I played with a Nexus 6 yesterday and my upgrade is ready in may. My nexus 4 is on its last legs with poor battery life and the charging port is starting to go out so i've been using a wirless charging pad at home.

Now I wonder should I go with the Nexus 6 or instead get one of the mid range moto phones off contract and stick in out another 5-6 months until the nexus line is refreshed.

BranDonk Kong:
Up until the next couple of weeks the Nexus 6 is basically the cream of the crop. But, only for the next couple of weeks.

I ordered a Nexus 6 but i'm going tot he newly-opened Google Store (inside a PC World) in central london later to have a play with it.

I'm kind of concerned that its just too big for me, and the Nexus 5 feels "just right" to use.

I've been looking for an indestructible phone lately. I'm the type of person who will have a phone for as long as I can get away with it. Phones to me use to be about calls, messaging and email. But now i need uber as well. If i can find a phone that can withstand my ****, I'd use it for the next 5 years at least.

I almost caved in and bought an S5 Active last year, but i heard it was **** and still likely to break if dropped, so I'd still need a case and if you've seen the phone, it already looks like it has one. Speaking of cases, I'm surprised by Sony. They have probably the best phone for me. I'd still have to get a case, but the Z series (especially the compact) and M aqua series phones are IP58 rated, meaning I can submerge the phone at depths over a meter and beyond for as long as I'd like and still take photos with its 20 mp camera. This is perfect for me since most of my phones have died due to deeper than a meter water.

Still, I am accident prone and I'd hate to break the damn thing, so I looked into other phones and Kyocera brigadier came out on top. It has a sapphire screen. It can withstand being thrown across a room on to a hard floor. It is IP67 rated (dust proof, water resistant). And is military rated to withstand the worst temperatures and vibrations. Pretty much, this thing is a brick. The only problem is it has **** for specs. A terrible camera, processor, and storage capacity. But then again, if it can take decent photos and run uber and the like, I'll be fine.

Does anyone have an opinion of these phones? Have you tried them out? Do you have any other phones to recommend?

P.S. Why uber? I find it a good benchmark. First of all, its an insanely useful app to have when you're drunk and in a strange city. Two, it uses all the features of a phone at once.

So i accidentally cracked the screen on my GS3 and I'm 3 years overdue on my discounted upgrade.

Was just looking at the GS6 or maybe the One M9.
is there something else I should be looking at?

easily rooted/modded is a plus, because I would really like to get my tether back.
