without any further ado let's get right into it this is the unboxing and first impressions I have on the Nexus 6 alright well here we are with the actual Nexus 6 in this large box I actually have my lens pretty wide out because I have to have it that way in order to have this box fit in the damn frame but in any case we do have the Motorola logo here on the bottom with all of the information the actual book box itself doesn't really have anything to it it's literally just a 6 on the front but without any further ado we're gonna jump right in and here it is the Nexus 6 you can race you right there it's a pretty big phone we already knew it was going to be but what is it going to feel like in the hand we're gonna find out right now that's a pretty big phone with a 6 inch screen from diagonal right here we have a large body that has the same look as the Moto X that's pretty much the big takeaway here is that it is a larger Moto X but this time around we do have a indentation here for the Motorola logo that is a lot like the original Moto X but of course we have Nexus on the side right here I have the white version here and it does look pretty nice but like I said already a couple of times this is just a blown-up Moto X that's the main takeaway here we're gonna go ahead and put that on the side and let's see what we have in the rest of the box Nexus right here finally a little bit of color with the orange right here and what we have are the pieces of documentation that are available probably the sim tray tool that's third yup there it is let's see what that looks like yep this entry tool right there and then of course a little bit of documentation inside this box alright get that squared away let's go and put that right there and then under here we also have a micro USB charging cable and the brick for the charging adapter right there it's kind of a larger brick I'll confirm and you'll see in the annotation right here on the corner if this is exactly as if this is actually a fast charger for the Nexus 6 because it does the brick looks a little bit bigger than I expected it to so it's entirely false that it might be but nonetheless very simple very easy those are the end contents of the box including the Nexus 6 itself and here we are taking a look around the device again you can see already that this is a very large phone six inches is what you get in the screen size and it makes for an entire device that is pretty pretty hard to handle in just one hand for plenty of people out there this might be okay as a lot of people out there really like larger displays and larger phones but for me it's gonna take some getting used to I have not used a six-inch phone as my daily driver in quite a while but what I will tell you is that as far as the handling goes it is actually not that bad moto has a lot of prowess when it comes to their ergonomic on their particular devices as the Moto X has proven and in the Nexus 6 actually does help a little bit to have that curve on the side and this metallic frame is pretty thin on the sides which allows for pretty easy grip and especially when you consider that this is a very big device when compared to the Moto X which kind of slipped around in my hand because of its somewhat smaller size and thinner sides because of its that being said though what happens underneath are all of the big specifications that make this one of the most powerful phones available including a quad HD display out on which we have some plastic and I'm going to remove that right now and with that we have the phone in its glory and the buttons over here still have the volume rocker below the power button but nonetheless we're going to reach that pretty easily because it's lower on the device and get this thing powered up right away as I go through the initial set up I'm already going to be seeing some differences in Android after all this is Android 5.0 lollipop that we're going to have and you can already see that the welcome screen is a little bit different and I actually hit the volume rocker over here and you can see that the volume indicator is actually different as well being right at the top flat design as has been androids case in previous iterations most recently but we're gonna go ahead and just jump right through everything looks really nice to be honest I'm really excited to put lollipop through its paces home screens here we are in the actual home screen itself and wow look at that Android L does seem to have a very nice look to it everything seems to transition beautifully and there should be optimizations across the board when it comes to this let's look at the notification drop-down there it is the one that UE we're all kind of looking forward to no notifications means that you can still see everything behind it it's not just a huge shade and then if you swipe down even more from the top you'll get a larger version of the time at the top a shortcut to the settings and here are all of the quick settings and even easier fashion and you can see how that just moves in and out it just looks really nice I really do enjoy that Google camera is the camera that we have there and here's recent apps we have the cards right there very nice and you are still able to do a google search from right there Google now is still up from the bottom and you can see that little animation looks really nice as well so keep it tuned to Android authority I just wanted to bring you this first look and quick unboxing on the Nexus 6 we finally have our review unit we're actually absolutely excited to get our hands and to really put this phone through all of the tests and we're going to see how this large version of the Nexus Fairs when compared to the rest of the market and this is pretty much Google going all in with all specifications and pretty much every detail when it comes to their new Nexus smartphone and we're really excited to see how it stacks up so
