For
a good long time there, Apple was resistant to making really big phones
– the kind that fit the mold of being a phablet. This year, however,
they finally entered that new space with the iPhone 6 Plus.
Arguably, it’s the beefier and more compelling iPhone for phablet
lovers with its massive screen diagonal and all. Just arriving on the
scene, however, the Google Nexus 6
is already making some serious noise with its fresh Android 5.0
Lollipop experience, so it’ll be intriguing to see how it can try to
propel itself in reaching the same highly sought out status as Apple’s
pride and joy.
Design
The Nexus 6 is far sturdier and more attractive than most other Nexus phones, but it still lacks the meticulous, premium finish of the iPhone 6 Plus.
We applaud the Nexus 6 for the sturdier construction and more appealing design it has over the Nexus phones of previous years, but in comparing it to the iPhone 6 Plus, it can’t quite match its premium finish. It’s simply plastic versus metal here, as the iPhone 6 Plus’ aluminum body exudes the more luxurious feel. However, when it comes to drops, we feel that the Nexus 6 would fare better – especially if these guys are impacting concrete or something hard. We already know that the iPhone 6 Plus is a handful to operate, but the Nexus 6 is bigger in every way – it’s wider, taller, thicker, and heavier.
Due to the premium finish of the iPhone 6 Plus, its power button and volume controls feel more solid – whereas the Nexus 6’s set are thin and less distinct. Over on the Nexus 6, we really appreciate that it features dual front-firing speakers, which are more ideal because they disperse audio towards us. Meanwhile, the iPhone 6 Plus differentiates itself by incorporating a Touch ID finger print sensor into its home button. Honestly, it’s a special amenity that has its usefulness in securing the device and making payments via Apple Pay.
