I have had my Nexus 6 since November  and I have really enjoyed using. I personally like big phones (phablets) and the Nexus 6 is a great on.

 

The battery on it last a pretty long time depending on your usage, but for me I still have 50-60% battery left on it at the end of the day. On my previous phone the Note 2 I would have to charge it every night.

 

I also really like the easy chrome cast features on it and any bugs still on 5.0.1 will be fixed very soon since 5.1 will be released in a week or 2 and the Nexus 6 is first in line for the updates.

 

I would say to get it.

It's pretty bad

 

 

What are the other choices. Nexus 6 is not really the best smartphone. I would go for a Note 4 if they have one.

Can you please provide a link to where you can choose see devices?

 

Having used the phone myself I would have to disagree with Linus's review on it. Some stuff are correct on it but I don't think it's a bad phone at all.

 I'd wait a bit for G Flex 2, M9(?) or get a Note 4, G3 or M8

The LG G3 has a a pretty bad screen. Even though it's 2560x1440 The colors on it aren't very good at all and when you try to turn up the brightness the battery doesn't even last half the day.

 

My cousin currently has it and he hates it. The Note 4 would be a better choice.

If he has fried the battery - ofcourse it won't last, my friend has it and it's great and I think he just got a bad phone becouse colors on my friends screen are very good and accurate

Erm.. i dont really wanna do that , rooting your phone voids your warannty right ?

Yeah but still it's a Samsung it will break just by itself

Put the G3 next to a note 3 or note 4 or even a Nexus and the colors on it aren't that great. They seem to be a bit dim even after the brightness is turned up. The phone is a really good phone like I said, but the display isn't great.

Well the display on the nexus 6 look fantastic to me .. since im upgrading from a nokia c5-03 so even a nokia 3350 is better than that piece of garbage xD

if you can truly put down the cash, and can handle such a large phone, I'd say go for it. It takes pretty damn nice photos and has a nice screen. In my opinion though, you are missing out on a TON if you do not root it and put custom ROMs or kernels. There are so many things you can do it to make it a lot better in terms of performance, fluidity, and stability, as stock Lollipop is riddled with bugs including memory leaks.

Hm.. i will wait until 1st of March so see if i sould pick up the m9 . On the topic of the Note 4 , if I root it and put customs ROM's it will void my warranty and imagine if the phone broke ? I can't simply buy a new phone xD see what i mean ? But i will wait for the m9 to see if i should wait for buy the Note 4 or Nexus 6

The days of hardbricks are long gone. If you have a serious problem, there is ALWAYS a way to fix it. It requires a bit of ingenuity on your part and a lot of searching on XDA but no problem leaves your phone "bricked" and you HAVE to buy a new one. I'd say go Nexus 6 because for me mainly because of 3rd party development. However this is my opinion. If you are the guy who could care less about software and/or messing with it, it could go either way.
