The Nexus 6 was a phablet-sized Android smartphone released in 2014 by Motorola and Google. It was notable as one of the first phones with a large 6-inch display in a body that wasn’t too cumbersome.
Design and Display: The Nexus 6 had an all-plastic body that felt solid but wasn’t as premium as metal/glass phones of the time. It sported a massive 6-inch AMOLED display with a 2560×1440 resolution, which provided crisp images and vibrant colors. However, the large size made one-handed use difficult.
Performance: Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and 3GB of RAM, the Nexus 6 provided blazing fast performance for its time. It could handle everything thrown at it without lag or stutter. The Adreno 420 GPU also enabled smooth graphics.
Camera: The 13MP rear camera took good photos in favorable lighting but struggled in low light. The 2MP front camera was adequate for video calls.
Software: As a Nexus device, it received timely Android updates directly from Google and was one of the first to get Android 5.0 Lollipop. Stock Android provided a clean, lag-free experience.
Battery: The non-removable 3220mAh battery provided decent endurance for the large screen but most users wouldn’t get through a full day without charging. Turbo charging helped top it up quickly.

In summary, while the Nexus 6 pushed the size limits in 2014, it offered top-notch specs and software support. However, its massive proportions and average battery life were also potential downsides. For those wanting big screen media consumption on stock Android, it was a good option.

I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? Don’t underestimate the Force. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission.
