Title: Nexus 6 or Note 4
Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 09 December 2014, 10:27:38
I can't get the one plus..
It has to be from AT&T.. signing up for contract..

If I had to pick, it would probably be the Nexus.

I was really tempted to do the tmobile uncarrier thing a few months ago.

You have a rough choice though.
I can't stand using touch wiz and a bloated samsung phone.
Normally I'd be chanting Nexus Nexus but I think I also lost alot of interest in the nexus 6 this year that and I'm not a fan of android L.

what's wrong with the android L ? it's clean android isn't it? I've always gotten the windoz XP feel from clean android..

It' doesn't do all that much.. but no bloat..  that's really all I ask for..

They kind of went the way of windows 8 for android L. Experienced users are going to blegh because they didn't strike a good balance and sacrificed some things for the sake of simplicity.

It's cleaner but also not very Android.

Since 4.3 (I think) I haven't been a fan how android has slowly tightened parts of its OS and really messed with custom developers without addressing some of the really basic issues that plague android.

I kind of dub android L the ****ty version of IOS.

Last nexus that I really liked was the 5. Perfect size, and shape. I love the shape of it. I wonder if Google will ever make the nexus line smaller again. Or maybe keep the nexus 5 shell and revamp specs.... doubt that one though.

You can buy the one plus one right now on their website.  They're having a no invite holiday sale. Get it by Christmas too I believe. But you need to hurry before they run out.

I'm tempted to buy one now.
Yet I'm wondering what their next phone will be like.
