5.9" is not too big if it's a similar bezel style and tapered back to the G3. I thought a 5.5" screen would be too much, but once you hold it your hand, you can definitely imagine tacking on another half inch or so without any usability issues.
 
I've used my brother's Oneplus One. The size felt pretty good to me. First phone I've actually felt good typing on. Half an inch more isn't going to be as big a deal as you guys are saying. Unless you have dainty baby hands.
 
Huh, that's big. I mean, the Note II is 5.5" which is already pretty big...

In that case, bring it on! I love phones with bigger screens.

Only thing that would make it better is stylus support.
 
Nexus 4 for another year it is. Still works amazingly well. Not looking for the biggest and/or fastest so I hope a smaller phone is in the works for 2015.
 
PhoneArena is completely unreliable and posts garbage every day. They have no sources, and they never fact check. A couple of weeks ago, they "confirmed" that it would have a 1080p screen and Snapdragon 801.

That said, more reliable sources have confirmed many of these specs -- specifically, the 805 processor and 2k screen.

However, the screen size was pegged at 5.2inches not 5.9.

Well 5.9" is pretty big. I always liked big screens and I even was considering Xperia Z Ultra (6.4") for myself but when I got to see it in person I changed my mind. It's just too big. 6" with thin bezels is maximum what I would use but I hope that most flagships stay at around 5.0-5.2".

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

Perfect. No question I'll be upgrading then.
 
Came to say 5.2" looks like I was beaten. Damn these sites are lazy as hell now. The 5.9" thing was floating early summer wasn't it? The mill has long since been updated to find out its 5.2" instead.



But then again, a month or two ago people were convinced there would be no Nexus phone this year so ... ehh.
 
I'm happy with my Nexus 4 but was planning on buying the newest Nexus whenever mine breaks but god damn I really don't think I can handle that size. I would buy the N5 but I've heard it's battery life is just as shit as the N4, which is my biggest concern with the phone.

It's slightly bigger than my dick ffs.

Also I really don't get why those specs are necessesary for a phone. There's literally nothing my N4 can't handle.


Ok just saw the link that it's 5,2. I'd be fine with that, just about the limit for me.
 
No way they would only release a 6" phone....
right guys?

I can't believe no one has commented on the Moto S part. That's not even an announced phone, is it?

Pretty sure that's just the Verizon counterpart of the Nexus X. Moto S

And anyone worried about current or future battery life:

1. A 6" phone would have a massive battery

2. Android L is coming to current Nexus devices anyways, giving you at least a 30% battery boost.
 
How is the nexus 5? I was thinking of waiting out for the nexus 6, but I'm not getting it if its that size.
 
Has AT&T ever gotten a Nexus phone? I can't remember. I'm up for a new phone this winter, I have the One X, but I'm not really interested in buying a phone off contract for full price. I always here good things about the Nexus line, and my Nexus 7 tablet is one most cherished device, so I wouldn't mind my phone being one too.

Nexus 5 is a great phone, still runs as well as you'd expect a quality phone to. However, keep in mind these are only rumors, and this thread has shown there are conflicting reports to say the least. I would definitely wait it out at least a little longer before pulling the trigger on anything. Samsung and Motorola are just about to announce new things too.

Do you mean with on-contract pricing? I think they got the Nexus One. Maybe the Nexus S (second one). That's it.

That said, off-contract pricing for the Nexus 4 and 5 is pretty inexpensive. You wouldn't save much signing a two-year contract. AT&T wins there. Not you.
 
I've owned both the Nexus 4 and now 5. I like them a lot, when I decide on my next phone later down the line it will not be the Nexus 6 if it has a 5.9" display.

My Note 2 has been great and I never want a smaller phone again. Once you've gotten use to 5.5 screen you'll never go back.

I have a Note 2, and the only reason I like the size is because of the stylus. At that size its a decent take-anywhere sketchpad. I would definitely prefer a smaller phone if I was getting one without a stylus.
 
Unless its made by Sharp using their zero bezel screen tech it will be huge.

Plenty of tech sites have had some hands on with the Sharp phone and are in awe of the screen.

But yeah, battery life is my only concern about the Nexus 6 at this point.

Even if the battery is decent with 1440p, it will be even better with 1080p, same with the performance. Basically everyone has said the difference between 1080p and 1440p is not really noticeable on a phone during regular use. Great for vr though.
 
Why is everyone losing there shit at a 5.9 inch phone? A note 3 is 5.7 and I see that phone recommended all the time on here. Add .2 inches and all of sudden it's a iPad size phone that's way too big.

More reasonable. Still too big for me.

Those are the dimensions of my Galaxy Nexus:
135.5 mm (5.33 in) H
67.94 mm (2.675 in) W
8.94 mm (0.352 in) D

Slightly too big. If I have it in my pocket, I cannot sit down.

As someone who has an old Gal Nexus sitting on the shelf, lol if you cannot sit down with it in your pockets. Jesus Christ man.
