Just realised that there's another factor to consider, Nexus 6 uses a nano sim whereas the Note 4 uses a micro sim.
My existing sims are micro so I'd need a nano sim. :(

There's a guide online for cutting if that's the case. (I forget which one is smaller, but I think it's the micro)

The nano is the smaller.
Looking at the pictures online the micro won't cut down. It's a completely different thing. :(

This was shared in another thread a little while ago.

Cheers JK, I think I'm going to ask my provider for a nano sim and go for the Nexus 6.
That 6 inch screen is calling to me. :)

It's a no issue, if you are on verizon you can order a new sim card or go into a corp store and get on for free. the biggest issue is the cost imo, if you can swing $700 for a phone out of contract.

The bug that reboots the nexus 6 when you enter the pin code is VERY annoying.

In my opinion, both phones are very similar in specification, so a lot will rest on how much Google decides to charge for each version of the Nexus 6 before we can begin to call it either way. I am already very impressed with the Galaxy Note 4, but if the Nexus 6 can carry all the new Moto X's great features over to a larger, more powerful handset, then we suspect the Nexus 6 may inch in front of the Note 4 to become our new favorite phablet.

Well I did it this morning, I had a play with both in the store and I'm now the proud owner of....










A Note 4. :)

The lack of external memory was the fly in the ointment for me.

As many of us said previously, I don't think you'd be disappointed either way, but I'm sure you'll be more than pleased with your decision! Congrats!

I went and did it....



I am now the proud owner of a Nexus 6

It performs exactly like the 5 which I traded in.

Why? The screen is bigger and the memory, at 32gb, is twice the size.

Also the sound with dual forward facing speakers is much better.

I want one bad. I just don't have the $$ to pay for the device. My N5 and Moto X will have to do for now.
