The LG Nexus 5 (2015) and the Huawei Nexus 6
(2015) are right around
the corner. If the leaks on
Google's upcoming Marshmallow pair wasn't enough of an indication the previous
Motorola Nexus 6 was pretty expensive comparing to the current coming version
of Nexus.
Originally launched at $650, the Nexus 6 now goes
for $350 on Amazon.com, $150 off, compared to the previous price cut. That's
for the 32GB storage version, while doubling the internal memory still commands
a $50 premium.
At
$350, or even at $400 for the 64GB, the Nexus 6 poses a serious threat to
Motorola's own brand new Moto X Pure Edition
(The Moto X Style).
The pre-orders for the unlocked Moto X Pure Edition started a few
days ago, but the year-old Nexus 6 has a few trump cards over it,
and now that the price difference is out of the way, it may end up
cannibalizing its sales.
Optical image stabilization, larger display,
superior GPU, larger battery with built-in inductive charging are all in Nexus' favor. The Moto X Pure does have a much higher resolution main camera with faces
detection, and its front shooter has an LED flash on top of being
higher-resolution too. A microSD slot is present on the Pure and not on the 6,
and it's hard to beat Motorola's customization options. A very tough call
between these two.
