The Unboxing and First Look of the Nexus 6: A Review
As I take a look at this phone, it's clear that this is definitely larger than most other phones on the market. It has a 5.9-inch display, which is one of the largest displays I've seen on any device so far. Besides the impressive screen size, there are several other interesting features about this phone that I'm excited to explore.
One of the first things I notice when picking up the Nexus 6 is its weight. It's surprisingly light for a phone of this size and build quality. The phone has a metal ring around the sides, similar to the Moto X, which gives it a premium feel in the hand. However, I was slightly surprised by how light it feels compared to my expectations. Overall, despite its large screen size, the Nexus 6 feels surprisingly compact.
As I wait for the phone to boot up, I'll compare it to some other similar devices on the market. Alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which has a 5.7-inch display, I notice that the Nexus 6 is slightly taller and wider due to its larger screen size. The iPhone 6 Plus, with its 5.5-inch display, is nearly as tall as the Nexus 6 but slightly thinner. Lastly, I'll also show it alongside the Droid Turbo, another Motorola phone that's slightly more compact but has a similar thickness profile.
As the setup process begins, I'm impressed by how easy it is to sign in with my Google account for the first time using two-step authentication. This feature is one of the standout features of Android 5.0, and I'm happy to see it being utilized so seamlessly. If you're interested in learning more about Lollipop on the Nexus 5, be sure to check out my previous video.
During the setup process, I'll also restore the phone from a previous device that I've used. While I have access to other Android devices, I prefer to start fresh with new devices and set up everything as is.
After completing the initial setup process, I'm now in the home screen of Android 5.0 Lollipop. The interface looks stunning, thanks to Google's Material Design aesthetic. Everything feels smooth and responsive, indicating that this phone should handle the latest software with ease.
As I explore the new features and settings on the Nexus 6, I'll make sure to leave a comment section open for our readers to provide feedback and suggestions for what they'd like to see covered in my full review video.
Before proceeding, I want to take a quick look at the messaging app. The redesigned interface is both functional and visually appealing. Users can still utilize Hangouts as a messaging app if they prefer, but Android's built-in messaging app offers some exciting features and improvements over its predecessor.
The Nexus 6 also comes with Easter egg, which allows users to indulge in some fun activities while exploring the device. For those who are eager to test out this feature, I'll be able to provide a more detailed explanation later on.
For now, let's get into the heart of the matter: putting the Nexus 6 through its paces and testing it out with our full review. As always, we'd love to hear from our readers in the comments section below, so don't hesitate to share any questions or suggestions you may have for what I should test and cover during my upcoming video.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys I'm kbd here and this is the Nexus 99 no I'm just kidding this is the Nexus 6 box and we're going to do a little unboxing it's been a while since I did just an unboxing video of a product and giving my very first Hands-On impressions of something so that's exactly what I'm going to do with this box now this is something that me and a lot of people have been waiting a really long time for and there are some reviews of it out already and I just want to kind of get my first sense of how it feels how it feels in hand and what I think of it so without any further Ado let's go ahead and get this started feel free to leave a thumbs up if you want to see more unboxing videos like this so the Top's off and this is the white Nexus 6 we're going to go ahead and put this to the side just because it's an unboxing I want to see what else is in the package you get this bright red Nexus paperwork uh little kit here and this is where you also have your sim card removal and your instructions that happen to have the number six on it and some other neat stuff I'm going to put that to the side and you also get your charger your fast charger actually and the USB cable so this is what's going to help you get that super fast turbocharging we will be testing this stuff in the full review but I'm going to put this right back in the box and move it to the side cuz I want to take a look at the Nexus 6 itself so this is the phone so it's definitely a big phone right off the bat that's the first thing you notice uh and it might not be easy to tell with my hands because you might not have the same size hands as me but this is definitely larger than most of the other phones are going to see it does have a 5.9 in display and a whole bunch of the other things about it that are really interesting besides the fact that it's the first phone running Android 5.0 out the box uh are going to be really interesting to take a look at it's pretty light too although it has that metal ring around the sides like the Moto X so it does feel very similar to that in hand but it is a little bit lighter than I I guess I thought it would be just by looking at it I'm going to fire it up but I also want to show it alongside some other similar devices so while it's booting here we can see it alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 which has a 5.7 in display uh it's a little bit taller than the Note 4 and it's a little bit wider than the Note 4 of course you get that 5.9 in display so it should be a little wider uh I'm also going to show it alongside the iPhone 6 Plus which has a 5.5 in display but is nearly as big in fact it's about as tall as the iPhone 6 Plus and looking at the thickness it's a little bit thicker obviously but it has a much larger battery so again very similar in terms of the whole big phone market uh another one just for fun since uh the review of is coming soon enough uh the Droid Turbo so the Droid Turbo is a little smaller it's more compact but it is actually about as thick as the dry turbo since they're both Motorola phones but anyway it is on let's go ahead and do the setup so the setup process should be pretty easy I'm not expecting too many complications or anything but right off the bat the first thing I notice is the display is really beautiful as it should be I mean it's a Quad HD display Big Bright Beautiful screen so one thing I noticed is with the setup process the using twostep authentication to sign into your Google account for the first time is much easier on Android 5.0 I also noted that in my video about Android 5.0 on the Nexus 5 so I'll link that below of course that's a video you should check out if you're interested in lollipop but uh we just go ahead and get right into this also is going to ask me to restore from a previous device that I've used so I have a couple of other Android devices obviously as you can tell but I do want to set this up as a new device and not import anything crazy uh just get this started fresh so let's just get right into Android hopefully it'll bring me to my home screen in a second yes I'm in for Google now and give me a second and we should be right to Android 5.0 Lollipop so there it is wallpaper widgets and all the fun so this is material design at its finest of course it should be optimized and shouldn't really stutter at all and it should work just fine on this Hardware uh I will be testing a lot of things for the full review so basically I want to ask if you guys have anything specific that you want to see in the full review video which will be coming in a couple of weeks when I get to test and use this phone more leave it in the comments section below here's the new messaging app it's obviously totally redesigned versus the old one but you can still use Hangouts of course as a messaging app if you want uh but yeah let me know in the comments what you want to see you have all these new icons here you have this whole new user interface uh and a whole bunch of new things about this phone to test out so that's all what I want to test and you guys are going to help me make this review hopefully the most thorough one possible uh but so far that's been it so quick unboxing quick First Look a very fast video of the Nexus 6 also leave a thumbs up if you want to see a Nexus 9 unboxing video or something along those lines uh just getting my first impressions of the device but that has really been a super quick first video let's just go into the Easter egg for kicks since uh I know that people want to
