rather like the look of it now. I just need to see if I can get used to a 6" phone. I'm not sure I can. I'll not be pre-ordering so I'll wait until a local store has one in to play with.

 

[Gally]

6" screen not phone remember. All about the chin and bezels.

 

[JJ!]

My 5 is broke. Was going to get a 6 but its too big so want another 5!

 

[MarkCup]

I have a spare 5 with a shattered screen if it's of any interest?

Screens are very easy to change on these..
