[Trouble]

Quit freaking out everyone. It's going to be a 5.2" screen.

Quoting for new page.

 

[Subtle]

Anything about it being water proof?

 

[northead]

This is the Motorola Nexus 6

You're welcome.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Too big.

My GS5 is basically perfect at 5.1", and I would on some days even be ok if it shrunk down to 5"

I will not buy a phone bigger than 5", ever.

 

[Divvy]

Goddammit Google

 

[Crazyorloco]

Get bent. 5.9 is too much for me.

 

[Slayer-33]

Get bent. 5.9 is too much for me.

Hahaha

 

[wario]

booooo =/

 

[BloodMoney]

too big, my Nexus 5 is as big as I'm going. I hope there is a "compact" version of the X

 

[northead]

I would say that a smaller Nexus is definitely not coming. They'll leave the Nexus 5 on sale, maybe.

The smaller Nexus this year really is the Moto X. Just wait for L to drop and that will... reach its final form, too.

 

[mturco]

Well now what? What's everyone's backup plan? Z3C? I don't know if I can handle the 720p...

You're failing to realize your S5 has a giant screen AND physical buttons. 5.3" isn't so bad when the buttons are on screen.

Time to become a luddite

 

[Ken Masters]

5.9" would hav been hilarious to see though, I'm loving my 6 plus at 5.5" so maybe a 5.9" could work

 

[Junior Mint]

Haha. If Nexus phones were already doing horrific sales numbers, just way til they release this stupid ass thing.

 

[kmfdmpig]

I'm interested. I have been a Note 2 user for 20 months and love the large screen. I want larger on my next phone, so it's either Note 4 (expensive for me as I don't really use the pen much) or this.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Don't forget that the bezel above and below the screen on the iphone will likely be bigger than on the Nexus 6 so it might not be that much bigger overall than the 6+.

 

[MercuryLS]

I feel like this is divine retribution for all the big phone lovers wanting bigger and bigger phones. It's funny to see people that love phablets pushing back against this.

 

[manueldelalas]

So that's basically putting my kindle in my ear, not sure if convinced...

 

[TTOOLL]

I'm out. The resolution and the size are not for me.

 

[soundahfekz]

5.9? google is trippin

 

[DrFunk]

My guess is that they want something big to show off android L on

 

[Trouble]

I'm starting to wonder if Nexus 6 and Nexus X are two different phones. One 5.2 and one 6.

Why would the only shamu benchmarks in the wild show 5.2?

 

[qizah]

This is the Motorola Nexus 6

You're welcome.

Z3 Compact is far more enticing right now.

I still hope that this ends up being completely wrong. Max I'd go is 5.2" display, a 6" display is just too big.

My Nexus 5 is the ideal size IMO.

 

[-COOLIO-]

i still don't believe it.

 

[Halcyon]

I think it looks pretty nice and it had me interested because I kinda want a phablet.

 

[Trouble]

i still don't believe it.

I don't want to.

 

[Rodney McKay]

On one hand, a 5.9in screen on a phone just seems silly (unless there's like NO bezel what-so-ever)...

But on the other hand if it's basically a Moto X with a better battery, I'd be pretty interested! (assuming the bigger screen doesn't suck down that extra battery life).

Really need to wait an see the official details for this thing.

 

[Killing_Joke]

I really want to see this beast. I can barely handle the M8 5inch. 5.9 sounds hilarious.

 

[Reckless Onion]

 

[outsidah]

I am surprised if it turns out to be a 5.9" display. That's going to push a lot of people out I'd imagine.

 

[DrSlek]

Not liking the idea of such a large phone. 5 inches is perfect for me.

Any word on the memory?

 

[gutter_trash]

fuck all phones that don't fit in my pocket

 

[Vibranium]

I'll wait for a smaller Nexus phone, I'm already very happy with my N5 anyways.

 

[Chezzymann]

I guess we can't make fun of brick phones from the 80's anymore

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Welp, time to take a break from Android. I'm legit pissed that these screen size pissing contest continues to happen in this industry. I really sincerely hope that they at least, have two different form factors because I refuse to buy a fucking tablet.

 

[Bullza2o]

If it's only 5.9" then that solidifies the iPhone 6 Plus as my next phone. 5.5" is my absolute max, and I was only willing to buy the iPhone at that size due to the OIS and battery. Anything bigger is too much.

 

[DarkFlow]

I don't think can use the Nexus 6 name. I think the Philip K. Dick estate won't let them use the exact name.

Well that's just silly. The plus is bigger then the note 3, and that has a extra .2 of screen size. Why don't you try it first before you make a decision.

 

[jey_16]

Probably be close to the same size as the 6+ considering the large bezels on the iphone

I have the 6+. It's huge because of the bezel (but I can still one hand it and my hands are not oversized).

There is a good chance the Nexus could still be smaller than the iPhone because of the differences in the bezel. Larger screened notes are smaller than the iPhone 6 plus.

 

[Vic]

Need to see it in person...

 

[BlueMagic]

My thoughts exactly. The original Moto X seemed to be setting the path for greatness but the size war and whatnot seems to have won by now.

 

[todd360]

Will nexus 5 get a decent price cut? I think I might consider that over this huge phone.

 

[malyce]

3200+mah battery. YES! One more month till I get rid of this nexus 4.

 

[Cse]

It quickly appears as if 1440p screens are becoming the new standard.

LG G3, Droid Turbo, Nexus 6...

 

[outunderthestars]

Quit freaking out everyone. It's going to be a 5.2" screen.

ooooops.

 

[DarkFlow]

ooooops.

He might be right, who knows.

 

[Kanyon]

This is the Motorola Nexus 6

You're welcome.

Thank the makers they went with the black speaker grilles. The clash of colours was the only thing I didn't like about the 2014 Moto X.

Still undecided about that 5.9" screen if rumours are to be believed. I've been rocking a Sony Xperia T2 Ultra that has a 6" screen, I think it might be time to downsize my screen just a bit.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

5.9 inches? RIP nexus, our last bastion. Hopefully lots of people buy the Z3 compact. IT IS ALL YOUR DUTIES.

 

[Trouble]

ooooops.

I've yet to see more convincing evidence of a 5.9" screen, but I'm not impartial.
