You can simply look at a Nexus 6 and this year's Moto X to see the strong similarity between the two devices. While it may be somewhat of a disappointment to see the Nexus venture away from the design found in last year's phone and Google's two most recent tablets, there are some good things to come from this turn of events.

[New App] Motorola Modality Services Now Updateable Via Play Store, New Update Helps Assist And Active Display Apps
