It's funny how the Android manufacturers are going to drive me back to an iPhone because they keep making phones bigger.

 

[Lubricus]

It was a figure of speech. I can, but my jeans become super tight and uncomfortable.

You need a phone holster.

Plus people might be a little hesitant to mess with you.

 

[DarkFlow]

Are they skinny jeans? I can have my note 3 in my levi jeans and not even notice it.

 

[AuthenticM]

No, but I've had them for years and I took some weight. Maybe that's just it. :/

[Big Chungus]

aww was going to switch from my iphone to nexus but if its going to be that big...

 

[DarkFlow]

Nexus 5, HTC One Max, and a Nexus 7. The One Max is 5.9 inch, so this should give you a idea.

Now a Note 3 (5.7) and a Max (5.9)

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

I like big phones and all with the Note series, but this is bigger than even the Note 3....yeesh!

 

[Giant Panda]

My 4.7 inch droid razor is my absolute size limit. Calling a 5.9 inch device a phone is crazy.

 

[Mortemis]

A 5 in phone is probably the most I'd go, so 5.9 in? Disgusting.

I'll keep my Nexus 5 for another year, and see what's good next year. This year is tablet shopping anyways.

 

[JayDub]

Onboar 64gb or above or no buy.

Um I have bad news for you there

 

[Spinluck]

Hold on to those 5's folks.

 

[Enco]

5.9' is fucking over kill for a phone.

.

 

[Jon Armdog]

I love the Nexus line, but that's way too big. I was hoping to get an upgraded battery and camera from this Nexus 5, but not at that screen size.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Plz come to Verizon (why do I do this to myself?)

 

[DrFaustPhD]

Nexus 5, HTC One Max, and a Nexus 7. The One Max is 5.9 inch, so this should give you a idea.

Now a Note 3 (5.7) and a Max (5.9)

Wow. Yeah. I've had a Note 3 and a Nexus 7 in my hands recently. Its really hard to imagine anyone being dumb enough to have a 5.9" phone be their only flagship. If there is any truth to the 5.9" rumors, then it just can't be the only device they plan on releasing. No doubt there's a (small) market for a true phablet device, but I don't think Google would alienate Nexus fans like that without a very good reason.

 

[Hylian7]

Because my N5 isn't already a giant beast. Looks like I'll be passing. ;_;

You have a funny standard for "giant beast".

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Jean makers gotta step up their pocket game to accommodate these phones.

 

[Azulsky]

They really just need a Nexus 5 with the new CPU and the speakers revised.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Yeah... that's too big. Will stick with the Nexus 5. Really a great phone.

 

[-COOLIO-]

im calling bs on that size.

im on board with with quad hd though because of VR applications.

 

[Cipherr]

Awful topic title with incorrect information ruining thread.

 

[hateradio]

I wouldn't want a phablet. I think I'm over the concept.

 

[TxdoHawk]

It's not going to be 2k and it's not going to be a 5.9 inch phone, hah. This is just a spec nerd's wet dream turned into a "rumor", much like the Galaxy Prime.

 

[DarkFlow]

Awful topic title with incorrect information ruining thread.

I think it's fun to watch people get worked up over a phone.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I have a note 2 and I wish it was bigger. Bring on the 5.9" phones!

 

[potam]

Was excited until I saw 5.9"

Attn phone manufacturers:

I want to be able to fit my phone in my pocket, and hold it in one hand. I don't wear size 44 pants with gallon-size pockets. I'm also not a giant. Please make phones for regular people.

 

[Final Boss]

5.5" is the perfect screen size

Spoiler

because apple says so

 

[DeSo]

Ugh, that screen size is way too big. Might just go for the Nexus 5.

 

[jbueno]

I feel 4.5" is just right, don't want anything bigger, and I'm not much of a power user so I'm happy with my Moto 4G.

 

[jamesinclair]

Would be interesting if Nexus 5 is kept the same with refreshed insides, and the Nexus X(l) is in addition to.

Like they see how Apple had three models on the market and they want that pie.

 

[NotBacon]

It's not going to be 2k and it's not going to be a 5.9 inch phone, hah. This is just a spec nerd's wet dream turned into a "rumor", much like the Galaxy Prime.

That's what I'm thinking.

 

[Kanyon]

I am all over this like a fat kid on a doughnut, been rocking a Sony Xperia T2 Ultra with a 6" display and it's fantastic but the internals bog it down a bit. Nexus device with almost the same size and I'll be in heaven!

Hopefully this rumour turns out to be true.

 

[reKon]

This isn't going to be 5.9 inches.

 

[Cooter]

Whatever my Note 3 measures is perfection.

 

[markot]

Bigger than a note is silly.

But maybe they just mean screen size. You could easily get a bigger screen in a note. Especially with software buttons.


The plus side of bigger phones is that tablets kinda feel useless.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Sounds good. I was thinking of importing the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro which has a similar 6 inch 2K display but I might go with this if it's cheaper.

 

[MThanded]

Big ass phones. It's getting damn ridiculous. Has been for a while.

Bigger than the note. Foolishness.

 

[linkboy]

5.9 is just a little to big for me, going to stick with my Nexus 5 for the next few years.

 

[Vostro]

Nexus 5 is the perfect size for me. Anything bigger than 5 is ridiculous.

 

[DarkFlow]

Big ass phones. It's getting damn ridiculous. Has been for a while.

Bigger than the note. Foolishness.

It's going to be 5.2, but don't let that stop you.

[belvedere]

My OPO invite couldn't have arrived at a better time.

 

[xtop]

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

is it possible to fake the specs with this benchmark?

 

[DarkFlow]

is it possible to fake the specs with this benchmark?

Sure, you can fake just about anything, but I would think for the most part it's legit. This is how we got specs on the 5 last year.

[JoeFu]

Nobody reads the thread. 5.2 has been the screen size for ages.

 

[yogloo]

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.

Close minded drama Queens with tall poppy syndromes.

Hopefully the battery/camera is the primary focus since this is Motorola. GNEX/N4/N5 have all had shit batteries and cameras.

 

[Taco_Human]

Man Google, your phones are supposed be be mid priced. No 400 dollars please.

I wanna upgrade from my 4 but I probably can't afford it according to how fancy it is.

 

[krae_man]

Will buy a discounted Nexus 5 on clearance.
