Great comparison! It is what is needed! You have two devices that are specific to their OS. The battle between iOS and Android is laughable. Both have advantages and disadvantages. But the disadvantages in both hardware and software are much more with iPhone 6+ and iOS. The first thing that stood out in the comments I've read was that the iOS ecosystem is better. No evidence of that when you look at what the Android ecosystem has versus iOS. Email - Android has the simple ability to send a variety of attachments in a single email or a reply email. iOS still cannot. Tap & Pay - Google Wallet has been available and used by merchants since 2011. This ability just became available in 2014 on iOS with the iPhone 6. Google Wallet even has a debit card with NFC they offer their customers for free. Google Music, Movies & TV - No different from iTunes that works across different devices like tablets and Chromecast. Chromecast is easier to use than Apple TV. Google Hangouts - Comparable to iMessage Google Plus - Google's social network that brings the best of Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. Nothing like this exists with Apple. Photos, Picasa, Newsstand, RUclips, Google Search/Cards, Google Maps and Chrome. Most of these are being used on iOS. Need I go on? The Nexus 6 is water resistant. The build quality is sturdier and that has been proven in several comparisons. Like of the look is subjective to the individual. The iPhone does have better battery life, but is under powered in comparison to the Nexus. You have a higher resolution screen, 3 times more RAM a higher res camera, more abilities with Bluetooth, NFC & Wi-Fi (list is ridiculous and there are things iPhone cannot do). More powerful device, less battery life. Makes sense. This review compares two devices that are in their weight class. The Note 4 is great! But not in the same weight class. The Touchwiz overlay and S Pen make it a niche device. The Nexus and the iPhone are pure versions of their OS, unmodified. With apps, you can duplicate most of the Note 4's abilities except for the pulse sensor, S Pen and fingerprint. Multitasking has been replicated with LG. No doubt the Note 4 has the better camera. Fanboys will chime in on this comparison regardless.
***** Not the point of the comparison other than for you to take an unnecessary snipe at the device to plug your love for the device. Samsung Note 4 will sell because of the level of advertising and Samsung popularity. Not because it has better build quality or performs better, which it has neither. If the Nexus was being promoted at the same level as an iPhone or a Samsung device, it would top out the Note 4. The Note 4 is riding on its popularity and minor improvements over the last. These are the same things that make iPhone a continued success. That doesn't make it better. Just asking that people use their common sense when they read this articles. A strong following doesn't make a device the best. Yes. Samsung will make their money because the popularity of their device will drive people to buy. But again, not relevant to the article. Happy you are a devoted Samsung fan! ☺
***** I'm an expert in the business the telecom business and get to deal with all the devices hands on. The reviews rave about the features about the device. But they also talk about poor build quality, how out dated Touchwiz is, over saturation of the photos of Samsung, single back facing speaker and the common known lag performance to expect from it too. There are other devices that are better performers than the Note 4. Most of the Lumia series devices, Oppo, One Plus One and HTC M8. Even the Moto X is a better performer. Cramming a boat load of features into a device doesn't mean better. Advertise a device and re-release the same device with a medal frame doesn't make it the best. It is like saying that Hyundai is better than BMW because they sell more cars by the shear volume of different models they release and cram them with features. Build quality is far less and there are performance issues, but I'm going to accept it because it has a lot of features and everyone has one. Follow the status quo. Do you. I'm going to sit over here with the logical and the objective. Again, I'm happy you're such a fanatic of Samsung, I mean fan. I'm not here to debate. I can debate. But I'm here to compliment on a good comparison of these two devices.
I have to disagree, i'll link one photo I took on my Nexus 6, i can show more if you want. plus.google.com/u/0/103038265003105942247/posts/NDfyDXx6nxA?pid=6104035865307032594&oid=103038265003105942247
I personally dont see the hype in Iphone photos. they look great when viewed from the phone but once you put it in a bigger screen, you'll see it's actually quite noisy and artificially sharpened.
Nexus 6 camera looks really great on social media. Thing is, when it comes to editing photos you could start seeing the difference. iPhone have a much better image processing system. I took a lesser amount of time editing iPhone 6+ pictures compared to the Nexus 6. Guess not many people does editing huh?
Adryan Tang van Rijin The Nexus 5 had the best camera of any Nexus. It was amazing! I got some great shots out of it! But Motorola cameras are notoriously BAD all around! I never had a Motorola phone with a good camera... I agree that the iPhone editing software is really really good, I get good results with it, but most of the time I don't even need to use it the images are good enough on their own. Yes, I'd like to see the iPhone get a higher megapixel camera, but I can live with the current one in exchange for good image quality and easy camera application.
I enjoy your videos Beau, however I was a little surprised when I read the title of this video. I am in no way an iphone user of any kind, you couldnt give me a iphone 6+ 128gig for free if I had to use it as my daily driver for an extended period of time. My Daily driver is a Note 4 on T-Mobile. I am going to take the devils (isheep) advocate here and do what I can to point out a few rebuttals for each of your 12 reasons why a Nexus 6 is better than an Iphone 6 plus. 1. It could be argued that the IPS 1080p panel on the Iphone is better than the Nexus 6. less pixels means less battery draw, and the IPS panel would lead to more accurate color reproduction. Thats without getting into the " you cant see anything higher than the retina display on the iphone " argument 2. " visually stunning operations system " Is a matter of opinion. It could be argued that iOS is more visually pleasing 3...... I got nothin, front facing speakers are the bees knees 4. No one else uses my phone, I dont need a guest user mode 5. Matter of opinion, someone might like the iOS notification manager 6. spending 4 minutes of research, if you use the apple 12W charger, it charges the 6+ from dead to 100% in 2 hours. It takes the Nexus 6, 1.89 hours to charge from dead to 100% using the fast charger. Mere minutes separate the charge times here 7&8. iOS is a more efficient and better coded operating system and doesn't need lots of ram or CPU horsepower to perform well 9. anyone who knows anything about cameras, knows that there is a lot more to a photo than its megapixels. The iphone 6 plus is simply a better camera than the Nexus 6, minus the fact it cant record in 4k, It could be argued that 4k doesnt matter, so few people have the proper equipment to enjoy 4k. Other than that, its hardware and software is simply better 10. see 9 ^ 11. matter of opinion, The iphone 6 plus is smaller and could be argued that it is easier to handle 12. eh, got me here. price. With all that said, I would take the Nexus 6 over the iphone 6 plus anyday, and the Note 4 over that ( which is why its my daily driver). This was my list of educated and other side of the fence thinking of this video. Hopefully pointing out why vidoes like this aren't the best. I look forward to your reply Beau.
You didn't successfully rebuttal 4,5,7 or 8 really: Just dismissing useful features because you don't personally use them doesn't count as a valid rebuttal. And since it can be proven that Nexus 6 notifications have more features, simply saying that some people still like iPhone 6+'s despite that isn't a valid rebuttal either. Also, saying that iOS is more 'opitmized' means nothing when considering that it has WAY less features and functionality yet runs no more fluidly than the Nexus 6.
Dude the Nexus 6 takes stunning photos, way better than the Iphone anything, I was in vacation in Oregon and took some amazing photos, would you like to see them. I'm sorry but they crush the iphones camera in any way.
I just got my Nexus 6 last week and love it. At first I thought I wouldnt like it because of its size, but I got used to it pretty quick. My sister is on her 3rd iPhone 6 due to it taking crap twice. Both times the screen would turn red and wouldnt turn on.
The Nexus 6 is a HTC one m8 or moto x 2014 on steroid. The HTC one m8 was the best phone I've ever owned but the Nexus 6 is on another level. Love it, just love it!!
I think of my nexus 6 as batman. Because it doesn't particularly have anything special about it like other devices tend to do. And by special I mean meaningless features that get put into phones to make them appear powerful. It's just the phone and the os, and that's it. Yet it runs good and it has high quality. That's what makes it super special. :)
to be fair the iphone 6 plus also has the iBending feature, and like every apple product has a ton of money spent on marketing, so you can be cool like justin bieber
1:09 "Material Design is the name of Google's new Operating System that uses visual , motion and interactive design across the entire operating system" -_-
I disagree on the looks of lollipop because that's subjective... and the ergonomic depends because on a table the nexus is uncomfortable and anyways these are big devices and they're normally used with two hands so I guess it shouldn't skip form both hands
Adelizine514 me too ive been looking at the lumia 1520 for a few months now but its over a year old,so im waiting to see its succesor.i havea iphone6 plus i kinda want to try the windows eco system
Both are great phones. Each appeal to certain types of people. For me it's the Nexus 6, which I own. I like having control over the look and customizability of Android. Although I did start as a iPhone user with the 3G S.
4K is nice but it's still out of range for most people's budgets once it comes down in price the reason that gave a win to the nexus 6 will be more meaningful. I agree with the ergonomic designs making the nexus 6 better though
So I hardly ever comment on youtube but I really felt compelled to after watching this. I have both devices on Verizon, have had almost every top notch device that has came out year by year, HTC One M8, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3 (I am sick of Samsung honestly) and my first IOS device is a 6+....I will use the Iphone more then the Nexus on a day to day basis since I had the Nexus....No Advanced calling 1.0 so I can't use voice and data at the same time (thanks Verizon) and even with all the bells and whistles under the hood the HTC One M8 was a smoother device...I get lag all the time with the Nexus.....Don't get me wrong, it is a stunning device but after a Jailbreak of IOS the Iphone is also a great device that is plenty capable of going toe to toe with the best from Android....Sorry, that's my 2 cents
Why iPhone never leave in Top 5 Best Mobile in the world? "The iPhone didn't only become a hit. It single-handedly defined what a modern smartphone should look and feel like.".. If weren't for Apple i don't know what will our phones today will look like.. so for robots, isheeps let's not fight for this haha
I like both phones but what makes the Nexus stand out for me is the much bigger screen on a very similar sized phone, more ergonomic design, and 5.1 lollipop is smooth like butter... But this is all a matter of personal opinion of course
wblanco329 That Coward is not going to make a list..because it simply not possible... Even Tim Cook can't count 100 reasons.... Darth Shada is stupid apple fan boy who thought commenting something like this will make him looks cool
had my nexus 6 for a month and chromecast, google wallet, wireless charging are finally making android feel premium. although not a fan of "material design" or the seemingly random color schemes google uses for messaging and contacts.
Prediction: 12 reasons why the iPhone 6 is better than the Nexus 6 doesn't come out. It would just be him like, "Uh, not sure why i did this, there are no reasons why the iPhone is better, seeya next time!"
1 Reason Why 12 Reasons Aren't Needed - Phones are personal, period. Much like pillows, mattresses, automobiles, shoes, I could go on and on. There are few things we purchase that personal preferences are not taken into account and EVERY review or "reason list" is done by people, and people are bias either consciously or unconsciously. The best "anything" is what is best for you. Trial and Error is still the best way to decide pretty much anything. And with all due respect, one 6 inch phone isn't better than another 6 inch phone if at best you can hold is a 5 inch phone.
Honestly, it's to each their own. I will say, after the 5.0.1 update, my battery life on the nexus 6 increased dramatically. The thing also has a killer display, incredible google integration, and stock android which in my opinion is the cleanest, smoothest, most polished os to date. And with the multitude of cloud storage options, who really cares about internal storage? IOS, while smooth and seamless, is relatively lackluster and dated. Stock android+latest updates+incredible hardware and specs= one of, if not the best smartphone of 2014. I'm an android fanboy, sue me, it's pretty funny to see people raging though haha.
I miss Phonedog, the Phonedog we had 2-3 years ago. It was professional and un-biased. And to be honest Arron was an adult and he always came into his videos with Professionalism and he made them exciting. This is now Hipsterdog.
The video is pointless. They are obvious differences between the two. Having a high Rez display is pointless and wastes battery. Both phones are in their on respects good. In my opinion it is a waste of footage. And time on the reviewers part. I believe this video was made solely on the fact that there is nothing to review atm. And you're just making videos. I like Phonedog but it's not as good as it could be. And maybe people agree. Thanks for the reply.
+phonedog I am using nexus 6 since a month. I love these couple of features Speakers. Resolution and quality pure ultra hd display on home screen or while using any other app. Camera 13mp Video recording with 4k hd No lags .uninterrupted performance and lollipop is just so sweet. We can use third party app to enchance the performance Example. Themes on lollipop Connect ps3 controller to nexus 6 unlike ios 8 or lower wont support ps3 controller 3gb ram where 6 plus has 1gb. In india Nexus 6 supports airtel 4g unlike iphone 6 plus in india it wont support 4g network
1. It has Android 2. It has Android 3. It has Android 4. It has Android 5. It has Android 6. It has Android 7. It has Android 8. It has Android 9. It has Android 10. It has Android 11. It has Android 12. It has Android
Mike Wewerka 1. Only possible for people who side-load apps from untrusted sources, installing it without reading the app permissions, and giving it root access. (Breaking three security guards in a row = SMART!) Honestly, how many security breaches (possible and already happened) have you heard on Android compared to iOS last year. I could name a few on Apple due to poor coding. 2. Honestly, there are exclusives on each platform, since the users are different. I can make a counter argument that iOS just got apps that was already present on Android from 4 years ago, and that they are still not as feature rich. There are still lots of Android exclusives that has not made it into the iPhone. 3. Better? Only one I can think of is Google+, and that's only because you can slide through the comments on each post without going into it. The rest are fairly equal. 4. No longer is the case. Camera software needs improvement, but the camera itself is decent 5. Nope, it takes 2. Quick Settings > Settings Also, it is possible to change the settings within the app t self. Don't have to exit the app, go to settings, change it, go back to the app, evaluate changes, and repeat. 6. How is knowing something bad? 7. Those are optional. iOS has them too, but only Apple ones. 8. Not really. iOS has limited multitasking capabilities. As for browsing: I can scroll through web pages faster with a flick instead flicking several times on Safari. Game FPS has to do with the massive difference in screen resolution. RAM as nothing to do with performance, only multitasking capabilities. Also, "regardless of horsepower" just shows ignorance 9. It looks better naked. (Subjective, obviously!) There are more cases out there than you think. 10. Name one. The Crustacean case don't count! 11. Yet, it will still retain usability and up-to-date OS after 4 years due to the large developer support and custom roms. So, not much reason to sell it for quite a while. 12. Android is open. Not a illusion. If you want, go check out the source code on GitHub.
Verizon never gave a shit about nexus phones. Just look at what they did to the galaxy nexus. The only way to get one on Verizon is getting one off contract (like off the Play Store) and activating it.
Really!...well now on the down side..nexus screen have shitty yellow tint and yeah it also gets hot while just browsing..do you want me to go on mate..
+IAm Shan not sure why or where u got you got your nexus 6 maybe a chinese knock off since u sound like a broke ass chump. MY nexus 6 doesn't have a yellow tint or get to warm . i think u are trying to superimpose the 810 for the 805, but whatever... and mate u can go on... u sound like caitlynn jenner boi !
I have both of these phones. This video is very good, but a lot of it is about straight up spec comparison, and Apple would almost never win that battle against ANY other truly premium phone. Apple has always done a great job of getting the max from inferior specs, but there's no telling how much of that is hardware and how much is software...probably both. While I don't exactly disagree with the conclusion of this video (Nexus better than iPhone 6 Plus), I have found real world, day-to-day use of these two phones to be very even, if not similar, in execution. After only 5 weeks of using both, I cannot pick a winner, but I really like the extra size and pixel density of the Nexus screen, the power charging, the camera, the pure Android, and other features, it matters to me that the Apple build is far superior, more premium. However, I got the Nexus on sale for $500 and paid $850 for the iPhone. With that consideration thrown in, and given the overall strength of the phone, I'd keep the Nexus if I sold one off.
i have an iPhone 6 and i love it. but the nexus line has always impressed me and this one looks amazing. the only thing i don't like is the curved back and the color of the back. if it was all black it would be awesome. hopefully lollipop looks more consistent throughout because as much as android improves and looks prettier because lets face it it is usually ugly as fuck, it always feels kinda bootleg looking to me. lollipop does look promising though!
Both of these devices are big for nothing. No special multi tasking features like the samsung note 4. I would really like to see the 6 plus get some features like that.
Next video should be 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 reasons why the note 4 is better then any phone released to the public to date.
Maybe. I mean its a nice device but like all samsung devices the cancerous touchwiz will slow down the phone. A GPE note 4 would be the best phone out there.
androidunderground40 Maybe it would, personally i dont really like TW, but its gotten better over the years, and i love all the multi-tasking features and the s-pen features, witch would be lost if it was stock android(if im not mistaken). So personally, just because of those features i would pick a note 4 with TW over a GPE phone (almost) any-day. :)
He said that the processor on the nexus 6 has more processing power that the iPhone? What? Totally lies iPhone has 64-bit enabled processor it scores better. I can't with this ignorant people ugh
As a die hard Apple fan they are just moving way to slow for me, the 6S better be awesome or I can't believe I'm going to Android, goodies are getting way to awesome for me too resist 😢
Anything above 1080 is just stupid. Amoled does have advantage because you can only power the individual pixels you need to save battery, I don't know why Google don't want to exploit it to full extent in their software.
If you're gonna make another video defending the iPhone, then you shouldn't call these videos "Reasons X is better than Y", given that you're not concluding that one is better than the other. Instead, you should call it something like "Ways in which X is better than Y"
androidunderground40 I'm smart enough to realize that, but the video title is still inaccurate. The Nexus 6 is not inherently better than the iPhone 6, because there will be a video saying the exact opposite thing. Then why claim that it is better? This is dishonest IMO.
Nexus 6 is a phone that could of been the last phone I'd ever own....but that Goddamn shitty-ass battery life ruined every chance I had of owning this phone. Pissess me the fuck off! I like big phones and I have absolutely no intentions of Ever buying another Samsung and Mr. Lag all-day touchwiz! My current Note 2 has a number attached for how much longer I'll be owning this phone. Unless someone has a suggestion for a big phone with excellent battery life and doesn't lag, my next phone will be the Droid Turbo.
Number one reason it doesn't run ios
Number 2 it's not an iphone
Lol true.
Number 3 fuck iphone
David Esposito Let me understand this. So, you like iPhone for the brand name, no? Am I ok? You're argument such, even if it's joke-like
Paolo Mendoza I don't like apple you obviously didn't read correctly the other 2 people got it
Great comparison! It is what is needed! You have two devices that are specific to their OS. The battle between iOS and Android is laughable. Both have advantages and disadvantages. But the disadvantages in both hardware and software are much more with iPhone 6+ and iOS.

Email - Android has the simple ability to send a variety of attachments in a single email or a reply email. iOS still cannot.
Tap & Pay - Google Wallet has been available and used by merchants since 2011. This ability just became available in 2014 on iOS with the iPhone 6. Google Wallet even has a debit card with NFC they offer their customers for free.
Google Music, Movies & TV - No different from iTunes that works across different devices like tablets and Chromecast.
Chromecast is easier to use than Apple TV.
Google Hangouts - Comparable to iMessage
Google Plus - Google's social network that brings the best of Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. Nothing like this exists with Apple.
Photos, Picasa, Newsstand, RUclips, Google Search/Cards, Google Maps and Chrome. Most of these are being used on iOS. Need I go on?
The Nexus 6 is water resistant. The build quality is sturdier and that has been proven in several comparisons. Like of the look is subjective to the individual.

***** Agreed.
Jay Woolridge well said comparison!
I just don't see iOS making the strides that android has to really push things further.
How about LG g3 vs nexus 6???
Agree with everything but the camera reasons. Love Nexuses and all, but the iPhones have sharper and clearer images almost everytime.
Been proven wrong
I have to disagree, i'll link one photo I took on my Nexus 6, i can show more if you want.

You forgot wireless charging. Works on all carriers including METRO PCS & US CELLULAR. Not to mention SCREENCAST & NFC.

1. It could be argued that the IPS 1080p panel on the Iphone is better than the Nexus 6. less pixels means less battery draw, and the IPS panel would lead to more accurate color reproduction. Thats without getting into the " you cant see anything higher than the retina display on the iphone " argument

Other than that, its hardware and software is simply better
10. see 9 ^
11. matter of opinion, The iphone 6 plus is smaller and could be argued that it is easier to handle
12. eh, got me here. price.
With all that said, I would take the Nexus 6 over the iphone 6 plus anyday, and the Note 4 over that ( which is why its my daily driver). This was my list of educated and other side of the fence thinking of this video. Hopefully pointing out why vidoes like this aren't the best. I look forward to your reply Beau.
Great points Sean Williams. We will be doing the rebuttal video soon from the iPhone 6 Plus side.
You didn't successfully rebuttal 4,5,7 or 8 really: Just dismissing useful features because you don't personally use them doesn't count as a valid rebuttal. And since it can be proven that Nexus 6 notifications have more features, simply saying that some people still like iPhone 6+'s despite that isn't a valid rebuttal either.

ZettabyteGamer Did you use RAW? I think that feature also makes the Nexus 6 camera better as well.
I disagree though....iPhone 6 takes better photos than nexus 6
Nexus 6 just has more mega pixels but in terms of quality , iPhone win hands down
I just got my Nexus 6 last week and love it. At first I thought I wouldnt like it because of its size, but I got used to it pretty quick.
My sister is on her 3rd iPhone 6 due to it taking crap twice. Both times the screen would turn red and wouldnt turn on.
Great job! One of the best review/comparisons I've watched thus far.
Thanks!
Have you disabled the encryption on the nexus 6? I can see it's faster than usual..
The Nexus 6 is a HTC one m8 or moto x 2014 on steroid. The HTC one m8 was the best phone I've ever owned but the Nexus 6 is on another level. Love it, just love it!!
Very true! I can't wait for the new HTC M9. Gimme some improved specs and keep the same old build quality and I'm sure I'll love it. :)
I think of my nexus 6 as batman. Because it doesn't particularly have anything special about it like other devices tend to do. And by special I mean meaningless features that get put into phones to make them appear powerful. It's just the phone and the os, and that's it. Yet it runs good and it has high quality. That's what makes it super special. :)
to be fair the iphone 6 plus also has the iBending feature, and like every apple product has a ton of money spent on marketing, so you can be cool like justin bieber
Come on, no other phone has anything on the nexus. That phablet size screen with front facing speakers, stock android, monstrous specs. I have spoken!

"Material Design is the name of Google's new Operating System that uses visual , motion and interactive design across the entire operating system"
-_-
I disagree on the looks of lollipop because that's subjective... and the ergonomic depends because on a table the nexus is uncomfortable and anyways these are big devices and they're normally used with two hands so I guess it shouldn't skip form both hands
Here's the rebuttal to this video! 12 reasons why the iPhone 6 Plus is better than the Nexus 6: ruclips.net/video/vzPbfJJyviM/видео.html
I dont like apple. I personally want a new windows 10 phone (when one comes out that is)
Adelizine514 me too ive been looking at the lumia 1520 for a few months now but its over a year old,so im waiting to see its succesor.i havea iphone6 plus i kinda want to try the windows eco system
spagoo69 microsoft took lumia phones and they could maybe change their name so better look on microsoft phones :)
Both are great phones. Each appeal to certain types of people. For me it's the Nexus 6, which I own. I like having control over the look and customizability of Android. Although I did start as a iPhone user with the 3G S.
im just confused about how you kept the phones upright without making them fall as you were tapping the screens
The Nexus is not "ergonomic" when you put It on a table, the Nexus spins like a tornado when try use it, and the nexus 6 is a thick phone.
4K is nice but it's still out of range for most people's budgets once it comes down in price the reason that gave a win to the nexus 6 will be more meaningful. I agree with the ergonomic designs making the nexus 6 better though
Since Google made the nexus 6 available to carriers its impossible to get from the Google site. What's the point if you can't even buy the thing.
Phonedog is consistently 3 months behind their competing tech sites. Why?
Apple fanboys *RAGING* Below
We like the passion though.
***** do more
why did you get an iPhone?
iPhone user:" because its an iPhone!".
Camera zoom quality is NOT dependant on the screen resolution, it is dependant on the camera's resolution... Which is still higher on the nexus 6.
What about the Battery life for the nexus 6...you haven't talked about that... i heard it won't last a day??...
So I hardly ever comment on youtube but I really felt compelled to after watching this. I have both devices on Verizon, have had almost every top notch device that has came out year by year, HTC One M8, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3 (I am sick of Samsung honestly) and my first IOS device is a 6+....I will use the Iphone more then the Nexus on a day to day basis since I had the Nexus....No Advanced calling 1.0 so I can't use voice and data at the same time (thanks Verizon) and even with all the bells and whistles under the hood the HTC One M8 was a smoother device...I get lag all the time with the Nexus.....Don't get me wrong, it is a stunning device but after a Jailbreak of IOS the Iphone is also a great device that is plenty capable of going toe to toe with the best from Android....Sorry, that's my 2 cents
Why iPhone never leave in Top 5 Best Mobile in the world?
"The iPhone didn't only become a hit. It single-handedly defined what a modern smartphone should look and feel like.".. If weren't for Apple i don't know what will our phones today will look like.. so for robots, isheeps let's not fight for this haha
I really wanna change galaxy please tell what phone should I buy?!
Buy the Google Nexus 6.
The Nexus 6 is a outstanding device same goes to the iPhone 6 Plus too.
I like both phones but what makes the Nexus stand out for me is the much bigger screen on a very similar sized phone, more ergonomic design, and 5.1 lollipop is smooth like butter... But this is all a matter of personal opinion of course
The fact that the OS is open is the ultimate reason why its way better and not limited.
If only the Nexus 6 was actually available to purchase!
Next video: 100 reasons why the iPhone 6 Plus is better than the Nexus 6.
Just 12 :)
100 reasons.... i would love to know all them.. please make a list and comment here Darth Shada
Impossible
Raihan Patel lol actually I am actually curious too because the video mentioned all the essentials a good phone should have
wblanco329 That Coward is not going to make a list..because it simply not possible... Even Tim Cook can't count 100 reasons.... Darth Shada is stupid apple fan boy who thought commenting something like this will make him looks cool
had my nexus 6 for a month and chromecast, google wallet, wireless charging are finally making android feel premium. although not a fan of "material design" or the seemingly random color schemes google uses for messaging and contacts.
Prediction: 12 reasons why the iPhone 6 is better than the Nexus 6 doesn't come out. It would just be him like, "Uh, not sure why i did this, there are no reasons why the iPhone is better, seeya next time!"
I like Nexus series but I never had them, perhaps one day the hardware might get more people be interested.
"Material Design is the name of Google's new operating system"
- wot.
1 Reason Why 12 Reasons Aren't Needed - Phones are personal, period. Much like pillows, mattresses, automobiles, shoes, I could go on and on. There are few things we purchase that personal preferences are not taken into account and EVERY review or "reason list" is done by people, and people are bias either consciously or unconsciously. The best "anything" is what is best for you. Trial and Error is still the best way to decide pretty much anything. And with all due respect, one 6 inch phone isn't better than another 6 inch phone if at best you can hold is a 5 inch phone.
Honestly, it's to each their own. I will say, after the 5.0.1 update, my battery life on the nexus 6 increased dramatically. The thing also has a killer display, incredible google integration, and stock android which in my opinion is the cleanest, smoothest, most polished os to date. And with the multitude of cloud storage options, who really cares about internal storage? IOS, while smooth and seamless, is relatively lackluster and dated. Stock android+latest updates+incredible hardware and specs= one of, if not the best smartphone of 2014. I'm an android fanboy, sue me, it's pretty funny to see people raging though haha.
I miss Phonedog, the Phonedog we had 2-3 years ago. It was professional and un-biased. And to be honest Arron was an adult and he always came into his videos with Professionalism and he made them exciting. This is now Hipsterdog.
This is unbiased. We will be doing a video of the iPhone 6 Plus advantages next.
The video is pointless. They are obvious differences between the two. Having a high Rez display is pointless and wastes battery. Both phones are in their on respects good. In my opinion it is a waste of footage. And time on the reviewers part. I believe this video was made solely on the fact that there is nothing to review atm. And you're just making videos. I like Phonedog but it's not as good as it could be. And maybe people agree. Thanks for the reply.
***** please dont apple is pop
better hardware means better phone?
The other version of this will get downvoted to hell...
Haha it'll certainly be interesting to see...
+phonedog
I am using nexus 6 since a month.
I love these couple of features
Speakers.
Resolution and quality pure ultra hd display on home screen or while using any other app.
Camera 13mp
Video recording with 4k hd
No lags .uninterrupted performance and lollipop is just so sweet.
We can use third party app to enchance the performance
Example. Themes on lollipop
Connect ps3 controller to nexus 6 unlike ios 8 or lower wont support ps3 controller
3gb ram where 6 plus has 1gb.
In india Nexus 6 supports airtel 4g unlike iphone 6 plus in india it wont support 4g network

Mike Wewerka never had virus in my life of using an android device
Mike Wewerka loser isheep get a life

1. Only possible for people who side-load apps from untrusted sources, installing it without reading the app permissions, and giving it root access. (Breaking three security guards in a row = SMART!) Honestly, how many security breaches (possible and already happened) have you heard on Android compared to iOS last year. I could name a few on Apple due to poor coding.
2. Honestly, there are exclusives on each platform, since the users are different. I can make a counter argument that iOS just got apps that was already present on Android from 4 years ago, and that they are still not as feature rich. There are still lots of Android exclusives that has not made it into the iPhone.
3. Better? Only one I can think of is Google+, and that's only because you can slide through the comments on each post without going into it. The rest are fairly equal.
4. No longer is the case. Camera software needs improvement, but the camera itself is decent
5. Nope, it takes 2. Quick Settings > Settings
Also, it is possible to change the settings within the app t self. Don't have to exit the app, go to settings, change it, go back to the app, evaluate changes, and repeat.
6. How is knowing something bad?
7. Those are optional. iOS has them too, but only Apple ones.
8. Not really. iOS has limited multitasking capabilities. As for browsing: I can scroll through web pages faster with a flick instead flicking several times on Safari. Game FPS has to do with the massive difference in screen resolution.
RAM as nothing to do with performance, only multitasking capabilities.
Also, "regardless of horsepower" just shows ignorance
9. It looks better naked. (Subjective, obviously!) There are more cases out there than you think.
10. Name one. The Crustacean case don't count!
11. Yet, it will still retain usability and up-to-date OS after 4 years due to the large developer support and custom roms. So, not much reason to sell it for quite a while.
12. Android is open. Not a illusion. If you want, go check out the source code on GitHub.
Mike Wewerka out of all those reasons only reason 8 was valid
Will ***** EVER get the Nexus 6?
Nobody is buying them, so no. Haven't seen one in the wild at all.
Who cares?
I have one lol
Verizon never gave a shit about nexus phones. Just look at what they did to the galaxy nexus. The only way to get one on Verizon is getting one off contract (like off the Play Store) and activating it.
joemann7971 thanks for the info
a mi me sorprendio el video que esta en RUclips, de titulo: el iPhone que nunca salio a la venta
So far theres 116 APPLE ASS GOBBLERS
Don't forget wireless charging..
I like it more because it is an up to date smartphone :)
There's only one thing you left out.... It's the bow yeah take that Apple lol
$750 for a pathetic 16GB storage with no microSD expansion, that is.
32
FunziTimekido He means the iPhone 6 Plus
Absolutely ridiculous to see any manufacturer selling a high end phone with only 16GB of storage these days.
Really!...well now on the down side..nexus screen have shitty yellow tint and yeah it also gets hot while just browsing..do you want me to go on mate..
+IAm Shan not sure why or where u got you got your nexus 6 maybe a chinese knock off since u sound like a broke ass chump. MY nexus 6 doesn't have a yellow tint or get to warm . i think u are trying to superimpose the 810 for the 805, but whatever... and mate u can go on... u sound like caitlynn jenner boi !
Totally agree! Love my Nexus 6!
I have both of these phones. This video is very good, but a lot of it is about straight up spec comparison, and Apple would almost never win that battle against ANY other truly premium phone. Apple has always done a great job of getting the max from inferior specs, but there's no telling how much of that is hardware and how much is software...probably both. While I don't exactly disagree with the conclusion of this video (Nexus better than iPhone 6 Plus), I have found real world, day-to-day use of these two phones to be very even, if not similar, in execution. After only 5 weeks of using both, I cannot pick a winner, but I really like the extra size and pixel density of the Nexus screen, the power charging, the camera, the pure Android, and other features, it matters to me that the Apple build is far superior, more premium. However, I got the Nexus on sale for $500 and paid $850 for the iPhone. With that consideration thrown in, and given the overall strength of the phone, I'd keep the Nexus if I sold one off.
A video complimenting my nexus, so glad to open one
Own even
You forgot to add the micro SD storage
MP doesn't mean bigger camera. The iPhone 6 has the better camera.
The Nexus 6 battery life is shocking, call quality is shocking and camera is shocking. Not a lot else needs saying.
i have an iPhone 6 and i love it. but the nexus line has always impressed me and this one looks amazing. the only thing i don't like is the curved back and the color of the back. if it was all black it would be awesome. hopefully lollipop looks more consistent throughout because as much as android improves and looks prettier because lets face it it is usually ugly as fuck, it always feels kinda bootleg looking to me. lollipop does look promising though!
this phone is $250 now on amazon....
Agreed!
Instead of ding 12 reason why this phone is better than this phone. Why not do, "12 reason why I like this phone"
Nr 4 - you can do that on the iphone
13. It won't break if you drop it
14. It won't bend in your pocket
15. Its not made from recycled mountain dew cans
BillJr971 true
8 hours off a 15 minute charge? Hell nah
Actually thats true. It has a large battery so even with heavy use, it can last way over 24 hours without charge.
He didn't mean 8 hours of screen on time.
I liked the video before even watching it.
Both of these devices are big for nothing. No special multi tasking features like the samsung note 4. I would really like to see the 6 plus get some features like that.
Mine just died ;c
8 hours of use for 14min? xD mine wouldn't even last 4 hours of use with full charge (2 hours)
i have both these devices,nexus is better in speed and iphone 6 plus is better in camera,especially in the night mode
Lollipop ''visually stunning '' , I have to disagree. I've always found it visually dull.
Next video should be 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 reasons why the note 4 is better then any phone released to the public to date.
most applications do not work on the nexus 6 because of the high resolution, Unlike a iPhone 6
The dislikes are from apple fanboys lol.
Am i the only one that doesnt like the material design?
i got both and they are both awesome
RELEASE the apple fan-ginas!
Nexus fanboy since the start love the phones
Oh snap, iPhone just got wrecked!!!
12 reasons why orange is better that tomatoe
I'm from the future... the next iPhone will have a 12mp camera... still worse than the nexus 6 camera
To me, they a tie. Lol just being honest. Neither one can beat the Note 4. Lol nice try.
Maybe. I mean its a nice device but like all samsung devices the cancerous touchwiz will slow down the phone. A GPE note 4 would be the best phone out there.
androidunderground40 it would just be a nexus 6 with a Samsung logo because the nexus 6 and note 4 basically have the the same specs
androidunderground40 Maybe it would, personally i dont really like TW, but its gotten better over the years, and i love all the multi-tasking features and the s-pen features, witch would be lost if it was stock android(if im not mistaken). So personally, just because of those features i would pick a note 4 with TW over a GPE phone (almost) any-day. :)
note 4 doesnt have Lollipop tho. Lollipop is best mobile os hands down
Touchwiz has features that Stockandroid dont have(like to hide apps in the appdrawer and so on..)
In the end a smartphone is a smartphone
looks is opinion not fact. some might think that ios looks better. as odd as it may seem.
so your number 2 is crap
He said that the processor on the nexus 6 has more processing power that the iPhone? What? Totally lies iPhone has 64-bit enabled processor it scores better. I can't with this ignorant people ugh
Guess in the next video of "12 reasons why iPhone 6+ is better than Nexus 6" a lot of Nexus fanboys are going to get butt hurt. Haha.
As a die hard Apple fan they are just moving way to slow for me, the 6S better be awesome or I can't believe I'm going to Android, goodies are getting way to awesome for me too resist 😢
almost everything on this list was very one sided
Anything above 1080 is just stupid.
Amoled does have advantage because you can only power the individual pixels you need to save battery, I don't know why Google don't want to exploit it to full extent in their software.
Android OS, PERIOD.
Great Job!!
Thanks!
putting an iPhone against any phone is just not fair anymore for other phones. just makes them look bad :( and just push costumes to buy an iPhone.
If you're gonna make another video defending the iPhone, then you shouldn't call these videos "Reasons X is better than Y", given that you're not concluding that one is better than the other. Instead, you should call it something like "Ways in which X is better than Y"
If your smart you would know that he didn't state his opinion because isheep and fandroids would get butthurt
androidunderground40 I'm smart enough to realize that, but the video title is still inaccurate. The Nexus 6 is not inherently better than the iPhone 6, because there will be a video saying the exact opposite thing. Then why claim that it is better? This is dishonest IMO.
Nexus walks iPhone lol
this phone is $250 unlocked on amazon...

it's Android...more customizable and flexible..
Nexus 6 is a phone that could of been the last phone I'd ever own....but that Goddamn shitty-ass battery life ruined every chance I had of owning this phone. Pissess me the fuck off! I like big phones and I have absolutely no intentions of Ever buying another Samsung and Mr. Lag all-day touchwiz! My current Note 2 has a number attached for how much longer I'll be owning this phone. Unless someone has a suggestion for a big phone with excellent battery life and doesn't lag, my next phone will be the Droid Turbo.
screen real estate
Reason 1 - the Nexus 6 isn't made out of fucking tin foil.
Android >>> IOS
I love my nexus 6
