Is the Nexus 6 worth its premium price, or are there better options to get your Lollipop fix?

Primarily because of the difference in screen size. If someone is considering a 6-inch phone, they probably are not interested in 5-inch phones. Thus, we compared it to other devices with a 5.5-inch or larger screen (and the Nexus 5 just because it was the previous generation).Why wasn't the S6 used in this comparison?
Thanks for pointing this out. The article has been updated to reflect the current pricing.I think there is a typo about price, the nexus 6 is listed as 649 and 699 on the play store, not "starting at $750".
The Nexus 6 camera does have OIS. At least it is listed as a feature by Google and many other reviews.

paying Apple 100 dollars every time your battery dies is "high tech", I guess.Removable SD cards and replaceable batteries are dated dinosaurs technology. 64gb of storage and the cloud is enough storage.
Incidently, your phone can be rooted, so I have no idea what you're talking about in terms of that being any sort of difference maker.
The N6 of course has an unlocked sim card and can be used on any carrier off contract.

We had already completed the review by the time the 5.1 update was available (there was a gap between completion and posting). Since the 5.1 update is supposed to specifically address FDE performance, I did rerun AndEBench and updated the review to include the performance delta relative to 5.0. I also reran Geekbench and did not see any significant change in performance. The 5.1 update also had no effect on photo quality or display performance.why didn't you test the device with 5.1? 5.1 resolved lots of battery and memory issues
It is not about it being dinosaur technology, it is about business model of charging an arm and a leg for any upgrade. "Modern users" consider changing wallpaper on their phone ultimate customization decent user should do. Anything else is too complicated..Removable SD cards and replaceable batteries are dated dinosaurs technology. 64gb of storage and the cloud is enough storage.
I understand what you say, but I think that the main reason of not proposing MicroSD slot on the devices has much more to do with device manufacturers trying to reduce the return rates than vendors trying to sell you cloud storage.It is not about it being dinosaur technology, it is about business model of charging an arm and a leg for any upgrade.

So why don't you leave it as an option for us dinosaurs. You modern users can have your iPhones, S6s and M9s.
BTW fastest 32GB MicroSDs is around 20$ online.
