I was pretty shocked how bad the screen is, scored something like #26 of 28 phones in brightness, similarly poor with saturation accuracy. Arstechnia seems to think the slow I/O is the worst offender for the general laggyness. Read bandwidth was 73% of the nexus 5, 37% of a note 4, and 30% of the Moto X 2014 (well regarded for it's responsiveness).
Pretty disappointing. Too bad google didn't pick something like the droid turbo/Moto Maxx for the next nexus device.
- chdir 12y agoAgreed. I hope that's the take home message for Google. They started something good with Nexus and made it better with Moto . But 2014 has been a disappointment so far. Hope the successor of Nexus 6 addresses all these issues (and pray it's not called Nexus 7).
- muppetman 12y agoThe reason the Disk IO is so slow is due to encryption being the default in Lollipop! https://plus.google.com/+JeremyCamp1337/posts/iDyPjEuEf51 https://plus.google.com/+JeremyCamp1337/posts/iDyPjEuEf51
