With so many options for android, stock is the best way to go. I've compared this phone to several others, and this one performed the best. No added gimmicks, no bloatware, just plain old stock android! Some might argue it's just an over sized Moto X 2014, but they would be wrong. Some might say it's just a big phone with no options, but they too would be wrong. Some people just don't understand a quality device, and may be caught up in what they read before ever trying this phone.
Android 5.0 is what the Nexus 6 ships with, and it is by far the best part of the phone with some hiccups here and there. Smooth animations, very fast and fluid performance throughout the entire operating system. There are some issues I do have though, and that's a force close on a couple of apps. Cloud print, and Chrome Web browser! This has been the only issue I could say bother me about this phone, which could easily be a glitch in the software. (An update will fix that later) I suggest you disable cloud print, and use another browser in you can not desk with the chrome issues. Call quality (HD); gaming; web browsing; texting; emails; music and videos; all work well on the Nexus 6. There were no issues at all, except a force close here and there as noted on the chrome browser.
As for the price! $649 for the 32GB, and $699 for the 64GB. I suggest getting the 64GB, as it's only $49 more to double the memory. With no expansion slot, you really should get the higher memory option. For most people though, 32GB is enough! Of the 32gb you get about 25gb for you, about 55gb with the 64gb model. So to me, it is priced just right. When it was announced, people immediately said it was too high in price, and they were not buying it. Well if you look at any iPhone, old or new, they are all overpriced and offer less. But people did not really complain, and purchased anyway. Yes this Nexus cost nearly twice as much as the previous nexus devices, but to me it's worth every penny. It offers all of that one could ask for in a nexus device. Power under the good; great build quality; great sound from dual front firing speakers; beautiful 5.96 inch quad HD screen; turbocharging; and the list could go on. Some subjective, some not subjective.
There plenty of options to purchase. Motorola, Google Play, or carriers. So I would say just think of quality, when you decide to purchase the nexus. Because it is every bit of that, inside and out. It packs the best specs that you can get today, and it's still priced lower than several other so called 'flagship' devices on the market today. Overall, I would recommend you pick up the Nexus 6 if you are in the market for a larger device, with superior specs and performance by today's standards.
