COZisBack Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Do the released FCC docs show the lab RF performance? I'm getting the implication that the lab performance is poor? They don't show poor. They show promising but everything comes down to real world testing. Not lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, there are modest RF output discrepancies between band 2 and band 25, band 12 and band 17, and band 5 and band 26. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that bad of a test report then the real world tests will be interesting. Edit.. As in the fcc should have done a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascertion Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Does Motorola or Qualcomm have their own Antenna Optimizations on this? I recall the Moto X getting something that made it transmit more power to the antenna in weak signal areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossedSignals Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 https://www.qualcomm.com/videos/qualcomm-dynamic-antenna-matching-tuner-qfe15xx The Moto X does have a Motorola-designed antenna tuning system that measures capacitance across the antenna/antennae. My understanding is that their implementation has twin benefits: first to optimize the antenna's Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) over a wide range of bands and secondly to counteract "death grip". See: http://anandtech.com/show/8491/the-new-moto-x-intial-impressions-and-hands-on/2 http://anandtech.com/show/8523/the-new-motorola-moto-x-2014-review Whether or not the same is implemented on the nexus 6 will likely have to wait for a tear down. Because the N6 and X(2014) share antenna designs, my bet is that it too will have a similar tuning system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW1973 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Does any of you know if Sprint will be carrying the 32 and 64 GB version? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Anyone correct me if I am wrong, you can activate either the 16 or 32 Nexus 5 on Sprint. So my thought is that both sizes of the Nexus 6 will also work on Sprint. The way I understand it is that each Nexus 5 and 6 is not locked to a particular carrier, but can be used on anyone of them. Note, i believe Verizon passed on the Nexus 5.

I doubt that Sprint will carry the 64 u less they saw a large number of the 32 brought in to be activated. I believe that they attempt to err on the side of caution. Better to have minimal stock instead of a surplus of phones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping sprint will carry the 64gb so I can purchase it on easy pay. Sent from my Nexus 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybo31316 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 After, playing around with the Moto X 2014 at the AT$T store. I'm definitely sold on the Nexus 6. I love the screen, the design, and the soft touch material on the back. So I know that the Nexus 6 will be a great device. Maybe I can ditch my tablets once I pick up the Nexus 6.

Sent from my Nexus 5 I'm pretty sure I want the 64 GB version. I'm glad to hear your impressions of the 2014 Moto X were so favorable. I'm just a little hesitant to order on the 29th as I would like to see how it goes for the early adopters. Is anyone going to place their order on the 29th?
