[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] asif9t9:
Got the phone during the week at work and got annoyed at location of finger print reader because at work my phone sits on my desk. But now on weekend I can appreciate the location because the phone is mostly in and out of my pocket.

I do need a keyboard that's a little narrower. When reaching across with thumb when trying one handed swiping, the base of my right thumb hits the bottom right of the keyboard.

Something else I noticed with balancing a bigger phone one handed...the screen rotates landscape more often. Once I get a TPU case put on, I'm sure I'll be able to balance it better.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] J.S.C:
I, like many others, have returned to nexus after a fling with the oneplus one. I was pretty worried about the size but I just had to get a 6p!!

I am already getting used to the size and am so happy with the phone in general, the placement of the finger reader is perfect!! The phone does require shifting around and preferably two hands in my opinion but it sits nicely in the hand.

If you like cases be wary or the added size and texture, a chunky, slippery case could see you dropping the device.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] asif9t9:
I can't imagine handling a device like this with no case protection.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] J.S.C:
Agreed! I always have cases for my devices. The added bulk is definitely worth it.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] JE78:
I just got my N6p yesterday. There's alot to like about this phone but coming from a LG G3 and Moto Turbo 2 this phone is big and heavy. I have till the 22nd of January to decide if its a keeper or not. I like just about everything about this phone, only other issue i've had has been with the ear piece speaker, I could barely hear the person I was talking to while in the car today. I'm also using the Spigen Rugged Armor case which barely adds any bulk to it.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] debug77:
If anything it's a tad too big.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] TrancerSte:
My only annoyance was that I found the power button to be very sensitive and would often press by itself when I walked with the phone in my pocket, causing the screen to wake up and often skipping/pausing/otherwise messing with my music via the lock screen control.

I was using the Huawei case that came free with the phone, which leaves the power and volume buttons uncovered. I just received this Spigen case, which covers the physical buttons making them much harder to activate accidentally: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016CBF3DE

This resolves my one complaint and I'm now totally happy with the ergonomics - I couldn't go back to a phone without a fingerprint reader.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] pjd2011:
Just got my device and after switching from a Droid Turbo 5.2" screen and thick...This thing is ginormous. Trying to give it a few days but may be returning very soon.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] farfromovin:
I think it feels great. I was worried cause I bought it sight unseen and I hated the Nexus 6 so bad I sold it immediately. I've had all the Note devices and will be selling my Note 5 now that I have a Nexus 6p. It's thin, but has a good weight, and I like you can use the Imprint dimple on the back as a placeholder for a little extra stability using one handed at times.

It's also nice to have a flat display for screen protector purposes, unlike the Note 5.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] biggyt:
I have a aluminium one, I found it too slippy so put a case on. It was a clear plastic case and seemed perfect for a few days! Then I felt I wasn't doing justice to how pretty this phone is, so I took the case off and applied a dbrand skin on the back. Now it's perfect!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Genghis.Tron:
Side buttons are too close together.. I often hit the power while adjusting the volume
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Exsurgence:
Just got this phone a few days ago. I love the feel of the phone, and the position of the fingerprint sensor - to me, that is genius. My only gripe is the position of the Volume/power buttons. I wish they were reversed. There are so many times i want to turn on the device, and Im making my music louder instead.

Other than that. great feel, great size. I'm very happy with the N6P
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Matt K:
I found the phone to just be a tad too big when making a phone call. Like it's just slightly bigger than my palm. Otherwise I really like the phone.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] riz157:
Good to hold in hand, definitely 2 handed use but all 5.5" screen Lovings are.

Finger print is in excellent position and works a charm every time.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Cerberus123:
You get used but not as good as Note 5. Front facing speakers are worth the "hassle".
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Jak Crow:
The volume and power buttons ruin the ergos of this phone. They sit too low on the side, plus both on the same side. I've hit the power button more times than I can remember thinking I'm hitting the up volume button.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] cattel:
The ergonomics is the only problem on this phone! MAN everyday i`m afraid to press any button accidentally! Idk why they`ve made it sooooo easy to press and togheter! Really sad with Huawei and for me this is A SERIOUS PROBLEM!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] republicano:
Buttons as everyone else, i have a cheap tpu case and you can barely feel the buttons, also too close together, otherwise the phone is really comfortable even with its size,

Audio jack on the botton perhaps,
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] wickednature:
Glad yall can afford these phones, i cant get my S4 to work right.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] crucialcolin:
I too am having issues with the button placement. unfortunately even with a case that helps such as the verus the buttons are still in the exact place were you hold the phone(fingers rest right on the buttons) I can deal with the larger size but not both size and button placement combined as it makes it uncomfortable to use. Unfortunately it may be the deal breaker as that ruined an otherwise good device.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] j1mgg:
It might be a tad too big, but what I think would help it massively for one handed use is the option to reduce the screen size by a third, which I could do on my honor 7 by swiping along the bottom navigation keys.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] drwasilew:
I bought a Frost nexus 6P when it first was available for pre-order. The edges feel a little sharp. I recently bought my wife a charcoal model and the edges are very smooth. honestly the whole phone feels better. Anyone else notice this difference? Is this a difference in the construction of the color models or a change in the overall production of the phone?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] MBCO:
Buttons are too low and edges sometimes get annoying but other than that I love it.

Got the aluminum 4 days ago.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] seangeezy12:
Feels a little big in hand and slippery
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] mso2000:
At the sametime fingerprint sensor is perfectly located, the volume buttons are in the worst position ever. It's hard to put the phone in most car stands or attach some gamepads grips that expect the middle area of phone is clear, so the volume buttons are pressed all the time with these accessories and most of time I accidentally press them when I take the phone.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] leondestiny:
i am saving up to purchase the 6p, could you guys tell me whether the edges are too rigid rough/sharp when you are holding it for some while ?

i used to own a Note 4 and the edges were very rough and they pressed against my hand and it hurt and was always uncomfortable to hold i hated it.

i hope the edges of the 6p are better.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] bluegizmo83:
I love this phone! Just got it in the mail on Thursday June 16th. But, I have to say, the bare phone in hand feel is not great. I literally boxed it back up after playing with it that first day, and I'm not using it again until my new case arrives in the mail sometime next week (because it's so easy to drop because it doesn't feel right in the hand). The problem is that it's too thin (and wide, but the width is only a problem because its so thin)! After I get a case on it, I'm sure it's going to be 100% better in hand feel. Maybe everyone doesn't feel this way, maybe its just because I've always had cases on all my phones, I don't know.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] poolparty:
I've got quite small hands, I have to admit typing one handed on this phone is a bit difficult.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] UmbertoJohnson:
The 6P is probably the best phone I've held in my hand (Except for the OnePlus 3, Damn that feels good;)). It fits perfectly in my palm and I have a very good grip on it.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Fargo_Zoidberg:
This phone literally has no grip to it.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] countersteer:
I wasn't sure about the size either. But after about a month or two with the phone, I really adapted to it. The hardest thing for me is how to keep it in my pocket.

Magnetic skin mods
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Are you comfortable in your own skin? Is your phone comfortable in its skin? Rate this thread to express how you deem the skin on the Huawei Nexus 6P. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it adds just the right amount of features, it's visually pleasing, and overall it's additive to the experience. If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] redsmith:
I did think you hand-wrote all of the prompts!! I feel so cheated now. Anyway, Android 6.0 is boss and king.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] svetius:
Haha. Well, at some point they were hand-written! :)
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] otariq:
Coming from a s6, I missed the fluidity of stock Android. The only thing I miss is multi window. I wish Google would implement this on stock Android especially this phone since it has a big screen. Other than this, the software is pretty much what we've all come to expect from stock Android - very fast and a clean look. Touchwiz was just bogging down the s6 too much and I couldn't bare the lag any more. Haven't come across any of that on the 6p yet
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] tweeny80:
Um, I use multi-window no issues. It is part of Android 6.

Enable under Developer Optoins. Not all apps are compatible, same as Samsung's stock implementation.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] otariq:
Where do you see it in stock Android? I just checked developer options and didn't see any such option as multi window. What category is it under?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] BerryAl:
Pretty sure it's achieved by editing a build.prop thing. Search on it, there's an XDA thread on it. But requires root, obviously. Then the option pops up in developer options.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Ves:
Vanilla Android, can't get any better than that.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] xSilas43:
so nice! very sleek design, feels great in the hand and very thin! feels just a little to slippery making a case a requirement.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Seion:
I love the feeling of the phone, light but a nice solid feeling. I will have to agree with the person above me, it is slippery. I am putting an Armorguard screen protector on and a dbrand skin on the back, to hopefully give it a little more grip. I so far love the placement of the fingerprint scanner, makes unlocking the phone easy for me. Loving stock android, Samsungs crapware was not cup of coffee...
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] aes512:
This phone lasted me entire day, until a few drops of water hit it and the touchscreen stopped responding.

Very bummed out! :(
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Rate this thread to express how well you can see the Huawei Nexus 6P's display outdoors. In case you've been playing Minecraft for 18 months straight, you might not known how to get outside anymore. Well, find the door and walk through it. A higher rating indicates that it has very high maximum brightness and thus fantastic outdoor visibility in direct sunlight.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] svetius:
Gets really bright, not as bright as Note5.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] jairusz:
It may not be the very best according to some but I can perfectly see the screen without having to cover the phone from the sun while wearing my polarized sun glasses. This is with adaptive display turned on.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Bigal77:
No complaints... Better than I expected after reading some reviews
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] SCREAMFEAR:
Yes

yes it has a gr8 screen
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Krey-zee:
Really struggle compared to previous phones.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Bigal77:
I have htc m8

..I see this one better and it's sunny at the moment of writing this. I guess if you're coming from a Samsung s6
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Krey-zee:
Not overly bothered either way, comparison was against an S5 which I thought was marginally better.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] jdub251:
When I got my 6p, my screen was a, sort of, two-tone. A light pink hue in the top left of my screen, that faded diagonally, to a bottom right, bluer hue. I was about to rma, even called Huawei. (Let's hope no one has to go through them) I thought it may be the back light calibration. So I downloaded lux, and voila, my colors were evenly distributed across my screen. And in turn, added a lil brightness outdoors. I turned lux off and my calibration is correct now. My screen, to me, looks a lil richer now and is pretty impressive. I'm coming from the Note 4 too.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Deekayy:
Better than the N6 when viewing in the sunlight...
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] radeon962:
Nice screen. Still prefer Note 5 screen.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] deeproot:
it bright enough for me. I can see the screen in full daylight fine.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Splifff:
Coming from a Galaxy S4, the 6P gets More brighter, and More dimmer than the S4. Was not expecting this great of a screen after reading all the posts. Unlike the S4, your eyes wont hurt when you wanna read something in bed with the lights off!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] tiborric:
readability

I know this is the wrong place to ask but does anybody has som feeling how the display is compared to Iphone 6 Plus in brightness outdoors?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Xenotrumpet:
Totally can relate. I came from an S4 and I noticed the brightness difference immediately.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Martini3001:
same here! love this phone.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] OneNutShort:
I feel like I'm doing something wrong, because my experience has been the complete opposite of what everyone is saying here. The screen is fine indoors or out of direct sunlight, but in direct sunlight it's crazy hard to see. I have adaptive brightness off, and the brightness setting cranked. Just prior to this phone I'd tried out the Moto X Style, and while every review I read knocked that phone for its display, I feel like outdoor viewing was significantly better, and it didn't have any of the blotchy/uneven/pink hued issues that amoleds apparently have.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] mrchennyken:
Outdoor visibility is extremely poor. Worse than my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] frashed:
Also really poor sunlight visibility here. RMA?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] kev503:
Adaptive Brightness

My 6p is bright enough for outside, but I have to be careful not to cover the sensor or the adaptive brightness will dim the screen.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] nicemsp:
No problems with outdoor visibility on max brightness.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] ziggo0:
Compared to my N5, I had to use a bit more brightness. I've since then switched off adaptive - even in direct sunlight with 85-100% brightness you can see the screen just fine. This is with no screen protector, I'll know tomorrow when it comes in though.

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] mbeau88:
I came from the Note 5 (after Note 4). I had the Nexus 6 and boy was that horrible. After testing one of these though, I instantly bought the 128GB version and will never look back @ Samsung.

There is no debating that the latest Samsung phones have the BEST displays, but this one is ALMOST as good! Many times better than the original Nexus 6, and the fact that it's so close to Samsung's screen brightness is amazing.

Aside from a few minor hardware differences... THIS IS PURE GOOGLE. Who gives a RIP if you can't see the phone QUITE as well in direct sunlight, when you have all of this Nexus goodness. The modding community is far superior, the speakers BLOW Samsung out of the WATER, the USB-C is awesome, it doesn't have the Samsung bloatware (or the bugs when you remove it)....

If Note 5 display was 10/10, this is 9.8/10 from me.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] DudeThatsErin:
I don't have any issues seeing the phone outside with my sunglasses on. I'll admit it is a bit dim but I'm using sunglasses so I expect that.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] adam_pl:
My previous GS6 had brighter screen, but since I'm using custom kernel with HB mode I can't complain to much - although it's still winter in Poland and there's not much sun out there.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] cattel:
It isnt the best one i`ve tried, but handle it well
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Thorsdog:
I am really surprised at the high rating for this screen in direct sunlight. I think it is one of the worst I have used since my HTC Inc2. Trying to take pictures on a sunny day is nearly impossible to even see what you are looking at. I do like the screen for indoor and low light very much.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] ben33891471:
Interesting.. people says that the Note 5 is a lot better at least when it comes to display and brightness.

I'm really doubtful, i want the 6P but after read some comments i ain't sure about it..

G5 and note 5 are amazing phone's but LG and Samsung isn't my favorite companies.

I don't like the software they are both have.

Laggy after few months, updates takes some time and overall doesn't look nice.

Note 5 is an option only because friends said good things about it as well as revivews.

Let's say there is only 4 phone's on my list, while the last of them there only because of the camera and replaceable battery.

1. Nexus 6P

2. HTC 10

3. Note 5

4. LG G5
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] neo905:
Outdoors is fine as long as there isn't a bright sun. Then the screen looks washed out.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] mosoman:
Note as good as my note 4 was but still viewable with little to no strain.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] omricn:
This is basically my only gripe with the phone. I love everything about it, but the display is very disappointing at direct sunlight. indoor is perfect.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] neo905:
I was trying to show someone a picture on my phone outside yesterday and they had to cup the screen to see it. I had it at full brightness and adaptive brightness off. Outdoor brightness is actually one of my biggest gripes with this phone as well.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Cloudane:
Yeah I have just been out on a sunny day (rare in Northern England but they do happen) and really struggled to see the screen. I had to cup my hand over it to read it at times. I don't recall having had to do this for years - not for the 5X, the iPhone 6, Note 2, HTC One X, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS or iPhone Original before it. In fact I don't recall a display this bad in sunlight since the Ericsson T610 I had about 13 years ago.

Edit: Even with adaptive brightness off

Far as I could see it wasn't really a constrast or brightness issue though, it just seemed to be shockingly reflective, turning into like a cloudy mirror in any sort of sunlight. Don't know if some kind of anti-glare screen protector would help - I'm not generally a fan of screen protectors.

It's my only complaint so far about an otherwise excellent phone. That's the only thing with Nexus phones - there's always something holding them back from perfection.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] adam_pl:
You can boost max brightness but need to root device first, flash custom kernel supporting High Brightness Mode and mode itself. It will significantly increase brightness. Joust search for High Brightness Mode
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] omf05:
The 6p in bright sun its pretty bad. The s7 Edge is very good in bright sun light. I thought the 6p used samsung display? I wonder why the max brightness is low compare to galaxy devices.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] pgptheoriginal:
The visibility is maybe the biggest flaw of this phone (after the SD810 debate) imo.

When compared to my previous N5's, the screen looks great in dim environments, but in well-lit conditions the black level of the AMOLED is not as nice to see, it feels like it's "emptier" than the one of the LCD of the Nexus 5... Or maybe it's just a tad more reflective and therefore less pleasant to see, but I feel it's a step backwards sometimes, when judging the mere pleasure to view contents on it.

On the other hand, I've never had any problem in seeing the information on the screen, in any situations. For those who have, just try selecting the maximum brightness manually, without adaptive brightness: the screen is capable of getting quite bright indeed! It has nothing to spare with the Nexus 6 (which I often use, but do not currently own), that is actually very dim.

Anyways, I keep sRGB mode always on, otherwise the colours are just terrible ;)
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] adam_pl:
nexus 6P uses Samsung's Amoled panel, but Google decided not to use high brightness mode with is present in Galaxy/Note devices. That mode is activated automatically and boosts max brightness. With HBM mode, Nexus 6P is right behind Samsung devices
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] neo905:
Let me guess. Rooting is the only way to get this?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] adam_pl:
Unfortunately Yes, because You need to flash custom kernel that supports HBM mode.

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] rhishavphukan:
Visibility outdoors isn't a problem at all. Its bright enough to get things done.

Only issue I face is when I get a call and take the phone out of the pocket to receive the call, adaptive brightness takes about 3 odd seconds to make the screen bright enough to see who is calling. It only happens after I'm indoors and go out.

Anyone else having this issue?

Little annoying but can live with it as this is the best phone I've used
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] tcoursey:
I'm not pleased with the brightness in the sunlight. I have a glass screen protector on it which may affect it a bit...but from what I can see in the areas the screen protector doesn't cover the LCD it has the same reflectivity and glare so it's basically the same screen.

It's not bright enough at all for me. Indoors is very nice and clear just not outdoors.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] e753:
Are you using High brigthness widget? I do not think so...

After I got it I can say it has one of the best outdoor visibility I have ever had
