Nexus 6P

A warning for anyone thinking of using the OnePlus cables on the nexus 6p

Anybody purchase a tempered glass screen yet? If so how is it.

lots if mixed reviews on line about a slight curve to the edge of the screen causing bubbles, and the sensor been blocked.

Silly "Eh, what do you think guys" question:


I need a new handset, as my OnePlus One was robbed. Insurance paid out.
I am currently using a Note 2 (lagging and old) but is getting me by.

The Nexus 6P is a very expensive device, and it is hard to get from outside of Europe at the cheaper price.
The OnePlus 2 is a cheapish device, and is easy to get, but lacks fast charging, NFC and a decent fingerprint scanner.
The Moto X Style is a reasonably priced device, and is easy to get, but lacks the features of the Nexus 6P.


I have an invite for the OnePlus 2, and its sitting in my account with 18+ hours left. I need to make a decision.
I've been using Versus.com, many, many websites, and I've scouted the internet for information, but alas, I trust you all more.

Is the Nexus 6P really worth the guts of €800 excluding accessories (for something which I replace every two years). Do I need these features? Is it worth the pricey upgrade? Or, are the other devices just as good?

Not worth the price at all IMO. Save your money and buy something just as good for half the price.

If one could get a Nexus 5X (32GB) for €370 would that be worth the money?

Thanks,

Why not get the original Nexus 6? You can pick one up for around €300-€400 now. Just as good.

Maybe look at the moto x force. It's expensive enough as the nexus 6p, but it has better battery and it has the fastest charger out there. It has micro SD slot, screen is unbreakable (plastic) and its vanilla android .

Decided I will get the 6P. Going to order tomorrow. All things considered I want a larger phone and am tired of the memory management issues and touchwiz in general on the S6.

Anyway, those who have got theirs, how is the battery life. Will it make it through more than 1 day of moderate use. My main daily usage would be up to 4 hours of spotify (usually via mobile data), an hour on google newsstand, 15-20 minutes gaming, and about 150-200 texts or hangout messages. Very little wifi unless at home or in a cafe, and I never use location services or bluetooth. I like to keep background data restricted on most apps. This way my S6 is managing to have 30% battery left in the evening when I charge it up (say 11-12pm), starting with 100% at 6.30am.

Also - any annoying build quality issues (scratches out of box, loose buttons, camera misaligned etc..) or screen problems (tinting issues, stuck pixels). Not worried about the bending problem, more concerned about getting one scratched up out of the box which is why I will probably go for the carbon in the hope the paint protects the chamfered edges which are exposed on the aluminium version.

Ordered my 6P yesterday. Can't wait to get a hold of it as my Nexus 4 is really giving up the ghost.

I sue my phone a lot in the car for SatNav and I was wondering as anyone purchased a good cradle?

I was looking at this but the reviews are mixed:

I have the Samsung one and it works perfect with 6PP

So I got my tracking details with DHL for my order:


Shipment information received, LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, Sunday, November 22, 2015, 00:00

Any ideas on how long it takes to get from London to Dublin? I presume thats direct and then onto a truck for delivery?

Thanks.

Ordered my 6P. In the end I went for aluminium 128gb. Too many reports on xda-forums of carbon arriving with paint chips or other defects. And I know these damn chamfered edges will scratch on the aluminium if this thing goes into any sort of case (again if xda-forums are to be believed and this was my experience with the note 4) so instead of case I went with this pouch from kitbag I don't drop my phones ever so prefer to use it without a case anyway.

Hopefully I don't get a 6P with defects, tinted screen or worse.

By the way is the speaker imbalance thing (top speaker louder / quieter than bottom) a "feature" or an actual issue ?

And what is a good cheap tempered glass screen protector to go for ?

Feature. Was told by Google Support.

I know. She couldn't answer. She said if I'm not happy with the feature set of device I can send it back for refund.

That's been mentioned before but I've not seen first hand reports of it here.
