Google just announced the Nexus 6

Being the owner of a four years old low quality Android smartphone, I've been considering replacing it for quite some time now, but I'm both lazy and very picky.

You most likely have already heard of it, but the Google Nexus line is well known for its significant price-performance ratio, and releases a new device about every year (more if you count the tablets), so I've been thinking of waiting for the upcoming new model.

And it was announced a few days ago, as you can see in this article.

Now it turns out that this new Nexus phone is actually massive (6-inch display), and I'm not really sure it would be comfortable to use with just one hand, let alone fit in my pocket. The price tag is quite high too, far more expensive than any previous model of the line.

So I guess I won't be buying this phone either.
Still it's quite amusing that supposedly “mobile” phones are now starting to turn into giant devices... I wonder if the average display size for a smartphone will be 10 inches or more in a few years.
