4000 Yuan Nexus 6 What do you think?

As a senior G-powder, from Nexus one began to focus on Google's pro son, and thus met Velan Lee and the Civil Engineering jar and other friends, unfortunately, has not bought a son to use, even after several entanglements last year, also in Nexus 5 and the IPhone 5C Choose between the latter, however, this does not affect my concern about the Nexus 6 released yesterday.

As in the previous Prince series, the six prince in the configuration remains the Android flagship level, but this time the foundry is no longer LG, but chose to have been sold to Lenovo by Google Motorola, in fact, Nexus 6 more like a MOTO X of the plus version, and MOTO x In my eyes is the best Android at the moment (note that it's not the old hemisphere). In particular, it is worth mentioning is 5.95-inch large screen, see the Tab S on the large size AMOLED screen shock effect of a friend must have a deep experience, the system also from the motorcycle custom version Android4.4.4 into the original Android Lolipop. Fuselage measurements than Moto X a full circle, and thick 1MM ...

Compared to the Nexus 4 and 5 of the 2000 yuan in the "industry conscience" price, the six Prince return to the previous generations of Nexus products high-end price, the price of up to 649 U.S. dollars, equivalent to nearly 4000 yuan, plus can not buy directly in China, through various channels after hand, should be the price and the IPhone 6.

So here's the question: Why didn't Google renew its wildly acclaimed, popular Low-cost, high-priced nexus pricing strategy to recreate a Nexus 6 with high prices?

I think that's probably because the Nexus series has become a drag on Google.

The Android operating system is open source for free, and any vendor can use and customize the platform as long as it complies with Google's rules. As a result, many manufacturers to customize a variety of grotesque androidrom to this brush design department's sense of existence. Surprisingly, many times this laborious custom ROM and UI is confusing, when it comes to Android, everyone's response is messy, when Google felt the need to do a raw, pure Android phone, so that G-powder and users See, Android smartphone should be like this, in fact, the Nexus series does not have the function and the UI of the superfluous, also did not have the continuous operation experience of cotton, did let the person regain the confidence to Android.

However, Google is also a company, the company needs to seek the benefits of survival and development, known as the industry's conscience of the fourth and fifth generation Nexus earned a variety of popular and praise, but did not give Google and cooperation manufacturers LG brought much real income, even if the deep pockets of Google can subsidize other revenue, but the partners are obviously not happy, in fact, LG executives even have a little open disagreement with Google over the pricing and capacity of Nexus 4.

This time with the former in-laws Motorola cooperation is so, the dying of the motorcycle obviously can not afford such a toss, moreover, the small number of Moto X price is 449 U.S. dollars, if the large size of Nexus 6 priced in the previous 349 U.S. dollars, is tantamount to the motor of the halved.

Finally, Google also needs a flagship product of its own to fill the play store façade, after all, even the iPhone is big screen, there is a plus version, perhaps Google felt the need to create a big screen flagship version of the Nexus to contend with, not to mention, with play Store products continue to expand, the industry has been rumored that Google wants to open its own physical stores, such a top Nexus 6 also emerged.

So top's Nexus 6, paired with the simultaneous release of Android L, is Google's strong response to Apple's big screen iphone 6 Plus. It also allows the Nexus series to return to Google's beginner--slowing down the bold and messy pace of development, settling the Android experience, and demonstrating with real intention that the Android experience is no worse than the iphone.

But perhaps most of the media and users are more concerned about the new IPad and the new IMac that Apple released 1 o'clock in the evening ...
