Best nexus device I've had to date the build is quality and the design is awesome yeah the n6 was a great phone but its outdated tech.
[Nexus 6P General] Altimas:
I read an owners response of how his phone wasn't even, as if it was twisted. I think I read it here but I can't find it. I got my phone yesterday and I love everything about it except that I did the same test and sure enough mine wasn't even either. To test, lay the phone gently display side down on a flat surface and press on the corners, if its uneven you will feel a small wobble.

Well this doesn't actually bother me that much, but what I did was I actually held the phone by the edges and very gently twisted it back into shape, the crazy thing is, we're talking a very little amount of force, and it came out wobbly on the other corner, meaning very little force is required to twist this phone. A twisting action is probably much less a concern than a bending one but I'm still surprised at how easy it is to twist it, I'm sure that its less force than what a phone would endure in someones pocket. Can anyone else confirm?

By no means am I telling anyone to damage their phones, be very gentle.

Got my 128GB frost white yesterday and so far it seems perfect. The only minor things that I've noticed have been the high pitched sound the vibration motor makes and the volume rocker being slightly loose fitting. Neither of which bother me at all. The sound made by the vibration motor can't be heard in anything but total silence essentially.
[Nexus 6P General] Henrock11:
I was just going to ask this exact same question now. I was worried that it may be something loose inside the phone. Then I tried it on another 6p and felt the same thing. It seems to be normal.
[Nexus 6P General] Logi23:
Yeah, it seems to be something normal as stated by ElDaddy. As long as it doesn't affect anything, I am fine with it.
[Nexus 6P General] Smowza:
My first 6p had a small dent in the thin plastic that surrounds the glass on the top right of the phone, my replacement came today and it has a smaller but deeper dent in the same platic but this time right next to where the power button is... I could feel it easily with just holding it... Hoping for 3rd time lucky
[Nexus 6P General] ChrisJ:
I've got my replacement know and I'm happy to report it is perfect. No issues at all. The volume rocker is much firmer and more positive, back panel even and no marks in the metalwork. I'm a happy camper...
[Nexus 6P General] nonnasmyladie:
Build quality on my device is excellent. The buttons do not feel loose or wobbly at all. This is by far the most solid smart phone I have ever handled (including Iphone 6S). Over 5 days of use with no case and there not a single visible mark on the device. I carry the phone in my pant pocket (w/ coins and such) and no issues. I am shocked that the camera lens doesn't get smudged. My Galaxy phones always had issues with fingerprint smudges throwing off the camera.

I was very concerned that the glass camera bar would get destroyed quickly since it is essentially a stand for the phone when you rest it on a surface but so far no problems. I put the phone facedown and faceup on my wood desk at work and stone kitchen counter at home regularly. I have even dropped the phone onto a wood floor from the night stand (3ft) and it was fine.

The vibrate is extremely light. Just enough that you can feel it in your pocket. I have begun to use audio notifications for the first time ever because I actually can't always hear the phone vibrate if it is sitting on the desk.

I don't see any of the viewing angle or color tint problems that others have. My viewing angle is rather impressive. To get a hue shift I have to be at like a 170 degree angle. The color balance of the screen is definitely calibrated crazy. The colors are way off but they look great on the screen. It would only be an issue if you are editing a photo on the phone and then sending it to another screen. If you turn off the adaptive display it helps a lot with that issue. If you are taking your photo editing that seriously then you probably know how to compensate for the color balance.

Only issue I have is that when you are listening to music on the internal speakers at full volume they are pretty fuzzy and

speakers sound a little rattly. I think you could burn the speakers out if you blast music on full volume too often but that is the only place I think quality is lacking.

Granted it has only been 5 1/2 days but build seems good.
[Nexus 6P General] jtwlbz:
Yeh best nexus phone. Very impressed. I wish power button was stiff thou
[Nexus 6P General] michael871410:
My screen is scratched right out of the box....
[Nexus 6P General] Alferboy:
I've heard Google is not considering uneven speakers (on a stereo phone!) as a defect, after instructions from Huawei! You can only return and get credit back. What's your take on this?

How about the second video from the guy the made the bond test? The one where he pulls one out of the box and bends it without any treatment. With a twistable phone and the issues he speaks about on how it's structurally build, makes you wonder...
[Nexus 6P General] pj1980:
all these defective phones are getting me nervous for when mine arrives on monday, i'm feeling like there is a 90% chance i'll have to rma from all i've read on different forums :(
[Nexus 6P General] AhsanU:
I saw the new video he put up, and while I'm not worried about it, I can definitely see others being cautious. It's a bit ridiculous how easily the phone broke in half. I treat my phones very well, so I'm hoping this won't be an issue.

I'm sure Huawei was able to keep production costs low, and it seems to reflect in this guy's videos.
[Nexus 6P General] graffixnyc:
I got my replacement today the screen has more of a pinkish hue. The odd thing is my original stopped making the sound it was making.. It was probably the adhesive not fully dry.. I think I'll just keep the original.

I really like both devices for different reasons. I like how the 5x is smaller, lighter and more comfortable. The 6p feels more premium, sound is amazing compared. I have been using the 6p for a week as my daily and today I switched back to the 5x. I do notice the 6p holds apps in memory longer but that's expected with the extra gig.

Ha ha nice!
[Nexus 6P General] phenix14:
Just wanna pop in here to say that I just got my 64 GB aluminum today and so far it's flawless. Out of box the screen was a bit cool, like on Samsung devices with 'Adaptive' color mode selected. Once I set it to sRGB the screen is pretty close to my GS6 in its basic mode which is also calibrated to sRGB. No weird color blotches or gradients and off-angle color shift is about the same as the GS6 which only gets bad at extreme angles. Physically there isn't even the most miniscule of defects. I'm not usually one to be bothered by a minor ding or scuff but I looked hard for one and couldn't find anything.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Same here, received my 64 GB aluminum today and the hardware looks & feels flawless. What a beauty!
[Nexus 6P General] badboy47:
My ups box was fu*ked up. Funny when I ran outside the ups guy quickly got into his truck which made me nervous about my phone. Gladly the phone is in good condition. everything is working. 64gb Alum :).
[Nexus 6P General] Logi23:
Lol, my box from FedEx was smashed in from one of the corners; I was like great.....but the device ended up pristine for the most part. I'll take a mint phone w/ a jank box over a perfect box w/ a defective phone.
[Nexus 6P General] goffmj:
I received my 128GB frost beauty on Monday, but haven't had a ton of time to really play with it until today. Before powering it on for the first time, I gave it a look over and noticed the bottom panel was not flush with the rest of the frame. It isn't too bad, but still kind of irked me. Once I turned it on, the screen definitely had a yellow tint to it. Add to that, I can hear a rattle behind the top speaker. Needless to say, I RMA'd the device today. I could live with the back panel not being flush, but the screen and rattling - not so much.

I just placed my replacement order, but noticed there was no option for Nexus Protect, which I did opt for on my original purchase. Do you think it will transfer to the replacement phone? I'll be pretty annoyed if I end up paying for Nexus Protect through my original purchase, but can't use it on my replacement.
[Nexus 6P General] wind784:
Gave my graphite 64gb the once over when it arrived after reading some of the stories, no body problems, screen is wonderful, basically zero issues for me, very happy with my purchase... Always a few lemons out there I suppose. Ordered every year and haven't had any horror yet with my "first batch" devices of which I've had.
[Nexus 6P General] @home:
What is this screen issue you speak of?
[Nexus 6P General] Olddog828:
Received my Aluminum 128gb yesterday and like I have seen in some of the replies, the outer box was all messed up, smashed in at one end and tape cut at both ends so that you could see into the box, heard the actual box the phone was in bouncing around inside so was prepared for the worse. Opened it all up and found a great looking phone. No blemishes on any of the surfaces, screen coating looked even and no obvious blemishes on it either. Put in the new sim from Verizon and without all the problems or hassles I was expecting, had it activated inside of 15 minutes. The phone feels great and IMO is a good weight as it feels good in my hand and don't have the feeling that i am going to crush it or drop it as it seems a good balance to me. Do not like the little 6 inch charging cable included for use with normal USB connector. Barely long enough to plug it into computer and let sit the phone down. Will have to look for a longer cable there. Really cautious now till my cases/screen protectors come in, definitely don't want to scratch the case before i get them. Overall a beautiful phone and very happy with this purchase. Can't wait to start rooting and getting more into setting it up and seeing what it can do.
[Nexus 6P General] Ludio:
I received my frost Nexus 6p on Monday. It was pretty much defect-free I'm not sure if the relative in the top speaker is an issue or not! But I do have that but the buttons the screen and the back panel sit flush with the body. The only blemish that I noticed is 3 scratches on the chamfered bezel above the USB type c port. That isn't enough to make me send it back but to have something that I didn't mess up myself out the box and imperfection is a little bit bothersome. But compared to other manufacturing issues I think I'm pretty lucky. I am tending to believe the issues with the 128 gig aluminum variant delay has to do with quality control and popularity of that model. As that seems to have the most consistent issues of people reporting that I've seen.
[Nexus 6P General] bmoresbest55:
Having the phone in hand, does this seem like an issue? I am not trying to troll or perpetuate a dreaded <insert stupid issue here>-gate. I think with the size of the phone and particular weak point around the power button, this device could end up with a bend. I understand it would some kind of weird situation but we take these things everywhere and do a lot with them. I want to like this device. I hate even having these (ridiculous?) worries. I wish the videos were never made, honestly.
[Nexus 6P General] RidinNerdy:
Well guys check again.. (or to all my OCD brotheres) theres still remaining dots around the finger print scanner and around the camera almost like a cookie cutter... for those that dont really inspect their phones wont see it.. and even the ones that do see it will just throw a case on it and ignore it... not me image me trying to sell this? Whos gonna buy it? No one.. besides that everything else works..... can anyone else check?
[Nexus 6P General] RidinNerdy:
this is from far away.. no one would ever know but i do...[emoji20]
[Nexus 6P General] Pecata:
Nothing like that on mine-I got it yesterday 64GB Aluminum.
[Nexus 6P General] Coderedpl:
My phone so far seems great.

I have not noticed any weirdness in colors, no raised edges, no dots around the camera. Everything seems to be working well so far.

I do have a bit of ocd in me so I know if I caught onto something I'd be bugged by it but so far there hasn't been anything alarming to catch my eye right away, which is good!
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Considering the thousands that have gone out, doubt its that big of an issue.

Same here. Apps I haven't used in hours are still there. Very nice.

Speaker rattle is probably camera as has been stated many times. I'm not shaking my my phone to find out.

I'm guessing nexus protect is tied to SN/ IMEI number. I would contact Google to see if you can move it over.

I don't think it's a problem. No one has posted any bendgate photos from being in their front pocket. I don't condone ever sitting on a phone so I'm not worried about that.

No dots on mine though I'm not sure I would RMA for that. Bigger issues that you get could on replacement device.
[Nexus 6P General] coolguy949:
So are there some of you guys that do not have any pinkness at all to the screen? Mine is flawless other than a slight pink hue I notice on the left edge. Sometimes it feels like my eyes are playing tricks on me and I don't see it. I notice it most during text input where the text field looks a little pink on the left side.
[Nexus 6P General] goffmj:
Sorry, I guess I didn't really go in-depth about my speaker issue. Playing music over 50% volume would cause an annoying rattling noise. I've had what you describe in other phones and it's certainly a different rattle.

As for the Nexus Protect plan, I just got off the phone with a rep and he stated that it is tied to the account you used to purchase the device, so it should work with the replacement device. Though, I do see my old IMEI listed on my plan, so once I actually get the replacement and finish the RMA process, I'll try contacting them again if the new IMEI isn't updated to the plan. Just FYI for anyone in a similar situation.
[Nexus 6P General] Evo_Shift:
I'd for sure return that.
[Nexus 6P General] guardianali:
I think the issue with most of these defects is the batch is coming from.

Being way more in demand then Google and Huawei anticipated, they are scrambling to make more fast as they can. That rush is probably making the quality checks a bit less stringent which is unfortunate. I'd rather wait longer and get a better built phone then a rush job.

I bet anything all the "good" phones are the first batch of nonrushed phones
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Happens in all early batches of phones (and electronic items in general). The future batches will be perfect and have all the glitches and niggles sorted. As usual us early adopters are the ones who suffer.
[Nexus 6P General] brandodoubleg:
Can someone confirm that the screen is not as black as the bezels? This is specifically apparent in a well lit room or outside with the blacks on screen appearing grey even though the pixels are off. Also, has anyone noticed the yellow tint on the screen in direct sunlight from the glass? If you put shade on the screen from your finger or hand, the screen looks great under the shade but is very yellow under direct sun.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
Nope, have no yellowing of the screen and I can't tell where the bezel ends and my screen begins.
[Nexus 6P General] El Daddy:
History of Nexus build quality (According to XDA Members)​

Nexus One: OMGZ a Nexus!

Nexus S: Plastic sucks! Why can't we have metal like Apple!1!

Galaxy Nexus: Plastic still sucks! What about glass like Apple!1!!!1

Nexus 4: Glass sucks! The back is fragile and breaks too easily! Give us plastic Goooooogle!!!!!

Nexus 5: Too light, feels cheap. Crap plastic cracks on sides! Y no Aluminum Google?!?!?!

Nexus 6: Too big. Crappy stickers fall off. How dare they use stickers! Aluminum chassis sucks. WE WANT UNIBODY!!!!

Nexus 6P: Crap aluminum bends with 100+ lbs force!! Stupid paint scrapes off! Dumb plastic insert off by a nanometer!! Screw off Google!!
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
^lol, I can confirm the above descriptive adjectives! :D
[Nexus 6P General] Aridon:
So true.
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
The screen, when off, has a blue tint typical of every AMOLED display device I have owned. When on, and displaying contents, the blacks are as black as you are ever going to get. Take it in a dark room and see for yourself. Compare it an LCD screen and then tell me if the blacks are not better.
[Nexus 6P General] brandodoubleg:
This is my daily driver, I've used the phone at night and I understand that the pixels turn off and thus you get PURE black. I'm talking about when you're using the phone is direct sunlight. If you look at the front of the phone, you can distinctly see where the bezels stop and where the screen starts. Earlier today I was in a truck using my phone and noticed that the nav bar and status bar looked grey rather than black and it appears to me that the gorilla glass has a yellow tint to it itself. I'm not complaining or anything, best phone ever, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
[Nexus 6P General] RPelham:
Pretty true. I hate aluminum phones, I'd actually rather have the glass honestly lol. I felt like the N6 was pretty well constructed. My only 2 complaints were the speaker grills are dust magnets and the stickers.

At least the stickers were a ridiculously easy fix. Just ordered a new back Plate from eBay for 12 bucks, replaced it and am selling the phone now =)
[Nexus 6P General] Orlandogz:
Guys, I'm having a tough time deciding whether to exchange my 6P because of this small dot that allows on my screen

It appears to be dust as the pixels are all good.
[Nexus 6P General] Willdho:
Hmm, I jus pulled my N6P out of the box and there is a dimple in the bevel between the the power button and the edge of the screen... I was hoping this was part of the design but I think I have to initiate a return...
[Nexus 6P General] tech_head:
Funny...

But people complaining about bends should compare it to all the other phones.

iPhone 6 bends at less than 90lbs.
[Nexus 6P General] Confused_Cheese:
That would drive me crazy. I RMA'd my nexus 5 for dust under the screen.
[Nexus 6P General] thephatness:
Anyone else's glass not flat in the upper right? Like to the right of the top speaker. My TGSP won't stick there because of a dent there. Also seen by a few others in another thread. You can spot it in the reflections with the screen off. Just RMA'd as well.
[Nexus 6P General] micmars:
I agree about the Nexus 6...all things considered, it is the only phone I've ever owned where I felt that I could kill a sizable mammal by smashing it in the skull with the device, then pick up the Shamu and proceed to make calls, surf the net, etc.

Really an unexpected but perhaps useful feature.

The 6P, on the other hand, does not at all give such confidence.

#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Nexus 6P General] Orlandogz:
My phone is so perfect, its just that speck of dust that bothers me. It doesn't hurt to RMA it, though I hope that it comes with the quality of build (minus dot)
[Nexus 6P General] stevew84:
I'm actually returning my 6P today when I get home from work. I told myself I'd try it out, and if I didn't like it I'd return and use that money for a Note 5 or Edge +. I already have the Nexus 6 so my flashing urge can still be fulfilled.

Something about how it feels in the had is...cheap? I don't know how else to explain it. My wife said it felt like one of the display phones at a cell phone shop, I don't know how to explain it.

Either way, just not happy with the device, the Nexus 6 is a much better device in my opinion in just about every aspect. I'll give Samsung a try and if that doesn't work out, I'll just keep my Nexus 6 and wait for 2016.
[Nexus 6P General] droidguy22:
Which color 6P you have?
[Nexus 6P General] stevew84:
32gb aluminum. My son has my old HTC M7 which is also aluminum and that device feels 10x more solid than the 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] boynamedstacy:
I know it's just a color but something about the aluminium seems cheaper to me (have all 3 colors). The frost and graphite seem more premium for some reason when holding them. The textures are similar, the aluminum just has an empty tactile feel when rubbing the back. Weird sounding, I know. Maybe it's just me
[Nexus 6P General] stevew84:
The HTC M7, which I'm using as a comparison because it's the only other unibody device I have, feels better in the hand. The 6p feels as if there is a gap between the outer aluminum shell and the internals, if that makes sense? It's made of aluminum, sure, but it feels hollow, for lack of a better word.

With how delicate this thing feels, I can't see myself using it comfortably. I know the Note 5 with a glass back isn't at all better, but I think that glass is probably more durable than this thin aluminum.
[Nexus 6P General] seanzol:
Thankfully I don't seem to have any of the problems pointed out in this thread/on reddit; my device is very solid, albeit a bit thin. It doesn't take away from the solid feeling of the phone, but it definitely feels...different than my 6 which, as someone else pointed out, felt like something you could use as a deadly weapon in a pinch. I almost wish they brought the rest of the body in line with the camera hump and put in a bigger battery. Not that it's lacking in that department either, but more of a "why not?" kind of addition.

Absolutely no flex or clickiness, screen looks great, no raised sections, no scratched camera or backside. 64 GB Aluminium model, ordered on Oct 29th and received this past Tuesday (Nov 3rd). I'm genuinely in love with this device.
[Nexus 6P General] MoeDaddy:
I have a 128 graphite and have zero quality issues.
[Nexus 6P General] Akasa Fox:
Good to hear! It doesn't seem like any 128GB Graphites have reported quality issues yet, so i'm hoping mine looks fine when I get home.
[Nexus 6P General] AlexNJ89:
I have not dropped the phone or anything.

It hasn't even been in the same pocket as my keys and coins!!

Should I RMA this?

Oh ffs not enough posts

imgur.com/a/CYeWv
[Nexus 6P General] stompysan:
I guess I got lucky. 64GB Aluminum. So far, no imperfections like what is listed on this thread. Even already took a fall (about four feet onto tile) with no damage to the aluminum or glass. The only major problem I have is that I 100% do NOT like the DAC and amp in this phone. I have to use an external amp for my SHP9500's. Definitely better than the original N6, but cannot even be compared to devices like the One M8 or the Moto X Pure.
[Nexus 6P General] Akasa Fox:
Quoting myself...

Spoke too soon. Lower grill speaker is almost inaudible when covered at half volume, while upper speaker is loud. Also a pink hue on the upper left corner and lower right corner. 128GB Graphite :(
[Nexus 6P General] pxdx:
Yellow Tint !!

I received my Nexus 6P yesterday which i unboxed today. It has a clear Yellow Tint and difference is clearly visible. I didn't expect such with a high end device like Nexus 6P and highly disappointed.

1st one is Nexus 6P and 2nd one is Oneplus One, difference is clearly visible. Mine is Aluminum 64gb. I have already reported to Flipkart now and awaiting to hear from them. Anyone else who received their device have a similar issue.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B19y1tsgV4a4c0ZfSzZzUXAySzVCeUdBRDV2YUxZYVJLVU9F/view?usp=sharing

1st one is Onplus One, 2nd one is Nexus 6P and 3rd one is Nexus 5. Nexus 6P even on full brightness is Yellow Tinted.
