Q1: It's hard to say what im trying to say but , right now i have a Nexus 5 which gets anywhere from 80- mostly 110-130ms ping. also i think 6mbps up and 1.5 down. this is the speeds from my house if im in a big city they change big time the ping not so much . But is it possible For the Nexus 6 to have a lower ping then the Nexus 5.

Q: whats your thoughts on Nexus X do you think its worth a upgrade and do you think google will launch 2 different models. I think i would be cool having a 5.2 and a 5.9 inch screen models to choose from.:rolleyes:
 
On the network speeds side of things - thats largely going to be dependant on your carrier and the network in your local area. One phone to the next shouldnt have any noticeable change on the networks time to respond.



As far as the rumor mill, I'd like to see more than 1 option if they do go with the very large screen thats been talked about. I'm not interested in a phablet. I'll use my upgrade on the new moto X if thats the only one they have.
 
Personally I hope they don't just release a phablet. Actually I'd prefer an N5 with upgraded internals to a 5.2" model, or even something slightly smaller. 5.2" is already phablet territory really (the original Note was 5.3" ) and beyond comfortable one-handed use for many people, so if there is a choice I'd rather it be a more significant one than "really big or huge".

(There was a rumour of a storage bumped N5 the other day, so that idea may not be crazy).
 
The only thing I could possibly ask for would be a larger battery or better battery life (crossing my fingers for L)

A bigger battery, that's all. I'd be happy if it were 1mm thicker!

You've brought up a topic that's a hot button issue with me. Here's my take on it.

1) I'd like nothing more than to have a 1, 2, or perhaps even 3mm thicker phone (depending on starting thickness) in order to use that space for a large battery.

2) Here's where I _Blame Apple_ !

The undisputed master of marketing in the tech sector, combined with a somewhat Cult like following as built, nurtured and sustained by the past CEO, Apple has massive influence over customers and competition alike.

Therefore their Absolute Obsession with THIN Products prevails. If not for this obsession we'd see common sense dictate slightly thicker phones with much better battery life.

I completely agree with you. I really don't know what the preoccupation of customers with thinner and thinner phones is all about. What's the big advantage?

If the existing Nexus 5 battery is 2 or 2 1/2 mm thick (I don't know; I'm just guessing), adding a couple of mm to the thickness of the phone could, logically, double the battery life, making it almost certainly the best on the market in this respect.

As a long time Apple computer user, I'm not bashing Apple, yet I will share my thoughts based on first hand experience.

Apple values vanity, style and bragging rights over functionality. That's why thin is such a severe obsession with them. In addition when alive Jobs the tyrant, and their God, forbid users to push back if they didn't like something. That set the precedence.

To the Nexus 5, you've said it well. If only it was approx 2 or 3 mm thicker with a larger battery, they'd have a huge advantage in usability for those of us heavy users.

Yet competition forces them to build along the same form factor as others, cheating us out of substantial battery life.

Those are very slow network speeds for your nexus 5. My nexus 5 gets great speeds on
