As someone who came over to the Nexus 6 from the Samsung Galaxy S4 (and, prior to that, the Galaxy S3), here are my initial impressions after having the phone for about a day:
The size:
This phone is big and heavy. I expected, and wanted, it to be big. However, I did not realize just how heavy it would be. A coworker has a Galaxy Note that is about the same size, but seems to weigh not even half of what this phone does. One problem I've come across with the big screen involves widgets. I used to have a 4x2 clock/temperature/weather/date widget through Fancy Widgets that I really liked, which fit perfectly centered on the Galaxy S-series phones. However, on this phone it did not, and there was no option for a wider widget, so I ended up having to install Beautiful Widgets, which has a 5x2 widget that worked out (though BW skins are not as aesthetically pleasing and the widget additional features are not as customizable as Fancy Widgets). I bought the "Supcase" frosted case to protect my phone, and it does add some bulk, but even without the case the phone still seems a little too chunky to be practical (even though I rarely use it to make phone calls). I'm told I'll get used to it and never be able to go back to anything smaller, though, so we'll see.
Setup:
This was the easiest set-up I've ever done. The phone walks you through set-up, and gives you the option to use NFC to transfer all of the data from your old phone onto the new one. It might have been wishful thinking on my part, but I'd hoped this would mean not only transferring the apps themselves, but the information from within the apps, my wallpaper, pictures, etc. Nope. It did transfer all of my Google stuff, and automatically downloaded all of the apps from the Play Store, but I still had to login to all of the accounts and, in the case of some (e.g., my Checkbook app, which is basically a digital check register), re-enter all of my data. None of my wallpapers or widgets or other customizations transferred over. Most of my personalized stuff from the Galaxy S4 was stored on an SD card, rather than on the device's internal memory, so maybe that might explain why it didn't sync to the extent I'd hoped. Regardless, the NFC transfer is an awesome feature and no doubt saved me a lot of time. A tip I learned from reading other reviews: Leave the SIM card out during set-up and connect to the internet via WiFi instead, and let the phone do all of its updating (including if it is updating from Android OS 5.0 to 5.1) before even thinking of inserting the SIM. There were some horror stories of people who followed set-up instructions to put the SIM card in first, only to end up with the carrier using that as a vehicle to carrier-lock the phone and add bloatware. I don't know if this would have happened had I inserted my SIM card first, but figured "why risk it?" Also good to know: If you're on a carrier that uses SIM cards, it's unlikely your current SIM card will work in this device, as it uses a nano SIM card, which is a relatively new thing in the Android world. Most likely, you've currently got a micro SIM card, and will need to contact your carrier and buy/order a new SIM card. There are internet tutorials on cutting a micro SIM card down to nano SIM card size and then filing/sanding it down to nano card thickness, but that's just way too involved and risky. . . better to just go get a new nano SIM card.
The camera:
I've only taken a couple of pictures, in well-lit places, and they look decent, but I feel like the Galaxy S4 takes crisper, more vibrant photos and has a more intuitive camera app. Maybe I'll just need to start using a third-party camera app.
Motorola/Android Lollipop vs. Samsung Galaxy S4/Touch Whiz/Android Jelly Bean:
This phone seems to process things noticeably faster than the Galaxy S4, but that could also have to do with that most of the things on my S4 were on an SD card, whereas everything I use on the Nexus 6 is more readily available on the internal phone memory. I was not a fan of the ambient notifications, so I turned those off. I could not stand the big, white, ugly Google search bar at the top of the screen. The Google launcher does not allow you to remove it, or even move or resize it. The placement of it at the very top of the screen doesn't make any sense from a user standpoint. Maybe that's just where they thought it would be least intrusive. I had to install Nova Launcher in order to get rid of the Google search bar, and to get back some of the functionality I lost in switching from Samsung to Motorola. And, speaking of the user-unfriendly placement of the Google search bar, the "power" and "volume" button placement likewise do not make sense. The power button and volume buttons are on the right side of the phone, halfway down the phone. This doesn't make sense, as the majority of people are right-handed, and given that most people grip a phone from the middle rather than the bottom or the top. The buttons are in the way when you're trying to hold the phone, and hard to get at when you're actually in a call and need to turn the volume up or down. I'm put off that there is no quick and easy way to switch from silent to vibrate to sound, and access other commonly used features that were oh-so-accessible when you pulled down the menu on the Galaxy. On the Nexus, you have to go to the app drawer, then scroll down to "settings," then go to "sound & notification," and then individually control the volume of media, alarms, and ring volume from there. Speaking of "settings," I noticed there are much fewer options available on the Nexus than on the Galaxy series. Everyone talks about getting the super customizable "pure Android" experience, but with this device I feel like my hands are tied in a lot of respects. And, as far as the "no bloatware" claim, nothing could be further from the truth: Google pre-installed a bunch of their own apps (Drive, Hangouts, Play Games, Play Newsstand, Play Music, Play Books, Slides, Keep, Google Photos (which requires also having a Google + account-- no thanks!), etc.) and you can't uninstall them. The best you can do is disable the app, uninstall any updates to it (e.g., bring it back to the factory version, which is usually slightly smaller in file size), and "disable" the app. . . but it still exists on the phone, taking up valuable internal memory space on a phone that doesn't have any option for SD card expansion.
I think someone coming over to the Nexus 6 from the Moto X would be really happy since it's basically the Moto X except bigger and better. But coming over from the Samsung Galaxy series, I'm not very impressed. As it stands right now, this phone is 3 stars (just "okay"), but for the price (on sale on Amazon to make way for the Nexus 6p) and the fact that it is unlocked and one of the few phones that work with the new Google Fi network (which I haven't switched to. . . yet) and will get updates before many other phones do, I feel like it is a very good deal and worth the money. I also feel like I shouldn't rush to judgment until I've had more time to acclimate to it, and I think it does have potential if I can figure out how to better customize it (without rooting it and voiding the warranty, and without having to install a bunch of third party work-around apps), so I am bumping up to four stars.

What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

Great phone, BUT MAKE SURE YOU GET THE US VERSION (XT1103)!
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2015
SHORT VERSION:----------------------------You may not be able to know for sure if you will get the XT1103 (model 00630NARTL) or the XT1100 (model SM4034AW4N3) when you purchase this phone on Amazon. I bought one for myself (sold directly from Amazon) and then bought one for my wife about a month later (sold from DeltaMobiles via Amazon). I got the XT1103 US model on the first order (from Amazon), then got the XT1100 international/euro model on the second order (from DeltaMobiles). This is a problem because the XT1100 cannot use 3G or LTE on my carrier (Consumer Cellular, which piggybacks on the AT&T network) or on virtually any other US cellular carrier. So even though I went back into my Amazon order history and purchased the second Nexus 6 using the same product page as the first that I bought, the second was a different model that will not be able to utilize high-speed data. See the photo attached to this review which shows both boxes side-by-side. I am returning the XT1100 and I bought my wife another Nexus 6 directly from the Google Store to be sure I will get an XT1103 that is set up for US data networks (it was the same price as Amazon when I bought it just now). I use Amazon all the time for all kinds of things, but in this case I would recommend that you avoid purchasing a Nexus 6 through Amazon unless it is clear exactly which model you're going to receive. You are SUPPOSED to get an XT1103 when you buy the phone on this product page - note that in the Technical Details section on the product page it specifically has "00630NARTL" as the item model number, which is the US-compatible XT1103, so if you get an XT1100 (model SM4034AW4N3) you are getting the wrong phone. I am suspicious that DeltaMobiles is purposely sending people the wrong phone.LONG VERSION:----------------------------I love this phone. This is my first Android phone after three iPhones and I couldn't be happier. I love the huge, bright screen, the camera is pretty nice, the phone is fast, and LTE is awesome.But here's why I wrote this review: I purchased my Nexus 6 on May 7th, 2015. It shipped from Amazon (in other words it says "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" under the price on the Amazon product page), and I got the XT1103, which is the US model. It only took a few minutes to set it up on my service (Consumer Cellular, which piggybacks on the AT&T network), and it hooked up to LTE immediately. You probably already know this if you are shopping for a high-end smartphone, but LTE (aka 4G LTE) is the most recent high-speed data network. It means faster downloading, web browsing, etc. and is one of the major benefits of upgrading to a new phone if your current phone is not LTE-capable.My wife was jealous of my new, giant, beautiful phone, which is understandable since I intentionally showed it off to her all the time and often suggested the inferiority of her old iPhone (which was a hand-me-down from when I made my previous iPhone upgrade). So for our anniversary, I bought her a Nexus 6 as well (purchased on June 16th, 2015 - a little over a month from when I bought mine). I gave it to her today, and then started setting it up for her. Everything in the setup went normally just like it had with my phone, but when I disabled the wi-fi to test the data network, I noticed that her phone was not connecting to LTE (or 3G for that matter). I set both our phones side by side and checked the APN settings and some other phone settings to verify that they were set up identically, which they were. I had only taken the phone itself out of the box up to this point, and when I removed the rest of the contents I saw the European plug on the phone's charger. I compared the box of her phone to mine (see attached photo) and finally realized by looking at the labels that my wife's Nexus 6 was the XT1100 (euro/international model), and that I had gotten the XT1103 (the US version). While the XT1100 looks identical, has an identical OS, uses the same nano sim card, etc., it has a very different setup in terms of compatible cellular networks and will not use US 3G or LTE. Note that the XT1100 will still work for making calls and using basic cellular data (GSM), but you will not be able to access 3G or LTE.I was pretty certain that I had bought my wife's Nexus 6 from the exact same product page on Amazon from which I had purchased my own, so I went back into my order history to verify this. Both of the orders do point to the same product page, but the first order (XT1103 US model) was sold by Amazon, while the second order (XT1100 international model) was shipped/sold by DeltaMobiles. Currently (June 20th), the product page says it is being sold/shipped by Amazon again. I didn't even realize that it was a different seller when I made the second purchase.This situation is pretty frustrating because nobody buying this phone to use it in the US would likely choose the international model instead of the US model since the international model will not perform as well on US networks, so I don't know why they are sending the XT1100 to US customers. Because the seller (DeltaMobiles) covered the SM4034AW4N3 model number on the box with a separate tag (see the photo attached to this review) I became a little suspicious that they are intentionally sending people the wrong phone because many people may not know that the XM1100 is the wrong phone. After all, it is a genuine Nexus 6, it will place phone calls in the US, and it will be able to use cellular data, so many people may start using it and never realize (or only realize too late) that they've gotten the wrong phone that can't use the much faster 3G and 4G data networks. If it is possible for a seller to make a little more money by sending the XT1100 to customers in the US than by sending them the correct XM1103, I bet this would explain why DeltaMobiles is sending out the wrong phone.For your reference, these are the compatible networks for the two versions of the phone:XT1103 (Model 00630NARTL) :GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHzCDMA band class: 0/1/10WCDMA bands: 1/2/4/5/8LTE bands: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/41CA DL bands: B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29XT1100 (Model SM4034AW4N3)GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHzWCDMA bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/9/19LTE bands: 1/3/5/7/8/9/19/20/28/41CA DL bands: B3-B5, B3-B8And if you put the search term "List of LTE networks" into Google, you can go to a Wikipedia page that will show you all of the individual networks and what bands they use for LTE.

XT1103 (Model 00630NARTL) :
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA band class: 0/1/10
WCDMA bands: 1/2/4/5/8
LTE bands: 2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/41
CA DL bands: B2-B13, B2-B17, B2-29, B4-B5, B4-B13, B4-B17, B4-B29
XT1100 (Model SM4034AW4N3)
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/9/19
LTE bands: 1/3/5/7/8/9/19/20/28/41
CA DL bands: B3-B5, B3-B8
And if you put the search term "List of LTE networks" into Google, you can go to a Wikipedia page that will show you all of the individual networks and what bands they use for LTE.
