Well, all the announcements have been made. It looks like
the Nexus 6 will only be a larger-sized phone (no smaller option), and it doesn't appear to have wireless charging. It does have a turbo charge mode, though, that gets you six hours of battery life in 15 minutes, so that's pretty neat.
I'm mostly disappointed that it doesn't look like this phone will be sold the way the previous phones were. It looks like it'll either be sold on contract or you can pay a typical $650 for it unlocked. Perhaps that's because this is the first Nexus device that's actually a contender, specs-wise, and not a slightly older phone that they can make for cheap. Still, it looks like Google is going to keep their $350 Nexus 5 around a little longer and sell it alongside the 6. Strange.
Also released today:
Nexus 9: I prefer the smaller screen on the Nexus 7, actually. But it looks like a well made tablet and the keyboard accessory sounds good.
Android 5 Lollipop: This looks like a nice OS refresh. Clearly flat design is in these days. Looking forward to getting it on my phone, but I'm sure that'll take a while.
Nexus Player: I might actually be interested in swapping out my Sony Google TV for this. It looks like a good upgrade to the Google TV experience.
Still, I'm going to have to wait for Plex to be released for it, as Plex is the only non-Google app I use on my Google TV. Huzzah! Apparently Plex is on it. *edit* Woah now, it looks like the Nexus Player will not have HDMI pass-through. Do not like. */edit*
Overall it's sort of a mixed bag for me. I think the 6 is a very impressive phone, but it just doesn't do it for me. I think that if it were the new $350 Play Store phone, I'd probably jump on it, but at $650 or under contract it just doesn't appeal.
