Nexus 6

Google loves attacking new industries, as we all know, and the company confirmed that one of its next big moves will be to launch a wireless carrier

It’s easy to get caught up in the hype surrounding the latest iPhone release, but sometimes it’s important to remind ourselves that Apple’s devices aren’t actually the best at everything. Having recently run a blind camera comparison using photos taken on both the Nexus 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, PhoneArena discovered that its readers preferred the Nexus 6 by a landslide.

Motorola just launched two high-end Android handsets, including the Droid Turbo and the Nexus 6 — the latter in partnership with Google — but the company isn’t done releasing hot Android devices. Droid Forums has learned that Motorola is developing an even better Nexus 6 version, and it will be sold as a Droid-branded device.

The Nexus 6 is a very good phone in many ways but, as we made clear in our review, it has a lot of flaws as well. To take one example, Business Insider has done a photo shootout between the Nexus 6, the iPhone 6 Plus and the Galaxy Note 4 and has found that the big Nexus’s camera is truly subpar in low-light situations.

Nexus 6 units have already started shipping to early buyers, and while many of them may be using the huge Lollipop-running phablet as their daily driver, not all of them are so lucky

Android’s sweet new “Lollipop” flavor brings security improvements and easier ways to view and respond to notifications. The new Google software for mobile devices even lets you lend out your phone without worrying about a friend circulating your naked selfies on Facebook.

Google is offering customers who purchase the new Nexus 6 mobile phone six months of free “Google Play Music All Access.” The offer is available until December 31st, 2014, although it has to be redeemed by the end of January 2015 otherwise you will lose out of the free offer.

Google’s Nexus 6 launch is far from being a massive launch, as the company only had a limited number of units available for preorder last week, which soon sold out in the Google Play Store. Moreover, its five U.S. carrier partners that have signed on to sell the device have yet to start taking Nexus 6 orders, and international markets will only get the handset later in December (at least the U.K.).

I have been a hardcore Nexus fan and user since the nexus 4 came out. There were two main reason why I always appreciated the Nexus Series. First, these phones have stock android with great specs; second, the prices were low that made them affordable for everyone (especially students) to buy an off-contract phone.

Google is coming out with bigger, more expensive versions of its Nexus phone and tablet to attract more of the affluent consumers who faithfully buy each new generation of Apple’s iPhone and iPad.

Infamous smartphone leaker Evan Blass might have given up on spoiling surprises as a professional endeavor, but the occasional leak still trickles through his @evleaks Twitter account, as was the case on Tuesday when Blass published a press render of a very familiar looking smartphone. As he notes, there is no reference to the phone’s origin in the image, but the render looks nearly identical to earlier images of the Nexus 6running Android L.
