Nexus 6by Google
PROS
- Nexus users are treated to the latest Android software updates before anyone else without fear of carriers getting in the way.
- The quad-HD AMOLED screen is good enough to make your tablet jealous.
- The design approach is similar to that of the rest of Motorola's line, and it's nothing to scoff at.
CONS
- The device is big--really big. Most people won't be able to use it with only one hand.
- The camera performs fine in situations with ample lighting but struggles in low light.
- For a phone this size, battery life should be extraordinary. It isn't. However, the phone ships with a Turbo Charger that charges the battery to six hours of life in only 15 minutes.

It takes two hands to properly operate the Nexus 6, but this Android phone feels better in my increasingly ambidextrous grasp for its size.

Going back to the Nexus 6 itself, its gigantic size puts it into the phablet category, but as a phablet, it lacks some additional enhancements to really make good use of the real estate it has to work with.

The Nexus 6 doesn't have terrible battery life, but it's definitely not as good as many similarly sized phones.

Android Lollipop couldn’t ask for a better showcase than the Nexus 6. I do wish that the software did a better job helping me manage a device this large, but the fundamental improvements to the already excellent notification system have made me more productive already.

We’re a big fan of front-facing speakers at the TrustedReviews offices and the Nexus 6 doesn’t disappoint. The distance between the speakers, thanks to that huge screen, means you get a decent stereo effect and their loudness impresses, too.

In a vacuum, the Nexus 6 is a pretty compelling device, particularly if you want something big. But the Nexus 6 doesn't live in a vacuum, particularly if you consider that what's supposed to make it special — the Nexus brand and what comes along with it — isn't quite as exclusive as it used to be.

Lollipop isn't just a coat of make-up, though. The fantastic new Smart Lockscreen feature has enabled me to protect my phone with a PIN, but also never have to enter it, since I can now set my phone to automatically unlock whenever it's near a trusted Bluetooth device like a smartwatch or one of the many speakers I have littered around my apartment.
In the past two weeks, I’ve had more close calls with this phone slipping out of my hand then I wish to count.
