Introduction
Nexus 6 by Motorola marks a shift in market positioning for Google's
smartphone lineup. Whereas the duo of LG-made devices that precede it
cut back on certain features to stay attractively priced, the Nexus 6 is
ready to rub shoulders with the best in the Android realm. It is no
longer simply an Android reference phone, but a true Google flagship,
both on paper and in person.
Motorola Nexus 6 has a special place
in the history of Google's smartphone family. The 6" phablet development
took place during Google's ownership of Motorola (the storied
manufacturer became a Lenovo company several days ago), so it is as pure
in philosophy as it is in terms of OS.
Rumors about a Nexus smartphone by Motorola began to circulate as
soon as Google finalized its acquisition of the manufacturer back in
2012. It has been over two years since the deal took place, but, we must
admit, it looks like the wait for the handset was well worth it.
Motorola Nexus 6 is brimming with the best hardware available for
Android today, coupled with a brand new Android version that packs a
host of new features.
