MOTOROLA NEXUS 6

   Considered the Motorola flagship, the nexus 6 was met with wide spread criticism upon its announcement but thankfully it has surpassed all expectations, At first glance it simply looks like an over sized moto x 2014 and most users had expected a brand new design but the disappointment soon dissipated as it was nothing like the Moto x The Nexus 6 is a well crafted phone, it feels great to hold, and has an elegant yet sporty design thanks to the slightly rounded back and the width decreases from top to bottom.
     That being said, we must not forget that the Nexus 6 is extremely large. Even the galaxy note 4 could easily be hidden behind it. The phone is definitely not great for people with small hands, and even someone with larger hands and longer digits must take a long time to get used to it. Easy tasks like reading my news feeds and emails could be done with one hand, but everything required two. This should be clear to all those who are considering buying the Nexus 6, but It was actually quite surprised at how quickly people became accustomed to its large size. Compared to the new arrival, the Nexus 5 appeared almost measly.
     A second point of criticism: the raised stereo speakers unfortunately provide enough spaces for dust particles and dirt, and I felt that fingers didn’t really slide that ergonomically over the display, as was the case with the Nexus 5. There was always a bit of resistance. To be more precise about this problem is difficult, but when using both devices simultaneously, the difference was definitely there. This issue, though small, couldn’t be left untold, though I wouldn’t go as far as to say that swiping on the Nexus 6 keyboard didn’t work problem free either. On the plus side, the Nexus 6 is more resistant to fingerprints, unlike the Nexus 5 where this was a real pesky problem,
   In my opinion though a great phone, the nexus 6 isn't for me and i would not recommend it for anyone.
