anand says it's a huge (lol) piece of poo pooquote:In terms of build quality, Motorola has built a fine device that meets Google's "premium" claim and doesn't make the $650 price feel like a ripoff. The Nexus 6 is very big, and while the size of a device is a pretty personal thing, we think we could deal with it. Today, a lot of people will be put off by the huge size, but don't be surprised if, in a year or two, every flagship Android phone is six inches.

quote:It's a sudden, jarring change quote:It's also, at times, garish. quote:App menu headers are bold reds and blues greens, but there's no logic to the system of colors to match the logic of animation quote:Even those animations can get a little overbearing. It's great when you first start using Lollipop, but once you get your bearings, you kind of wish they'd go a little faster. quote:there are lots of places where it's hard to tell what's happening. For example, in settings, text can be a number of things: a button to take you deeper into a menu, a heading that does nothing, a button that toggles a switch off to the right, or a button that activates a pop-up menu. quote:I am mortified to find that Android still seems to offer different interfaces for text selection and cut/copy/paste in different corners of the OS — to say nothing of the fact that the icons are still vague and the widgets for selecting text are frustratingly small (oh, and vary in color depending on the app). quote:a new attempt to make a coherent Quick Settings panel. Google messes with these toggles in every iteration of Android, usually to middling effect. It's the same story here. quote:Google says that it automatically tries to guess which settings you want to flip and shows you those. What I want is "Mobile Hotspot." What I get instead is "Invert Colors," with no way to manually change it. Maddening. quote:It's an idea that is great in theory but can be hard to think through in execution, especially when it comes to keeping track of your Chrome tabs. At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, I'll say that Duarte did a better job at Palm with this idea way back in 2009 with webOS quote:if you use Face Unlock, it now just works in the background while you're messing about with notifications on your lock screen. Unfortunately, in my testing, it's not any more reliable than it used to be — which is to say, not much. quote:Google is also touting "Tap and Go," which uses NFC to transfer account information from one phone to another. [...] it's still nowhere near the phone-replacement experience on iOS. quote:I had been hoping that default full-device encryption (another Lollipop feature) would mean we'd get full phone backups and restores: accounts, logins, and all. Nope. quote:I will say that on both the Nexus 6 and the Nexus 9, the performance story is mixed. Moments of pure speed and smoothness are interrupted by inexplicable pauses. Battery life is very difficult to pin down, too. quote:Android 5.0 is very much a "Dot Oh" update — and that means bugs. quote:a new version of Android is always accompanied with questions: will existing devices get an update? When will new devices begin shipping with the new OS? As ever, there aren't clear answers quote:the changes are huge, but there are still some bugs that need to get ironed out

does lollipop still have the weird 'card comes up from bottom of screen' animation when opening an app? when I had the dev preview on my n4 before i got rid of it (well, i got mugged. same difference) that always felt really weird and jarring. like ios seamlessly, instantly zooms into the icon and the app opens while with android you get the old stalwart half a second of unresponsiveness then the app opens in a manner utterly disconnected from where you tapped. it felt really odd, like what connection oes a card sliding up have with you poking a static object?

not that i would defend the verge but most of that is just idiot garbage from someone who knows nothing about ux lollipop is fine and everything works well and looks nice with a couple lol anroid moments in there ofc the "inexplicable pauses" are v. explicable: the nexus 6 and the nexus 9 are both poo poo
