9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

[master_shake_]

Nexus devices usually don't have locked boot loaders. Not sure about Att and Verizon but if you got a nexus you bought one for the ability to do what you wanted to it.

my nexus 5 (google play store) has a locked bootloader.

its only carrier unlocked.

galaxy nexus is bootloader locked too.

But cant they be unlocked with a simple command? I know for HTC it was easy until Verizon specified they could not hand out unlock keys for the boot loader through the dev section.

I got my nexus 6 through Motorola and will be using it in Verizon. First thing I'll do is unlock the boot loader.

Yea most people will be financing it on carriers. It's less than or equal to other flagship phones to be honest.

Yea I've been off contract for a while. Not going under one now so I don't mind paying the full amount. Moto gave me 12 months 0% anyway just like a carrier would.

Oh I agree - it's just I wouldn't be surprised if the AT&T and Verizon versions ended up being truly bootloader locked. Pure Android is what I imagine is important to Google, not having an unlocked bootloader (I think most people consider using fastboot to unlock = unlocked).

 

[Radeon962]

Anything with Google Apps has to have a locked bootloader. It can be SIM unlocked to use on any carrier.

The Nexus does indeed have a locked bootloader but it is also easy to unlock.

 

[magomago]

any actual reviews yet? For 750 dollars this thing has to in a dead heat with every top smart phone in every single category. Nothing can be marginal anymore, like the camera or lack of extra features like ANT+ support.

Damn, $250 on contract for a Nexus? Guess I'll wait a little longer. No rush to renew my contract.

 

[chimaxi83]

AT&T preorder is live, for those interested.

 

[cpacini]

Got an email from Moto at 1209 that they have them back in stock on their website, but back to out of stock at 1232.

I'd be more interested in the Droid Turbo//Moto Maxx

Turbo is ugly they should have made the front more aesthetically pleasing. That stupid protruding lip.

The 32gb version of the white/blue is available at Motorola for purchase.

The anandtech review is up, and ghee nexus 6 has worse battery life than the 5? How is that even possible?

 

[SAWYER]

facepalm, unacceptable for a normal priced nexus now. Nexus devices have always had compromises but you had to give them some slack for the cost but no more

 

[NikolaeVarius]

The reviews are all weird. I guess 5.0 should have been delayed a bit more. Performance kinks everywhere.

 

[dawheat]

Boo - I had thought the 1440p screen was using Samsung's newest AMOLED tech but it looks more like last year's tech at a high resolution. Definitely a step down from the Note 4.

Battery life I *hope* is due to software optimization. I was hoping ART and Volta in Lollipop would result in higher battery life for all phones that eventually get Lollipop.

 

[sze5003]

I think the battery issues are due to android 5. As for the screen it looks fine for me coming from an m7 lol.

 

[ImDonly1]

Seems like a flop based on the AT review.
$650 and typical bad battery life, low display brightness.
Definitely not the premium device we were expecting.
