That's unfortunately a pretty specific question when we don't even know if/when we'll be able to order

Mmmmmm dat white balance is great on the Nexus 6.
Is it just me, or does the iPhone seem too warm?

Thanks dude. The youtube video in the first link looks suspect. The colors look good, the passes my expectations of what a nexus camera can do.
That was the second thing I noticed. The nexus color seems more natural than the iphone 6+. The new sony senor is going along way with the nexus 6.

How would anyone know
So I'm reading up on the nexus 6 more and notice the following line, in this preview:
Anyone know what they're talking about, and more importantly, have an example? I owned a Motorola Photon a few years ago for a little bit, and it had a pentile display that lead to some really ugly edges on graphics on websites. I noticed it first on the mobile GAF site and couldn't stand it so much I got rid of the phone. I honestly thought something was wrong with the phone at first.
I'm just wondering if this is the same thing or not. I guess the only way for me to really find out is to go to a carrier store and test it out when they get in.

Isn't the consensus that when it comes to AMOLED that Samsung will always get the latest and greatest (cause they make them) and every other OEM gets second graded displays?
I don't know why that's the consensus. It might be speculation but that's all that is.
We don't know that for sure
If 5 were getting a hardware revision it probably would have happened already. It's still a pretty good buy and Lollipop apparently addresses it's two biggest weaknesses: battery life and camera. So if I were you I'd get it.

it would be extremely surprising if the 5 got refreshed
I stand corrected. I guess that makes sense considering T-Mobile has been saying that they will be selling it on the 12th.
I really want a white one but if Google doesn't make that possible before the 12th I may just order a 64gb blue from T-Mobile.

Why even take orders when they don't have enough phones to let that pre-order page running for at least 30 minutes?
That's just stupid.
That's just stupid.
Sell out hype.
What about the 9 reviews?

I don't think you are going to have a hard time getting one from a carrier. This isn't a Samsung or Apple phone.
I don't think so either.
I just really want the white one but Google and T-Mobile are going to make difficult
Then why not so like Apple does and still allow preorders but show a later date?
I think Google just has way less experience than Apple in shipping hardware products.

Nexus 6 looks better to me and I'm sporting an iPhone 6 and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
No it didn't. The iPhone was noticeably too warm with poor white balance.

It's suppose to be launching on T-Mobile November 12.
So just to be clear, you're saying the one on the right looks better than the one on the left?

I actually thought it was a mixed bag. In some of the video the N6 clearly looked better, ditto photo's. In others the iPhone 6 looked better. Hopefully what this shows is that a) Google have taken camera performance seriously in this latest Nexus and b) there's not much in it between these high end phones.

I don't think so. If you try online, you'll have to check out with a plan. I'm not sure with in-store purchases. I don't think they'll let you buy it without a plan unless you're already a customer.

Fucking lol you have to be kidding me. The white balance is way off on the iPhone.\
It looks like they have a default "next gen videogame filter"
None that I know of other than warranty. As for bloatware here's what comes on the nexus 5 http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-12151#preinstalled_apps.
Your best bet as far as the plan goes is to go into a store and ask them. They might just let you buy it and set it up there.
"In an extensive interview with three Google executives, Ars Technica has learned that Android 5.0 contains a handy Play Auto Installs feature that handles carrier bloatware and yes, users will be able to remove bloatware from their devices just as easily as carriers are able to install it during handset setup."

The only issue is whether or not carriers actually take advantage of that. We won't know until it's released whether google has required them
verizon
That's not a mandate yet.

The photos are still pretty warm on iPhone 6 vs 5 videos.

Agreed. Seems strange.

Forbes has confirmed that Google has embargoed Nexus 6 reviews until November 12th. Disappointing as I was hoping to see some this week.
I imagine the Verge might have a first review exclusive, though. So maybe they will go first on Friday.
