The Nexus 6 has smaller bezel on the top and bottom than the iPhone 6+ which has to make space for the TouchID/Home button. Android uses on-screen soft buttons.

My biggest peeve with the onscreen buttons (using flagship Galaxy Nexus) is accidentally pressing them, primarily when I'm trying to take a selfie with the rear camera. It's insanely frustrating the way the orientation moves them around and trying to find the on-screen shutter button rather than clicking the home button.

Something that should be easily fixed by allowing power or volume buttons to take pictures. I'm not sure why that isn't the case.

It's a Qualcomm 805, so competitive with the iPhone 6's chip, but certainly not massively faster than it (and in practice somewhat slower in many scenarios). As we should remember from the Pentium 4 age, megahertz are not everything.

Anandtech&Wikipedia suggest the Nexus's Krait CPU is 4-instructions wide vs iPhone's 6-instructions wide?
