[Nexus 6P General] crash_194:
I had a similar experience with a poetic case that scratched the finish off multiple corners of my 2013 Nexus 7.

My immediate thought was, was a rubbish finish on a tablet, this isn't going to last 5 minutes. Then a year later after I stopped using the crap case there isn't another bloody mark on the thing! Lol

Ultimately I feel for you, that damage would be driving me up the wall.

I'll certainly be keeping an eye on my 6p to see if this starts happening.
[Nexus 6P General] daniel4653:
Lol. I was thinking of selling this one and purchasing a brand new one because I absolutely love the phone. Does anyone know if the plastic rim is part of the mid frame or which part would have to be replaced?

Looks like this would work.

[Nexus 6P General] nicemsp:
Build quality is horrible on the 6p. I had a 32 GB originally which was absolutely perfect, nothing wrong with it. Returned it to get a 64GB instead as I realized i needed more memory. This was a huge mistake. First 64GB had a buzzing speaker, so RMA attempt 1 had half of the screen pink, second RMA had half of the screen pink AND a buzzing speaker. Never should have returned my original perfect 32GB, I will never find another one like it again :(
[Nexus 6P General] crash_194:
I've been lucky on the speaker front, however my screen was overly pink on the top two thirds when I first had the phone but this has just dispersed and seemingly sorted itself out the more I've used the phone (which might sound a little odd?! Lol).

That plastic cover on the back at the bottom doesn't sit perfectly flush either but I'm not massively OCD about it. It certainly looks within an acceptable tolerance to me and I hadn't even noticed it until I stumbled across this thread.

I haven't different any issue with the plastic lip around the screen either, so far so good!

I still feel this is the best android bang for buck handset around at the moment even if it isn't "perfect".
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Mine is perfect since day one.

Quality,pixels,speakers etc...everything perfect and I have the 32GB version.

I've had 3 friends complain about dead pixels,lousy speakers and quality issues on the 64GB version's which they all got.
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
My 64gb graphite version came with the edge of the screen bulging out of the chasis slightly, right above the power and volume buttons. It's hard to notice unless you look really closely and specifically at that spot. However, this was enough to make it so that the screen wasn't completely flat and made applying a tempered glass screen protector difficult. The right bottom corner wouldn't stick.

Otherwise, I don't have any other complaints.
[Nexus 6P General] crash_194:
I wish I'd had a graphite one but that was another thing I'd read, that the colour can start to come off over time? That's why I went with the tried and tested industrial aluminium look.
[Nexus 6P General] l_stevens:
The fact that there are so many (including me) who have "perfect" ones, and so many with issues, makes me wonder if they have more than one place that they assemble them.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
I hate cases, been using mine naked for 6 months. It's still perfectly mint.

[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
I've had it since December and I haven't noticed any colour coming off. I have a skin on the back though but I don't use a case. So, if any colour is coming off, it would on the sides and I haven't noticed any change.
[Nexus 6P General] daniel4653:
Just a small update on my issues. So i had first contacted Huawei directly since they are the manufacturer and they said they wont cover "cosmetic damages". So i contacted Google Support and provided them the same information and pictures that i presented to Huawei. They decided to help me out and they will be sending me a refurbished device in place of my Nexus 6P. They were a lot kinder and cared more about my situation, compared to Huawei. So if any of you have a similar situation i highly recommend that you contact google support if it was purchased through the Google Store.
[Nexus 6P General] stennett:
After 6 months of use my USB port has become loose, I've only ever used the charger that come with the phone (only type c cable I own). Does anyone know if Google warranty covers the USB port becoming loose have to make sure the cable sits right, otherwise it don't charge.
[Nexus 6P General] Henrock11:
This is why I really liked wireless charging on previous Nexus phones. I rarely used charging cables and kept the USB port like new.

I think they should cover it though.
[Nexus 6P General] crash_194:
Possibly a silly question, but as you have/are only using the original cable, are you sure it isn't the cable as opposed to the connection on the phone?
[Nexus 6P General] stennett:
I'm going to test the the usb c to standard usb cable that come with the phone before I contact Google, just got to dig the box out to find the cable.
[Nexus 6P General] Brookspeffer:
I'm slightly worried about the volume rocker bending since the frame looks pretty thin there.

Also, the plastic piece at the bottom of the back of mine has a small bulge. I didn't really think it was worth returning it over.

I bought the phone through best buy. Should i return it and order from Google just for the better warranty or not worry?
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
Personally, if I had any doubt about an expensive item I'd just purchased, said item would be returned immediately and exchanged for a new one :good:

To take it a step further, if I had any doubts about the integrity of the phone in the future (bending, paint peeling, etc.) I wouldn't even purchase the phone. With that said, I've had my N6P for 6 months and it's in perfect condition :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Brookspeffer:
Good point. I'll probably make the trip to BB today and then order from google. I've thought about returning this and keeping my Moto x pure for the build quality but I'm probably just being a little paranoid.
[Nexus 6P General] cazman420:
I have had this phone for 6 months. The metal at the volume rocker does bend. Mine is bulging. Got Google to warranty it but they said it's.not normally covered because it's cosmetic. Declined getting replacement because it was going to be a refurbished phone. Rather keep my newish phone. Never even new it was bulging till I took the cover off.
[Nexus 6P General] Brookspeffer:
That's a bummer. I take care of my phones but I'm only worried that this one might be particularly hard to take care of. Also, I wear skinny jeans.

I've had mine for 7 months now. No case. Front right pocket by itself. Definitely have put some stress on it time to time bending over and such. It's still perfectly mint.

[Nexus 6P General] krazy_smokezalot:
It will bend eventually mine last 2 months before it bent never dropped or not even 1 scratch on the body mint condition could pass it as NEW. Bent after 2 month by the volume rocker. But since I'm a repair tech I bought some hold black n white housing cause I knew of this problem, but yeah eventually it will happen but still an awesome phone IMO
[Nexus 6P General] faybarn:
I've already noticed paint flecking off after a month and always in a case :(
[Nexus 6P General] Lambetts:
I have one question. I have a 32gb version silver. Seems ok at the moment. Few things and I don't know if it's me or not. When I have the phone in landscape mode one way the speakers are even and the other they aren't. Slightly more to the left. So weird as if it was a low speaker it wouldn't be right the other way haha. Also the notification light looks like it has like a speck of dirt on it or a dead pixel, if it's made of pixels. I feel the notification light is a small screen with a circle blacked out.

Any comments?

Thanks guys.
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
I disagree. I have had two since last November, first one sent back two months ago for stuck Gyroscope (before I found about giving it a thump) No bend, flakes, pink hues, etc.
[Nexus 6P General] IIEtCII:
Guys what's the best way to prevent bending the phone? I saw people saying that using a cover might help and others say that they bent the phone with a cover on it .

Im kinda lost here .. i have spigen rugged armor but I don't think it'll add rigidity to the phone, specially in the volume rocker and power button area.
[Nexus 6P General] maurico0o:
Just use it ;). No need to worry, got it for 5 months now, used the soft google store case occasionally when drinking (thats when the drops might occur). But it is totally fine, no issues whatsoever.
[Nexus 6P General] pist0lpete:
You can add my name to the list of people with bent phone. Have had Spigen a case since day 1 and a tg screen protector since the first week. I first noticed the bulge near the power button then for a test I took the case off and laid the phone on a granite counter screen side down and I can see the curve the screen now has because the case is bent.

I don't completely baby phones but I don't abuse them either. I must say this is disappointing for a 2 month old phone.
[Nexus 6P General] JUSTINMARMER:
I've had mine for about 3 months now. It's been in a Unicorn Beetle case for all but 1 week. No bends. No issues.

It has been more than a month I have been using this phone.

Performance: top notch

Updates: well, it is Nexus. So...

Build Quality: Screen and metallic piece is no doubt quite good. The only complaint I have is with the chamfered edges. Even after using the phone with utmost care along with the Huawei case that came with the phone, there has been quite a few noticeable bruises and cuts that has removed the chamfered coating in some places. It is visible to the naked eye. I had hoped this wouldn't be a problem since my previous phone (Htc One M8) had fantastic chamfered coating which didn't get removed even after 2 years of use.
[Nexus 6P General] Closed Source Project:
I've had no real issues with my Nexus. I've been using my device for 3 months.

- Screen is great, just as good as all the other AMOLED screens I've used from Samsung. I have one decent scratch on the screen which is a first ever for any of my phones. But then again, I don't use a screen protector so I guess it's bound to happen...

- Almost always in a case so I have no scratches on the body.

- Front firing speakers are amazing, no distortion and I haven't had an issue with the speaker grill coming off (see the next item in this list for a durability report).

- I got really mad at my GF one day and threw my phone at my desk. There was a slight bend on the metal chassis by the power button however I was able to bend it back into position. It's now flat again. Just figured I'd mention :p

Overall this is a great, beautiful phone with a great design and top of the line software. Would recommend to anyone!
[Nexus 6P General] hibby50:
Just wanna contribute to this thread again, I am sending back my nexus 6p that I received on the release date for a replacement (so thats 8 months build date 10/29) . There are no bends or bulges, it was kept in a case and my pocket the whole time. I cannot see any paint chips aside from under the usb port. There were never any problems with it when I got it, however looking at it side by side with the new one it appears mine had some pink tint. It is being sent back because the speakers became terribly distorted.

The new one has a build date of 2-29, I've checked for all the common issues and found none (no plastic bulge, no volume bulge, no tinting, no screen warm spots, speakers are equal volume, oleophilic coating, if im missing something let me know). I am very anal about my possessions (cars phones computers etc) and can point out scratches on my car from memory lol so I was pretty thorough checking.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
Anyone expirienced top speaker distortion at max volume? Its only noticible on full volume, wonder if its common issue and if its worth rma. Other than that phone is really solid, i use no cases, no bending or stuff like that, screen is even and awesome.
[Nexus 6P General] joejoe23:
Same here , the top speaker at full volume distorts a bit . When I watch a movie trailer or a video with someone talking on landscape , when the top speaker is on my left , the sound do have a bit of distortion . when I flipped it over , now the bottom speaker is on my left and the sound of the voice coming from the left side seems better .

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

I recently bought the spigen rugged armor and been using it for the past one week . I took my phone out to clean a bit and there it is , the bend/kink beside the volume down . I know it wasn't there before I use the case . But somehow I don't think the case does it. Really don't know how it can bend there.
[Nexus 6P General] Michalko5896:
Build quality of mine is AWESOME!

I'm not using any screen protector or case, I'm carrying it in my (pretty tight) front pocket with keys, coins, usb drives and sometimes a second phone since January. Phone suffered many drops on a pavement, a floor etc.. and I'm hitting it with my mouse few times a day during gaming. It is not bend, buttons are perfectly straight and neither front or back glass are scratched, just some minor scratches on a sides. As far as build quality goes, Nexus 6P is perfect..
[Nexus 6P General] Brookspeffer:
I cringed.

I could never throw my phone if I was mad! I go for less expensive things like remotes or a book haha.

Throwing my phone when angry = tearing up 100$ bills when angry
[Nexus 6P General] FuMMoD:
What is the quality of the rma? I have the kink by volume buttons and my gps has been acting up. I have no scratches on my screen or camera. Phone has been babied since day one with a tempered glass screen protector and different cases. Only leaves the case for cleaning or to such cases. I have no scuffs either and a slight pink hue in the bottom left. I'm worried about getting something scuffed up lol.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
Many times, especially with brand new expedited straight from the factory to you fast phones can exhibit that yellow due to adhesive on the panel. I don't think "super AMOLED" suffers from this but I could be wrong. I think it takes about a week for the adhesive to completely cure clearly.

I haven't noticed any problems with mine yet. I've only had it two days but everything seems fine.

And for people worried, remember that a good amount of reviews come from people with problems. Most people that are happy don't check out these types of threads or say anything.

Anyway, it sounds like Google is good with helping those with defective devices. I've seen a lot of people say they got a replacement the next day.
[Nexus 6P General] bmoresbest55:
Yeah that makes sense too. People who do have problems don't seem to have issue sending it back to Google. Which is good by Google to be so quick to fix issues. That was my last concern. Probably buying this phone within the week.
[Nexus 6P General] stuff:
I really wonder how unlucky people are.

I bought 2 Nexus 6P's, both sublime in build quality.

I had a Nexus 6, the one issue I ever had was the NEXUS taped pieces eventually came off, simply due to wear and heat.

I had a Nexus 5, never a single issue. I had a Nexus 4, same; no issues. Nexus S, and a Nexus One. Aside from cracking my Nexus One screen and having to replace it, no issues.

I've owned a Galaxy S 3, 4, and 5. Never had a problem.

(Every device listed above was purchased as soon as possible, and was one of the first batches to receive).

These QC issues happen, there is not going to be a 100% perfect device build quality. But, you have to keep in mind that you're LOOKING for device issues on YouTube, Google, etc, the only results you will see are negative results. This is not the indication of the quality control of the device.
[Nexus 6P General] nrfitchett4:
I think some people are just pickier than others. I've only replaced one device (Thunderbolt) because of overheating issues. Still have a touch pro 2 and HD2 sitting around here somewhere that still boot.
[Nexus 6P General] housry23:
How quickly is your replacement coming? You got a Nexus 5X too. You plan on doing a comparison? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Over the years we've had very similar tastes in phones. You saved my M7 and M8 with the gpe conversion too!
[Nexus 6P General] crowsnestitsupport:
I got the aluminum 32gb and 64gb and both were perfect! No complaints. I will say that compared to the nexus 6 which I also have, the display on the 6p is not as good. Nexus 6 has nicer blacks by far. Also noticed that after one day of use I have a deep scratch the whole way across the screen... No idea how it got there:( can easily feel it with my finger nails. Otherwise I love it so far! Really loud speakers compared to my htc m9 but not quite the sound quality.

BTW, also have 2 5x's. They are sweet little phones, very light in the hand, but don't feel flimsy.. Biggest thing I noticed on them was the screen, compared to my M9, nexus 6 and 6p it was really bad.. Reminds me of my s2 screen from way back.. It runs fast, I'd say as fast as my 6p and gets fantastic battery life.. 6am to 10pm no problem.
[Nexus 6P General] cammykool:
I hear Google wants to put another hold on your card when doing a RMA. Is this true? If so I hope mine arrived perfect or I can't fix it...

[Nexus 6P General] CandyAndy:
People with the graphite one, do you get it scratched easily? I don't like to wear any cases and I have ordered the graphite one so I am a bit worried
[Nexus 6P General] joshuadjohnson22:
They really are 2 different beasts. The V10 and pros and cons. For example, the screen and camera are amazing. But it has skinned android and slow updates. Also development on the G4 has been... horrible... so expect the same, especially if it is a carrier locked version *cough Verizon and AT&T* . It is also more expensive in the states. With LG phone after a few months that always drops.... fast. So I would recommend waiting a bit before purchasing so you get the discounted rate. I would also recommend buying the unlocked version. I've also heard the fingerprint sensor isn't as responsive and the speaker is one of the lowest sounding on the market.

The Nexus is a nexus. It will always have development, easily unlockable and quick updates. It's specs are pretty awesome and it would be nice. Fingerprint sensor is more responsive and you'll get stereo speakers.

Either way you'll get a good phone. I'm over skinned android. Sure it give better features at times but it sure has a lot of issues and slow updates. I'm also done with carrier ruined devices.
[Nexus 6P General] bmoresbest55:
What would you say about the AOMLED burn in issue? Is it something to be generally worried about?
[Nexus 6P General] crowsnestitsupport:
My nexus 6 is a year old now and I have zero issues.. It's still the best display of all my phones including the 6p, 5x and m9.
[Nexus 6P General] bmoresbest55:
That is interesting. All the reviews I have seen say that the 6p is best but that the 6 is close.
[Nexus 6P General] crowsnestitsupport:
I know:) on both my 6p's the whites are too yellow to be better than my nexus 6.:(

I do have photo comparisons over on the 5x build quailty forum. Comparing the n6, 6p, 5x and m9.

I switched to sRGB in developer setting almost as soon as I got mine I love the display. Any sense of it being 'washed out' goes quickly and you soon get used to the more natural balance.
[Nexus 6P General] stuff:
Again, I've gotten the first batch of every Nexus device, and most Galaxy S devices. Not ONCE have I had an issue.

I personally think the issues are less than what it appears.

I am just amazed at how people are afraid of getting a defective device. Your chances are very, very slim. And if you do, Google will send you a new replacement within a day for you to send back the defective unit.
[Nexus 6P General] aygul12345:
Yeah I wanna get always unlocked phone. But what GB do you recommend it for me? Can you tell me how much GB you have if you forexample take the 64 GB? Do you have then 60 GB on the device? How much GB take the OS?

Send with the App Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] stuff:
I cannot recommend a size for you. You are different than I.

What I will say is that a 32GB storage capacity is well over plenty for me. I'm in a fully covered LTE location, with the "unlimited" AT&T data (which throttles you at 22GB). So everything I do is streamed. Movies, music, etc.

Also the reason why it may have less space than it says (say 64GB) is because the storage capacity is rated in powers of 1000, not 1024. And then some OS space.
[Nexus 6P General] akellar:
Of course they do. They aren't going to send you a device and take the chance you just keep both and not have a way to charge you for it.

My 6p is close to perfect so I'm not going to play the lotto. Screen doesn't have pink tint and no signs of image retention yet, no creaky back or rattling inside the phone. Overall I love it just as much as I love my Nexus 6. Only issue I have that isn't a big deal to me is the plastic on the bottom is a little lower in one area. You can't really notice it at all unless you run your finger over it. I will be using a case so no big deal to me.
[Nexus 6P General] threshfire:
FYI, just read a post on Reddit recommending to check on speaker quality - seems like some have one speaker louder than the other. I don't have my 6P yet to double check, unfortunately.

Both my 6 and 6p were in perfect condition. But my 6p is leaps and bounds better in every way
[Nexus 6P General] Logi23:
Anyone else try tapping the upper right corner of the device and hear a "rattling" if you want to call it that. Only heard when I tap that part of the device, other than that everything seems to be great.

Edit: I am guessing that is the speaker rattling; but doesn't seem to really affect anything else. Dunno if I want to play a crap shoot and try for another with everything else seeming to be mint.

It's the camera. It does this on every phone.
