Props to that reviewer, the guy that did the review of the nexus 9 should be kicked out!! An i own an iphone but that review sucked ass, too offensive to the ones who are looking for an unbiased review.
4nlimited3dition Don't want to start a fight here but obviously a product has to be compared to other products when it's being reviewed to give the viewer a good sense of it's capabilities. Can't just say that "It's a good phone", because then you wouldn't know what good means but if they said "iPhone is a great phone, but this one is only great" it immediately gives a viewer a better sense of what the product is actually like. Not saying that iPhone is necessarily better than the N6, I don't believe there's a best phone for everyone (I would get the N6 myself) but that was just an example.
***** there have been a lot of complaints about the nexus 6, for 1 it can explode, 2 it's to big, and 3 Google din nothing to take advantage of the big screen, also it's to overpriced so I'm not getting it, unless Google releases another phone like the nexus 5,im never getting a nexus again
tito nieveszorkorHe's just trolling, fuck em. People like to talk all kinds of shit when they're identity is anonymous and don't have to be accountable. It is well known around the industry that the verge and few other outlets give iOS favorable reviews in exchange for early access to devices. The Verge is just know for having a slightly stronger bias than the rest. Plus all of us here gave them their due respect on this review, so please don't even dignify some random person looking for attention with further responses.
Where has this guy been are all lives? Finally a review that doesn't just compare everything to apple. This guy just had the best review The Verge has ever made. Good job man.
For the last decade I've had your comment in my mind calling it, that 6"was the limit. Apparently not... though to be fair, the phones aren't much larger, but the screens cover almost all of them, hence a larger screen.
Kudos to the guy who reviewed this. A well balanced review, no heavy comparison like the Nexus 9 review. Hopefully we'll see more of him soon. Thanks The Verge.
Dieter, you are an amazing reviewer. Always being open-minded, truthful, unbiased, and straight-forward. You and David are literally the reason why I still watch The Verge. Keep it up ^^
wow... you guys really learned your lesson from the nexus 9 review.... no constant comparisons with the iPhone 6+ and actual camera shots :O great work. i hope it lasts
Wow! They actually put together an unbiased review. Although, I did notice how he set up his home screen like that of an iPhone, with almost nothing but apps set up in folders.
0:49 "it's thicker on the top than the bottom, which makes it unbalanced", exactly my thought when I first saw the Nexus 6. It just doesn't suit the eye. The M8 is opposite, super thick bottom compared to the top, but still more tolerable than this weird design of Motorola.
Yes and no. On the moto x it was called Active Display. Active display works a bit differently. It would show the icon like you'd see in the notification bar, and when you held the icon it would give you a bit of detail about the notification. If you didn't have a notification it'd give you a lock icon to unlock it. What Lollipop does is put notifications on your lockscreen in an easy to see and digest manner. The ambient display will put a black background, and those notifications become monochrome. Where as active display was a layer, almost an app unto itself on top of the basic lockscreen, ambient display looks like an extension of the lockscreen. Both will accomplish the same task but its the feel of how it does it that will be different.
Ok this was actually a really solid review, and a far cry from the controversial "nexus 5 hands on" also from dieter. Overall well constructed and lacking of any apple favouritism. The only not pick I have is the comment on pricing. While it is marginally more expensive than previous nexus devices, it is still quite a bit cheaper than the outright 6+ or note 4.
Theverge- Your review heavily conflicts with the ones from Arstechnica and Anandtech, which both state this phone in many cases is WORSE than the Nexus 5 in battery,performance, color accuracy,brightness and white point. You made this review pretty much all positive in order to balance your image from being to Apple biased. Thats fine but don't LIE in the reviews to do this, Nexus 6 is a phone with good hardware destroyed by a display that's to big for the hardware to power. Its very clear at this point this is just a moto phablet re-branded as a Nexus because the silver program had failed. I'll be switching to the Z3 as Nexus no longer represents the best of Android
Dude. This is stock Android. No skins on it. The screen and colors are extremely inproved on this. The battery is incredible! You can have your own opinion, but when you look at the spec sheet it's physically impossible to have less battery life.
xXRejector88Xx its true though they did battery web browsing tests and the nexus 6 did worse than the nexus 5, however the battery charging time is one of the fastest
***** sad part is you are probably right about the trying to change their "apple biased" even though i have never seen it that way. But anytime the Verge says anything bad about it they are sheep, say anything good about android even though as you pointed out its worse than the nexus 5 in some ways you get this "finally they did a good job on the nexus review" "nexus 6 review from the verge. not a bad review at all" "impressed by the review considering the company reviewing it" don't believe me? scroll down i got those from the comment section. Why can't a camera be worse than the "iphones" without you being a sheep? Why can't a screen be worse than the 'iphones" without you being a sheep? (not saying it it btw just an example) sad that you can't say anything negative about a product without being labeled a fandroid or a isheep. Id rather have someone give me their honest opinion and get hate than a android channel telling me its GREAT or an Apple channel telling me its GREAT.
An unbiased review, you can tell iVerge is trying to win android fans back after they realised we weren't happy that's why they made a video in the past few days with MKBHD. Finally iVerge! PS: Really like this reviewer.
Loved how he ended the review! With the whole "I'm calling it" comment and how phones shouldn't get bigger with the cherry beibg "the limit is a great place to be". Well said!
Couple months ago I had the 6P and, well I sold it and currently I'm waiting for a brand new Nexus 6 coming from China. I'm going back! Love this phone.
Best phone for an average consumer - ip6/6plus Best android phones for people who want their phone to do more - Nexus 6 Best windows phone- fuck off if you carried on reading this category . Windows has nothin android or ios dont have! Windows is total dibshit.
Where has this seemingly objective version of The Verge been. A nexus review that actually focused on the nexus product, as opposed to endlessly comparing it to anything Apple makes... I love it.
Great review!!! I loved it. I love how beautiful your videos usually are. Sometimes I don't agree with your opinions but in this case I do. I think is very well explained. Congrats!!
This review was so much better than that of nexus 9, thanks for only "reviewing nexus 6", instead of constantly comparing it to phone by other brands (yes, I mean apple here.) Kudos to the reviewer..
Its great to see that the iPhone comparisons were kept to a minimum - props to you the Verge!
Even though at 3:06 ...
4nlimited3dition "kept to a minimum"
Props to that reviewer, the guy that did the review of the nexus 9 should be kicked out!! An i own an iphone but that review sucked ass, too offensive to the ones who are looking for an unbiased review.
***** Yes, I noticed that, but there was still no need to even keep a minimum, when there was no need for any.
4nlimited3dition Don't want to start a fight here but obviously a product has to be compared to other products when it's being reviewed to give the viewer a good sense of it's capabilities.

This might be by mistake but this video is exactly 6 minutes long
Hahaha it is a funny detail
and you have 6 likes...
6 divided by 2 = 3...Half life 3 Confirmed :)
Tony Stark like like
Just noticed it too. No WAY that's by mistake lol.
***** there have been a lot of complaints about the nexus 6, for 1 it can explode, 2 it's to big, and 3 Google din nothing to take advantage of the big screen, also it's to overpriced so I'm not getting it, unless Google releases another phone like the nexus 5,im never getting a nexus again
I came here from MKBHD and I love your channel!
Tech GeniusHD Hey thanks. Welcome!
watch the best phone (updated) video and u won't any more
I'm actually surprised by this review. It's good, honest and not biased. Way to go The Verge
Well knock me down with a feather! This was a decent review of an Android phone on The Verge ...... I'm flabbergasted!!! Cheers though to Dieter.
Did you see the MKBHD video as well, some strange aberration happened today. BTW finally got through with mine though its back-ordered to Dec 9
Marlon Thompson congrats!
would of been perfect if they played some background music though
Maybe they finally decided all the bad publicity isn't worth the extra clicks.
Naaaah. That can't be it.
Yes! Thank God, so glad Dan didn't review this. I either wanted you or David to review this and I wasn't disappointed.
I want that phone now :D
You guys are not going to get me to resubscribe but I have to admit you finally did a good job on the Nexus review👍👍
Frederich Gautreau I agree 100%😊
Is that all you people know how to do, complain???? Oh boohoo, we don't like that he said it the phone is bad, wah!!!!! Get a life.
MaccidX not liking what we saying is all Right but telling ppl to get a life that's being disrespectful . cut that shit out
tito nieveszorkorHe's just trolling, fuck em. People like to talk all kinds of shit when they're identity is anonymous and don't have to be accountable.

Frederich Gautreau I hundred percent agree with you I should have known better
"Anything bigger is a tablet" (this was 6").
Nowadays: Flagships: 6.7-6.9".
This is the longest non-iPhone review I can remember being on The Verge this year. You guys should do more like this, the extra detail is helpful.
Where has this guy been are all lives? Finally a review that doesn't just compare everything to apple. This guy just had the best review The Verge has ever made. Good job man.
For the last decade I've had your comment in my mind calling it, that 6"was the limit. Apparently not... though to be fair, the phones aren't much larger, but the screens cover almost all of them, hence a larger screen.
There is a mistake at 5:14 where it is stated that there is
16GB & 32GB
it's actually 32GB for $649 & 64GB for $699
7rkat ya uthmani
This was the most fair Nexus review I've ever seen from The Verge. Good job!
Who knew The Verge was capable of delivering a good review on an android product.
No multi-screen/dual screen function is the deal breaker.....it's big for no reason basically.
Yeah still waiting on how to take advantage of that huge screen. Maybe some months down the line, google might introduce that function
Finally a good review from the verge. Much appreciated.
Good review, impressed that apple wasn't mentioned every other sentence lol
That would be like comparing *apples* to oranges
Agree! Haha
Dieter basically got a slap few years later when he found aspect ratio can be changed.. now adays 6 inches seems small..
Great review, especially coming from the Verge. Honest and unbiased!
Word of advice, the storage options are 32/64 not 16/32. Otherwise, great job!
Kudos to the guy who reviewed this. A well balanced review, no heavy comparison like the Nexus 9 review. Hopefully we'll see more of him soon. Thanks The Verge.
Dieter, you are an amazing reviewer. Always being open-minded, truthful, unbiased, and straight-forward. You and David are literally the reason why I still watch The Verge. Keep it up ^^
Video says 16 gb and 32gb but the retail versions are 32 and 64gb
Correction The Verge , the Nexus 6 comes in 32 GB (649 $) and 64 GB (699 $) variants, not 16 GB and 32 GB.
An unbiased review from the verge atlast. This guy should be doing more reviews instead of iPearce .
The Verge needs to get fame . They have the best reviewer's . Great review . *ThumbsUp*
Props to the reviewer for not being totally Apple biased! A really good review for once!
Wow an actually fair review by the verge
5:08 *32GB and 64GB.
Otherwise, great review!
this typo is Apple's fault.
Finally a honest clean review of Android without constantly referring to iPhone.
I will be getting mine on December 9...I can wait to see how sweet it is..I'm moving from a Galaxy s2 to this beast..... it's about time.
wow... you guys really learned your lesson from the nexus 9 review.... no constant comparisons with the iPhone 6+ and actual camera shots :O great work. i hope it lasts
THANK YOU for not being so biased like everyone else at the Verge!
Finally, an unbiased review on an Android smartphone from The Verge.
"at first its wired but then it's great, and everything else feels too small " She said
Came from MKBHD. Very thoughtful, well made review. Sounded almost like a bed-time story.
This guy should do reviewsfrom now on. This video has to be the most fair video from the Verge. Especially regarding Android.
"The limit is the best place to be". The Verge just enlightened me with these words.
Wow! They actually put together an unbiased review. Although, I did notice how he set up his home screen like that of an iPhone, with almost nothing but apps set up in folders.
That is a freaking awesome review! Objective and interactive! Congratulations
One of the most unbiased review from the verge
Now this is a good Android review. Finally found one on this channel! Jeezus!
This is the best review I've seen from verge, we want another shot at nexus 9, that review was so biased!
Cant believe im saying this but....Well done The Verge! Excellent review!
What a fantastic review! Great stuff, guys.
An old man review, but at a least he's got the hat to match his review
Error at 5:13 on pricing. Sorry to pick it out. Just giving some feedback. Great review!
Very good review! Pretty much highlighted everything I had a question about with the device. Good job!
Finally a review I don't hate from the verge
I was hoping David Pierce made this review, but it wasn't bad at all. Thanks for the review!
nexus 6 Review in 6 minutes, you nailed it guys!
Great Review, great phone! Lollipop just looks beautiful on the Nexus 6.
Your videos are made in such a professional way... I love it.
0:49 "it's thicker on the top than the bottom, which makes it unbalanced", exactly my thought when I first saw the Nexus 6. It just doesn't suit the eye. The M8 is opposite, super thick bottom compared to the top, but still more tolerable than this weird design of Motorola.
This is the best Nexus 6 video review Ever! really enjoyed it :)
2:12 Wasnt ambient display on the original Moto X?
Yes but this is for official stock android. That was just with motorola
Yes and no. On the moto x it was called Active Display. Active display works a bit differently. It would show the icon like you'd see in the notification bar, and when you held the icon it would give you a bit of detail about the notification. If you didn't have a notification it'd give you a lock icon to unlock it. What Lollipop does is put notifications on your lockscreen in an easy to see and digest manner. The ambient display will put a black background, and those notifications become monochrome. Where as active display was a layer, almost an app unto itself on top of the basic lockscreen, ambient display looks like an extension of the lockscreen. Both will accomplish the same task but its the feel of how it does it that will be different.
Why didn't you ever fix the price / capacity screen at 5:09? You've got 16gb/32gb instead of 32gb/64gb...
Love the style the presenter delivered this review!!!
Great review. This guy should be used way more often. He's really good.
Ok this was actually a really solid review, and a far cry from the controversial "nexus 5 hands on" also from dieter. Overall well constructed and lacking of any apple favouritism. The only not pick I have is the comment on pricing. While it is marginally more expensive than previous nexus devices, it is still quite a bit cheaper than the outright 6+ or note 4.
Nitpick***
Marginally!? 😂 you out of your senses!?
***** that's true. Its expensive, but relatively cheaper than it's closest comparisons.
finale a high quality review from the verge. it has been way to long.
Nice work, Verge. I've come to expect extreme bias in your reviews, but this one proved me wrong. Fantastic job.
Finally a great review. No David Pierce comparing everything to Apple!
Finally a fair review. Well given facts and unbiased opinions. 10/10

***** you haven't heard of Anandtech or Arstechnica??????
Victor Enriquez completely agree with you
A good, unbias review from verge for a longggg time
MKBHD sent me here,
Great review on the Nexus 6
so I've subscribed
Now I'll take a tour around your channel!!
didn't enjoy a review by the verge in ages.. this one was pretty great though!
An unbiased review, you can tell iVerge is trying to win android fans back after they realised we weren't happy that's why they made a video in the past few days with MKBHD. Finally iVerge!
PS: Really like this reviewer.
I would like to know details about the picture in the video at Minute 3:20.
Please and Thanks
I actually enjoyed this review :) nicely done The Verge
Finally. A review from the Verge I actually liked. Pretty unbiased but the comparisons between the Nexus and iPhone are true.
I totally agree with that last part a 6" phablet is my limit...
thankfully the verge not bashing another android phone finally a positive review
Loved how he ended the review! With the whole "I'm calling it" comment and how phones shouldn't get bigger with the cherry beibg "the limit is a great place to be". Well said!
Excellent review, Dieter. You definitely redeemed yourself after your dismal coverage of the Nexus 5 with this review.
Great, short summerizing review of one of the phones that actually would make me switch out my iPhone 5S.
Finally a true non biased android review from The Verge
wow, you make art from the reviews.
Thank you for a good review that was unbiased. I wish that had happened with the nexus 9 review!
I couldnt agree more about the size of the phone, good job.
always love your videos! great collaboration with MKBHD!
Do all nexus 6's have a 2 toned display?
(only really noticeable under white or grey backgrounds)
Why I purchased the Nexus.
Dual front stereo speakers
Large screen
Proven and reliable snapdragon 805
Adreno 420
Hi quality
3gb ram
Pretty balanced review. Agreed on camera part. Thumbs up!
Couple months ago I had the 6P and, well I sold it and currently I'm waiting for a brand new Nexus 6 coming from China. I'm going back! Love this phone.
I'm replacing my 5x with it,whenever it arrives.
Why?
Why?
Best phone for an average consumer - ip6/6plus
Best android phones for people who want their phone to do more - Nexus 6
Best windows phone- fuck off if you carried on reading this category . Windows has nothin android or ios dont have! Windows is total dibshit.
to do more what?
I bet you're 12 years old kid.
+faiz nordin So?
I like the verge reviews .. short ,sweet and very balanced.
Where has this seemingly objective version of The Verge been. A nexus review that actually focused on the nexus product, as opposed to endlessly comparing it to anything Apple makes... I love it.
You know a guy is biased towards Apple products when he uses the expression "Retina Plus" to describe the screen on a Nexus.
Great review, btw
Great review!!! I loved it.
I love how beautiful your videos usually are. Sometimes I don't agree with your opinions but in this case I do. I think is very well explained. Congrats!!
Yeah really happy with review guys finally a decent review keep it up now
what wallpaper is that 2:26 ? thank you in advance
damn finally awesome review from verge !!!
Wow! I'm impressed, The Verge. I didn't think you could do good Android phone reviews. You reviewed the phone for what it is worth. Great Job!
Yes!!! The Nexus 6 is the phone that ends up second, if not first in every category!!
-Proud owner of Nexus 5, running lollipop!
Really good review this time!
One of the best Verge reviews in a while. (Of Android phones anyway )
Commenting from my Nexus 6 after 10 year of use
This review was so much better than that of nexus 9, thanks for only "reviewing nexus 6", instead of constantly comparing it to phone by other brands (yes, I mean apple here.)
Kudos to the reviewer..
One of the best reviews I've seen !!!
Great video review! You really explained everything I wanted to know.
