Does anyone know if N6P December batches are available in India yet (if there are any), and any ETA on Google Store sales? I just returned my 6P this morning.
[Nexus 6P General] sameerm02:
Got my replacement, yesterday, this device has, less warmer screen than previous one, keeping this one.

both have same build date, 11-11-15
[Nexus 6P General] PxDx01:
Good news.. I also own build date 11-11-15 and very happy about it. Colours have to be even, warm is how it is supposed to be.

By the time they are available on Play Store, there already will be a price cut in other places.

Nexus 5X is selling on MRP in Play Store India but much cheaper in Flipkart and Amazon. Today, for a moment 5X 32gb was 25K on Flipkart while 16gb was 21K.

So if I were in your place, I wouldn't wait for it to launch in Play Store because there are disadvantages more than its advantages.
[Nexus 6P General] vikram66778:
Happy

Finally got my G32 today after much internal debate, whether to buy now or to wait untill all issues got resolved but the temptation to get hands on the device finally won n made me to place an order for 6p yesterday..

I am very satisfied with the device n most importantly i think mine is a keeper after knowing all those tint issues. Yes, there is a pinkish tint travelling all over the screen when viewing angles are changed but i think it is normal with amoled screens.. Plz correct me if am wrong.. So just to confirm, i checked my S6 for this tint and surprisingly there is some pinkish tint at some viewing angles on a white background. Till now i didn't even realized that there is some pinkish tint on my S6 (only visible if you look for it)...

So what i want to say is don't look at this issue through a magnifying glass, don't look at the screen, expecting some tint.. Unless there is a clear cut defect don't get a headache with all those replacements..

P.S. Build date 11-14-15... On other note, can someone plz tell me how to check for speaker equality in sound production? And also what are all the other issues to keep an eye out for..

P.P.S. Is it just me or the vibration strength on 6p is insanely strong?
[Nexus 6P General] ayush84:
I have the Spigen Rugged Armor on and the vibration is average to say the least.
[Nexus 6P General] laemo:
+1 the vibration is pretty average or below average I would say. I have a backup Moto G2 and that in contrast has as significantly more annoying vibration feedback.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
The vibration on N6P is just how it should be. The one on my N6 was so strong and loud the it breaks the whole point of putting a phone on vibrate mode.
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:

I don't touch the OS and have stopped modding it since years now. I prefer a completely stock ROM and kernel for stability.
[Nexus 6P General] nexustiger:
Just some points for potential buyers.

I got a G32(Grey 32GB), 11/14 build(Bootloader>barcode>Build date), few days ago with Spigen rugged armor case. Ordering intelliArmor, till then using this

No tint issue at all, overall slightly warmer screen. Screen gives a bluish-green hue when seen at angles, even when slightly tilted when seeing head on. Only then I noticed that the screen tone is warmer because otherwise, our eyes get adjusted to seeing the whites head-on. And let me tell you, this is an issue with ALL amoled screens now-a-days, yes even the Note 5 and S6 Edge+, I've compared myself. And in my opinion, THIS IS A NON ISSUE. When I got my device, I saw it a flawless piece, and then, I read some posts on this forum and from that point, my mind started thinking it as a big deal and I had seconds thoughts about returning it. Then a few days passed and I completely forgot about these XDA posts, and not once did I think there was something wrong with the screen.

See, IF YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG, DON'T GO LOOKING FOR IT. These are the words to live by when you purchase gadgets online.

You may think of a replacement when:

-A pink/green tint is obvious or screen is ridiculously warmer.

-Different colored patch on corners or half the screen is of different color(mfg defect as the panel is cut from a single sheet)

-Speaker crackling at 50% or lower volume. (If it crackles at 100%, it might be the audio file and not the speaker)

-Check near the power button, if there's a slight dent, go for an RMA.

(These are the common issues I've read about, you guys may add more points)

Reading all these posts makes you paranoid and makes you forcefully find a flaw even if there's none. Thinking about replacement is an itch, the more you scratch it, the worse it becomes. If a flaw is pretty obvious, only then think of RMA'ing it. Don't abuse the Flipkart 30-day policy just because you can. And remember, you don't see an issue, you don't go looking for it.

I'll update you guys about the intelliArmor once I receive it. MTT seems like a new Indian tempered glass company, heard their customer support and replacement policy is very good. (Pretty good deal for 595/-)

Spigen Rugged Armor is the best slim case I came across. Though it's not much grippier than the phone itself, the protection is pretty good. The faux carbon fiber texture looks better than I imagined.

Now these are just my personal opinions, yours may differ. Overall, for me it's a perfect device. Camera is spot on, low light performance is very good with HDR+, front cam is excellent, screen is gorgeous, and front speakers are the best I've seen in a phone. So if you're thinking about buying it, go for it without any second thoughts. Builds from 11/14 and later seem to have no major issues.
[Nexus 6P General] laemo:
Ordered the MTT tempered glass last week and had an issue with the glass. They were super kind and prompt to issue a replacement. I quite like the quality and it seems to have an oleophobic coating which makes it fingerprint resistant. Would definitely recommend buying their product.

if they sound equal when you put your ears near them, then they are equal, no? :) Holding the phone at certain angles makes it seem as if one is louder than the other. Frankly, there's no issue on my device.

[Nexus 6P General] vikram66778:
I too didn't noticed any unequality while hearing but i just wanted to know if there is any scientific way to know that:p as someone had that issue..
[Nexus 6P General] SpiritBreak3r:
I own an OPX, which is also powered by a similar "cheap" AMOLED display just like the nexus 6p. I am calling it "cheap" because, after a burn test the pixels usually should regain their original state but they didn't for these 2 phones. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTIaUH6PIvo)

But, I am here to talk about the screen tint, and I must tell you I am kinda disappointed because OPX's colors are more on point with the IPS LCDs. Here are few shots that I took from OP2.

Jerry Rig's video again? :(

Frankly, have had an awesome experience with the 6P and have not noticed a single issue shared on the Internet.

Google has said that it's the same Samsung panel as the one on the Note 5, so if this panel is cheap, am sure Note 5 panel is cheap as well, and by logic, all AMOLED panels are 'cheap'.

Same generation, not the same panel. There is a difference. Samsung's not stupid.
[Nexus 6P General] ayush84:
so, same generation = cheap and same panel = not cheap? The point that I was trying to make is Samsung's panels AMOLED panels are not cheap.

Also, please explain what's the difference between same generation and same panel. I mean how does it affect quality?
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
I'm not getting into the 'cheap' discussion :p

The difference might be in where they cut individual panels out of the big sheet of display or Samsung might do some extra bit of processing. I'm not working for Samsung so I can't give you accurate details. The fact is, googlers who hosted Reddit AMA said, it is the latest gen panel, not the same panel.

In Silver?

64GB's? I am hoping they have passed those 11/11/15 crap builds. Though I know pink hues are not only subjected to those batches but after 5 replacements of only getting those, I would like to avoid that stupid 11/11/15 number.

How many days its going to take for refund if i request for return today? Sales is from Dec 21st to 23rd Only.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
They've stopped giving refunds directly. You'll have to go through replacements twice and now they're sending technicians to your place who first confirm whether something's really wrong with the device and only then they'll send replacement.

No offence but what you're trying to do is exactly the reason they've made this process more and more stringent. Too many people are abusing their 30 days returns policy.
[Nexus 6P General] xyzisahero:
Yeah but the 3000 store credit will be given on 1st to 5th february ..... 2015 ! :p
[Nexus 6P General] inimaitimepass:
I've got refund twice and both within an hour!

They'll offer refund if you insist. No need to go thru replacements. But the 'technician visiting' is something to watch out for.

Agree.
[Nexus 6P General] dhruvmalik:
Tamil,

Returned the OPT and went for another trial of the N6p. Lets hope things work out.
[Nexus 6P General] jomy117:
There are only 64GB silvers and 32GB grey imported this month so far, so you may try those replacements or wait for a couple of days to check if newer builds were imported but are yet to show up.

Flipkart has only their policy to be blamed if they see a lot of frivolous returns. I would certainly feel robbed if a price drops as soon as I buy something so expensive. Some stores including Google store in US refund price drops retrospectively. I for one prefer a shorter Amazon like 10 day replacement period with price drop matching rather than a uselessly long 30 day period where even genuine complaints may get ignored.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
FKT or Huawei will probably disagree with your POV. The 30 day return period is to be used when the handset exhibits an in-field fault or manufacturing defect. Not because one starts sulking after a price drop or when additional benefits are offered to potential customers to encourage sales.

Frivolous returns is precisely the reason why they're getting a bunch of so called "techies" to evaluate each handset before processing a return.
[Nexus 6P General] jomy117:
I was not trying to justify returning just because of price drop. But we are increasingly seeing a trend of phone prices dropping steeply within months of release. In India we have come to terms with poor consumer rights. For e.g. price for Nexus 6P was reduced by USD 50 in US this week and Google is providing refund for all who are within replacement period. That kind of customer service is unheard of in India and why should we think that it is okay for us to be treated differently? Google US knows very well that with easy return policy and credit card price protection schemes in US it is better this way and customers come away happier.

I am just saying that there is a reason people try to misuse the system and those who are genuine should not be affected by the technicians who are in all probability poor evaluators. These guys are seen in all service centers and are the reason we prefer these e-retailers. Shorn of that convenience I would have bought from Croma or Mobile Store.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
What we should learn to do is accept the fact that sales policies, incentives, warranties etc can and do vary from regions to region and country to country. Also accept that fact that the US **IS** is the most important and competitive market for most manufacturers spanning across multiple industries. And these Manufacturers will offer incentives that customers in other parts of the world may never get to see. There's simply no comparison and there's no point whining about it.

I am one of those whose N6P is working perfectly for now. But I hate the fact that due to some over zealous customers who thought it fit to misuse the return policy (for their own reasons), there's a chance I'll have to face a bunch of idiotic so called techies who may turn down my claim. You see, if we screw around with these companies they will screw us right back by tightening their return processes. Can't blame them.
[Nexus 6P General] NishantM:
Well said and my exact thoughts.
[Nexus 6P General] sidthegreatest:
I feel it is perfectly reasonable for Flipkart as well as other retailers to offer price-matching for their lowest prices within 14/30 days of orders.
[Nexus 6P General] jomy117:
Well, lets just agree to disagree then. I don't think we need to accept anything nor do I believe that anyone in India gamed FK's return policies more than in US did with Google store. The argument that we can blame customers for a company's practices is insulting to my intelligence. iPhones and other premium phones never had this issue and so would Huawei if they had tighter quality control. A million dollar worth company ignored this and so their suffering does not need our sympathy.
[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
Fair enough. You can believe whatever you wish and nurse a grudge against the price drop. But that's not going to change their country specific policies. Nor are they going to offer retrospective rebates like they do in the US.

I guess you have also noticed that both Samsung and Apple dropped retail prices of their Note 5 and 6s models within 2-3 months of the official launch? The latest report of Apple iPhone price cuts came in today here: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...and-6s-Plus-in-India/articleshow/50262892.cms

Also, having owned multiple generations of Apple &/or Samsung products (mobile phones, tablets, laptops, iPods, etc), arguably premium products, let me tell you they aren't as perfect as their premium price tags would justify. And yes, one also gets refurbs as warranty replacements.

If one is worried about QA at Huawei it's best to avoid their product. I for one would never touch a non-Nexus Huawei phone. However, since they are tagged to make the next Nexus 6 2016 I'll probably buy that one too. Why? Simply because my approx 2 week old phone is working perfectly well so far. But it's too early to say anything about its reliability.
[Nexus 6P General] jomy117:
I have no grudge against price drops, just suggested a way to tighten false returns without blaming customers and penalizing genuine customers. I bought 2 weeks ago when they had extra 5K discount for exchange. Got a chromecast as well, so I must have got the best deal over here.
[Nexus 6P General] hacksome:
I discovered there's a pink hue across the screen on my 32GB 6P few days back. Tried my luck for a refund with FK. They promptly did. I bought a 64GB Graphite one from them. This time, the screen is great.

[Nexus 6P General] Sharp-Razr:
From whatever I've read on this thread, A32/64 models seem to have higher occurrences of display related issues. So, it may not be just a fluke that my G64 is perfect.

[Nexus 6P General] laemo:
I don't feel so bad over the FK price drops since I got 15k off with my N5. Got a refund for my G32 and bought myself a G64 two days ago. I had messaged them about price match but they said not possible. Which is fine considering I was able to upgrade to a better variant after some hassle.

You need to use Lightflow or a similar app to configure the colours. Not configurable off the bat unless the app itself lets you change LED colour.
