Google Nexus 6 Smartphone Review: Price, Specs, Pros and Cons You Need to Know

The Google Nexus 6 has a relatively large 5.96-inch display that beats almost all other
smartphones. A pixel density of 493 ppi adds helps display high-clarity picture quality. This
feature combined with a high resolution of 1440x2560 pixels places the phone in the class
of high-class smartphones and phablets with the most vivid displays. The 3GB RAM makes
it quite powerful and fast in processing multiple applications. This high-end smart phone
is further supported by a powerful battery that can also be charged through Qi wireless
charging technology.
The Nexus 6 may be available with large 32GB and 64GB storage capacities, but the lack of
storage expansion limits its capabilities. Besides, the phone doesn't have a removable battery.

It is available in two storage configurations - 32GB and 64GB without any expansion slots. It has 3GB of RAM.

phone is available with Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, US Cellular, and can be purchased
through Best Buy and Google Play Store as well.

company claims that a Wi-Fi calling function will be available with a future update 2015. It is
also one of the few Android devices that support wireless charging.
Conclusion:
The Google Nexus 6 easily competes against the likes of Samsung Galaxy S5 and iPhone 6, but
Google and Motorola could have done better by including a few more features. An expandable
storage capability, a replaceable battery, and probably a lighter build could have given it the
edge. Otherwise, the smart phone has some features that even the biggies could have trouble
competing with.
