No other phone has the rounded specs of the Nexus 6. Why look else where, every phone has a fault one way or another.

A note 4 with stock android would have very little in the way of faults though.

Got an S3 for free which I've just put cyanogenmod on, vast improvement over my desire HD. Not so desperate for a new phone now so will see how it goes with the encryption/performance issues on nexus 6.

Though if google refuse to make encryption optional and you need a custom ROM to do it that somewhat defeats the point of having the nexus 6.
 
these n6 issues that are being reported (battery life and stuttering due to encryption) are the same issues I'm having with my n9, really hoping a fix comes out soon, assuming there is a fix.
 
XDA have already fixed it for the Nexus 9 I believe, no ROM needed just a change to the fstab to make encryption optional before first boot iirc.

Not quite the same as google fixing it but pretty close, shouldn't be long until the same fix is available for the Nexus 6. Though hopefully google will optimise the encryption so disabling it isn't neccesary.
 
As mentioned I intend to purchase the Nexus 6 despite the current slow sequential read times that currently exist causing slow app (write) load times vs the Nexus 5 because I believe that the issue can be resolved successfully with a software update. Anyone else feel the same way?

but it doesn't come with stock android and many will take this on via a contract and be too worried to mod it.

I'm pretty sure the encryption will get addressed

I'll be moving up from a Nexus 4, so it'll probably still be faster!

I wonder if they'd have actually noticed the speed difference between the two if some numbers hadn't told them so.
 
I haven't watched any comparison video reviews yet so not sure how the slow performance affects general usage of the device.

As long as the browser and gmail doesn't lag then I'm OK. I don't use the camera much so if it's a poor performer it's not an issue.

I'm just looking forward to a good large OLED display with the front stereo speakers. Hate having to pull out the headphones when I want to watch something on the Note 3.
 
So whats the latest info on dates? Date it goes on sale in the UK, and the date its likely to ship?

I need a phone now really, but if its likely to be weeks/months then I may look elsewhere?
 
Last I've heard is 18th for pre order and around 1st Dec for delivery/in shops.

Looking at reddit people are reporting that their Nexus 6 has shipped, so it hopefully won't be any later than those dates. Only another 2-3 weeks to go.
 
There was a screen shot on the blogs today of Android 5.1 seen in a Dutch or Belgian location if memory serves. Says it is not a major upgrade but fixing bugs and quirks. Looks like Google will be wasting no time in addressing any Nexus issues.

Can only be a good thing. Got 5 on n5 from ota and seems OK so far.

Anandtech suggest the screen isn't very good

"Overall, the Nexus 6 display is quite poor relative to the displays on other smartphones like the Galaxy Note 4, iPhone 6, and HTC One (M7). It's also a definite regression from the display on the Nexus 5, which is concerning given the fact that the Nexus 6 is $300 more expensive."

I read that review, and many others who say its good.

Strange but I want to see and play with one before I order now.
