[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] remiks3:
The more I use this phone, the more I realize how amazing it really is. I have had android phones all my life... everything from the first android phone (HTC G1) to my most recent phone, Galaxy S4. When I was shopping, it was between the S7, 6P, and LG G5. My biggest gripe with the S4 was the stupid bloatware that was included with the phone and all the Samsung apps that you could not uninstall. This is the reason I crossed S7 off my list. Then I looked into the LG G5, but same thing, it has a bunch of LG bloatware. I also don't like that the power button is on the back. The removable battery and microSD slot is nice to have but not necessary IMO.

So I went with the 6P 64GB since I do not want to have issues with storage later on. I can't comment on durability as i've had it for a week but it really is a beautiful phone. I think that JerryRigEverything guy who snapped the phone in two is a complete moron. I can't think of any situation where the phone would undergo that kind of beating. My personal pros and cons below:

Pros

- The fingerprint sensor is super quick

- Processor is really fast. No lag in switching between apps

- Has special developer features which are not available in other phones

- Battery life is amazing. Doze feature really helps

- Phone charges SUPER fast

- Apparently you can use the phone to charge other phones and vice versa with the double-sided USB type C cable

- Front speakers on top and bottom are loud and clear

- One of the first phones to get google updates

- NO bloatware. Only google-related apps, which you can always uninstall safely. Most google apps included on the phone are useful anyways

Cons

- No removable battery, could be an issue later on. Battery life degrades over time

- No microSD slot, need to monitor storage eventually. Use ES file explorer

- No gallery app, google photos sucks

I haven't used other new android phones with Marshmallow so I can't comment on that but I love the 6P. Since I keep my phones for at least 3 years, I'm hoping the battery life and storage don't become an issue later on!

Terrible Bluetooth Issues

I want to like the Nexus 6P. Unfortunately, it has serious connectivity issues with Bluetooth devices that make it impossible to keep this phone.

From the beginning my 6P would not maintain a connection to either my Pebble Watch nor the Alpine stereo in my car. This is what happens:

Watch: I boot up my phone and pair the phone with the watch. They pair successfully and notifications, etc., all work fine. Then, some random time later - sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours - they disconnect. It is impossible to reconnect them unless I unpair the two devices, restart the phone and then repair them. Of course, the same thing occurs over and over.

Car Stereo: I boot up my phone and pair the phone with the car stereo. They pair successfully and hands-free calls, controlling the phone through the stereo, etc., all work fine. Then, again, at some random amount of time later, and usually in the middle of a phone call, the Bluetooth disconnects. The call does not get hung up, it just stops working through the Bluetooth. I then have to take my hands off the steering wheel, grab up the phone, and continue my call with the phone in my hand. Dangerous and against the law in my state.

My wife owns a Samsung Note 4 and we have tried pairing both the watch and car stereo with her phone. The pairing goes fine and the Bluetooth works flawlessly.

There are several threads online that have many 6P owners complaining about similar Bluetooth connectivity issues. They have offered many suggestions about how to fix this problem. None have worked. They often recommend waiting for the next update from Google to fix the problem. No fix has been forthcoming. I returned my phone a couple of weeks ago and received a refurbished replacement from Google. Without installing any applications, other than the latest updates for the OS and installing the application that controls the Pebble Watch, I tried the Bluetooth. Guess what? The exact same thing.

Like I said in the beginning, I really wanted to like this phone.

I am really disappointed Google.

Are people confused about the title of this thread? You want to whine, then start a whiners threads. Or better yet, start a thread that will work to fix the issue.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] remiks3:
I've gotta say, the phone charges pretty fast even on a generic charger with the tronsmart microUSB to USB C adapter...
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] zrilman:
9/10 If there would be SD card support it would easily be 10/10 :)
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] eksasol:
Well unfortunately there will never be a 10/10 Nexus for you in future in that case. However it's not long until we have 1TB phones.

tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Gizmoe:
For sure. With new tech and cloud storage SD will become obsolete.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] zrilman:
I know,that's the only thing we all hate on the Nexus devices i think.

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Olddog828:
Just starting with little choice but still about a week into the release so not bad so far. Can't wait for another month or so
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] tele_jas:
Quicker than almost any other!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] hachem28:
Well, this is a Nexus device, need i say more?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] puritan007:
There are starting to be more and more, but even at the start we had two or three of the communities best. Very very nice.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] pr0cl1v1ty:
This.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] DespairFactor:
We've got flar2, franco, imoseyon, I think AK got one too. Then ROM side zephiK and Beanstown106.

These are all notable mentions
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] MohamedEhabHalim:
OK

Ok:good:
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] PaulDnoOb:
It's not that "healthy" for the following reason:

a. the device is just almost 4 months old

b. not all dev's afford the device (but the price is better thank other)

c. too many optimization and changes needed for some ROMs
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Axiom1986:
That's right to have better view in this subject we should wait a little bit.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] android4life92:
It's amazing compared to samsung devices etc
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Pain-N-Panic:
I don't know about you guys but I'm VERY pleased with the performance of stock 6.0.1 and stock kernal. For tweaks and mods, Xposed is utilized. Haven't though about flashing a different ROM since I got the phone two weeks ago. I'm sure that'll change here shortly though lol
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] android4life92:
Lol on my first day with this phone ive tried every rom haha. I'm back to stock with custom kernel.it flies:)
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Devhux:
I'm using Cataclysm with Franco kernel, but thought of going stock + franco + Xposed to give me some of the things Cataclysm has.

Not sure.....
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Abaddon:
its starting to blossom tho its too early to tell
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] oussamalabbize:
Thx to all developers, I tried the stock firmware for about a week, then I tried PureNexus with ElementalX kernel, really amazing.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Einwod:
Loving every minute with this device.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] poolparty:
me too, best Android phone I've had
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] rchtk:
That was actually the main criteria that made me buy this device, which didn't have the best perf/price ratio.

And now I'm not seeing so much skilled devs or ROM for the device so that's actually scaring me a bit. Could be due to holidays or because N was released but not all of its sour ce code.

For all the rest (incl. stock ROM..) I'm very pleased.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] hutzdani:
What ? there are tonnes of well known dev's supporting the 6P, the thing is people just don't crack flash as much as they used to and with the decline of CM and Paranoid and the rise of Xposed there is little reason to flash or build fully tricked out roms.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] oussamalabbize:
Nevermind, he's french, always complaining, that's what french people do ! :P (Humour hein)
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] SixFootPigeon:
This is one of the best phones I have ever owned. I am definitely a power user and my only real complaint is the lower battery life than I would like. Then again the only phone to ever satisfy me was a droid turbo with a 2 day battery life. So all things considered this is a wonderful choice for a power user.

The community is wonderful, definitely one of the best. But I do miss the days of my Galaxy Nexus when I had access to multiple different OS's like putting Ubuntu, Palm, Ubuntu Touch, and stuff like that. It was never functional but the community had a lot of options even if you just wanted to try them for a day. By contrast most of the great stuff here is Stock or based on Stock. And thats wonderful don't get me wrong, they do great work I just miss the flashoholic rush I used to get.

tl;dr Great phone for power user. Highly rated community. Maybe consider waiting to at least see what the next Nexus (Pixel) phone will be like first, allegedly releasing on October 5th.

[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] iMehran:
Nice info , it used for me .
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] fingerprinted:
I don't get it
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] vanisher:
I don't get it either, but I will say this phone is one of the fastest I've ever used in day to day usage. I came from a Galaxy S6 128gb and this device is a constant smooth experience. Jank and constant app reloads is what killed the S6 for me.

Hangouts is responsive and smooth... I think that says it all.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] tele_jas:
Faster than the OnePlus2, which has the same processor and more RAM... Not near as laggy.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] radeon962:
No lags, no hiccups, just pure unadulterated speed.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] fingerprinted:
What do you mean - Justin Bieber
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] deeproot:
fast for me. faster than the tears when watchin a nicholas sparks movie.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] dirtyuzbek:
This phone flies.

Granted im coming from a galaxy S3, but still, this phone is awesome
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] BerryAl:
Yeah I've had absolutely 0 times where this phone has hung/frozen/janked/Etc.

Think that's all I need to say really. Also, multitasking works great and apps don't constantly have to refresh. Benchmarks are completely pointless and it amazes me that people still think they're important on smartphones. Especially when the Samsung phones all blow this out the water with their crazy antutu scores, yet people still claim this phone is faster and less often freezes up or hangs.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] puritan007:
It is very fast, it does clock down when hot, but that is a good thing.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] ChronoReverse:
In normal usage the heat is low and the phone flies but even only somewhat intensive games definitely heat up the phone faster and the framerate suffers.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] phistyle:
the phone feels fast as hell after it boots up, but after awhile when you start opening up a bunch of stuff and its still in ur task manager.. things start slowing down a lot
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] fingerprinted:
WHAT !?! - Lil John
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] lqaddict:
The phone is fast, but it is not without some issues.

In particular, I have some bluetooth issues - the phone randomly disconnects from my car's BT, and only a reboot would fix it.

I used Nexus 5, Moto X 2nd gen, and Moto X Pure previously in the same car, and had no issues.

Hoping it is software related, and the "fix" is on the way.

BTW, tried two Nexus 6P's and the same results with BT
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] XavierD8188:
My first Nexus phone and I might never switch from the Nexus line going forward. I've had it for almost a month now (received mine Oct 27th) and I still haven't had one hiccup or stutter. This phone is a champ and prob the most consistent performing phone I've had to date..
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] indianajonze:
can't get any faster currently
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] PatSend:
Nothing to add, fastest device I had so far. Very snappy, no lags.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Dissmeister:
Boot and shutdown is a little slower than others, say GS6, but everything else is perfect. Doesnt skip a beat.

First phone that didnt stutter when you swipe left to Google now in the launcher (just checked it out before I switched to Nova, lol).
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Leica MP:
fast enough for me
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] revoman:
The phone has bee super snappy for the most part. I can't believe how much better it is when compared to my Galaxy S6 Edge. However, I do find some oddities when using the power-save mode. hen in power-save mode (that is when my battery hits 10%) if I open a new link in Chrome the page renders, but I am unable to scroll for up to 10 seconds. Also, the phone app gets funky in power-save.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Crakinarse:
This is the fastest phone I have ever owned. Coming from a GS5 it is screaming fast.

All phones seem fast at first, then start crawling for some unknown reason. Random lagging, etc.

This phone has been consistently fast and I love it.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] fingerprinted:
Yes it can
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] guitar1238751:
The phone is blazing fast. It hands down one of the most powerful phones in the market right now. No lag with heavy gaming with GTA and Asphalt 8 even with lots of apps open. Obviously if you have a ridiculous amount of apps open the phone will slow down a little but as long as you close apps you aren't using its all good. As a daily driver, this phone is blazing fast.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Ermac-911:
Nice info , it used for me .
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] callidusnomine:
Looking forward to getting this phone after using my iPhone 5S which gets frame drops pulling down the search bar on the homescreen.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] D47x:
Probably the speediest phone I've ever used, so far at least
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Manpreet-Singh:
I think its one of the best smartphone which comes up with Android operating system and free from any issues like heat, switch off and hanging etc.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] strictlyphat:
Mines coming today! Can't freaking wait. Loved my nexus 6 but cracked screen.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Syfer198754354:
Thanks for the info!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] debug77:
Excellent. Very quick.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] tech_head:
I'd give it a 5 but when it finally throttles it's bad.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] I_android:
overall its awesome.... however when I play Temple Run 2 on Frozen Shadows map... after first long run 10-15KM...in next run it starts dropping frames... and that too constantly... however if i switch to original Map of the game all works just awesome.... I don't know where is the problem ... phone or game???
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] I_android:
ok... this happens when I change visual effects to best in settings...
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] sayboon:
For day to day stuff, the phone is brilliant! Performs like a champ but... when it comes to gaming, it thermal throttles the crap out of the phone. From an 8 core CPU running at 1555mhz (low freq cores) and 1958 (high freq cores), it is reduced to 960mhz (low freq cores) and all 4 cores offline for high freq.

My question is, what's the point with all this power when it can't hold up for more than 3 minutes?
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Pain-N-Panic:
So far this is the smoothest/fastest Android experience I have had!
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] diegogero:
mine lags only with temple run 2
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] vision33r:
I've had the Nexus 6P for about a month and sold it. It's a good phone overall but for me I always find vanilla Android experience to be downside vs other flagship phones with a custom rom. Nexus 6P rarely ever slows down but it takes me longer to accomplish certain simple tasks without a customized rom. I also missed having a micro-SD a lot when taking pics and videos I really prefer popping out the card and importing directly into my PC. So I sold the Nexus 6P and got a cheap BLU Pure XL which is 6" and has micro-SD card.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] axelbecerra7942:
Not bad
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] handerson8816:
Me either
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] sufedo:
I read the comments and I'm thinking about to buy it or not...
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] lpsoldier301:
Phone can lag to open and switch between apps. I would give it a 3.5 if I could.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] FiDuS80:
Exactly the same here!!! Still have booth phones, but the difference in day to day use is huge! 6p is faster, smoother... etc
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] marvi0:
I agree had a samsung galaxy s6 edge, note 5 and both cannot be compared to the smoothness of the nexus 6p. It's utterly totally smooth.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Rippley05:
It's definitely smooth compared to anything Samsung. I have a Note 5 and an S6 on my nightstand, I've had plenty of use.

The Nexus is Not without lag or stuttering tho, it isn't often..but it's there. Still, it's a great phone.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] papaluigi:
Never had a phone this fast and responsive before, it's excellent. I don't think anything comes close to the Nexus 6P's performance and smoothness right now. But that's also a consequence of Marshmallow being really polished.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] bryce850:
0 lag here, now my work phone is a iPhone 6 and it lags stutters and needs daily reboots it's a POS lol
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Trueray:
Smoothest Android device to date. I'm sure if I go in developer settings and lower the animations to .5 it would be even better.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] DudeThatsErin:
Apps open really fast. It is only when you have TONS of apps bogging down the memory of the device that you start getting issues but that is easily fixed by closing them. :)
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] MasterTB:
Running stock android and the phone does not lag or stutter, multitasking is good and performance is stable
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] JayantSparda:
I've switched my S6 for a 6P and even though the phone is a bit too big for my hands, the smoothness of the 6P beats the s#@t out of a S6.

The 6p is at least super responsive and the finger print scanner is way faster and more accurate then the S6.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] kristiangmez:
it just buttery smooth... I love it
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] poolparty:
Literally zero stalls yet (6 months use)
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] limping_lama:
Possibly I have a lemon then?

I get frequent stalls - not just the desktop stuttering between pages but actual apps locking. In the last two weeks I have had the phone reboot twice - just using it normally, the phone locked with screen on and no buttons swiping did anything then it rebooted. Once in youtube and another time reading a website. I often have trouble loading the camera, it takes ages or just doesnt load at all and ends up at the desktop again. I have the 64gb version and its still got over 17gb free so space shouldnt be an issue. I dont see this phone being buttery smooth at all. I see it lag, stutter and fail to load apps often. It also has frequent miss-touch results where I hit a key on the keyboard or the dock and it displays the wrong letter or a letter that is the long press version of it even after I barely touch the screen in a quick tap.

I have not done a complete reset since getting official nougat but I also dont see why I should have to do that either. Android is more than mature enough as an OS to not require the user to do factory resets on updates or at least google should do them as part of the update if its required.

Anyway - just wanted to ask if anyone else has seen the phone have stutter / camera / app mistouch issues?

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

mostly its fine - but camera app frequently has issues loading and the phone can have very laggy periods as well. I wouldnt call this buttery smooth - but this could be an issue with my unit.

I just unlock Dev options and turn down the animation speeds as much as you want for a snappier response time.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] Prey521:
I wish that game developers would optimize games for Android like they do for iOS. Take Angry Birds 2 and Deer Hunter 2016 for instance, those 2 games open lightning fast on iOS, but on the 6p, there's a noticeable delay when it's loading for the first time.
[Nexus 6P Real Life Review] theGeekyLad:
Upgrading to 7.x Android N will make a difference. The Just-In-Time compiler optimises app code and minimises delay.

Apps are claimed to install / load 75% faster.

I'm already running Nougat and the iPhone still smokes the 6p and the Pixel at opening games.

Extremely satisfied with the app launch speed of my 6P. Apps launch very quickly and in app performance is top notch. Phone restarts offer significant boost in performance if you haven't restarted it for a month or 2. It's still not noticeable in daily use.
