This is great news but I'm wondering why the phones are getting bigger and bigger, 6" is a bit too much if you ask me.

This is great news but I'm wondering why the phones are getting bigger and bigger, 6" is a bit too much if you ask me.

A lot of people, including myself, love large screens. Note that this thing is also gonna be 1440p, which is insane for a phone - I still only have a 1080p monitor!

I was going to be getting a OnePlus One very soon, but seeing this, I might just have to wait on the Nexus 6. Depending on prices of course.

Why did Google have to conform and go for a stupidly priced phone :(. Nexus 5 was the best because it had stock Android, the best (or tied for the best) specs and it was half the price of all the other similar smartphones.

I guess I won't judge until it actually get's released/reviewed though.

How much RAM is on the Nexus 6? I didn't catch that in the specs page.
