[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
its just past midnight on the 9th

heres hoping it shows up on the playstore today....

just a guess
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Not yet......but...

We'll be lucky if it shows up in November 2015. With the rear glass cracking we just hope HuaGoo makes changes before releasing the second batch.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Collect your phone....

Madeo, did you collect your phone yet?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
It is delayed to 11-15. Bummer :/

I'll post pics when I get it.

Also, did "HuaGoo" say they were fixing the back glass cracking issue? Seems to concern a very small number of people only..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
No official word from HuaGoo but why the $25 refund awhile back for the delay shipment...hmmmm... We're all speculating..:D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerdim:
As expected the info was wrong as the Nexus 5X is already in Fortress.. I definitely am not trusting their expected date for the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I have a hunch it would be available in November on the HK Google Store. We just have to wait it out....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
I know that its available in a few places according to price with a slight premium from msrp

however... with the stories... id rather buy from google whenever that is...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Playstore...

Always better to purchase from Playstore as the local places get their stock from unknown sources.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
I would say that if you don't decide to by from Playstore but want to be assured local warranty stick to the likes of Fortress and Broadway.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
The Fortress and Broadway inventory of phones are always opened broken sealed boxes. People get to pick and choose the best phone so technically one would be buying a demo unit. :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
i need this choice if i buy 6P from them then

haha
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
Just got confirmation that the CW will received the early batch from Huawei on 16/17th.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
But...

But does this mean Google Playstore is ready to open the virtual door for orders?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
Maybe. I don't have any more info on that.

But with the 5X already out, the 6P should follow within 2weeks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Google waiting for Huawei

Google can do nothing if Huawei can't keep up with production. Since, Hong Kong is not one of the top cities to receive the 6P, we just have to wait in-line for our turn. Keep waiting..:p
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
It's funny because 6Ps are shipped out from Hong Kong for Australian orders. The irony.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Hong Kong is the Port for the...

Hong Kong is the place where a lot of the distribution to the other Asia cities occur. Therefore, Hong Kong is not one of the "important" cities for early distribution of the 6P. Thus, we shall wait and wait and wait....:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
Regardless of if they are open box or not, you still get official warranty. As opposed to buying a grey good one from Sin Tat, where you only get store warranty.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
Will check out CW next week then

I hate the iphone6s+

i bought one just cuz I wanted to try something different before moving back to android
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Yep, you get official warranty for a demo unit. The shops are never cooperative with our requests for a sealed box. Sin Tat, well, it's Sin Dat...buyer beware.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
How was the 6s+?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
it does everything I want it to do, except i cannot stand how iOS handles notifications and that annoys me.

however, the phone just "works"

wilson start to sell 6P

http://www.wilsoncomm.com.hk/product-display-1108
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangojai:
I just went to Wilson (Sheung Wan) and confirmed they have both silver and grey Nexus 6P - BUT only 32GB :crying::crying::crying:

Asked when the 64GB or 128GB will come out and they said don't know if HK will stock !
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
64GB will be offered.

64gb will be offered by Wilson as site states 64gb will be sold at $4,988. Another retailer is selling the 6P but Playstore has yet to start selling it....:crying:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Guys, I just checked and the 6P has started selling on the Google Store HK. Place your order.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
128gb graphite not yet available.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Leaves warehouse in 1-2 business days.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerdim:
Smartone also selling. Looks like they all received them at the same time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joetang97:
I just got the email about ordering at lunchtime today.

Hurriedly went to the Play Store to check, and it is available. But some combinations are not available right now. 32GB/128GB in Graphite are listed as Coming Soon and no Frost 32GB option

In either case, I've opted to wait a little while longer and hope the initial teething problems are corrected before I make the plunge.

All phones have initial launch problems and this one looks like it's keeping with the trend.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
going to go check out the device in person before i decide if I really want it or stick with my iPhone

I have my titanium backup file ready to go
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Take your time.

It's not like the iPhone where everybody needs to go crazy lining up (virtually) to get one. There should be plenty inventory for HK.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
What colour is everyone going to choose for their 6P?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
graphite
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I'm going for aluminum colour. I had black phones every time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
I just randomly checked the store and saw the 6p was in stock. already have the 5x, but would like the premium build of the 6p. try it out and then I can decide which one to keep.

Well Wilson's is the same as well, but they just re-seal the boxes. Bought a samsung S3 a few years back and when i got home i noticed a cut in the box on the other side of the box of the seal that was cut in front of me. samsung even includes new seals/stickers in their boxes. One of my colleagues who used to work in wilsons confirmed this.

I think it makes much more sense to get directly from google, free returns within 15 days, and they send a local courier to pickup from you at no cost.

going for frost (white) i think the contrast of the white with the black back glass and the polished chamfers makes it look so much nicer. aluminium seems a bit too similar to iphone and i'm pretty sure the chamferred edge on the graphite will chip over time, just like on the iphone 5S and on the oneplus 2.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthchilli:
has this been spotted in stores yet at all?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
The white colour is growing on me after seeing a couple youtube unboxings of the frost 6P.

128gb scheduled for 18-11 arrival. The wait is almost over. Sin Dat time for screen protector and case. Any suggestions for cases at Sin Dat (preferably tPU)

My order just shipped from Singapore. It should arrive at work tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
What time did you order yesterday?

I ordered at 3:50pm and still not received email about it being shipped yet.

Both time i ordered from google hk (nexus 9 and nexus 5x) it says shipping from google singapore on the invoice but it's shipped form warehouse in HK.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I placed order and received e-mail at 8:17p.m. last night. Mine was 128GB Frost. What was your colour? It said shipped from Singapore using Yamato courier and most likely distributed from HK warehouse.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
I ordered 64gb frost, are you able to track on yamato courier's site yet?

With the 5X, in the shipping confirmation email it said:

Purchased from:

Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.

8 Marina View, Asia Square 1 #30-01

018960

Singapore

but when actually tracking on yamato it shows it was picked up from location in HK.

really hope mine gets shipped out today. need to decide between the 6p and the 5x!

from my understanding, when the order goes into processing it is being prepared for shipment so it can no longer be cancelled. funny thing is my order went from pending stage (where I can still cancel) into processing in a couple of hours. now it has been in processing for nearly a day. guess I'm just too anxious.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
The e-mail said tracking is available 24 hrs. after sent e-mail. Singapore is probably the main distribution centre for Asia. It ships out from Singa to HK local warehouse.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geck123:
Currently, the 128GB Graphite(Black) selection is not in stock. Does anybody know that when it will be in stock? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
The next step is figuring out what tempered glass screen protector and case for the 6P. Sin Dat doesn't have much selection at the moment....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:

CW Professional Digital Computer Company - In Causeway bay

Same price as Google.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
Cool thanks, but I'm guessing there is no return policy?

I've got a 5x and want to try the 6p so I can decide which to keep. Seems only Google offers a return policy.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
No return policy yh....

but officiel Huawei warrantee
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekka:
Maybe a test unit?

Can anybody confirm that?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
Yes the 6p will have the markings as EU and Asia have the same version. EU law states the markings must be visible.

Only this year was the US law lifted so the FCC markings did not need to be on the outside of the device.

Just like on the iPhone 6s, US version does not have these markings but the HK version does, as it is same as version in EU.

But the nexus 5X has three versions, EU, Asia and US.

EU nexus 5X also has these markings, US and Asia version don't.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
I have that on mine
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Looks good.? It was a new sealed box? How does the AMOLED screen performance? The speed of the device smooth nd buttery?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
Yep it was sealed. The guy from the shop was very kind; opened the box in front of me, quick demo and gave me a free case and headset w/mic (both branded Huawei).

The screen is great (coming from Nexus 5); vibrant colours & very sharp.

I'm letting the phone charge right now so I haven't played around too much with it but I can still say it's FAST.

Also, I'm very happy with the build quality & design, fits my hand well and good weight.

The camera hump is barely noticeable. Buttons feel good, very tactile.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
great that you got freebies. Let the baby charge up before constant setup. Is the new backup feature actually mirror all settings and saved info to the 6p?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
You planning to put a case on the phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I just checked my tracking and it's at Tsuen Wan / Kwai Chung location of Yamato. So, it means Singapore Google handlrsball paper work and dispatch all units to relevant cities in Asia. I should receive my unit before lunch tomorrow. I'll be heading to Sin Dat tomorrow to check out the tempered screen protectors and cases.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
I couldn't tell you, I decided to start fresh.

But I'm pretty sure that's what the backup feature does.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
Nice,

Mine has also been shipped and my tracking says the same.

Can't wait!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd6noob:
eeewwwww your ass has some nasty ink!

lol j/k... its a nice device... you will enjoy.. just slap on a a nice case/skin if it bothers you that much..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
frost white 6P just got delviered.

the white coating is thicker and feels like there is already a sort of skin already on the case. it feels like plastic instead of aluminium, not sure how I feel about this.

looks wise it definitely looks stunning, it certainly does have that stormtrooper look.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
So it feels like rubber? I got the Frost on order and should be delivered this morning (10:10 being delivered)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Did you turn it on yet?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
It doesn't feel like rubber, more like a hard plastic coating. the white coating actually covers the antenna lines (these are visible on the graphite and silver) so the white is actually a coating OVER the aluminium, white the graphite is black anodizing like on the iphone.

yup, turned it on and playing around with it. one handed typing is not really viable for me though.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
The coating should be more durable then the graphite. Did you backup and auto install everything from your old phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furblehk:
Also got mine

Ordered on Monday, just arrived today.

Got the Aluminium 128gb

Although just realised i don't have a nano sim, will have to go to CSL to change....

I ordered mine through the Google store, so no freebies, but it's sent by Expansys on behalf of Google.

Strangely though they don't look available on the Expansys HK or SG website yet.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
I think I'm just a bit disappointed that it doesn't feel like aluminium, because of the coating, I thought it was a white anodized finish :(

nope just testing it as a new phone right now, I have the nexus 5x and need to decide which to keep :p
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I'm still waiting.....Expansys HK is pretty shady...but probably changed now. It's weird they get their stock from Google. They usually get grey market stock.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hi-Fi:
me too, it arrived home this morning, tonight back home and check it (mine is granite 64) hope it is not look like plastic

I need to change a nano sim later, do you think CSL will charge a HK$50
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
For the pure performance and features the 6P wins out. The 5X is too 2013 specs and feel. It seems they only changed the camera. Now, if the 5X was 3GB and used the 810 then it would be a different story.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I just got mine just now. I didn't open the box yet.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
It depends on the carrier. Smartone charged me $50 last time I switched to nano SIM. CSL might not but depends on the customer. If you're a long time customer for years then they might waive it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hi-Fi:
hope i can get waive, used it over 10 years

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

yes, if 5X come with 3gb and SD810, I surely pick 5X

I still worry i can;t get used to 6P size
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I came from a N5 to HTC 820 (5.5" screen) so the adjustment for me was quite big. Now, the extra 0.2" and the same width as the HTC, there is no prob for me. What phone did you come from before the 5X?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hi-Fi:
I'm from N5

yes need some adjustment, luckly, I don;t like to use case, it surely help

at least its adjustment is just 68mm to 78mm, not 81mm
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
I'm worried about not being able to adjust to the size either. I had nexus 6 earlier this year and I sold it because I got fed up of not being able to use it one handed.

I don't think the 5X is 2013 specs, 808 is still a very capable chipset and 2gb ram isn't too bad. rather like "top spec" computers with i7 and 16gb ram vs i5 with 8gb ram. vast majority of users will never use up the full performance of an i7 or 810, and the i5 or 808 will be plenty enough. also the 5x wasn't meant to be a flasgship model. But I also agree, if the 5x had the 6p specs and build quality I would be all over it in a heartbeat.

I've changed sims for free multiple times with CSL (keep changing between micro and nano sim, lol) and they've never charged me, but maybe because it's a company account.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
I know what you mean with the 5X. It's not all about the specs but is the 5X as smooth in everyday use as 6P? From the reviews there seems to be some hiccups with multi-tasking if lots of apps are opened at once. It's a company card so CSL won't charge you. If personal account they would charge you. :D I don't know how big your hands are but one handed use is a challenge for a 5.5" screen. You will be adjusting your hands in every direction to get your finger to the top etc...you get use to it. It's not that bad once you get use to it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgrind:
Having a N6p is more of future proofing your investment, considering the price [emoji4]
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madeo_:
Coming from a nexus 5, I was also scared of not liking the bigger format but I'm getting used to it pretty easily. I have smallish hands, I can manage to type with one finger and hold it well. The fingerprint scanner 'crater' can be used to get a better grip of the phone. I think the facts its very slim helps a lot.

Concerning nano sim, I cut my micro sim down using a template I printed online. Very easy and works well.

Loving the 6P so far. Battery life, display, performance and camera are great!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powlemann:
If people are still looking to buy one: I just picked up a sealed 32Gb silver model from Fortress in TST next to the Merry Christmas entrance to Kowloon Park on Nathan Rd.

They seemed to have plenty of stock in black and silver and the price was HKD4668.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Madeo,

What is your SOT?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
One thing I have noticed is the 6P screen is a bit warmer than my 5x, which is a bit warmer than the iphone 6s, lol. its not yellow, just calibrated warmer since it's not evident unless compared side by side. but being amoled the colours are rich (without being too over-saturated like samsung) and the blacks are true deep blacks.

one handed typing for me is "manageable" but definitely not comfortable. my grip with one handed typing is not particularly secure either, but slightly better than the nexus 6 i guess.

having the spec bump is nice as it also enables some additional functions in the camera app which the 5x doesn't get (burst mode, 240fps slow mo)

The only lag i experienced with the 5x was sometimes suring launching the camera (this was reported in a few reviews) sometimes the orientation took a seconds or two to correct so i could start using the camera, or ring on the camera button to turn blue so i can start taking photos. but i expect this as more of an app issue as a camera app launching shouldn't be that taxing on the cpu.

so overall i'm currently torn between the two devices, i would definitely say they are both the best nexus devices by a significant margin.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furblehk:
I changed my sim to Nano sim last night at CSL, no charge.

I have an Octopus enabled SIM, they said credit on the old SIM still works, just no more phone function, so it's still in my old phone.

They can't transfer the funds across. I haven't actually tested my old sim yet, but it only had a few dollars left on it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Did you choose the less saturated colour setting in the developers settings? The colour is more natural and less saturated. There should be a fix for the camera app sooner or later as Google is always tweaking the software dies of things.

The 6P does feel more premium and with choice of 64GB and 128GB one can't go wrong with the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcng:
Anyone find any cases for the 6P? I went to Sin Dat last night and nothing. King Wah has minimal selection at the moment but there is the cheap $98 tempered glass screen protector on the 2/F.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHD:
thinking of getting the phone from google device... does it have that CE marking on it?

also... hate to bring this up.. but has anyone's phone bend yet?

thanks ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joetang97:
I don't think anyone will try to bend their phone to test.

There clearly seems to be a problem with the strength of the metal used in the phone. They can correct it by increasing the thickness of the back cover where the battery ends. I think latter versions of the iPhone did that after Bendgate.

I'm going to wait a month or so before I get it and hopefully it'll be fixed.

What I'm worried about is increase in size of the phone from my current one. HTC M7 4.7" to 6P's 5.7.

It's nearly identical in size to the iPhone 6s Plus and I tried my friends. It is certainly larger and I think it will take time to get used to it.

But first I'm going to wait for the first batches problems to be fixed before buying.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
yes as I said previously:

Yes the 6p will have the CE markings as EU and Asia have the same version. EU law states the markings must be visible.

Will HuaGoog actually fix it? Do they think it is a problem? Maybe this current batch is the new batch. It only takes several days to be accustomed to the larger size.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHD:
ok thanks for the info.. just thought that google stock might be different to the local HK stock which they sell in fortress or boardway

i don't think google will fix it.....it is kinda like the power button problem with the n5
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
no worries, there is just two models of the 6P:

H1512 - EU/Asia

H1511 - US

on the other hand the 5X has 3 models:

H791 - EU (Global)

H790 - US

H798 - Asia

so the Asia and US models do no have the CE markings.
