I really need to see a comparison between 6P, Moto X Pure, and current 6. Those are the phones I need to decide between. Current 6 only b/c it should get cheap and the Snapdragon 820 comes out next year, but I'm not sure I can wait a year with my aging Moto X 2013.

Maybe it's not worth it to you but I'd love to see a comparison between the phones you listed but also toss the iPhone 6S+ in there. I don't have any brand loyalty and bounce back and forth between iOS and Android so it's always helpful for me when someone includes the iPhone in comparison.

  Would be a nice edition for other's without brand loyalty. I just have no desire to ever switch into the Apple ecosystem, and I've significantly bought into Google's

I was looking at the same phones as you a few weeks ago, then the Nexus 6 price dropped to $350 on Amazon and I quickly jumped on it. Pretty solid phone for the price.

  That's what's making me consider it. The Nexus 6 is a solid phone (my wife has it), it has wireless charging, a good camera, the Nexus brand - everything I want. It's just no longer "top of the line." It'll have Marshmallow, so if it's cheap enough.. it's worth getting it and waiting for the 820 and hopefully new top of the line phones from Motorola and Google next year making use of them.

    I actually just bought the Nexus 6 (moments ago) thanks to the above poster for mentioning the price drop. It is going to replace my N5. Personally, i don't care about the "top of the line issue" in this case. As it stands, i absolutely love my N5. It is every bit the phone i want, and need. Price point is, of course, a huge part of it. Is it a $700 phone? Probably not. But my value of it is far higher than retail price ($250). So i guess what i'm saying is, because i love my N5 so much, i don't "need" better. The N5X just feels like the same (but a bit better) phone, and since my N5 is still operating great, i have no need for it. On the flipside, the N6P is a bit too spendy for it's (personal) value. The Amazon price of the N6 on the otherhand, definitely raises the value bar, for me. Quality with lower price points (N5 land) just makes me a really happy customer, totally willing to spend the coin.

I would not recommend the Moto X Pure. I have last year's Moto X Pure, here's my short summary (my personal opinion, so feel free to reply and explain why you disagree): pros: - good feel in the hand; not easy to drop - like the choices for back, etc. - decent camera for an Android device - reasonable price - superfast charging with Quick Charger - mostly-stock android UI (read on though) - Motorola UI customisations can usually be disabled in favour of Android stock version (e.g. Lock screen) cons: - Motorola software updates significantly lag behind nexus devices; took a long time to get stagefright security fix - over a dozen spontaneous phone reboots for no apparent reason during last year (i have very few apps installed, so it seems unlikely to be due to that, and apps should never be able to cause that anyway) - catastrophic and mysterious phone shutdown which lead to rebooting to a black screen, which the only option for recovering from was a factory reset (which meant I lost all of the data I hadn't backed up yet, which for me, was some pictures I had taken but hadn't backed up) - poor battery life - signal strength / reliability not as good as my spouse's iPhone 6 plus; they often have data when I don't, even though we have same carrier (AT&T) - Some Motorola add-on software not removable - Some Motorola customisations conflict with Android standard customisations which leads to weird UI interactions problems sometimes (mostly the lock screen) My previous phone was a Nexus 5, which the software experience was generally better on since I got updates on a timely basis. However, the hardware experience was pretty poor (made by LG) and I went through two replacements due to GPS issues.

  I have the Moto X not-pure for Verizon. I've had I think three spontaneous reboots, no catastrophic shutdown, seemingly identical signal strength to my iPhone, and while the battery is indisputably not a strength of Moto X, I reliably finish my day with 40% charge or so (and I run an app that continuously samples and sends my location in the background). The Motorola software is indeed annoying, I wish it updated Android editions a bit faster, and specifically the lock screen doesn't interface that well with Android stuff.

  I had an issue with my 2013 X (random reboots, repaired within two days), but the X 2014 has been very solid for me. Upgrades weren't as fast as I would have hoped (still waiting for the Stagefright fix in Germany), but hearing about issues that people had with the N5 (constantly crashing camera app, no voice during calls, etc.), I am a happy camper :). I currently have no clue what's next. The Style (Pure) would be the spiritual successor to the 2014, but the Play has a much larger battery and can be purchased with dual-SIM in some EU countries. I was also looking at the Nexus, but I am a bit underwhelmed by the 5X (the 6P is too big for me). I guess I'll look how Motorola is with updates the coming months and then go with the Play.
