Moto Nexus 6 Review :D

• Phone Design - I never like curve back as it is unbalance when put at desk. But no denied this Nexus 6 is awesome pretty! I really love the way Moto design the back and the way Moto pick on the white color. It is not pure white but something look flashing and premium even though it just simply a poly carbonate. The side is well done Aluminium finish, this is far ahead than Note 4 which after a while only showing scratch here and there. The designer is a real genius to trick human eye feel the phone is real slim, it do is 3.5mm in lower part but the center actually is 10.1mm which is kind of thick but due to the genius design, the phone just look as slim as it is like 3.5mm only.


• Camera - If I said it is better than Note 4, I am cheating myself and to everyone. It is not, the Nexus 6 camera is on below quality of Note 4 camera but it is not the worst, it still far superior than a lot phone camera in market include Sony Xperia Z3. I rate Nexus 6 camera the second best I ever use, it just slightly below what Note 4 camera capable.


• AMOLED Screen Quality - again't it is not the best, Note 4 still the best for the moment and superior than what Nexus 6 AMOLED screen given, as every site mention, they is some pink tint if the screen put on lower brightness, I not sure why this is happening, I hope it just a software bugs implement by Google. By putting on right brightness, this phone screen quality still awesome! Beside this, Sunlight legitimate also not as great as Note 4. Again't I rate the second best AMOLED screen I ever use after Note 4.


• Reception Quality - I don't have any reception issue at all in Nexus 6, unlike Note 4 where people keep complaining me can't hear me, the reception in Nexus 6 is awesome with clear clarity.


• Loud Speaker - 2nd best loud speaker after HTC One M8, YES! It is stereo and it sound awesome! Just tiny hissing sound appear when you over volume to maximum.


• DAC sound output - after putting my Mi Earpiece, I am mind blowing! OMG! The output quality confirm superior than what Note 4 capable off.


• Bundle Earpiece - this is the worst earpiece I ever receive, probably the world worst earpiece ever release! Come on Moto! What are you thinking off, if you want to bundle with such superb extreme low quality earpiece, you better don't bundle with it, just like USA edition they is no earpiece bundle with.


• Android 5.0 Lollipop OS & Performance - the best ever OS design by Google! This is the best UI design in Android where I encourage every manufacture shall use this pure design material design UI rather than skin it. Also this is the most smoother animation I ever get in Android with tones of cool animation here and there, it is anytime surpass iOS. Off course Lollipop is not perfect yet, for example removing the Silent mode toggle is not a right choice, currently only can make the phone in vibrate mode with extra step, also the None, Priority and Full on notification setting is kind of dumb and useless, please bring back Silent toggle. Another issue is the quick toggle which auto set base on user usage, please implement custom choice by user instead of auto, this auto is not real smart where example people already headache how to bring back the Flashlight if it is gone due to no usage on it. Lastly I notice some apps actually open much faster in Note 4 than Nexus 6, the most obvious is the Phone Dialer. Also they is well known memory leak issue in Lollipop 5.0.1 where lead to force auto restart, ya, I do face it. Google you gonna ASAP release patch to fix this issue, I know root user can use custom kernel where already fix this issue which means it is just a software bugs.
