Love watching these old reviews. It’s crazy to see how much phones have changed in the last 7 years.
me too!
Same here, it's such a cool way to go back

******** reviews the Nexus 6*
Here's another Nexus 6 review from someone I trust when it comes to mobile tech. The Nexus 6 isn't perfect, but no phone is perfect. I'm confident that any little issues that exist such as random jank or battery life can be improved with software updates. As for the video, it's long, but it's worth the watch. Marques does an amazing job as always.
My Nexus 6 hasn't shipped yet... hopefully this week. I can't wait to put it through the paces, review it, and compare it to my Moto X 2014. To me, the Moto X is perfect, so it's going to be a fun comparison and ultimately a hard decision when it comes to picking my final daily driver.
This was the best review
I missed this one, thanks!
***** is actually the only video phone reviewer I watch.. Consistent, Fair, Honest, and has had pretty much everything, so I trust the judgement..
You're just a fanboy, *****
;-)
***** after running Lollipop on my Nexus 5, both the second preview and the final version, I've found that there is a lot of jitterness initially.
That jitterness can be handled by rebooting the phone. And this process needs to be done 4-5 times. As in whenever the phone feels janky, reboot it. Overtime everything is fine. No need to reboot.
I've no explanation for this but this is just my observation.
Watching this on my Nexus 6 still in 2019.
Does it run pubg without lagging
It doesn't matter. Cause this video is so outdated now.
I'm sorry I hope that's not the case anymore
Me too!!! Love my Nexus 6!!!

What about the Motorola Moto X line DUH!

Nostalgic to see MKBHD videos from before he switched from the dorm room feel to the condo feel.
Btw I'm here to see how people.reacted to the sheer size of the nexus 6 back at release
I had the original Moto X when this came out, I remember thinking that it was ridiculous how big it was. As I type this on my S21 Ultra 🤣
Phablets were really weird back then, especially with the bezels. Held one myself and it's really too big compared to the big screen phones we have in 2024. Sad to see small form factor phones losing charm though.
I would love to see this body, this design, redone with modern specs and a new display casing to drop those bezels. Would be a monster of a phone. My favorite phone design of all time
Yep same here, was definitely my favourite phone for years. Wish they would redo with 2022 hardware and software like you said.
Am I the only one that fights the urge to buy a new phone by watching videos about the phone they already have? rofl
Stephen Granville lol I do this too!
Stephen Granville me too
I watch reviews right after I buy a phone to make sure I made the right choice... Currently have an LG G6
Same 😂😂
Stephen Granville that’s what I’m doing right now lmaooo
Just bought mines few days ago (my 1st nexus to be exact) and I'm loving the experience so far. Super smooth software, quick charge, and awesome display.
You just bought a nexus 6? Lol how much did it cost?
Excellent once again. Such talent, camera fluency, objectivity, sharpness, affable presentation and clever in-a-nutshell choice of review topics is usually coming from veteran TV journalists... and now here it's coming from an amateur 20-year-old who's not even a journalist! (if I'm not mistaken, he has said he's studying something completely different - that's what I mean, don't get me wrong)
Keep up the good work. I'm becoming a big, BIG fan! Thumbs up.
The main reason I watch MKBHD and not other tech reviewers, is because 1) his production quality is really high 2) he is as unbiased as a reviewer can be 3) he doesn't have a speech impediment.
Keep up the good work Marques!
imageWorldServices lol @ #3! "I watch him because he doesn't have a speech impediment!" Best "lmfao" of the day ;p
He is one of the few RUclipsrs who isn't extremely annoying and actually has a clue what he is talking about.
With earnings in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, he has the perfect incentive!
socialblade.com/youtube/user/marques%20brownlee
All the more power to him! I'm glad he is offering something so well made and is making money out of it. Also because he's so young & is accomplishing good earnings at such an age.
Ok so what I got from this video is that you basically want a Google Play edition Note 4? :-p
Lol great video as always 👍
That would be the complete phone
Would there be S-Pen compatibility?
i bought someone an iphone sex eseexxx mini
*Anyone else still rocking this baby?*
I honestly haven't found a phone that I like enough to part with this. Big screen, front facing stereo speakers... what more do you need considering it's a phone.
Maybe it's the fact it's the first phone I bought at full price and 600 quid isn't something I just throw away after a couple of years. Maybe it's the combination of the device, Cyanogenmod and xposed means I have my phone looking and running exactly how I want it.
I miss these 17min video reviews!
I could be wrong, but the Nexus 6 uses the same 13mp camera sensor as the 1+1 not the Moto X 2014.
Moto X 2014 uses Sony IMX 135, the Nexus 6 uses IMX 214
Alvin McClendon II
That is correct, it's not the same sensor as the Moto X, same size, 13mp
***** glad I could help out
Saw the time at 17 minutes and thought this would suck - but it didn't .... good review.
That usually my first thoughts with long videos too :P
nah man MKBHD never disappoints
HasNi Hassaan he probably makes the best video reviews on youtube
derrick smoove without a doubt
Why would you assume that the review would suck just by looking at the duration?
I miss that time in tech when companhies used to be implementing lots of designs, lots of different features and if you choose one instead of another your experience would be completely different
I 💙 your reviews! So knowledgeable and eloquent in speech!
Amazing review! I was wondering how good the front facing camera was? Does anyone know? *Yes, I like to take selfies...*
Yeah I have one..the front camera is 2 or 3 mp I think my profile has a few pics of em
Why not HTC One M8?
Wtf kwebbelkop i thought you sold your soul to apple lol
I don't have the Nexus 6 yet, but I guess that the front camera has a good imaging quality, I'm also one of the Selfie lovers.
My fav YT gamer comments on my fav YT tech channel. Waiting for you vSauce...
Good review but he got 2 things wrong.
1. Nexus 6 doesn't have the camera sensor from the Moto X. It actually has a newer Sony sensor which is also used in OnePlus One.
2. The performance is not up to the par not only because of the 2k display but also for the fact that it has default device encryption from the first boot itself.
O_o Device encryption? Yes, that takes extra time to do. I wouldn't of thought about that.
Yep, the new nexuses have device encryption by default.
Basically Qualcomm hasn't given Google the resources required to use the hardware decoder built into the SoC so decryption is very slow which causes apps to load slowly.
ObsessedTaco I presume someone will find a way and release the fix :P
ObsessedTaco they have found a way to turn it off on Nexus 9 so its just a matter of time on Nexus 6
you do such a good job at reviewing Marques. your tone, choice of words, ability to explain.. I like it. thanks
I've had it since November and the front facing speakers and battery life have made this my favorite smart phone ever.
YESS!! A 17 MINUTE MKBHD VIDEO!!!
2018 and still rocking the 6
Does it runs pubg perfectly
@@MuhammadUmer-kk2jm WHY DOES EVERY INDIAN CARE ABOUT PUBG.

@@MuhammadUmer-kk2jm Dude, you have other game like Ark Survival Evolved.
Don't just test it with one game and think that this phone or that phone will produce a smooth gaming experience.
bought this recently and really love it!
the pink screen is a feature on the lowest setting only available with adaptive display active. it's similar to the app twilight.
Thanks for the info marques. I'm going to pick two of them up with my brother today, super stoked!
I don't really understand why they need to move to QHD if its gonna compromise the battery. According to Google the human eye can't see pixels above 350 PPI. Note 3 is 1080p @ 386 PPI which is above the 350 mark. The nexus 6 has nearly 500 PPI which is ridiculous high pixel density, if you ask me they technology is not yet ready for QHD it suffocates the battery for hardly any better in return, how about we start improving our battery technology instead?
Wrong, the human eye can see pixels up to 500p+ and we are just now hitting that mark. And as it was stated in the video QHD will get better, but we are still in the first generation of QHD displays just like how 1080p caused devices to suffer when it was first implemented. With the shift to 64bit processors, the QHD drain will decrease and future phones will be able to handle them better.
Ukko Clap it all depends on how close the screen is to your eyes. every person has a different arm length and different habits for using their phones. of course you can easily see pixels in 350ppi if you put your eye an inch from the screen.
***** 1080p is not good enough. YOU may not be able to notice the difference but plenty of others can, including myself. QHD is the new standard 1080 will start replacing 720p, and QHD will move into 1080's spot.
***** Nope, I never actively search for anything. Plenty of people notice the difference in everyday use. If you want 1080p for the next couple of years then that's fine. Just don't try to drag everyone else with you.
Quannix Rainbowaxe Told you already the trad-offs will be fixed as the tech evolves same thing that happened with 1080p. Technology can't stay stagnant.......if it does the industry will die. They need to keep pushing the boundaries to see what can become reality. I find the fact that you seem to want stagnation to happen extremely concerning.
Wow. Marques looked pretty disappointed in this video; he couldn't even hide it. I'm now reconsidering getting this device. Too many reviews are saying the same thing - questionable battery and a slower than expected experience at times.
Might just keep my OPO and call it a day. Let's hope that El Goog pushes out 5.0.1 quickly to address some of these issues.
I recently started following him and this was the first video of his I watched, so I could be missing it, but I didn't recognize what I would call disappointment. In fact, he said he's going to use it as his daily driver, and if a reviewer was disappointed in a device, do you think they'd do that?
He pretty much said that as qhd devices go, the only thing better was the Note 4.
He _looked_ disappointed?
He had a lot of praise and some criticism.
Overall it was definitely a favorable review.
J Agnew his overall delivery wasn't as before. His facial expressions betrayed him. Keith ! it's not only him. The overall viewpoint from other reviewers is one of a let down...and at that price I'm not accepting that. If I'm moving from my OPO it has to be something significantly better and I'm not getting that with this device.
Stephen Zipprich I've been watching his reviews for a while now. This one is different, especially for a Nexus device.
Michael Best fair enough.
***** thanks, did not know that was his way.
True, body language will tell you a lot. If you're happy with your current device that's awesome.
Personally I'm ready to upgrade from my M7 and I've never used a Nexus before so I'm interested.
If I don't like it that's what 30 money back guarantees are for.
A concise and professional review. Great job, mate.
Still my daily driver. Love the phone. Hoping Moto gets a chance to make another Nexus device, if there will ever be another nexus device.
Larry Sybrandt Rumors suggest there might be a successor to the Nexus 6 this year.
Hope it's true, I love this phone!
Yeah, nexus 6 is a mistake. QHD should not be pushed yet. We don't have CPU that's efficient enough to handle it yet. Because 805 is just a minor spec bump from 801 and 800, combined with QHD, the performance ends up about equal with 800/801 and 1080p.
And also, the trend of bigger phone needs to stop. It's a phone. You should be able to put it in your pocket and handle phone call without looking awkward. Do you want larger screen for media consumption? Get a tablet.
Totally agree
Can't agree more
805 is a big jump. It was made in mind for QHD displays.
If I bought this, it'd be for use as a small tablet. Cept it appears to have no active stylus.
I'm very curious to see what the total sales numbers are after the holidays. Seems a small US population niche vs larger international (based upon current hardware acceptance). I sit in that, assumedly, smaller US pop who wants the larger screen, never bought into a separate tablet, comfortable with the $, and patient for OS improvement impacts on battery, camera, other features. (my N5 performance in these areas has improved dramatically since my purchase in 2013). The one thing I will say, which I was surprised about, was that experience of a device getting better over time. Like buying car and it appreciating off the lot. It's all attributed to android updates and their impact on features and it is what helps solidify the deal for me. BUT, again, I'm a niche audience, and I am very curious what the large phone consumer demand turns out to be after holidays.
When reviews were still reviews..

Marques , Thanks for your video. I'm still waiting for my Nexus 6 (it will come in a few days) but with your video i'm looking forward even more!
Great channel! Thanks for making these phone reviews!
anyone come here in 2019? its recommend in my video
Same here. Interesting
Great review, one again, man!
Great videos Mr. Brownlee! I always appreciate your honest unbiased reviews. After watching this I decided on the Nexus 6. Thanks bro.
I've been getting some pretty great battery life with my Nexus 6 but i flashed franco kernel and undervolted so now i get battery life that is even better than the note 4 and i'm really happy with my nexus 6

Best reviewer on the web right now!
I miss my Nexus 6. I had the blue one, was in love with it!
This was a really in depth review, good job.
Using Nexus 6 in 2022 with Lineage OS 18.1 (Android 11) Excellent device \m/
How are you liking it and do you use it as a daily driver out just a phone to play with
hey guys, would this still be a good purchase even in 2017, or should i go with something newer around the same price tag?
awesome review, bro. covered pretty much what I wanted to see and know, and much more! love your channel. peace!
This is an awesome review man! I'm definitely getting that phone today.
whatever you say..or don't say...this is arguably the best phone in the world...
Iphone 6+, not this ugly thing from motorola
TotallyNotAGamer. isheep found....its hard to reason with logic with isheeps...so I'll not even bother to argue...
TotallyNotAGamer. Ayy lmao
***** lol, Agreed. people have their opinions tho. so its not a big deal ;)
TotallyNotAGamer. Not a big deal? GTFO.
2014: 6 inch display of Nexus 6 is massive
2019: A $100 phone has 6.2 inch display
Different aspect ratios my guy
Yea but the budget 100 puhone would likely have the smaller aspect ratio
my stylo 4 is 6" and i got it for 129
I'm watching this now in March 2016 as I get ready to move on to the Blackberry Priv. The first part of the video talks about how big the phone is, which at the time I agreed with. Now, I can't believe how I ever went without a 6" screen. This phone was incredible for me and I'm sure I'll go back to it every so often, but I'm looking forward to having a physical keyboard again.
I'm still enjoying using this phone in November 2017. Still much to like including the large display and front firing speakers. Good then.. Good now 👍
Never any ads on his videos. Ever.
Why is this on my recommendations in august 6 2019. RUclips is super wierd...
As i am here i am just stunned that google camera's of old were just average.. how far did they come mahn...
I've always wanted multiple phones. Ordered an Xperia 5 and this review convinced me to order the Nexus 6......right now. Great review Mr. Brownlee. 😊
once again very informative review, gave me a very good look of the phone. From your thoughts, I got the feeling that next year we might see something better. I would like to go back to Stock Android, it does feel really good and smooth.
I want the Nexus size screen, the Note 4's battery life, screen resolution, stylus, camera running stock Android 5.0. Is that so much to ask for?
Marcel West-Bailey You could have all of that, minus the .2" bump in screen size if you just buy a Note 4, root it, flash an AOSP ROM.. et voila.
***** BRUH
***** DUDE I HAVE THE MOST CRAZIEST STORY!!!!!!! MY AUNT WAS OVER AND SHE HAS A NOTE 4, SHE SAID SHE WAS GETTING RID OF IT AND ASKED ME IF I WANTED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM GETTIN IT NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!
***** I KNOW RIGHT
Looks like you, Jared, is still rly young.
2014: Nah
2019: Check out this video
Great review! Objective and thorough. Well done.
Dude you should make one second machine gun recap of all the videos from the past... this is the first video i ever watched of yours
man u r d best reviewer in d world
To be honest, I'm not impressed like I wanted to be when N6 was announce. The nexus deserves a better rep, the nexus 5 and 4 was unique with there physical and software features. But they copied the MXs and just made it 2x bigger but it's not unique in style. I loved my N4&5 but this one didn't satisfy my excitement :( Have to go with the Note this year!
I totally agree with you. I dunno about touchwiz though :/
Yeah it's a bit much but the Note is showing some things to be hyped about
I agree. I'll stick w/ my N5 for a while.
I couldn't blame you because my N5 is still beastly! And has its own class of style. Ri Gil
Frankie Worth do you know the OTA for Android 5.0??
*RUclips suggest me this 6 years later*
Thank you RUclips, very cool!
I just recently installed Android 10 on my Nexus 6 through Lineage OS. Crazy to think that a lot of newer phones won't even get an update for Android 10, but thanks to third party developers. We can keep beasts like the Nexus 6 alive.
I WANT THIS PHONE SO BADD. IM SICK OF MY GALAXY S4. IT HAS WATER DAMAGE AND ITS BREAKING DOWN. I NEED A NEW PHONE BUT IM ON CONTRACT. I HATE CONTRACTS. UGHGHGHGHUGH
Will Ow I feel you man I got a galaxy s4 on verizon and got to wait until febuary 2016 its still on 4.4.2 I want lollipop but don't want to root it ugh.
I just upgraded from a GS4 to a nexus 6... Best decision ever!
Shockwave why not? I rooted my s4. No regrets
nickw1235 that's an interesting statement. Why do you like the Nexus 6 better than the GS4?
Michael G Well, I personally like stock android better than skinned versions of android, so that already puts the nexus ahead for me. Another thing I like about this device is stability (no app crashes, zero lag, etc.). And one last factor for me was developer support, and control over my device, and the nexus does just that. I don't have to worry about a buggy version of android (like touchwiz) being stuck on my device, I always have the ability to flash ROMS and remove bloatware and lag on this device, which makes makes things much easier for me. However, this phone isn't perfect. It's HUGE, and it needs improvement hardware wise. They could have went with a smaller resolution screen to increase battery life, and they also could have improved the camera a bit. Also, I like the front facing speakers on the nexus (I know I could have gotten an HTC M9 for the speakers, but that fucker gets hot, and I'm not a fan of HTC sense). Other than that, I like it much better than my S4.
so basically im paying 2x the price of a n5 for a bigger screen for porn...hmm that might be worth it but idk
Guess what, u can watch quad HD porn when are available
Why do you guys make it sound like the Nexus 5 was the perfect phone at an affordable price? It really came with a lot of shortcomings to meet that budget price. Poor camera, especially at launch, poorer quality screen compared to the LG G2, ridiculously small battery, much smaller than the G2, & no 64gb option. The Nexus 6 is the first Nexus to have a good camera review at launch, it's not the best on the market, but the best for any Nexus and all the other shortcomings the 5 had was improved drastically so you need to stop bitching about the price. This ain't no budget phone.
Leandro Jack
it came out with bugs that were fixed by updates, and its "poor camera" wasnt even that bad, yes it wasnt the great but for a $349 smartphone it rivaled phones that were $650-$750 so thats why i make it sound like n5 was the perfect phone because when u factor in its price and capability in contrast to other phones that cost 2x it seems like the perfect phone unfortunately
Adam Resh But at the end of the day it had a lot of shortcomings which attributed to the price being cheap. The only phone that really came without those shortcoming and was affordable was the One Plus one. The Nexus 6 can match every flagship in every category, why should it cost $350? It even outshines the flagship it was made from which is the Moto X 2014 in every category. That's the first time a Nexus is better than it's OEM flagship minus the software.
Leandro Jack
if by end of the day you mean today then no it doesnt but on its initial release it did sure but so does literally every product on its debut. say the n5 is $349 [which it is] and the s5/i6/n6 were $349 whichi is half of their actual price then divide everything about that phone by 2 then comprae the 2 the n5 would demolish it.
I'm still using this phone, have bee for the past 6 years give or take, came looking for a newer Motorola phone I might be interested in because it's been so nice.
Started dropping and throwing around the phone more overtime, and only damage is a dent in the volume buttons that hasn't prevent them working, the curvature seems to save it and keep it sturdy while allowing me to obsessively spin it without needing a fidget spinner, and I've only just recently felt the need to change away from the Google Now launcher to improve my experience. Wondered whether to even replace the battery or try find a better one since it's only been noticeably worse the past year, but still usable to to staying home for lockdowns.
Wish they could just remake it or I could fill the shell with new parts.
Thanks for the review.Just Upgraded from Nexus 5 to Nexus 6. Feeling Excited .
First and foremost it's a Nexus device and with that in mind you have to ask yourself does the Nexus 6 answer all the issues of those before it; the answer is yes and then some.
Better display✔
Better build✔
Better camera✔
Better speakers✔
Bigger battery✔
More tactile buttons✔
More premium✔
In *my* opinion it's the best phone of 2014 when you consider the overall package of specs, price, build, design and support. Most may disagree of course, but there's no denying this is indeed the best Nexus device to date.
Better display? PPI isn't what makes a display good. IMO The Nexus' 5 display is just as good (can't see pixels) and the viewing angles are better.
chriscem color reproduction are a bit washed, light bleeding issues and blacks not as black as Amoled. Yes, if you're looking at the screen almost completely horizontal, but who does that.?
chriscem nope. LCD displays are just nothing in viewing angles when compared to AMOLED displays.
How (the hell) do you keep dust away from your stuff? I know my house is surrounded by fields and dusty&roughy streets but I spend too much time fighting dust and I hate it!
The right place to talk about this!
I can pick every other video from MKBHD and it would be the same
+Lorenzo Franciosi Get a feather duster. That cheap polyester kind that looks like a cat's tail on acid. Shake it a few times and the static charge will suck all dust away just by a slight touch. You don't even have to clear your desk to dust.
Miner 2049er not so funny, I was really interested in something like a specific product. I know that dust removal tool but I didn't know its name in English, so thank you for the lesson and good bye
+Lorenzo Franciosi I think it is often called a smart duster but I've always called it a cat's tail. Microfiber cloths and antistatic spray is also good for keeping electronics shiny.
Just got mine, I love it!
As an old iPhone 4S user, I welcome the giant screen :D
I received this phone as a gift and couldn't be more happier with quality and size. I'm highly impressed with nexus 6!
Um I wish I could watch the video but since the advertisement won't stop buffering I guess I'll... ...not watch the video.
***** just RUclips mobile. No add blocker.
***** thanks though. Never would have thought of that
Got it.
Apparently just a random anomaly.
Maison Pulaski that happened to me too
i wish nexus 6 would be 5,5" display.6" display too big for me:-(
That would've been perfect. Stupid move on Google's part.
Frankamentise agreed.
an extra .5" is hardly a difference trust me if you held a 5.5" device next to a 6" device you wouldn't notice a difference at all.
KROreviews hey man..it is bigger than İphone6 Plus and note 4 :-). Can you imagine.?!
Yıldırım Sertbaş I've held the Nexus 6 and compared it to my OnePlus One it's not that much bigger. If you're coming from a 5.5" device
i LOVED this phone so much, im now using an iphone but the nexus 6 was my favorite phone i’ve ever had
using it since the launch, i just freakin love the screen!
Xperia Z3 Compact will be my next device. Why would I want Quad-HD when I can have 720p and 7-9 hours of screen-on time? :)
That just makes so much sense.... It's not that u r fixing microscopes on your eyes to see pixels on a 720p display.... Normal eyes see no pixels on a 720p small screen phone...
Mahut Loz That's bullshit. My S3 is 720p at 4.7" and I can see the pixels clearly. It is a pentile panel, so maybe that makes them a little more visible than they would be if it were an RGB panel, but still. Plus it's not even about you seeing the pixels if you look very closely, the image on a high PPI screen is significantly sharper even from a distance.
Mahut Loz Some people want the absolute worst you can offer them, which doesn't make alot of sense IMO. I just sit back and wonder, if he said 1080p I can understand that but 720p in this day and age.........all I have to say is, I guess people with weaker eyes need less strain by the looks of it.
alin alin The absolute worst? Please point me to another phone that gives you 7-9 hours of screen on-time while keeping flagship specs for the most part.
***** You'd be surprised at what Sony's done with this iteration. While their charging times suck (3-ish hours for charging the Z3 as compared to 2-ish for the S5) the battery life time is insanely good.
came to research the video, just ordered it while it was $199. Shouts out to Marques Brownlee for the price drop heads up😀👍👌
MarQues..love your work and great information..thanks
Just purchase the Nexus 6 for the wife and I literally hours ago and I am super excited to finally get my hands on it. Hopefully, this phone will last me at least 3-4 years just like my HTC One-X did.
Marques, I'm big fan of your reviews. However, I never see you review audio quality (with headphones) of a smartphone. I was wondering why? And another personal question: what device do you use to listen music on the go?
Suddenly my moto x 2013 feels very small. I want the nexus 6
Getting the Nexus 6 tomorrow! excited to have stock android and the easy rooting ability's of the nexus series. So looking forward to getting off my S4, big phones for life.
One of the best review videos on RUclips, you've gotta new sub.... but I would of liked some info on expandable memory etc.
This thing is amazing, of course I've only had it for a couple hours... Got it on Verizon edge plan and will only be $50 a month for the phone and a plan!
Got the nexus 6 yesterday from Verizon love it and its a huge upgrade from the s4
Anthony Collins Hey !
I have an S4, and thinking of buyin the N6, how is the phone compared to the S4, battery life, camera and software and how is it in the hands? Is the screen noticable better than the S4? I've had my S4 for almost 2 years now. ( 1 year and 5 months.
The battery life last longer the camera is great for it only being 13 megapixels you have lollipop while the s4 is still running on kit Kat since the screen is 6 inches its takes getting used to because the screen is 1.1 inches bigger but it won't be a problem if you have big hands like me the colors are more sharp and its a full 1080p but I think its easier to work and its a full google flagship fone
Calis krit I can't really give a comparison to the S4 as I haven't used the S4. It's a whole lot better than my S3 was though! Camera is pretty good, probably not the best out there. It's really smooth and fast as far as software. As for the battery, i'm not too sure because I always end up playing games lol. But I've put it on battery saver and used it more lightly and it could probably last 2 days. It would be higher than 90% after like 8-9 hours still. I don't mind it running down real fast when I don't need it to last because it comes with the rapid charger and charges fully in a little over an hour.
Calis krit I've had my GS3 since 2013 and just got the Nexus 6 yesterday on Verizon's Edge plan. Loving it so far, already unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom ROM + Recovery.
I love MKBHD's videos, but he forgets to mention HOW he uses his phone daily. On Twitter, Marquee mentioned that he tends to have his phones brightness at 75% - Full brightness, plus the fact that he (Almost) religiously has his phone using LTE at all times. This means that he's REALLY pushing his phone to the limit, meaning that he's technically a very heavy user. I believe this is something he should mention since this puts on a different perspective on how he determines battery life on all the phones he reviews. Overall a really in depth review, Marquees video making skills and great knowledge of what he's reviewing, as always, is top quality.
The Nexus tablet changed my whole perspective. Who knew native android was so clean! The Nexus 6 is my next phone. I cannot deal with artificial blown up versions of Android anymore. Thanks for covering benchmarking in your video. I'll look for more elaborate benchmarking specific videos on your channel. Great coverage!
dude, I have watched a lot of phone review videos but somehow I never stumbled upon yours until today. You make absolutely the best reviews I have ever seen. Huge kudos! I just broke my Note 3 and my insurance is going to help me buy a new phone. I'm trying to decide if I want to go with the N4 or go with the Nexus 6. It's a tough call. I don't really use the s-pen or dual window functionality...and I rooted by N3 to get rid of bloatware and hide touchwiz as much as possible (used Nova Launcher), but the Note series, once I fiddled with all that stuff, is really really good. I had a Samsung Galaxy Nexus back in the day and it was great also...so I wouldn't mind going back to Nexus, especially since I love screen size more than most other features. The battery life worries me a bit though. Hmmmm...lots to think about!
they done messed up imho. alienating lots of folks who can't make this their daily/all-around carry due to it's massive size. if i wanted a tablet i would get a tablet. phablets are ridiculous and don't have good portability. the highest i would go for a phone would be 5.5" and that's pushing it.
Ina decade though, we'll start seeing 7-inch phablets...because they'll be foldable.
Plenty of phablets have good portability. Tablets are almost useless tech at this point and that's being reflected in the sales of them and the stagnated growth. Why get one when you can just get a computer for home use since that's were they are used the most. Not everyone wants a super tiny device anymore.
then go buy a moto x. or stick with your old phone. its not like you're forced to buy this phone and use it.
yeah, I predict the nexus phone and tablet will be down in sales compared to last year
ObsessedTaco it's a great phone but I'm hearing that the phone has overheating issues and the battery doesn't seems to last all day. These are kind of turning me off from this phone. But still it's a great phone in my opinion. I'm thinking of which phone to get, the HTC one m8 or the lg g3 because I like a phone that can last me all day and I enjoy playing games a lot. Both of these phones have cons like the HTC one m8 cam not being that good or the lg g3 battery doesn't seems to last all day. So yeah it's going to be a tough decision for me to make
This phone is such a huge dissapointment... except from Android Lollipop, which is great, theres nothing that makes this phone worth to buy it...
The Display is too high Resolution which
- makes the performance bad
- makes the battery life less long
- is no, and this was proven, *no* difference to a good 1080p display.
Other that that, it looks ugly as hell, has a bad camera and is way to big... It's impossible to hold it with one hand or to make it in your pockets and sit comfortably...
_If you don't agree with my opinion, don't hate, but just say your opinion:)_
i forgot to add that it's way to expensive...
I do not disagree with what you say but there is one point i do disagree on, on a 6 inch display the difference between 1080p and 2k is pretty noticeable and Motorola wants to keep up with its competition of 2k phones like the LG G3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
I agree with most of what you said but there is a difference compared to 1080p, and yes, it is noticeable. Barely, but noticeable nonetheless.
I think Google could've done much better, but you're lying about there not being a difference between 2K and 1080p on a phone. Just because you can't are pixels from a "normal viewing distance" on 1080p doesn't mean there is no difference. Marques did a video on this not too long ago
Yeah the design looks ugly, I like the Nexus 5 design way better.
This and the iPhone 6 Plus and Note 4 were the OG for me lol. 1st time I wanted tech 2014!
I'm still on this beast. Love it.
Not as good as I was expecting for a Nexus 6. Too big, too expensive...
The Nexus 5 is better.
not really
better display better camera better specs better build quality etc
Well to be fair, the only reason we're calling it "expensive" is because the Nexus 5 was so cheap. Of course it's unfortunate that they made it more expensive, but compared to the competition it's not outrageous. I agree about the size though. I don't think it's unusable, but they're definitely pushing it.
It's £120 pounds cheaper than its direct competitor the note 4. Is that expensive? No.
Are you saying 200 dollars isn't that mcuh?
Darklight2360 no, I'm saying the nexus 6 isn't expensive for what you get. Especially when you compare it to the note 4.
What is that Strange noise in background from 10:30 to 11:30??
The thing I think is hilarious is that I just watched this video and noticed at 5:17 that I have almost all the same apps on my phone as you do. Not that big of a coincidence, but still, I found it amusing.
Turning down the screen brightness really low which turn the screen pink is actually a feature under setting, display, adaptive display. You can turn it off which make the pink screen go away.
For me, nexus 5's design was a lot better. 6 is too big for me. Ima look forward to the next nexus.
Also das Rutschen is mir auch aufgefallen. Man kann das hoffentlich mit ner Schutzhülle korrigieren. Lege mein N5 auch immer auf den Tisch und schreibe dann und es rutscht auch nicht und dreht sich wild umher :D
Ich mein es ist einfach ein großes Moto X mit Stock Android ...Mit nem großen Akku, der aber die vielen Pixel auf dem Quad HD Display nicht genügend versorgen kann, wie er schon sagte.
Im Endeffekt liegt mir darin kein Mehrwert es mir zu holen und ich bleibe beim "guten alten N5"...
Auf jeden Fall eins der besten Reviews *****
It's good that it goes Salmon pink when the brightness is turned down, blues keep the brain activated and stop you feeling sleepy.
Its been six years but the beast always a beast
What was that awesome game being played at 8:44?
I love phablets.
Hey Marques,
your reviews really help me discover the cons and the pros of each ohone's but i want you to do a comparison of a few phone's in one video
Hey bro. Thanks for always coming in with supreme reviews. One question tho, is the Note 4 camera better in I.Q. when indoors?
