Google's newest phone: Nexus 6

The pre-orders of the Nexus 6 have officially started and the phone is set to release. This article is not one to describe the capabilities of the phone but rather to talk about the the decisions that were made in making this phone. The most obvious of those decisions was to make the phone bigger, quite a bit bigger actually. The previous Nexus 5 was about a five inch display and the Nexus 6 is a six inch screen. One wonders if the size of the phone will be a plus for the phone or a negative. Bigger phones in general are not wildly popular. An example of the not so large popularity of larger phones is the sales of the iPhone 6 compared to the iPhone 6 plus. The iPhone 6 is out selling the iPhone 6 plus three to one. Also since we are on the subject of one phone being in two different sizes why didn't Google didn't create two different sizes of this phone it would be a good assumption that two different sizes of this model would draw more people to the phone. However most likely the reason why there isn't a smaller version of the Nexus 6 is it would be very similar to the Moto x that was recently released. Another obvious decision that that was made was the one to make a higher price phone. The nexus 6 is takes a different route than the previous Nexus phones in terms of pricing. The previous Nexus phones were priced lower than that of the competition. However the Nexus 6 is retail priced at $682.99 which is a bit higher than most phones on the market today. From what I have seen of the reviews is that the phone has its advantage but will that mean success that answer is something we will have to wait on.
