Specs look pretty impressive. Unfortunately getting the specs mean an end to their discount pricing.

(I'm sure that bot will say the specs aren't important, only the sales but I'm a user, not an investor)


Biggest downside I see is the lack of expandable memory. Probably the top feature is the turbo charging. Don't know If I'll be getting one but it sure is a competitive option.

Supposed to be available for pre-order either the 23rd or 29th.

As a user you'll care about performance more so than specs....

Seems the phone the thread is about is missing. Why don't you repost a chart including the nexus 6?

I don't think its been tested yet, point is specs don't mean anything, how technology is implemented and what experience (ie performace) is what matters. Nexus phones have a very good chance of performing very well as this one, for example, is the launch for a new OS release. One would expect Google would have optimized the HW for the OS.

Spec sure mean a heck of a lot. (Pretty funny that a guy who just posted a chart on 'his' device specs suddenly feels the opposite those specs aren't significant - and processor specs are more significant to me than the browser specs you posted)

And yes, Apple has an advantage because it's tight control over its hardware means its easy to optimize its performance to make up for the fact that their processors are much slower than the competition. IF google spent the time to specifically optimize their 2 new devices for 5.0 then the nexus 6 should be screaming fast. Of course since android (and if you want to stay on topic of your spec post - chrome) is widely used by 3rd party manufacturers, who knows how much the Moto Nexus will be able to take advantage.
