With the new iPhone 6 Plus as the current benchmark of phablet performance, several companies have made it clear that they are not just sitting around and let Apple run them to the ground. They have upgraded their flagship smartphones and included features not available in iPhone 6 Plus.

One interesting option came from Motorola Nexus 6, which made its debut last 15 October and will compete with Apple's newly launched gadget.

It will be an interesting comparison though because Nexus 6 isn't like all the other Android smartphones out there. However, like the iPhone 6 Plus, the hardware and software were tailor-made and integrated to work together harmoniously.

One of the things that sets consumers back from buying iPhone 6 Plus is its somewhat fragile body as proven by the recent 'bendgate' controversy. While your iPhone 6 Plus might not necessarily bend, it isn't as strong as the other smartphones out there, such as the Moto X, Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4.

Nexus 6 was also adjudged as having the 'Best-in-Class' performance thanks to a Snapdragon 805 SoC. The ‘4K Ultra HD processor,’ is designed to enable end-to-end 4K Ultra HD mobile user experiences, including capturing and playing back 4K Ultra HD video at home and on-device, as well as more realistic gaming, and up to 55MP digital photos, along with outstanding battery life for premium smartphones and tablets.

Other advantages of Nexus 6 compared to iPhone 6 Plus include the following:
  • It was first smartphone to get Android L, which means it will also probably be first in line for Android updates in the near future.
  • It will be the smartphone showcasing Google's vision of Android, allowing it to offer an extremely modern and flawless user experience.
  • It has excellent imaging thanks to a 13 megapixel auto-focus camera with optical image stabilization and dual-LED (ring) flash.
  • The 6-inch QHD Display it featured is one of the best available and will result in some stunning visuals.
  • The casing is extremely solid build quality thanks to aluminium frame and sturdy design.
  • It has a sizeable 3220 mAh battery unit for all-day battery life (and maybe some more).
Despite the impressive features of Nexus 6, many experts still believed that it won't be enough knocking the iPhone 6 Plus off from its perch. While the 'bendgate' controversy may have scarred the product's reputation a bit, Apple's iPhone 6 Plus still offered one of the smoothest and most premium smartphone experiences out there in terms of performance, imaging and convenience.

The Nexus 6 may have powerful processing, solid imaging capabilities, and is expected to offer the smoothest Android experience on any smartphone out there, it is still a second ot third-best option. While some might like its 6in form factor, most smartphone users others are bound to find it a handful compared to iPhone 6 Plus.
