The logical conclusion to using a phablet? Use a dumbphone for calls and texts.

Phone too big? Get a smaller phone to function as a phone because your large one can't! Logic.

no capacitive stylus? why bother? smh...
Not everyone is as passionate an artist as you Faceless...
Yo dawg, I heard you like phones...
5.9 is to big. They have officially lost the plot. 5.2 with slim bezels is fine. MAYBE 5.5 but thats extremely pushing the limits. 5.9 is to fucking large for a phone. And it really sucks that THE phone I wanted to buy is the sole fucking dumbass one going with 5.9" like a goddamn retard.
They always fuck at least one thing up with the Nexus phones. Always 1.

You might like a big phone but that's getting a bit too excited over it
There is nothing called getting too excited
Why do you want that though
Because it's the smoothest, most stable version of Android on the planet. I don't feel like waiting weeks or months for some dude to finally get a somewhat stable build out, meanwhile every nightly could potentially brick my device. I used to do that stuff. I'm done with that. All I was doing was trying to emulate the stock experience anyway. I still use a custom kernel and install new modems when they leak. Plus Xposed modules basically add every CM feature I want. Gravity Box alone achieves that lol.
You do realise that the camera and battery life are wholly dependant on the software and Sony has probably worked some magic to get that battery life right?
Going gpe would take that away and the 2600mah battery probably won't be so special anymore.
It's not as bad as you put it, and the core experience that unskinned Android offers is supperior to anything else. Gotta give it to Sony though, for how little they skin Android, and when they do, they do it without compromising the performance, unlike some other manufacturers *cough* Samsung *cough*

Nexus gonna Nexus.
also, 3200mah on stock android and 5.9" probably wont be enough.
Didn't someone make a tablet that had a smaller detachable phone in it?
I think it was Asus yeah. The Padphone.

I love how HTC is announcing their new 805 handset the day before Sony is gonna show off their 801 stuff. Plus Samsung already showed off their 805 Note. Then we get the 805 Moto Nexus a week later. At least Z3C has dat battery life doe.

That's just a shame. One of the problems with the first Moto X was the camera. Why didn't they focus more on the camera? And people said it was decent. There really isn't any excuse to why a flagship phone is being released with a low-midrange camera.

It's probably not as bad as those samples, but seriously it's Motorola. What did anyone expect?
Absolutely.
The 2014 X's camera and battery were designed for Android L. They just had to get it out around now before too many people bought iPhones.
In the teardown you can see "Designed for L" sticker on the camera module, kinda like how Windows computers have those stickers on the tower.

Should've did the sticker for "designed for M". Dat future proof.

Damnit HTC.
the yellowing is a white balance issue, not hardware. The iphone pics have a lot more details in the shadows, however (and low light performance is obviously much better). Some of this could be hardware, but i think it's premature to make much of a judgement until the RAW support comes with L.

what makes this different from the dozens of other Android apps that have offline maps?
curry goat i hope.
Eh no. CM is a bug fest. Vanilla is like the iOS of ROMs: simple, smooth, fast.
You're in luck, Sony is experimenting with Vanilla Android on their flagships currently.
Fixed for you
