Slow storage hurts load times, multitasking on Google's new flagship. Plus, why 6 inches?

Another year, another Nexus phone. Google's flagship devices are the fast track for the newest software, but they've typically been devices of compromise. A bad camera, no LTE, or a poor battery?there's always something. The compromises were usually easy to forgive thanks to the incredible?probably subsidized?pricing scheme that Google has used in the past.

This year, Google has tapped the newly Lenovo owned Motorola to build a massive, 6-inch monster of a phone with a 1440p screen. It has nearly doubled the price up from $350 for the Nexus 5 to a whopping $650 for an unlocked Nexus 6. Google says they're aiming for more "premium" devices this year, and the company is working with all four big US carriers to offer the phone with a two-year contract.
