As a single data point, I recently dropped and shattered my trusty Nexus 4 and was in a market for a new phone. I was extremely hesitant about getting a Nexus 6, exactly because I thought it was way too big. I finally bit the bullet, and I instantly loved it. Yes, you need two hands to do most things. My thumb can't reach Android's "back" button on the 6. But what I realized was that with the Nexus 4, I also couldn't reach everything with just my thumb. "Back" was within reach, but the upper right and left weren't fully. So while yes, the 6 isn't strictly as comfortable as the 4 was, the bigger screen is a minor tradeoff I'm ultimately very happy with. It also barely fits in my pocket, so the jury's still out as to whether that makes it more prone to slipping out while seated. I'm not sure I want jeans with deeper pockets just to accommodate my phone. But it hasn't been an issue yet. (Now if manufacturers would just improve the process they use to make these hi-DPI screens so that the color temperature isn't splotchy. My Nexus 6 suffers from a pinkish bottom half, and apparently it's not an uncommon issue for hi-DPI smartphones and non-Retina-brand hi-DPI laptops.)
