Pure Android experience in a flagship device is now priced at its cheapest level over at Amazon. The Motorola Nexus 6 is up for grabs for only $350 thanks to the giant online retailer and the deal should convince one to readily skip both the Google Nexus 2015 and Moto X 2015.
Android fans looking to relish the unadulterated version of the Google mobile operating system would naturally gravitate to the Moto X 2015, which retails for only $399 then provides one of the best mobile device specs and features to come out this year.
Or they can go for Google's signature phone, which in recent reports is rumored to be the LG Nexus 5 2015 or Nexus 5X. Described as a sub-flagship with superlative capabilities, the next Nexus will reportedly cost no more than $400 and the figures should be enough reason for Nexus fans to take a quick bite.
But Amazon has a compelling proposition: Why not get the Nexus 6 of 2014 instead? To make things easier for online shoppers, BGR said, they only need to marvel at the following full Nexus 6 specifications:
- Product Dimensions: Height: 159.3mm Width: 83.0 mm Curve: 3.8-10.1mm
- Operating System: Android 5.0 Lollipop
- Display: 5.96-inch AMOLED, 1440×2560, 16:9 aspect ratio, 493ppi, Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- Weight: 184 grams
- Battery: 3220mAh
- Processor: 2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with quad-core CPU (APQ 8084-AB), Adreno 420 GPU
- Memory: 3GB of RAM
- Camera: 13MP IMX 214 Image Sensor
- Connectivity: Micro USB, 3.5mm headset jack
- Bluetooth Technology: Bluetooth version 4.1 LE
- SIM Card: Nano-SIM
- Networks: GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSPA+, 4G LTE
The details, which picture one of the best flagship phone ever assembled, clearly indicate that buyers are getting their money's worth, every cent of it as the Nexus 6 has the chops to square off with nemesis out there.
And per The Verge, the Amazon offer of $349.99 for the 32GB Nexus 6 is far better than what Motorola dangles with the Moto X 2015, which starts at $399. Realized savings can be up to $150 as the 2014 Nexus flagship currently sells at $499 at the Google Play Store.
It should be noted though that out of the box, the Nexus 6 rocks the latest Android Lollipop version but since it gets update directly from Google it will soon absorb the Android 6.0 Marshmallow the moments the OS become available. And the device will practically in the same league with any of the Nexus 2015 handset models.
One more reason to like the Nexus 6, The Verge said, is it serves as the pilot device for Google's Project Fi that aims to provide fast and uninterrupted broadband wireless connection to Android device users. The project should progress into full blast shortly after the rumored Google Nexus 2015 release date on September 29.
