Thanks to everyone who pointed out that Flipkart has bumped up the exchange price for N5 to 15k. Last I checked it was 10k and I was pretty disappointed since mine was in pristine condition. I almost sold it earlier today for a lot less.

Went ahead, bit the bullet and bought myself a 32GB graphite N6P. Quite excited about the phone since I've owned/used every Nexus phone with the exception of the N1.

I am partially colourblind, so is there an easy way to identify the tint issue that everyone is talking about? Any help would be much appreciated!
[Nexus 6P General] nexustiger:
Thanks a lot bro. Do you know how many times can I return it to Flipkart?

I heard some people have returned 3-4 times till there were satisfied with their piece.

Also, I bought it in exchange offer for the N5. So if I ever opt for a refund, how will they pay the exchange difference...Anyone knows?
[Nexus 6P General] PratikP:
1. You can keep on replacing your product till the point you are satisfied with it and give a clear justification to why you are asking for a replacement. Though technically, you after the second replacement you are eligible to ask for a refund.

2. They'll refund you the entire amount to your bank (discounted price + exchange price). So don't worry on that front. Happened with me when i returned the Nexus 6 last year. They refunded me the entire amount.

Cheers

The charger is not available here in Google store yet, so don't think you can get one off the shelf too. Carry your charger and get an universal adapter or get your usb type c to a cable and get any charger from here, but good quality chargers can be expensive here. But since you are travelling and it will take a lot of time to fill up the battery without the bundled charger I suggest you go that way. Check with Huawei India first at 1800-209-6555 if you are looking to get the Huawei one. You can check with Huawei service centers here as well . But knowing Indian service centers I am pretty sure they are a waste of time.

Requested a new replacement from flipkart.

I will receive a call by afternoon from flipkart executive. I received an email to install some application.

Could someone explain what this application is all about?
[Nexus 6P General] jaidev.s:
It's their app for checking ur phone. It'll check display, sound, etc.. I've read that the app can detect root, so unroot it before installing the app.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Got my 3rd replacement, very very slight pinkish tint towards the top half, very minimal so will give it 3 days or so to see if it slightly dissipates or remains constant.

Otherwise phone is perfect, nice cool whites rather that my previous pee yellow
[Nexus 6P General] ananbanka:
Could you please confirm the variant and build date?
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Flipkart and amazon were the one shown on slide during the launch event .... I didn't see reliance....

P.S. I remember when I ordered xperia Z from Flipkart... They didn't deliver it to me first and came to stores first.... Had a 1500rs additional discount from them....
[Nexus 6P General] lathiwala_99:
On the other hand, I have had a wonderful experience with these guys that is the reason why I went with pre-booking with them as they are official retailers for Nexus 6P. Lets cross our fingers and wait & watch who gets the delivery first....!!!

My exact thoughts that is the reason why I went to them for pre-booking instead of Flipkart.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

The Mobile Store, Chroma, Sangeetha Mobiles and I guess Reliance digital are official BnM partners for Nexus 6P as per official announcement from Google and Huawei.
[Nexus 6P General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
Correct but delivery is after 2nd and depends on location. I have read somewhere people from Bangalore have delivery date as 5th where are people from Orissa have 10-12th.

Nothing before 2nd that's for sure. But lets see, by monday it will be all clear.

Cheers :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P General] hunt:
Websites says something else and store says something else. I'll be happy if I get Logitech Bluetooth Speakers and Nexus 6P case, no need of any other things. Earphones I doubt, but my mind says will get, as this will be packed with Huawei box (as per Flipkart). Yatra coupon sucks seriously. Read T&C, you'll loose interest.

This is my first experience with Mobile Store, as Flipkart has no stock for pre-order and as per MS, I will get device on 30th on hand, and most importantly they were offering me "Aluminium 64 GB" which I love most- I don't need anything else. :) I don't wanna compromise by selecting 32GB Graphite on Flipkart, just because It was the only option available right now!

Officials of Mobile Store says - 30th Oct, while store representative says expect on 25th. :cowboy: At least, I believe when Flipkart will get stock, till then offline stores will deliver the product to customers. Google clearly said that this time Online/Offline market will get the equal priority,

Croma, Vijay Sales, The Mobile Store, Reliance Digital, Sangeetha Mobile etc...All are listed bro!

Yeah mate, I hope I also get the same kind of experience with 6P. They'll make my day then. :cool:

ppl in USA have had there devices being shipped now.. most of 'em would have it by mid-week next week.... Flipkart though doesnt seem to be interested....

1 more week of pure anticipation and F5's... ;p
[Nexus 6P General] bsbharath1987:
I hope Flipkart were being cautious with their release dates. If the b&m stores can get them in stock before that, I don't see why Flipkart can't. They surely have a better infrastructure like supplier contracts, warehouses, etc. Also, somebody in this thread spotted 6ps being imported through zauba.com, did they not?
[Nexus 6P General] ayush84:
yup, it was removed because the post contained IMEI numbers; could have been the demo pieces. Don't remember the import dates.
[Nexus 6P General] aakashji:
import dates were around the launch date 13th. I believe the devices were demo and review units. no devices imported for customers so far.
[Nexus 6P General] PratikP:
Accessories

Has anyone oderdered the accessories viz., tempered glass and a case?

I would love to keep the N6P naked to get the feel of the amazing metal unibody but don't want to take any chances either. The screen replacement of the N6 I owned costs upwards of 24k. Wish FK would have offered a one time free screen replacement like Amazon did (though valid only for the first 6 months).
[Nexus 6P General] ayush84:
The free screen replacement on the 5X is not an Amazon Exclusive, it's being offered by B&M stores as well. So, I think it's a company offer.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Isn't huawei manufacturing in India now.... I don't think we will see any imports!!!!

But yes... We should have a good idea by mid week of Flipkart is a ***** and wants Nov 2nd as official launch day....

Offers are from Huawei and not flipkart.

Whatever offers that Flipkart has given us, are actually offers being provided by Huawei and not flipkart. After going through the entire thread, there seems to be lots of confusion on who gets what when ordered from flipkart or other store.

Just go through huaweidevice.co.in/?q=offer it gives clarity about everything.

The good point here is,

5. Huawei freebies- back cover & earphone* -- So there are chances of the back cover being an original accessory ;)

1. Chromecast is only for first 2000 orders of Nexus™ 6P on flipkart.

2. Logitech BT speakers (Model X50) is available only for first 7000 buyers. Pre-book Nexus™ 6P now at

selected

Croma, Reliance, The Mobile Stores, Ezone, Sangeetha, Poorvika stores.

I do recommend that you people just keep print out copy of that offer page to have it handy :)

NB : I can't post URL's. So Google "huawei india offers" and pick the second URL.
[Nexus 6P General] mittals888:
I read somewhere, most probably on E-zone's site that the back cover is worth Rs. 500. I have my doubts whether the back cover will be original accessory.
[Nexus 6P General] h3llboy911:
So it's official that first batch of 6p to ship in 1st week of November. They are going to ship in batches. There's a major supply crisis, so not everyone is going to get the phone in first week of november also.

Guys.. got my new Nexus 6p today by exchanging nexus 5.... for now looks great and big.. Did not see any yellow/pink tint issue till now.. anything else I got to know ? :)
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Aluminum 64Gb, Build 11/11/2015

MM/DD/YY

1st Phone = A64 - 11/11/15 - large pink tint, bottom green / blue tint

2nd Phone - A64 - 11/10/15 - overall yellow, top darker yellow - dissipated after a few days but overall screen was yellow

3rd Phone - A64 - 11/11/15 - Very faint pink on top, but seems to go away with viewing angles but sometimes is prominent.

What to do?
[Nexus 6P General] karan2012:
Hello guys well m confused whether to buy Note 5 or nexus 6p actually both are marvellous devices but my major concern is battery life since u guys are using it please can u post battery stats it would be really helpful and appreciated
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
Using 6p since yesterday and I have to say except the screen tint, It's amazing. It definitely puts iPhone to shame.

Battery life is great 1 hr sot for 20% drop. 3g is on whole the time.

Replacement will reach me on Dec 15th.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

One issue I am facing is when I lift the phone. The phone screen doesn't light up instantaneously, it takes 2 secs. Is this a bug?
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Called in FK for my 4th replacement, they did it so promptly. Getting it by 15th Dec.

Not a bug, 6p has the sensor hub which sees IF you need it to show ambient display. The Nexus 6 was prompt in that aspect.
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
4th replacement?

For me, they said they wont offer replacement 2nd time for the same issue, They refunded and then I ordered new one.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Been in Sales for over 16 years, so I know a few tricks with the added emotion guilt trip to get them to hit that replacement button rather than refund.

In either case, its a similar story; 2 replacements tops then refund. I am not planning on calling them (pray I get a good device) but I know next time they WILL hit that REFUND button.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
I got the 6.0.1 update today much earlier than expected.. Thought it would take at least a couple of weeks of waiting,
[Nexus 6P General] nickporwal:
Lucky you. I bought from offline store. Phone itself is very good. No prob at all other than the very slight pink tint on top. Its very very minimal and doesn't affect me. Screen was yellow but i used a very good color profile and my screen is super white like opo screen. My only concern is that it doesn't bend. I am reading on xda about bending and now im scared. Its very difficult to return if there is physical damage.
[Nexus 6P General] nexustiger:
Just received mine (G32,11/11 build). So glad I went for the N5 exchange, heard the offer is over.

How do you tell if there's a pink tint or not? In a white background, when I tilt in very slight angles, screen tone gets slightly warmer. Should I RMA ?

Also, what do you guys recommend for a tempered glass and slim case? Any better case than Spigen Rugged Armor?

P.S: The free case is bad. Almost no protection and the fit is loose.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Got the delivery. Thankfully I don't have any issues mentioned. Display is perfect and far better than the ****ty uneven display of my previous Nexus 6. No distortion from both speakers. Call quality is fine. Mighty impressed with Huawei.
[Nexus 6P General] nitish3072:
Anyone else got the OTA for 6.0.1 ??
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
I got the 6.0.1 ota.

I'm also going to go for my 4th replacement. Each time that nasty pink comes up.....on each of my 3 devices. All 3 are 11/11 build.

I have a faint pink tint on the top half of my screen. And there is a clear difference between the colors on top and the colors at the bottom.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Flash it manually, not hard at all.

It doesnt bend unless you force it to or be negligent. Treat it well and it will not bend.

Send pics and we can tell ya. But if you are OK with it and dont notice it much, not look for trouble.

TGSP-

I have used these and have been fantastic.

Foso was good, BUT can scratch.

http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01...ue&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_2&smid=A1MKYXLA9FMSPJ

Good and can withstand more that the Foso

http://www.amazon.in/Google-Nexus-S...50619&sr=8-3&keywords=Nexus+6p+Tempered+Glass

But if you can, then go for this. Far better Oleophobic coating on it and better edge to edge coverage.

http://www.amazon.in/Screen-Protect...50619&sr=8-7&keywords=Nexus+6p+Tempered+Glass

Exact same thing here, this one is so minute that I dont know how to proceed further.

Got a replacement coming but still.
[Nexus 6P General] ananbanka:
Got my replacement. 22-10-2015 again. I wonder if these guys know the FIFO concept.

Have a tint on the top half of the screen. I have absolutely no issues with the kind of white the phone displays, as long as it's even across the screen.

Think I'll just ask for a refund and wait to order from Google once the dust settles.

UPDATE: Processed the refund. I'm now sitting on Flipkart vouchers for 31.5k. I don't intend on using them. If someone is planning on ordering via FK, please let me know if you can use the vouchers and transfer the money to my account. :)
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
What was your sales pitch for the 4th replacement? How did you manage them not to hit the refund?

Cause I also have a pink tint all over the top half of the screen...faint, but visible and I can't live with it knowing I spent 42 grand on it.

So, wanted to know your sales pitch for this.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Firstly I called and asked whether I was talking to the Indore or Delhi office, he said Delhi (spoke to wonderful ladies at Indore who processed the first 3 replacements).

I said great, I had issues with them and would prefer to speak to a fellow Delhiite (though I am not), then in Hindi I asked him kya ho raha yaar, am I panoti who is plagued with issues?

He asked kya hua sir? I said same issue, top screen is pink and bottom is ok.

He said please call after 7 PM because I cannot find your order being delivered this morning.

I said let me speak to your supervisor "yaar" cause im tired of "replacements" and I am only willing to take one more before going for refund.

He said hold on sir, came back after 2 minutes and said system shows your order was delivered and the it was just updated.

He asked what would you like sir, I said I dont know, 43k for a phone is to much to live with issues with. But I am truly "confused", I cant keep a device with such issues but I love the phone. (this line was crucial as it gave him the confidence that I want it and I am not fooling him to get money back)

I said what would you do yaar, you advise me as you are conducting such cases day in and day out, should I take the refund? He said no sir, I would suggest you go for a replacement. I said yea, maybe you are right. But only because you convinced me.

He said good to have helped sir; then I said good sir, I couldnt have done it without you.

10 seconds later I got an SMS for replacement and he said Sir, I have processed it and I assure you it will be a good unit. I said thank you sir, please transfer me to your supervisor because you have done a wonderful job.

He did and I gave a very positive feedback, took the supervisors name in Delhi call center (in case I have issues, I will speak to him like I did with the Indore guys).

Thats my trick, understanding what are the guidelines, allowing them to give me the option in my favor by putting words in their mouth and having them feel as if they have suggested the valid course of action. Thirdly, always make them feel in charge and be super courteous, but not needy OR desperate.

Remember, you need something from them, they dont need anything from you, so empower them with kindness and they shall respond to your wishes.

Sounds simple and not really a trick, but this method works.

On my N6 last time, I pulled off 5 replacements. Luckily my 5th was Perfect......
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Very very interesting piece of advice. Very helpful though. I can already see a few places where I could use this in life.

Coming to flipkart, I'm going to try my luck in a similar way. Difference between you and me is: I am your opposite. I'm an IN-YOUR-FACE guy. I put things bluntly, frankly and honestly the way I feel it. LOL. Probably the reason why I could never do sales.

But let me try my luck and will let you know.

I was also thinking perhaps this replacement (with sales pitch) I should try after we know that a Dec build has come thru....beyond the 11/11/2015 build.
[Nexus 6P General] sriraviprasad:
To the people who are finding screen pink at top/bottom hold the phone at different angles away from you.

Using since yesterday, sometimes I get the feeling the upper part has screen tint and sometimes lower part

Actually the whole screen has pink tint.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
I thank you for your kind words, but I am no different in regards to my approach with others. I am also equally in your face, blunt and rude. Just my tactics are modified for my own intentions.

Sales is a another word for manipulation, it can be used for good or bad. In this case, I know its just for getting a device I paid for to be equally as good as the company selling it intended it to be, or at least advertised it to be.

So I will use methods to convince the other that its deserved as I paid for it. You cannot pass along a sub-par device for the same price as another who receives something better.

Ill keep swapping till I get what I am content with.
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
Yes. Absolutely.

And yes - we need to our money's worth.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
One Plus said Never Settle, problem is their devices are littered with more issues than the Nexus 6p.

So I am stuck with this Google Flagship until the next Nexus is out.

My Nexus 6 was perfect, but it was my curiosity to go for the 6p knowing screens were an issue.
[Nexus 6P General] nexustiger:
Mine definitely has a slight pink hue when seen head on. And if I tilt even slightly, in any direction, the screen looks pure white.

The pink hue is uniform, no patches. Should I RMA? What are your opinions? (Scared to get a worse device)

Did anyone with this issue successfully get a decent, pure white screen on replacing?

I suspect that ALL the devices have this same issue (uniform pink but pure white when tilted), but many users don't seem to notice it yet. Even I didn't, until I read some posts about it and from that point, I cannot un-see it.

40k is a pretty huge amount, but is this tiny flaw worth jumping in the RMA loop...like 4-5 times; replacing till I get the perfect piece(if that ever happens lol..or else going for a refund).

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Hey, seems like you bought it in an exchange offer. How did they pay you the exchange difference when you went for a refund? Like, would they give full 40k in Flipkart wallet if I paid 30k by card and 10k was from exchange of old phone.
[Nexus 6P General] krunal1981:
The aluminium near the volume button has sunk in . bought it from ezone .
[Nexus 6P General] jomy117:
I am seeing a lot of people talking about the pink tint. I have found a pattern for this in my phone.

The entire screen seems to have some tint all the time, only that it shifts its colour when you tilt. Mine shifts from light green to pink alternately. The way I hold my phone makes it look like bottom has the pink tint and the top part slightly green.

Not sure if the you guys are seeing are the same.

You can check this easily using an app like Display Tester in defective pixel test mode and tilt it around a horizontal axis.

It was a known bug in 6.0
[Nexus 6P General] ananbanka:
You just have to be nice to them, and you need to understand that the defective pieces aren't their fault. It isn't even Flipkart's fault unless they've sent you a used piece or something.

If anyone has to be yelled at, it's the quality control team at the manufacturer's locations.

There are enough number of unempathetic irritated customers who yell at them all day long. Little kindness and humane way of talking goes a long way, not just for getting your work done, but also for making them feel they might've helped someone out. So yeah.

The same things goes for wireless carrier operators, waiters at restaurants and every other person who's the face of the company for consumer interaction, but has no say in the management. So just be nice regardless. :)

They offered to change my phone a third time, but I decided to wait it out until fresh batches get imported.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

I'd paid via vouchers and a debit card. They will will be refunding it the same way. I will be getting an equivalent amount in my Flipkart wallet for the Nexus 4 I exchanged. I'd requested them to give the phone back if possible, but the only options was to get the amount in my wallet.
[Nexus 6P General] Sultan of Speed:
I don't think the issue is about being rude to the person. The issue is more about getting your replacement device without having to go through the refund process and all the while getting the FK guy to agree with what you have said.

I don't think anybody ever said or talked about being rude or yelling at people.

I said I am an in your face guy, blunt, honest and truthful. That didn't mean Ibam rude all the time. It just meant I don't beat around the bush much. It does not definitely mean that I yell.

There is more to our statements (dhruv's and mine) than how I believe you are understanding it.
