That of the Nexus 6 is the story of a smartphone to say the least peculiar. After the delay that occurred during its launch in Spain, this time it was a discovery by anonymous developers that has put us on the trail of a curious detail of this smartphone. It turns out that, as noted from the popular US developer forum XDA-Developers , the Nexus 6 incorporates a fully functional notification LED in the center of the front speaker.
And far from being an official technical specification, the Nexus 6's notification LED is disabled at the factory, so that users cannot use it to keep track of the notifications they receive on their smartphone. Taking into account that it is an LED prepared to show different colors (red, blue, green, etc.), all kinds of speculations have already begun to appear on the network regarding the reason why the American company Google has been able to decide not to. activate this feature on Nexus 6s around the world.
Whatever the reason why Google decided at the time to deactivate this notification LED on the Nexus 6, from the XDA-Developers forum they have already begun to work on an extra-official version of the operating system of this terminal that allows activating and use the notification LED normally. Of course, to install this extra-official version it is an essential requirement to have root access on the mobile, which probably escapes the computer knowledge of many of the users who have acquired this mobile both in Spain and in the rest of the world.
But the Nexus 6 controversy does not end there. A few days ago it was discovered that the data encryption of Android 5.0 Lollipop, one of the most important security innovations of the most recent version of the Android operating system, causes performance problems that translate into less fluidity of the phone to the time to move the interface and when running applications. The problem seems to be fairly well recognized and, as the experts say, there is no doubt that data encryption is responsible for a reduction of even up to 50% in performance on the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.
Recall that the Nexus 6 has been presented as a completely different smartphone from its predecessor, the Nexus 5, which was characterized by incorporating mid-range features at a relatively affordable price (between 350 and 400 euros). The N6 costs between 650 and 700 euros, and technical specifications are formed by a screen of 5.96 inches with 2,560 x 1,440 pixel resolution, a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 of four cores running at 2.7 GHz, three GigabytesMemory RAM, 32 / to 64 gigabytes of internal storage, a main chamber 13 megapixels and a battery with 3220 mAh capacity.
