Nexus 6 review: Google’s big beast has just had a price cut
Google’s flagship smartphone is big and bold, but it can’t quite live with the best large-screen handsets around
Update: Google has cut the price of the Nexus 6 on the Google Store. The handset now costs £399 for the 32GB model and £479 for the 64GB version. That’s quite a reduction from the original prices of £499 and £579.
The changes don’t change my overall opinion of the phone, which you can read about in the review below. I still like it a lot; it’s just that with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 now also available for around the same amount of money, it still isn’t quite cheap enough. Still, if you like your phones big – and, make no mistake, the Nexus 6 is certainly that – it’s more tempting than before, and currently it’s the only choice if you like to tinker with early versions of Android.
The Nexus 6 heralds a new era for Google’s flagship mobile devices. Previously, its phones have packed plenty of hardware in at great prices, but sometimes at the expense of slick design. This year, its new phone goes all out, upping the price, the specifications, the size and the design. Google wants the Nexus 6 to be a no-compromise competitor to the best smartphones on the market.
