I've only had the 6 up and running for about 3 hours and so far I prefer the Note 4, but this may change.
The battery life on the Nexus 5 wasn't good, I'm hoping that the 6's battery is going to be an improvement.

Battery won't be as good as Note 4 but definitely good enough especially over Nexus 5...

Wow!
Its extremely slippery, just ordered a case/stand from Amazon, until then I'm being very careful.
To make the battery last I'm turning airplane mode on when I'm not using it.
At the moment I'm using the Note 4 as my main contact.
Sent using my Nexus 6.

It's ashame you should have to put ANY of today's flagship devices in airplane mode simply to get longer battery life. [emoji19]

I've just discovered a battery saver shortcut toggle and have installed it onto my main screen.
There is a red border, top and bottom of the screen, to remind me that battery saver is on.

So no more airplane mode.

I've been giving it some today though and really caning the battery.

Except the screen resolution on the nexus 6 is quad HD so uses more battery life. Still I have had pretty good battery life on this thing.

Both the Note 4 and Nexus 6 are fantastic smartphones, you can't go wrong with either one. I chose the Note 4 for the stylus, the removable battery and great battery life, 32GB storage with expandable storage for up to an additional 128 GB, better camera, also can be used as a remote control for my setup box and TV. Nexus 6 is also fantastic if you can find one, lol.

No battery issues with my Note 4, this thing is a beast, it's like they energizer bunny commercial, plus you can replace the battery in 30 seconds if need be, which most likely will never happen. But just in case I got a pair of these, they work just fine, and give me piece of mind if I have to be out in the wilderness for more than a day without an outlet, yes more than a day.

The battery saver toggle on my Nexus 6 is earning it's keep.

After a full day with an hour on the net, one call lasting 5 minutes and half a dozen texts I still have 55% battery left.
Battery saver is on when its just sitting in my pocket and turned off when I use it.

 

[luddite]

On day 2 at 16:17 I still have 36% battery left.
The battery saver is doing it's thing.

Without it the battery cried enough after one day.

 

[bkdodger]

Nice.. I've never once used that saver.. Lol

The funda galaxy note 4 camera is a beast.The nexus 6 gets the job done funda galaxy A7,I have use it.

Does anyone know the function of the extra lens on the back of the 6 at the bottom ???
Perhaps it's to do with range finding for the autofocus function.
