Last week, Google lent me a new, big Nexus smartphone for review — and it looked good enough to convince this iPhone user to switch.

Every year, Google premieres the new version of its Android software on a flagship device called Nexus. The phone is *special* because it gets the new Android operating system before anyone else. A few weeks ago, for the first time, Google announced two Nexii (the 5X and 6P) at once. I jumped at the chance to try the larger of the two, the 6P, which is 6 inches tall (standard phablet size).

I had just 72 hours to review the thing and did not take that deadline lightly. During dinner with a friend, I rudely whipped out the phone because our ramen hadn't come yet (photographic evidence above). My bad, Will.

What follows is my weekend in Android-landia.

I’ve been trapped in an iMessage-blue-bubble bubble for far too long. The last non-iPhone device I owned was a 2013 Moto X, and Android has changed a lot since then. The operating system has become more design centric. The devices themselves have faster processors, bigger screens, and much better cameras. In other words, it's a great time to switch to Android if you're thinking about jumping the iPhone ship.
