Amidst the chaos of the Nexus-6 launch we test the new flagship Android smartphone lollipop. Here's our full in-depth review of the Nexus 6.As each device Nexus, Google has teamed up with a partner to make the Nexus 6. Following on from LG working on Nexus Nexus 4 and 5, the job was given to Motorola previously owned by Google before selling Lenovo them. Interestingly, Google chose HTC for its new tablet, the Nexus 9, perhaps because Motorola is not an option, it will not make any more tablet.
Previous Nexus devices offer outstanding value for money, undercutting rivals with similar hardware by a large amount. May even making Google a loss in sales to entice more people to Android. For whatever reason things are different now and the Nexus 6 is a huge jump in price compared to its predecessors.
The Nexus 4 launched at a bargain basement £ 239 (for the time) and the Nexus 5 was still a very affordable £ 299 hours of rotation will need much deeper [and larger !] pocket Nexus 6 starts at £ 499. this puts it in the same ballpark as the flagship devices from the likes of Sony, Apple, Samsung and HTC. £ 499 buying the base model, but if you want to double the storage you're looking at £ 549.
When the Nexus 6 is announced, Google said it would go up for pre-order and then go on sale in the UK in November. It never happened and despite retailers suggests release date of December 1, stock shortages meant delays across the board and at the time of writing many still do not know when it starts shipping. So many thanks to MobileFun for providing Nexus 6 for us to examine.
The 6in screen and higher price of Nexus 6 means it will cover not only the Nexus 5, and is not an obvious upgrade for existing owners. This means that it can name the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note 4 with its direct rivals. Both smartphones are more expensive starting at £ 619 and £ 599 respectively making the Nexus 6 looks like good value.
