great display, pure android, solid feel, battery+
I've owned just about every Nexus device since the Nexus One, with the exception of the Nexus 5. This is by far my favorite Nexus phone since the Nexus One.
People say this phone is large, too large for some people. To be honest I was a bit afraid of this. But after a couple months of use I have had no problems. In fact, I don't think I could go back to a smaller device. This phone has not only replaced my Nexus 4 but also my 2012 Nexus 7 tablet.
The display on this phone is amazing. It may not have the ppi of the very best samsung display but it is so good you cant tell the difference. And what is important is the size. Perfect for watching movies, playing games, and browsing the web. You definitely don't have to squint to use this phone.
The build quality of the device is great. It takes the best parts of the Moto X design (one of my favorites) and incorporates it into the phone with a metal frame. I've dropped it a couple times and dont have a scratch. Only downside is the phone is a bit heavy but really adds to its solid feel.
Battery life is great, much better than my Nexus 4. One feature I love is the motorola rapid charger that comes with the device, you can give it a really quick boost in a matter of minutes, which will give the phone hours of extra usage time.
Of course the real reason you buy this phone is that it's a Nexus device. That means it gets the latest and greatest version of Android from Google before every other phone. Google also updates these far into the future. It keeps the phone feeling new and fresh long after other phones would normally feel old and dated. Stock Android is the way Android is meant to be and boy is Lollipop love
