Just curious as to what the next Android device you want to get? Things keep advancing so fast, quad cores are coming to trend now and with Kit-Kat, there are a lot of possibilities. I'm considering switching from Sprint to AT&T, to get the LG G2! I'm so tired of Sprint and how crazy slow they are... I can get more, and significantly faster data with AT&T. The beizels on the G2 are a huge selling point for me, fitting a 5.2 inch screen into the same form factor as an HTC One is impressive. Not to mention the quad core 2.2 GHz processor on it... That's ridiculous, and I love my Nexus, but my god, that makes this look average... What about y'all?

I know what you mean! Things are progressing at such a ridiculous rate in the mobile world; its incredible. Especially Intel. They've made an absolutely shocking amount of progress in the past year. They've basically done what took ARM companies 3-4 years in 12 months. I'm really looking forward to Intel chips in our smartphones and tablets; we'll finally be able to crush Apple's in-house designs!
As for my next device, I'm definitely going to be getting the Nexus 5. A 5" device with a Snapdragon 800, OIS, Android 4.4 and other incredible hardware? Count me in! I sold my Galaxy Nexus a few weeks back, after the Nexus 4 price drop (I got a shockingly good price for it, too) in preparation for the N5. Now, I realize that SOME of the leaked specifications may not be totally accurate, but I am also hoping that we get the 5" display in the smaller-than-Nexus 4 frame. That would totally sell it for me.
I will probably will continue to use my galaxy nexus until it dies. It have been an excellent phone.
If it dies however I will buy the Nexus 5 midst likely.
I don't think i could use anything else other than a Nexus and be happy with it. Mainly because of the updates.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. Used the Spencer features and they can't be beat if doing a large amount of sketching.
But I may wait until spring as the N10 is still great. Use a capacitive stylus with good results.
I only got the Nexus 10 this summer, so I'm good with my tablet for a long while I hope.
My Droid RAZR M I got last October, so I would sooner replace that. If I decide to leave Verizon next time, then I may well go for a Nexus for a phone as well. I love getting the latest official updates OTA.

I actually gave this some more thought, and I do not think I will go Nexus on my next phone for one reason, I want to keep a microsd slot. I keep a ton of music and other files on my phone I simply don't need on my tablet, and it irritates me such a simple convenience is being phased out by so many new phones. Screw the cloud model, I want my files on me when I want them without a connection.

Sigh... me, too. I've been wanting to come on this thread and pledge allegiance to the phone I hope the Nexus 5 will be. If it's a Snapdragon 800 / Adreno 330 / 1080p / 3000 mAh G2 with standard button placement and at least 2 Gb of RAM... running pure, unbloated, updated Android... then the Nexus 5 will be a stun-gun of a phone for 2013. (darn it... just drooled on my N10.)
But... we get all that and no removable memory? I know, that would mean space, weight, cost, whatever. But Samsung can do it on their flagships (with the added benefit of replaceable batteries). Seems like such a simple thing for winning freedom from needing access to a good WiFi signal.
If the N5 overcomes the N4's hardware limitations that now prevent the use of Nexus Media Importer -- and along with it the unrooted read/write use of USB card readers & memory sticks -- that'd go a long way. Let's just say I'm not holding my breath, since Google appears to have a different agenda.
For a brand that touts such an open OS, the box they put it in sure is closed.

OK... But you had to pay a lot more for that 32GB model I bet. My Droid RAZR M came with 8GB built in, and for only $20 I added another 32GB. I can even upgrade it to a 64GB microsd for less than $50. Good luck trying to get that kind of bargin upgrade on a non-microsd phone. Another added benefit... Let's say your phone meets an untimely death in the laundry machine, well at least with microsd your photos and music are perfectly safe.

I've got my eye on a couple of future devices.
I'm hoping with the SG Note 3, the LG G2 -- and hopefully the Nexus 5 -- already or soon to be running the Snapdragon 800, we'll start to see some cool 64-bit apps. When the 64-bit world takes hold, that could be a nice time to pick up a SG S5. Samsung should have multitasking to a new level by then, too.

Hope Snapdragon 800 has better battery management than Snapdragon 600 or else i wouldnt worth it to upgrade imho. The speed upgrade means nothing, only think that makes your phone faster is a well tuned rom/kernel. My ex Galaxy S3 with Cm10.2 and a custom kernel is the fastest thing i've ever used by a ridiculous mergin. Everything happens instanlty and its last gen,
Also my HTC ONE with the 4.3 official Rom is also like a new phone. So much faster and battery life is like 2x what it used to be.
SideNote for Lg G2. Will lg EVER make a decent looking phone? I am sorry but i dont care if Lg G2 is the best phone ever released, its so boring looking i would never consider buying.
Maybe Nexus 5, need to wait and see
I agree, the G2 looks kinda plain -- at least while viewing it on a 2D screen. Could be pretty comfortable in the hand, though, with those backside curves. I was a little surprised, papakaliati, to hear you say you're interested in the Nexus 5 after what you had to say about LG and specifically their G2. Most folks are thinking it will be LG manufacturing the Nexus 5 and that it'll look a lot like the G2.
Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 32GB model. Already have it on pre-order. I had always said that the perfect device would be the Note 10.1 with the Nexus 10 screen, and voila! Can't wait!
An 8 inch Android tablet, probably the LG G Pad 8.3 because it's the first one to have 1080p. Or the next Note 8.0.
The Nexus 10 is too big to play games, etc.
Also maybe the next Nexus 5.

I agree that there's no point in trying to go any faster than 'instantly' ...sounds like you had a sweet setup with your S3!
With Kit Kat supposedly supporting ARM-64 and with Qualcomm, Tegra & Exynos -- and AMD & Intel? -- all producing 64-bit mobile processors in 2014, some interesting 64-bit applications might not be far behind, as well as some significant energy demands, like you've pointed to. I bet power-management & battery-design teams are putting in all-nighters to bring us more innovations like big.LITTLE... and to overcome the downsides of lithium-sulfur technology, which could increase battery life by a factor of 4.
Yeah, I wasn't talking about new processors running 32-bit apps faster, though there will, of course, be some performance gains as we'll as some overhead hits. I was thinking about the new capabilities heading our way once applications cross over into 64-bit territory -- whenever that is -- and not just better encryption and data-bunkering.
We'll be looking at real-time audio and image editing, providing such things as on-the-fly video-effects management... and faster vector processing, which game devs will surely take advantage of, like Infinity Blade III has for Apple's new phone. I'm eager to see the impact of 64 bit on multimedia multitasking. General improvements in multitasking could get us to the 32-bit 4Gb RAM ceiling surprisingly soon.
After that, the 64-bit RAM upper limit of 16 Exbibytes -- 17.18B Gigabytes -- should hold us a while!

They already have pics of the nexus 5 and a 3d rendering. You should check them out. The phone is a. Little plain. They got rid of the glass back and went with that rubbery plastic which is better durability i guess but not as good looking. They also got a bigger screen then nexus 4 with a smaller frame. :sly:

I'm on the fence between this and the nexus 4. I was at the at&t store the other day holding the OG and it wasnt that bad. I know quadrant scores are nothing to make a final decision on but was impressed, it was getting similar scores to the htc one x+ averaging no less than 7500. The note 2 couldnt get that high. Its true that the led notification is only one color? I thought it was RGB? I couldnt really test that at that store.
Would ROM's from our Nexus 4's really work on the OG? Loving the N4 but I also like the OG.

My justification on getting the LG Optimus G on At&t (it being on At&t is an important distinction):
1.) The phone is the basis for the Google Nexus 4, save it's design is nicer. I perfer the blocky lock. This also means it is currently hardware wise the strongest SoC in a phone on the market. This will change within the hour (j/k) but for what it's worth you have that.
2.) 2gb RAM. This is important particularly in the Android domain, as the more RAM you have the less application crashing and home screen crashing you will have. This crashing behavior is apparent on my current mini pro (only has 512 meg RAM) and the iPad 1 (only has 256 meg RAM) which both crash almost constantly.
3.) Expandable memory. It has a microSD slot. The Nexus 4 does not, and the Optimus G international and Sprint versions do not.
4.) LTE. This is nice but not really that serious to me I've been happy with what the mini has been able to provide (3g+). Still i should be able to get faster speeds on my phone the my home connection.
5.) the phone has already been rooted.
6.) unlocking of the bootloader is being worked on, and there are clear signs it can be accomplished. If this were to happen you could put whatever ROM you want on the phone. The obvious choice, being the Nexus 4 ROM. Since the hardware is almost identical, minus wireless charging in the G, this would almost a be plug and play option. The robust XDA crowd will have it sorted in now time. Which means you'd have a Nexus 4 on a better more expandable platform, with LTE.
7.) Price. Subsidized it's $100-150 cheaper. Since you'll be paying for the wireless plan anyway why not lock yourself in? That said, I FULLY support Google's initiative by making the phone affordable, unlocked, and off contract. I believe anything that gives the consumer more choice should be applauded. The wireless carrier systems in the US are just out dated and stupid.
So I wrote this before the unlock was solid, and but now that we know it's unlocked and custom ROMs are a go this phone makes an even better choice. So now you can have it all.

Minus the development support. I understand the bootloader has been currently unlocked, but it's definitely gonna be a while til we see the devs start jumping on this. Just my opinion. Trust me, I am really hoping this device takes off. Getting tired of Samsung and lack of source for the Exynos phones.
Is there a list of devs that will be supporting this device?
My N4 won't be here til 3 to 5 week says Google. But since LTE launched in my area, this phone seems to the best choice for me.
In the meantime, good luck guys, I will be following with great interest.

I think there is going to be a ton of development for this device. For one, anything done on the Nexus 4 will be trival to port over (look at the history of the Nexus S and the Galaxy S). Secondly, it's a flagship phone launched globlly on every major carrier. A crapload of people will have this phone.
The biggest barrier to development I see right now is there are 4 different development forums for this phone and it's ALREADY splintering... I wish they would keep just 1 development forum as once it gets going the same ROMs will work on all the variants, nearly guarenteed. The S3 had the same issue with way too many splintered dev. forums.

The Galaxy S1 phones were fragmented too but we got CM ROMs pretty nicely. The Vibrant died off fast but the Captivate stayed strong. So as long as the Optimus G gets a decent fanbase of developers we should be ok. I'm worried about too many people flocking to Nexus 4 given its price though.
If it is really trivial to port ROMs over, we need some bare minimum support on our side to make sure development goes smoothly at least.

Aww I just bought my nexus 10 2 weeks ago I was hoping it'd be "new" for at least a year lol but I probably wouldn't upgrade since I just got mine also I'd rather have Google team up with another company. It seems that samsungs support for the tablet is very poor.

I doubt it would get approved with a microSD slot. The Nexus line of things are known for not having those these days. I also hope it gets the T658 GPU, or even better a 2nd gen Midgard core. I doubt ill buy an upgrade to this tablet till it has at least those specs to make it worthwhile. The T658 has twice as many shader cores as we do, and twice as many arithmetic pipelines per shader core.
is it gonna be the same resolution as the Nexus 10? please colour calibrate the screen this time Samsung!
Even if it doesn't get released as a Nexus device, it wouldn't stop Samsung from releasing it as their own device.

Like the guy above me said, hit and miss. Some turn out to be true some not, but even if Google were not to approve this tablet, it will come out as Samsung tablet just without the octacore maybe, but it's definitely coming.
I'm so glad I held back from getting the 10, I actually made three attempts to buy one of Google and each time it didn't go through. I'm in Ireland and was using a proxy!
I would like, as someone said, another company to do the next Nexus tablet. HTC would be my first choice then Asus but that probably won't happen.
Anyone think it will be released at Google I/O? I really want a tablet, can't wait much longer!
when is google I/O
Not a chance in the world this will be released at Google IO in a couple weeks.
There has already been talks of the Nexus Nexus 7, so we will see Google confirming final specs and a release date for that. We will probably also see details or a launch of the next Android version as normally happens during Google IO, we will hopefully get details on the next Nexus phone, and we will probably also hear more on Google Glass and probably Google Fiber.

If they are then I will be on the N10 for a while. I really hope Samsung DOESNT get the next Nexus. Their hardware is decent (not great) but they completely ignored this device just like they did the previous Nexus phones.
No dock, no cable using the pogo pins, the cover is overpriced and doesn't do much of anything, useless magnets, etc. It looks like so much could have been supported but Samsung didn't care.
LG showed how it should be done, they got the charger out, MHL, the bumper/case and even the logoless headphones (yeah I know that isnt huge but its more than Samsung has done). And the phone, I had the Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 4 made that phone look and feel like a turd immediately. Considerably better design and a far more rigid chassis.
Not happening. ^^ Nexus devices are rather a solid proof of concept for Android than some experimental whatever. If this 11" thing appears, I think it will be released by Samsung (without Google Nexus label).
I'm kind of hoping that another company picks up the next Nexus 10 other than Samsung as well. I believe ASUS has done a great job with the Nexus 7 and the Transformer series, HTC could knock it out with front facing BoomSound type speakers on a tablet, or even HP which seems to be falling in love with Android, which shoukd have been the case two years ago. Plus new generation of processors are right around the corner that could make for a great device (Tegra 4, Snapdragon 800, Exynos-55something). Having just sold my Transformer Infinity, I'm excited to see what the next generation of devices will be.
Why us this news? Is it such a shock that the Samsung OctoFaux is getting used in a tablet? Is it such a shocker that Samsung is incorporating an SD card slot with dual cameras?
It gets old hearing the same old stuff rehashed or companies 'innovating' while really just using the newest components at a given time. Shock me Samsung, build an aluminum tablet, build a tablet that feels stronger then a thin piece of plastic which pops and creeks when I hold it or gives in the middle (note 10.1 and gtab2)..... that would be news

I'm so glad I held back from getting the 10, I actually made three attempts to buy one of Google and each time it didn't go through. I'm in Ireland and was using a proxy!
I would like, as someone said, another company to do the next Nexus tablet. HTC would be my first choice then Asus but that probably won't happen.
Anyone think it will be released at Google I/O? I really want a tablet, can't wait much longer!

same here, it truly is the best tablet out there but I just couldn't go for it after all the trouble people were having not even about the tablet but the service. And it won't be released, it could be revealed there, and if it is I would not expect it to be out until at least November.

LG showed how it should be done, they got the charger out, MHL, the bumper/case and even the logoless headphones (yeah I know that isnt huge but its more than Samsung has done). And the phone, I had the Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 4 made that phone look and feel like a turd immediately. Considerably better design and a far more rigid chassis.

The wireless charging dock for the Nexus 4 was only released ~6 months AFTER the release of the Nexus 4. That is not 'how it should be done'.
"How it should be done" is that there is a wide range of peripherals available day 1.
Hi everyone. As you know, Android 4.4.4 has just came out, and it's already available on the developers.google.com, and with I/O taking place in just 5 days - the excitement for the future of Android is beyond imagination.
But, this tablet came out 1.5 years ago, and seeing how many updates were already released for N10 starting from 4.2 up 'till 4.4.4 - I'm concerned about one thing: is this the last official update this device will receive? But even if we'll get 4.5/5.0, the support of this tablet will end sooner or later, as the developer community will fade away one day.
So, when the dark hour comes - what will YOU do with your Nexus 10?
I'm having the not-so-great times with mine as the perfomance is slightly disappointing, especially the lack of RAM (only 1GB) and the lack of 3G/LTE capabilities (and having to tether it to my phone isn't always reliable, due to coverage and the battery drain coming from the Hotspot being turned on most of the time, as well as having two devices slowly eating away my data cap (with both devices having autosync on and the N10 being my main connectivity device when I'm not at home, mainly at university),
So, personally, I'm looking for alternatives... and there's quite honestly not so many of them out there :/
But enough about me, what's your call on this matter?
I will keep it and install a custom ROM - long life to AOSP
Or maybe will buy Xiaomi MiPad
I think we will receive two major updates, and that will be the same for Nexus 4.
Still a great Tablet in my opinion. I'm planning on keeping it for sometime to come and will always run latest available ROM.
Ill keep it until it dies. then if there is no new N10, I'll switch to something with HDMI out, probably the Surface 3 RT when it comes out.
Hi,
I'll be keeping it, sure it'll take longer to arrive unnoficial updates, but as long as I receive it I'll be glad. It's still a pretty good device, I guess I'd change it only in 2 more years, and it'll probably be either a new Nexus or a Sony tablet.

My target from when I bought the N10 was to keep it for three years (clock started Mar 2013). I'm hoping my next purchase would have specs such as 64bit processor, 4GB memory, screen size and resolution no less than the N10. I definitely expect a screen color/Gama control app. As media consumption is my primary usage the best color reproduction is essential. The N10 can already handle the highest bit rate video in my collection I'd expect no less but that is not a stretch. I'd also prefer a Qualcomm processor but I'm flexible on that score.
The N10 has been a pleasant surprise in how much I use it. I couldn't have predicted the amount of my media consumption has moved from my PC to the N10. It's been a real eye opener.
Of the current crop of tablets the only one to catch my eye is Samsung's Tab S 10.5, except of course for Knox's ability to detect rooting and the resulting voiding the warranty. That's why both my phone and tablet are Nexus devices. Consumers need to be empowered as we are purchasing not renting despite what some companies think. Maybe the roomered Google's Silver program can provide that option. Knowing me I'll not be able resist rooting after the hardware checks out despite the risk.

1GB available to the user, 1GB eaten away by the crappy Mali HPU, in the end I'm left with ~800MB free if I'm lucky, most of the time it varies from 700 to 500, which is unbearable
Looks like we may have been officially/unofficially retired. No mention of the Nexus 10 in the Android L preview announcement. Looks like it's 4.4.4, which is still fine by me

I'm still happy with mine. An Xperia Tablet Z2 with Nexus branding would get me to upgrade. Nothing else I have seen looks more interesting than my Nexus 10.

When the nexus 10 is no longer listed in the Google Play store then I'll believe it will not be updated with a Nexus 2.
When a tablet is no going to be produced it gets removed from the store.
The fact that it is still there leads me to believe something is still up with it.
But I'll keep mine.
I'm not changing my N10 until Nvidia comes out with a quad core Denver CPU, a Maxwell GPU and at least 4gb of RAM, so most likely at some point in the next year.
Looks like we should be getting the next upgrade. It will extend the life for another year easy. And then count on many devs out there that will do their best to bring future releases. Remember the hp touchpad? It went from gb and now I think is running kk.

I'll keep it for sure. A tablet is not something I'm willing to upgrade as often as my phone.
With a little tweaking this tablet performs really well (custom ROM and kernel, over clocking CPU and GPU). From where I stand, the only thing holding the N10 back somewhat is its 2GB of ram. If it had shipped with 3GB its performance and multitasking would improve tenfold. Although ram management was drastically improved with kit Kat and I can't wait to see what android L does performance wise.
Non the less, I still enjoy it very much!
I love my N10 and will keep it long after it's "retired". It does everything I want it to do. Once it's retired, it will still do everything I want it to do.
I browse, email, and read books on it - that's basically it. I don't care about the latest games or apps.
I know I'm not the typical user though.
I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the Nexus 9? And if I would be worth selling the Nexus 10 and jumping ship out wait until 5.0 lollipop is out and then see how out tablets hold their own.

I'm gonna wait for the update on mine. I really hope it improved the tablets performance and battery life. Because my batteries starting to suck. If it doesn't really make a difference i may sell mine but i probably won't get the nexus 9. I'm waiting to see how the xperia z4 tab turns out because the z3 compact like like a beast though i want something bigger.
Sent from my VS980 4G
I'm going to wait and see what "L" brings to the N10. Still a very good device in my opinion.
Having Similar thoughts!
The specs bump up is not that signficant for an 'upgrade' to N9. I would prefer to hold on the nexus 10 unless there is a very good trade in offer.
Yeah I think I'll wait then. I was so disappointed with the kitkat update as it seemed to of made my tablets performance rubbish. When I had it, it was quick, snappy and a dream then the dreaded update and went down hill from there. I hope the 'L' update sorts that. But I can be doing with the wait haha so jealous of the guys with there nexus 4/5 haha.
I love my N10 and don't really have any issues with it. Like many, I use a custom ROM because it seems to get faster response to bug fixes and has more customizations. At first there were only a few ROMs and now there are many of them to choose. If I were to consider an upgrade, it would be to for possibly a bigger unit such as a 12" or 14" - even though I like the 10".
Already ordered Nexus 9. 10's battery is getting weak, screen has the yellow splotch and keeps getting buggier. I may keep the 10 for use around the house, but it won't stay as my daily user.
I think the nexus 9 looks nice, but I'm keeping my 10.
While I do like 4:3 aspect ratio more thatn 16:9, since I do mostly reading on the tablet, I don't see any big improvement on the Nexus 9, so I'm going to keep my N10 for a while.

'Not significant'?? Well i guess it depends in what area. The screen resolution is similar, but the screen cant possibly be anything other than far better. Its got more up to date Wifi, much much faster RAM and more of it, a CPU thats at least 5x faster in raw terms and a GPU thats an order of magnitude faster at least.
And all those specs on the N9 weren't necessary if Lollipop would truly bring an enormous performance update [emoji6]
I think we (the N10) can also forget the "coloring notification bar" like my N5 has with apps which have Material Design (like Gmail: red; Documents: blue; etc), because we didn't have transcluent not bar either with KitKat.
I'm intersted in seeing how well is N10 going to perform with 5.0, but I'm decided on getting the Nexus 9 anyway - I think the 4:3 9" device is a good compromise for using one device at home and outdoors or at university rather than having two separate devices for each task (I currently go to uni with N10 and use N7 at home due to its weight and portability)

So it won't be transparent in lollipop either? That's sad and just seems like a lazy decision. I highly doubt that it lowers performance. Almost every custom rom has it as translucent and I haven't seen any performance drops on there

I'm still very much sitting on the fence on this one. I use my N10 almost exclusively in portrait mode and find it really heavy and awkward to hold. Plus web browsing (and even PDF editing on large PDF's) on the N10 can still be a sluggish experience. The N9's 4:3 aspect ratio, ~180g weight saving and ultrafast chip would be really helpful in countering my main gripes with the N10.
The initial reviews though don't sound hugely promising - especially about the poor battery life (4-5 hours) and flimsy back cover...
Hm...
Quite a few big reviewers have slated the N9 saying it's simply not worth the price tag.

Most of them have reviewed it before am 800 mb ota came out to fix any issues. They should've waited and Google should've not let them review until the ota was out. Wait for android authority's review they said they're gonna do it after spending a good amount of time with it. Also it's releasing at the same price point as nexus 10 and 20 dollars cheaper than nexus 10 for 32 GB version. So it's not really bad pricing. People just think that because of the nexus 7 being so cheap. Anyways you pretty much get an upgraded processor, upgraded GPU (which is very much needed for nexus 10) boom sound speakers (though the nexus 10 front speakers are pretty decent themselves) more compact device with only 1 inch smaller screen, much lighter and easier to hold. Slight camera upgrade as well. And probably a better screen even though the resolutions are the same. It's not that much of an upgrade over the nexus 10 but it's an update definitely. I myself am sticking with my nexus 10 since for my needs as a media device and some school stuff it's perfectly capable. Maybe I'll upgrade next year but after the nexus 10 I don't think I'll be getting a tablet anymore. More likely I'll get a touch laptop or one of those two in ones.

Well the N10 is both moving much more pixels (1600 x 2560) and the density is higher as well (300 ppi vs 288 ppi).
Will you be upgrading?
most likely to the 5x.. 5.2'' is the perfect size for my hands
no more struggling to search for that one specific song in Google Play while I'm driving

I think that it will be very useful for anyone who travels a lot....however I don't have a use for it yet lol
If it's dual 4G SIMs, rather than one being 3G/4G and the other 2G only, that will be even better.
Thus far many devices only offer dual LTE SIM slots on the higher end models (like the Huawei Honor 7, which only has it on the 64GB model).
Can't wait for this device to drop. I currently have the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, nexus 5 and nexus 6. The 6P will be my new daily driver

Why would you buy the new one? It's rumored to have the same 3gb RAM, smaller battery, smaller screen, same res screen, and a SD810 vs the SD805. I don't get it TBH, the new phone doesn't seem to be an improvement at all.

The Nexus 6P should be revised and better Nexus 6. Not night and day improvement, but a tighter phone.
- Higher DPI screen
- Rumored larger battery 3,450Mah
- Way better build quality over the Moto Nexus 6
- Nicer camera
- Fingerprint scanner
The Huawei Nexus should be a very nice phone. Possibly one of the best Android phones of 2015.
Any word if the new nexus devices will have encryption turned on by defualt? Hate that with the nexus 6
if the Nexus 6P really looks like the leaked images then i rather buy the Nexus 6 of 2014..
cause those leaked images look ugly as hell to me, but thats my opinion.
i am really undecided about buying the "old" nexus 6 that is very good priced (about 410 euros + 75 moneyback from motorola italy) or wait for the new one that will have probably an higher price.
now i am addicted to 5.5" of my oneplus and don't consider to go back to a smaller screen (nexus 5x i.e.).
the motorola offer ends on 30 september, so maybe won't be time for me to see the new nexus and decide to buy the old one....really hard choice
Staying with my 2014 Nexus6 for now! But will try some hands on once the new ones are available....
I had an N6 and have a G4, and whether I drop big $$ on the Huawei Nexus depends on two things: Storage, and availability. Those that remember how difficult it was to get an N6 when it first came out will know what I mean. If Google **** it up and have very limited amounts at release, then I will say screw it and will keep my other phones for a while, or buy a Z5 premium (since it's lethally close to stock Android - I love Sony's UI; it has a micro SD card too!)
I'm praying for micro SD card compatibility in the 6P, but that seems unlikely given the trend of Nexus devices. If we get 128gb of storage - I'm happy. Micro SD means we'll be able to transfer photos and music easier when we flash ROM's and what not, but I'll happily pay a few dollars extra to get more storage regardless. Hopefully those recent rumours about the 128gb internal storage is true, or we get micro SD card compatibility with 32gb of onboard storage.
IMO - the upcoming Nexus 6P is an upgrade if you're not looking for highly increased performance; after all - the 810 is not much of an upgrade from the 805 for gaming, and the 6P will still have 3 gigs of RAM (albeit, I don't understand how people can need more, I understand wanting it though). Those that use their phones for gaming and what not will not reap the benefits of the 6P so much. However, users like me that enjoy a fluid UI (not that the N6 is not fluid, but the 6P is bound to be a tad bit more fluid) and a fingerprint scanner for added security - it'll be a slight upgrade.
Very true...getting an N6...in white and 64gb at launch was next to impossible... More so here in Canada and it really pissed me off.
Nexus launches have always been bad but last year was the worst... I hope the learned from it.

You guys must have forgotten about the historically bad Nexus 4 release ?
The Nexus 4 made the OnePlus One launch look great LOL.
Nexus 4 was nowhere to be found anywhere until like late Jan / early Feb, when it was released in November. It was pretty much out of stock everywhere for 3 months. And when it did go back on sale, was literally sold out again in 30 seconds.
I would expect the Nexus 6P to be bad again. I bet Google underestimates the demand for this one, and expects most to go with the LG Nexus 5X.
I paid 759$ for my sprint n6 to use on att in mid Oct and it was hard to find now have the g4 and just got the moto x pure edition still have 2 n6s just in case I don't like the pure ed lol
