Motorola Nexus 6 6 vs iPhone vs Galaxy S6. How to choose – Channelbiz

We’d said at the trial of LG Nexus 5, and still holds true also for the new model from Motorola Nexus 6. When Google marries a vendor to create the ‘right’ smartphones, this smartphone, as well as stand out immediately from all other proposals Android, becomes a yardstick indispensable and bear much fruit (in terms of units sold) to those who produced it. It also applies in this case. Advise the end user only ever have the patience to wait for the price to stabilize down, and in fact … Even for Nexus 6 is happening.

Motorola Nexus 6 is now also online at a price of 499 Euros, but let us be clear: even if we are scandalized by the official price of the Google Store, still fixed at 599 € for a 32 GB version, we think the value the vote 10 will come when we can find around 400 Euros, then yes we could speak of a ‘smartphone killer’.

Now we attempt an analysis of the proposal taking into account both the competitors for excellence, iPhone 6 Plus on iOs , is what we have seen in Barcelona at MWC 2015 and then the proposal Samsung. We focus not so much on the specifications as a mere figure, but always considering what and how to affect the actual user experience. We think that it is over the time of the tests muscle, and also the evaluation of users is increasingly based simply on the experience of use.

Let’s debunk some myths about now Motorola Nexus 6 : the fact that the Internet also circulate demo video on water resistance of this smartphone, does not mean that you are purchasing a smartphone ready to work under water, even if it seems so. Google it does not mention this feature and merely states the splash resistance, for normal use in an environment where there may be significant even sketches. Unlike the case of those smartphones that the manufacturer declares ‘certified’ to be completely immersed. We appreciate so, but we can not report an actual preference for this feature, or to pin this as a plus of Nexus 6.

Still on the external features, after a good period of use instead confirm that the 6-inch diagonal display on the one hand you Note , for the width of the device closer to 8.5 cm (just to want to protect with a carrying case and we have chose that UAG to mistreat as it should), on the other hand this choice is appreciate , because multimedia smartphone Nexus 6 is excellent, which is not fatiguing, even if you are using it to watch a whole movie.

If the iPhone is more then 6 Plus ‘ manabile ‘ (forgive the ugly term but makes it even better idea of ​​the relationship between smartphones and hand), Nexus 6 loses in manabilità , but is better suited for use across the board as the device only. Overall it is true that with Gorilla Glass 3, and features boosts splash resistance, Nexus 6 looks more bodywork iPhone 6, but it is a smartphone altogether more elegant, with quality materials and also in the back of the shell ( let us never forget, however, the price difference of at least € 160).

Instead, it is interesting to compare with iPhone 6 Plus on two parameters, which we believe indicate how well the test ‘muscle’ sometimes does not make sense. Motorola Nexus 6 of 5.9 inches has a resolution of 1400 × 2560 pixels compared to 1080 × 1920 of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, with a pixel density to the benefit of Nexus 6 (493 ppi) with its AMOLED display, compared to the IPS panel LCD Apple.

But we guarantee that this data will not affect much the Your experience of end use, not as much as for example the login system, which in our view is priceless comfort of iPhone 6 with the fingerprint reader, and not as much as the battery life. Big disappointment Motorola Nexus 6 with Lollipop, in this case. As with iPhone 6 Plus is guaranteed to arrive in the evening, with a use of the smartphone also challenging, it is not said that it is with Nexus 6, even after upgrading Lollipop 5.1, although this feature is even exalted Google Store. That’s why a feature like wireless charging Qi , you do not even feel like a lack of iPhone: iPhone simply because it can be recharged at the end of the day and no matter if you use the cable or the standard Qi wireless .

At the same time Motorola Nexus 6 allows shooting with 4K resolution, not possible in iPhone 6 Plus, but is able to capture 60 fps, 30 fps against Nexus . One thing that is important for shooting video. iPhone 6 Plus has not raised the bar with regard to the megapixel sensor, but added the autofocus phase detection and the optical stabilizer, but is also supplied Nexus 6 which is distinguished in its turn to the sensor 13 megapixels, and the excellent ring flash, welcome innovative solution.

And ‘no doubt that in multimedia Nexus 6 is defend well . We have not made any reference to the computing power: difficult in this case the end user who is not a gamer, can complain and regsitrare delays or difficulties in handling graphics from the two smartphones and who gamer is probably located the best solutions Galaxy S6.

Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge

Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge

We hardly mentioned, until now, the comparison with Galaxy S6 Edge (64 GB version). The case of Galaxy S6 Edge is in our view particularly because the list price of a thousand euro in a sense ‘allibisce’ and does overshadow even the technical qualities of the smartphone, faulted. Our reflection, however simple, is this: to be worth spending almost exactly twice? Our experience will be so improved as to make us exclaim: “It ‘s another thing?” . As we saw in Barcelona, ​​however, the answer is no, although, no doubt Edge is undisputed benchmark in terms of technical specifications and hardware content.

If the display is so, and certainly the Samsung’s proposal with a density of 577 ppi is impressive, in the experience of use, however, we are not so far from what Motorola offers, because the display curved at the edges does not bring benefits in proportion comparable to the price increase.

The version Samsung Galaxy S 6 is, however, in some respects, more relevant for our comparison. The lower price, from a certain point of view ‘relaxes assessment’; it enjoys the advantage of fingerprint scanner, and a display exceptional; the fluidity with powerful processor (dual quad core) and Ram abundant (3Gbyte) is guaranteed, the user experience is at the top also to play. Are all factors that can lead to open your wallet in front of a list price of 649 euro for Nexus 6 (64 Gbytes) against € 849 Galaxy S6 (64 Gbytes) that still is a top of the range in effect. Also because Samsung has also ennobled their smartphone Galaxy S6 (no Edge) with the finest materials of plastic and glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

In summary, in a pure comparison “muscle” in scope Android Motorola Nexus 6 is a top of the range, or wants to be, and no doubt if you have the availability of the portfolio should be considered Samsung Galaxy S6 , or other proposals such as the top of Htc One M9 . At the same time Nexus 6 is the Android smartphone more balanced in absolute if you evaluate the value for money, and is a smartphone ‘as Google commands’, so with considerable attention on the timely availability of all updates, also for the direct Google / producer and the lack of customization by the vendor of any kind.

The combined Motorola / Lollipop 5.1 (ie hardware and Os), in our experience of Use was almost perfect. We have no remarks to make the integration between hardware and software that is real strength of Nexus 6. However we remain perplexed for some choices of Google Android-Lollipop, which here can be appreciated in its purest declination.

Having made so articulated the management level of the ringtone, from having to learn the concept of Stop , simply to avoid having to feel even more vibration when you do not want, it seems excessive, and so in our notice is however questionable the sealing system applications (we talk both in relation to the simultaneous closure of all, it is precisely the closure mode of single app, with the time delay of about one second to see appear the fateful ‘X’). The simplification and reduction command sometimes leads to excessive compromises. It ‘also possible that Lollipop on a 6-inch diagonal does not offer a better adaptation to the user, for example, when you turn your smartphone and you use it horizontally?

And then here Some programs, such as Gmail , candidate now to handle any type of account, it still shows the stiffness and serves as the possibility of default action only Archive or Delete , and does not allow for such action Move in other folder, or else, as you can be with iOs both with the new Microsoft Outlook.

Instead well does Lollipop with the ability to better manage the multitasking overview, the configuration of an anonymous user, or to block on a smartphone app when you pay, so that the person to whom we deliver can actually make only one phone call for example . Here are the security options are those that have given us the most satisfaction and where we enjoyed innovative features, even with the proposed iOS, for example, with the ability to keep unlocked smartphone until it is in contact with the body, or in your bag .

Motorola Nexus 6 in our view goes right to the top five Android solutions to be evaluated during the purchase, and could become the ideal smartphone with the approach of the price to 400 euro which we believe is the best price to maximize your score in the quality / price ratio. The distance between this solution Nexus integrating hardware and software, compared to the best solutions from other vendors Android has however reduced, in our opinion, than when it was announced Nexus 5.

At the same time in comparison between Nexus and Apple iPhone with iOS 6 – regardless of the hardware specs, but considering good hardware and software integration -vince still iOs with iPhone; we think that this judgment is also due to the fact that the iPhone app are on the whole more and better integrated with the operating system and hardware, but this is a feature on the development kit that you have.

There is happened to exploit for example the recognition of barcodes on both devices, with the same app, and readiness for reading and ‘hooking’ code on iOs was incomparably better. Sure, enter the field a number of variables, but in the end what matters is the end user experience, overall better with iOs. No doubt that the choice of an Android smartphone, at the time, our overall score Nexus 6 sees the top places.
