Where did you read that?!?
Paul O'Brien from Modaco. Usually very reliable with info like this.
Possibly the best specced Nexus phone of all time (relative to competition at the time), and ironically it's the first in 4 generations that I won't be buying 
I don't know what I'm to do!
The phone I'm most excited about is the Sharp Aquos Crystal, just because it looks cool. Hope they make a GSM version.

I believe it has Moto X style active display.

Yup I know mate. Tough life lusting after Stock
. I think if something half decent comes out with S810 that I can flash to stock without too much effort it will be my next. I also might just try the Nexus 6 and see how I get on with it, but I found even the One+ to big You guys are really easily influenced aren't you? 
With Apple, Samsung and nvidia all moving onto ARMv8 the Nexus 6 is now last gen, no interest is this phone at all, especially with the jumbo sized display and resolution.
Would be more interested in the Galaxy S5 Plus, 1080p resolution but with Snapdragon 805, fastest Android phone on the market sadly.
This is what I think of most of the Nexus 6 specs.

Lol........
You do realise that the GS 5 + will still probably run like crap even compared to the n5 all because of the bloat samsung add The N5 is still the fastest and smoothest android phone (in real world usage) out today despite having "old gen" tech.
Give me software optimisation over hardware specs any day!
AFAIC, the only thing hardware specs do these days is offer extra epeen status.
The N5 camera has always been slated by most end users and pretty much every reviewer out there especially when it was first released (as the focus speed etc. was really slow)
It isn't the best camera out there but it also isn't the worse camera either. Personally I think it is a very good camera "overall".
I expect the N6 camera to be very good.

If you owned a Snapdragon 800 Galaxy S5 like me you would know that even with an 805 it would not be fast. Click an app, wait 2 seconds, then it loads. Scrolling through a webpage? Get ready for judder as it tries to catch up
You're underestimating the value of not having to go through a laggy bloated software layer. Other skins these days (HTC, Sony etc) have improved but Touchwiz is still a nightmare. Which is a shame because I think they have the best hardware.
What difference does it make if the architecture is older if the performance (the thing you notice) is better? I guarantee you even with an ARMv8 SOC the Galaxy S6 will be a laggy bloated mess (which I'll still buy.. sigh)

They released it with comments that the camera would improve with an update. When that update came the camera was lauded by reviewers.
I have tried the Galaxy S5 and I never noticed any lag, don't get me wrong the interface looks horrible though.
Your exaggerating, anyone can walk in the Samsung store and see that your talking nonsense.
Touchwiz has a bad rep, but latest revisions really are quite fast and yes Snapdragon 805 would make a difference, 3D performance would be a lot faster than the 1440p devices on the same SoC. Maybe not iPhone 6 performance but not far off.
No SoC can save the S5 - it's a pile of pap compared to the Nexus 5 let alone 6.
It's the whole experience that make a device great, not just bodging a few top components together and hoping for the best.
The Nexus 6 should be EPIC! With it only potential flaw being size.
Well it's currently late October, I would expect Snapdragon 810, newer revisions of Exynos 7 or similar devices to be out in numbers around July, maybe sooner, so the Nexus 6 has around 6 months before new devices make it look very old.
Money well spent id say.
I know there is always something new on the horizon but it isn't every year that we move over to new ARM CPU architecture and that is what we're currently doing.
More like every other device will look very old because the UI still looks like it came from 2012.
