[Nexus 6P General] AvRS:
I can't remember who it was but in one of the well known reviews, may have been MKBHD, they put similar pressure using their hands and said it didn't bend so I'm a bit dubious of this phone as he made it look really simple. I know I've never put a phone in a back pocket ever so likelihood of me sitting on it and bending it are next to none. As for scratches my Nexus 5 after 2 years is still scratch free so I'm also quite happy on that front and will be in a case as all my phones go.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikulec:
Not MKBHD, more like TechnoBuffalo. This?

[Nexus 6P General] AvRS:
You're correct, I forgot who it was but I've heard it mentioned elsewhere too, I've just watched too many reviews to remember :laugh:
[Nexus 6P General] Mikulec:
The question is if he really tried to bend it or it was just a joke.

Well....it's a good thing that I don't go to the beach, I'm not a welder, or sit on my arse all day. Hello otter box! And the warranty police better add some man power :)
[Nexus 6P General] Renosh:
Next time look at the previous page instead of "thinking"!

Either way I've seen someone else claim they tried this bend test on Twitter and they couldn't manage the feat. Might be this guy had a defective unit or the crack on the front caused the phone to bend easier
[Nexus 6P General] jaythenut:
Lol :silly:
[Nexus 6P General] freesoul27:
So everyone who received his Nexus 6P please try to bend it, and report back :D

If anyone needed anymore proof . here's one more ;

[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
I've had my device for 24 hours now. All I'm going to say is that this is the best android device I've had the privilege of owning.

The only concerns I have are scratches accumulating on the body since I carry my device naked. Otherwise this thing is built solid, feels great, is incredibly smooth and really does a great job of ticking almost all of my boxes for a perfect device.

Is it perfect? No. I'll probably adjust colors just a tiny bit on the screen. It is gorgeous as is but I think it can be just a tiny bit better.

I wish they had expandable storage but 64gb is more than enough for me.

I wish they had wireless charging

I wish the type c cables were not a finger in the rear end price wise

Honestly though, it's an excellent device. I don't think anyone here will be disappointed. I'd put this up vs the Note 5 or the S6 and at it's price range you can't beat it. Add to that the development here, this is a development board although sometimes you wouldn't know it, and this is a no brain purchase.

Can't wait for all of you to get your phones so you can check it out in person.
[Nexus 6P General] aw1974:
Do you have the graphite? Are they just surface scratches?
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
The cables are a bit of a pain in the ass, check out the OnePlus USB-C cables though, probably the best priced and actually very high quality. i bought 2 recently , came very quick and they are excellent.
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
I have no scratches at all. Just something I'm concerned about because I have the graphite. I think graphite looks gorgeous but I do think frost will hide the scratches a little more. Love my graphite though despite that.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Damn fine advice, didn't think to look there. I have a opo as well so I know their cable quality. Thanks for that.
[Nexus 6P General] aw1974:
Gotcha, I read it as you were concerned with the accumulation of scratches that have already occurred. That's the reason why I went with aluminum. I had a black Z3 and every little nick or scratch showed on the black aluminum.
[Nexus 6P General] PlatinumNick:
Are the one plus cables capable of fast charging?
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Yea when i plug them in it says " charging rapidly "
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Hahahahahaha....NICE! :) :)
[Nexus 6P General] brar.arsh:
So here's the DROP TEST!!

[YOUTUBE]EacHn7NID7U[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
Did better than I thought it would. Not bad. Certainly not the best but not bad at all.
[Nexus 6P General] brar.arsh:
Yeah same here, I thought it will break in first drop after watching that bend fake test.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Pocketnow did side by side with the 6p and 5x and 6p was quite a bit smoother. Seemed fine to me and better than what i have.

OIS makes the phone thicker because it needs more space so not just a cost thing.

I think the point is that it's in all the new snapdragon chips though it sounds like it has to be activated to be tripped.

Russell Holly at AC said the 6p was cooler than the Samsung Galaxy S6 in doing the same tasks.
[Nexus 6P General] sumit29:
Do the oneplus cables support quick charging 3a/5v standard?

Edit: please ignore, already answered.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Yeah, because it's throttling so much. Benchmarks show the S6 performs better.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
As long as its running smooth, I'm OK with that.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
This device hasn't lagged once for me, performance jsnt a question
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
At least we'll have a way to disable throttling with kernels and roms once the devs get rolling on the 6p..........s6? Not so much :'(
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Development for the S6 (I've got the Edge) is virtually zero. It's one of the reasons I'm changing to the 6P. Incidentally, performance with the latest stock Rom on the Edge is great, very little lag or performance issues (aside from the terrible Ram management) . I always prefer stock Android and a Nexus however.
[Nexus 6P General] fchowd0696:
Who the F cares about benchmarks?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
That guy!
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Calm down. Specs wise the latest Samsung flagships are clear winners and the Exynos has little heat issues. I said above though I prefer the software, development and general usage of the Nexus.

Great camera comparison between the Nexus 5X, iPhone 6s, Samsung S6 and LG G4. Of course this is relevant here because the 5X and 6P cameras are identical.

Just found an unboxing video...

https://youtu.be/cv3DhQKral8
[Nexus 6P General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Funny how this is meant to be a review thread and all I can see is links to hands-on and unboxing nonsense. We already had hundreds of hand ons when Google unveiled the devices in the US. So please stop posting links to previews or anything that is NOT a review.
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
People don't do any research thats why or pay any attention to what a review is.

These people will buy a device on the promo videos alone.

Need to have an in depth review of nexus imprint and the camera to be honest, everything else is a given if you own a nexus 6 apart from Build quality.

Marshmallow is not all its cracked up to be and unless the camera and finger print delivers there is really zero reason to buy this over the nexus 6 really.
[Nexus 6P General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
I skipped the N6 because it was too big. But since the N6P is not as wide I think it will be easier to hold.

Currently I'm using a Moto X Style and I love the form factor.
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
It delivers on what it's supposed to be, polished. It's the same transition from ics to jb.
[Nexus 6P General] H0tep:
LG and Huawei aren't American and they're the manufacturers. But as said before, that's irrelevant

That was released over 2 weeks ago and is nowhere near a 'first real review'.
[Nexus 6P General] brar.arsh:
Yes it's a good one but you should note that it's a prototype and not final retail version. It seems to me that video was recorded before actual launch.

Phone looks good.
[Nexus 6P General] DrunkFuX666:
Did anyone notice in this above review, he mentions this phone supports Dual Sim... That's the first time I heard/read that...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6P General] ylexot:
Yeah, there are two threads about it. However, that was a prototype device. One of the videos from India shows a SIM tray that is big enough for two, but one of the spots is blocked off.
[Nexus 6P General] karikian:
I am officially scared... Over 30 seconds for the boot?!??

Another nexus 6 junk boot like phone? If it is, I might be returning it... tsc tsc... I hope not to be disappointed...
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
30 seconds for the boot! Really? Your worried about that? You can't be in that much of a hurry. :)
[Nexus 6P General] fatboypup:
Initial boot though
[Nexus 6P General] Splifff:
huh? you're worried about a 30 second boot? All other phones I've looked at have had so many other serious issues, if this is the only problem with this phone I'd be glad.

LG G4: Missed taps. Galaxy S4: dust inside proximity sensor....these are serious issues.

Thought I read somewhere the double twist feature was being removed from final software version
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
Nexus 5 takes over 2 minutes to boot, but it has never bothered me, because I can go a month without rebooting due to the incredibly stable pure android. When I had Samsung phone, going a day without rebooting was unthinkable.
[Nexus 6P General] Elnrik:
With my old S2 it was a daily routine: Wake up, reboot, take shower, check if reboot was done... nope, not done... get dressed, eat breakfast, check if reboot was done... plug into car charger because reboot sacked 15% battery... hehehe
[Nexus 6P General] karikian:
]I got spoiled with nexus 5, Galaxy s5, s6... They all take 14 to 16 seconds. I loved my nexus 6, but the 1+ minute to boot was ridiculous. Went back to n5, while the wife likes samsungs... I was jealous while I had the n6. Have been waiting anxiously for the new nexus... Let's wait and see...

[Nexus 6P General] chortya:
What is the difference? I have LG G4 now and I reboot only once in 3-4 weeks... In this case 15 or 30 or even 60sec does not really matter. The phone just needs to stable enough so you DON'T have to reboot :)

Nexus 6 at 85,% brightness and 6p at 100% are almost at same nits [emoji15]
[Nexus 6P General] :
that means Double tap to wake is off too?
[Nexus 6P General] 0.0:
I'm not sure. I was only talking about the double-twist feature to launch the camera
[Nexus 6P General] painfree:
So VERY disappointed. I was hoping it would be far brighter than the Nexus 6 which is hard to see outside as it is.
[Nexus 6P General] JCUK89:
i'd wait for proper reviews to see the quality of the display.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Calm, that video didn't show if adaptive brightness was on. if it was that a huge difference
[Nexus 6P General] Fentadroid:
Damn..... they have a N6P for a long time in their hands and what do they do?? Tell us the same things we know since months! Ram, cpu, how is big.... useless comparisons.

Just try the fingerprint sensor!!! Try how fast are apps like games etc etc!!! Try the external speakers!!! ufffffffffffff
[Nexus 6P General] lndulgence:
I just need to know how the battery performs before i consider myself sold to this Nexus.

(please be "that" good as i am about to replace my Nexus 4 this year)
[Nexus 6P General] Funkym0nkey:
Heh, that video was shot at Nexus India launch event demo booth and then that guy has done voice over. No way anyone can judge the phone in the 15-20 mins they had with it. So that comparison is only good for things like size. He would not have had time to check for adaptive display and other settings like sRGB mode in dev options.
[Nexus 6P General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Yes, the N6 display is actually already too dim. So the 6p shouldn't be even dimmer, especially since they said that they are using the latest amoled panels from Samsung, which have insane brightness.
[Nexus 6P General] Matrix_19:
exactly, adaptive brightness can make a big difference
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
I think mine is slow booting because the storage is encrypted. I am required to do it to receive work e-mail.
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
If you look closely its just the background. The N6 has a bright background and the 6P has a realistic one. Look at the Play Store icon on both phones. Much brighter on the 6P. And yes of course adaptive brightness will make a huge difference
[Nexus 6P General] The Zel:
Same, coming from a nexus 4 which has an horrible battery life

Nexus 4
[Nexus 6P General] Matrix_19:
my GF has a n4 with better battery life than my N5 :) lol

I can't wait to replace it :)
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
Adaptive brightness is overridden by using the slider, so it makes zero difference in this case
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
Are you sure? My experience with my N9 is that the slider will simply effect the Max brightness when using adaptive brightness.
[Nexus 6P General] sdelcegno:
Not always true. On my note 4 on adaptive outside the screen can get about 200nits brighter. You can't replicate it inside as it onlt does it I'm sunlight.

Also on Android if its like the moto pure the slider could be set to max but in settings you have a different t slider that can go higher. It's so you can put adaptive to not get so high but under notification it will look like its on full but its not. Hard to explain
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
In old versions of android (before 5.0, IIRC), you were either on an adaptive brightness with no control over the actual brightness (the slider was disabled as soon as you turned adaptive on) or a manual brightness using only the slider, with the screen never adapting. With the latest versions, android now uses controls like iOS, with the slider determining the brightness that you like, and the adaptive toggle decides to adjust it up and down based on both ambient light and your preferred brightness level.

I just did an experiment indoors inside my office under florescent lights and my Nexus 5. I turned off the adaptive brightness toggle, and pushed the slider all the way up. Then I went back into settings and toggled adaptive back on, without touching the slider at all. As soon as adaptive was turned on, the phone light sensor sensed I was in a moderate indoor lighting setting, and the screen dimmed considerably. If I had been out in the bright sun, the dimming would have been far less, or none; conversely, in a dark closet, it would have dimmed much more. The only way to see the full screen brightness was with adaptive toggled off and the slider all the way to the right.
[Nexus 6P General] ibous:
Right on. Also look at the search bar and the on screen buttons. The N6 is definitely dimmer.
[Nexus 6P General] Matrix_19:
I just made the test... you are wrong !
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
No its not.
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
yes it is.

1. Turn adaptive brightness on

2. Turn the brightness up to 90% or even wah Down So you can't see the screen

3. Stick your phone under a really bright light

Watch as the phone remains at 90% brightness . . . . or whatever you set it to ,

Happens with my nexus 5 / 6 and 7 2013 running 6.0
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Nope, even with max on the slider with adaptive on the brightness is nowhere near as bright as normal max. Sorry
[Nexus 6P General] mentalcase87:
You are right in the fact that it is not "overridden" but it does disable it. If you have the phone set to auto and touch the slider it will disable auto brightness.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
It doesn't do that either. I just tested it, turn on auto brightness moved the slider, then put the device near a screen and it brightened, then put my hand over and it dimmed.

The slider is used as an adjustment to how aggressive the auto brightness is.

There is a huge difference between max brightness on auto and without it.
[Nexus 6P General] mentalcase87:
I realized after I posted it that we were discussing adaptive which is the new brightness control rather then auto. Since I had to go back down to Kit Kat I forgot a difference existed between the 2. Adaptive like you are saying is only a set range that you specify with the slider. Beyond that the phone continues to handle the rest so you are indeed correct.
[Nexus 6P General] italia0101:
Ah, that's explains it, but yep that's the one
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
I was just eating lunch and that dawned on me as well. The people arguing that moving the slider disables adaptive are thinking of when it used to be "Automatic Brightness". Automatic meant that the brightness of your screen was determined solely by the light sensor. So if you were in sunlight your screen was at 100% brightness no matter what. Adaptive means that I can set the slider lower to say 50% and when I'm in sunlight theoretically it would never go past 50% brightness and then be much lower than 50% in darker areas
[Nexus 6P General] PlatinumNick:
so whats the conclusion to this argument?, should we be dissapointed on the brightness level of the 6p?
[Nexus 6P General] tacosrdelicioso:
The conclusion is we don't know yet how bright it is
[Nexus 6P General] MRFERRARI23:
But this phone is still going to give us the option to use the slider and set the brightness to whatever level we desire right?
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
That's been part of base android since Lollipop, and is still there in Marshmallow. This phone ships with base android Marshmallow, so there.
[Nexus 6P General] ARSCAN:
Check out this video, specially when the guy runs antutu, the 6p is not even beating last year's nexus 6, courtesy of our good pals from Qualcomm. Definitely not good news.

https://youtu.be/v9JFwI3pq-I
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Then don't buy it!
[Nexus 6P General] Poke_N_PDA:
Yet I get the feeling from a user perspective it will be a night and day difference in speed and performance.

---------- Post added at 08:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

I'm going to predict that we see the review embargo drop sometime between the 27th and the 29th. It appears review units are out and that give the users a solid 2 weeks or so with the devices. Plus, it is about the same time that orders are shipping. The timeline just makes sense.
[Nexus 6P General] keer-en:
This video show differently so I wouldn't be worried until we get some proper reviews.

https://youtu.be/gBCMzucLC04
[Nexus 6P General] cbowens:
The scores also depend on the software; the N6 2014 is running fully released, stable software. Is the N6p in the video running an equivilant, or is it using prerelease software? Prerelease software can vastly impact performance scores.
[Nexus 6P General] ozzyager:
Also - my Nexus 7 (2013) runs better in real-world use than my Tmo Note 4, other than some games, of course. I certainly am not worried about the AnTuTu scores...
[Nexus 6P General] BerryAl:
Benchmarks like these are way too artifical.. Rw usage is much more important
[Nexus 6P General] pr0cl1v1ty:
This.
[Nexus 6P General] mehdi_s82:
Who cares about Benchmarks? I had N6 and now S6 edge. My N6 was way snappier in real use but S6 has better benchmark scores. I am sure N6P will be fast enough.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
It would be absolutely no surprise if the 810 in the 6P is a pig. It's a mess in every other phone that uses it, V2.1 included. For everyday use it'll be acceptable but running games, cpu intensive tasks and after extended usage of multitasking etc, it will be problematic. Crazy to think otherwise.
[Nexus 6P General] cbowens:
It's interesting how extreme the two camps are on the SD810; half the people think its gonna be rainbows and unicorns, and the other half think it's gonna perform about as well as my old droid eris once a certain level of cpu demand is put on it. I'm feeling a bit lonely in the "wait and see" camp; I'll try it out for myself and see how it handles what I want it to do, and if it can do it, great, and if not, I'll just return it.
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
I'm with you, wait and see. I would not say I'm a power user. But I do intensive tasks on my phone occasionally. I think for my use it will be a great device. Seems like people need to complain about something with every nexus... 4 was the fact that LG made it...

5 was how cheap it looked, N6 encryption ruined the device. None of these were really problems. My N6 encrypted is the fastest device I've ever owned, my N5 took a beating. The 4 was a gorgeous piece of glass slabs.

I guess what I'm saying is I can't wait to get my 6P... If it turns out to be a dud I'll return it for the 5x. Both are still upgrades to the 6.... Not huge ones but good
[Nexus 6P General] designgears:
Has Antutu been updated for Marshmallow?
[Nexus 6P General] Mikulec:
More interesting part of the antutu benchmark is when he is showing the FPS, the color on the corner of the phone looks already scratched. :(
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
It's aluminum, it scratches. We'd need something like tungsten
[Nexus 6P General] RED ZMAN:
Don't feel lonely brother, pull a seat up by the fire and we can eat popcorn and make smores while everyone else argues about it.

:highfive::cowboy::angel:
[Nexus 6P General] WoodroweBones:
I've been sitting there myself. I was originally very skeptical (and not a fan of the 810). I would like to think that Google wouldnt have gone with the chip if there were still major issues. Also being that the phone is made of aluminum its essentially a giant heatsink which may be the way they solved it
