Don't temp meI also want the white. But that wireless charging of the 5-2, it's a game changer as I've had wireless charging for awhile with Lumia phones.
Doesn't the 6 have wireless charging?
Depends.
What matter more to you? Average quality QHD OLED and great community support or Great Camera and Moto Software?
Otherwise it's a wash.
Sure does. Quick charging too.
Trust me, I would rather not buy it direct from Verizon. I should have said that I hope it will work on Verizon.

man up.
Except for updates and the snapdragon 810, this is the dream phone that we asked for
The updates and risky chip are a huge factor though, so except for it being a gamble you mean... ^^
they are, which is why this isn't the dream phone
.This is a phone that "Huawei, the new Samsung" (sorry for giving this awful site clicks) could make next year easily with an SD 820.
edit: the comments in this article delivers again, LOL. Apparently the HTC M7 had no influence on any other phone that came after it guys. It's just everyone copying the iPhone.
Very high. Best Buy is bleeding customers and will bend over backwards for you.

Just tell them that it randomly shuts off and reboots. Then ask to exchange it. They aren't going to care.
Da hell. I've been trying to get this answered for like 4 weeks. Damn.
Is it easy to get root access? Im returning this Moto X 2nd gen because it seems difficult to get root access.
I had a Nexus 6 for months, and even though it is a great phone, I would go for the Pure instead, as it should give you a better experience right out of the box. For example, the screen is garbage if you don't plan on rooting it and try to calibrate it a bit yourself. And that is a deal breaker to me, these days.

There's even a cheaper version with a Snapdragon 615, 2GB RAM and 13MP camera for 349 Euro.

i'm just worried about restocking fees

So has pretty much every Android wear OEM released a round watch without a flat tire now? Smh @ Moto.
It seems like SD810 could burn you and give you cancer and the rest of them definitely won't.
Wait, what's wrong with the N6 screen?
I've had it for about 6 months as well, and I'm not seeing the problem.
Only issue I had is coming from a Note 3, the Note 3 got much brighter, but that's not always a good thing.
The Pure having a LCD display vs. N6's AMOLED, I'd have to give the screen quality to the Nexus. Plus 6" vs 5.7" if you're into that sort of thing.
The N6 is a beauty for media consumption.

That's one way to deal with the SD810. I'm actually a little disappointed that the heatpipes aren't connected with the metal frame. That would be really cool during the winter.
You may get better contrast with the AMOLED, but the display on the Nexus 6 is really bad. It has rainbow effect if you look at it from the side, brightness is terrible, and it has a piss filter over it. Well, it's not actually a filter, it's just how badly calibrated it is. You can get it fixed a bit if you install a custom kernel in it and mess around with some sliders, but it's not ideal for out of the box use. And I'm used to using calibrated displays, and the oversaturation and warm colors of the Nexus 6 aren't good at all. From what I read, Sammy has the best AMOLED displays on the market, so if I ever buy a phone with that kind of display it's going to be definitely theirs until someone figures how to get it as good.
So yeah, I don't really care if a display tech is better than other, 'cause if they don't use it properly then in the end it doesn't really matter. It's like having a ultra mp sensor on the camera and then the camera being just garbage. From what I saw on videos, I definitely prefer the new Pure LCD and I'm happy that Motorola went for it if they can't get newer AMOLED displays.
I have a nexus 6 and the screen is more then fine. I haven't noticed a piss filter and while it's not at the level of samsungs new screens I'd take it over the pure any day. Battery life is better on the 6 as well judging from reviews of the pure, I get around 4 and a half to 5 hours SoT usually.
And awful in summer.
Yeah, battery life on the Nexus 6 is perfectly fine and not bad as people said. I could get those results too, and sometimes two days with the phone turned on with no problems.

Fixed that for you.
If it's only $300 or less, it's not that much money to risk.
Some of these Chinese phones are really nice looking (imo), but no LTE is a deal killer for me so I stay away.

Lol when the grorious 5-2 is out you'll be selling that too. Book it.
Nah, it's still one of the best available, especially for its new price. The screen isn't though.

Right on. Seriously thinking of the Z6 next summer. (Provided Sony doesn't get out of mobile altogether). Really liking my Z3.
The front of the glorious nexus 5-2 folks, on a spike lee angle, not a fan of the grills but don't even care, looks exactly like the onleaks render:
Nexus 5-2 is this thick and the camera still somehow sticks out?

Not surprised those 2 phones are coming to canada but I will be surprised if it comes to a lot of carriers. Sony and Bell seem to have a lovefest going on. That's my guess.
not teh 5-2

Must have an 810. The heat sink will need to be huge.
