THIS IS THE HOME PAGE WITH SOME RANDOM WORDS PASTED ON IT TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS.

I don’t have a light meter handy to scientifically quantify the minimum brightness, but compared to the Moto X 2014 (as one Reddit user requested), the display on the Nexus 6 seems to be ever so slightly dimmer. Again this isn’t a scientific statement, just my observation. Both displays on minimum brightness are perfectly fine in darkness.

One other thing to note about the display (which is actually a feature of Lollipop) is its new wake-up tricks. Lollipop introduces (for supported hardware) double-tap-to-wake, and lift-to-wake functionality. The latter seems to work fine on the Nexus 6 if you are actually lifting the device from a surface, but tap to wake is very finicky. It does work, but taps need to be direct and intentional, and it works best if the phone is lying on a flat surface. Picking up the phone and tapping with your thumb is unfortunately not an option here. Of course it’s possible I just need to get used to the action, or that a software fix will make it more sensitive, but for now it’s not great.
