SMARTPHONES FOR SERIOUS SUITS
Nexus 6 The Nexus 6 is a great phone , there ’ s no doubt about that , but what makes this a seriously good business mobile choice is all that Google going on . As a Nexus this is a Google phone , and that means it ’ s already fully equipped with all those Google productivity apps that you ’ re so used to using . From Google Now to Google Drive and Gmail , and the excellent Google Calendar , the Nexus 6 is a productivity machine .
Specs are very impressive too . The Nexus 6 has a quad core 2.7 GHz processor and 3 GB of RAM , so it ’ s speedy and responsive . The screen is a massive 5.96 inches , making this a phablet device , so slightly less portable than you might like . Our only real reservation is the lack of SD card slot ( the Nexus 6 comes in 32 GB or 64 GB versions ), but if you ’ re storing all your documents on Google ’ s Cloud then that shouldn ’ t be an issue .
A good business phone needs reliability , speed , compatibility , and good productivity options , which is going to mean making a fairly large investment . There are hundreds of mobiles on the market right now , but if you ’ re looking for a dedicated business device , then these seven models are our top choices .
