I do like the size of the Nexus 6. It's about the same size as the Note 4, but a little wider.rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-61440869234718203192015-08-16T17:19:42.945-05:002015-08-16T17:19:42.945-05:00Well, I'll be sure then do a write-up in the n...Well, I'll be sure then do a write-up in the next week or so.rowanblazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820814610269599162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-30082165314289193342015-08-16T16:56:56.267-05:002015-08-16T16:56:56.267-05:00Thanks for the warning on being an accidental beta...Thanks for the warning on being an accidental beta tester. I'm still getting situated, finding the apps that I really did use often and installing only them, etc.I have a friend who has gotten several Nexus phones, and also loves the stripped down, no bloat, aspect of the OS.

I'd love to know your opinion on a phone of this size though. I was thinking it'd be a better alternative to buying a small tablet that I'd rarely use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289459451344261371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-69377687443688346622015-08-16T04:13:29.689-05:002015-08-16T04:13:29.689-05:00I'm due an upgrade in 2 months and have been l...I'm due an upgrade in 2 months and have been looking at the Nexus 6 moving from my HTC One. <br />The HTC Sense software isn't as tailored as those I've seen on the Samsung brands, but I get frustrated at the delay in Patches and some of the assumptions it tends to make.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing how you get on with it.welshtrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344417110258711282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765136501328523372.post-14868993478793191202015-08-16T01:04:28.881-05:002015-08-16T01:04:28.881-05:00I own a Nexus 5 (LG manufactured), and the strippe...I own a Nexus 5 (LG manufactured), and the stripped-down nature of the phone, to me, feels better than the others for a few reasons. The fact that there's no bloatware is great, nothing taking up space that I don't want, and no need to root the phone to remove things I don't want. And I never have to worry about something running in the background unless I downloaded it myself, which also makes it easier to track problems down (one caveat in a moment).<br /><br />The Android Update policy for Nexus devices is a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand you will almost always be able to run the most up to date version of the operating system, making it more secure and prolonging the life of the device. The bad aspect is that in some ways you can be a beta tester. The Android 5.0 update killed my battery, so much so that even idling it would drain the battery almost completely over a 12 hour period from full. It was fixed relatively quickly (5.0.1 to be exact) and I haven't seen anything like it since, but do be warned, there may be bugs, and you might be the first to find them if you take updates the day they come out.<br /><br />All in all though, a good choice. I bet you'll be happy with it.mattHnoreply@blogger.com
