Clearing up a few Nexus 6 concerns
- Thread starter pc747
- Start date
I am still in for a Nexus 6, I wouldn't pay $849 for an iPhone 6 + to get a slightly better camera. The camera is the last function I care about on these devices. The Nexus 6 is better than the Nexus 5, and I am happy with the Nexus 5. Now, if I could only order one from At&t I would be happy.
+1 to the above, especially the removable battery versus water/dust. Z3V isn't a removable battery. In fact in order to be "waterproof", all case openings are covered with tethered slot doors with gaskets, even the headphone jack.
Ok, looks as if I am going to have to eat my words. Feel free with the "I told you so". Well we were almost there, but if you buy a nexus from Google then you are free to go wherever.

Wait, I think you need to add Motorola to that list of sources to purchase from. You can also purchase it directly from Motorola, and it should be able to be activated on ANY carrier as well...
i would think so but the article i post stated otherwise. We will have to wait for people who bought their devices from motorola to find out the answer.
I see you're right on that point, in that Motorola bought phones aren't automatically able to be "activated" on ALL of the major carriers, however apparently at least Verizon is an exception to that list... The chart says no, but the instructions (put your sim card in and it will work), says yes...
See below;

Thankfully, Big Red only whitelists devices at the customer service level. It doesn't do so at the network level. That means that if you have an already-activated SIM card, you should be able to put it into any Nexus 6, regardless of place of purchase, and have it work just fine on your Verizon line of service. Just keep in mind that your phone will show up as "Non-VZW Device" in Verizon's system and thus, changing plans, getting a new SIM card, and other account changes will probably require a visit to a Verizon store or a call to customer care.
Has there even been any confirmation that Lollipop would run in 64bit on say the Exynos Note 4?
64bit only helps in situations where you need serious number crunching like games and post processing of photos. Maybe 2016 will usher in the need for 64bit for tablets. I still don't see it being necessary in phones even by then.

Loved my nexus 4 and was going to upgrade to 6 when it came out, but then it came out! Not paying that much or buying a phone that big. Wish Google had a policy of producing phones in a range of sizes that showcased android...
As for now, my Sony z3 compact is a very good nexus 4 replacement (even to the point that the back is just as vulnerable!)
