Not bent, twisted, when you see one in public be nice to the person owning it and make small talk, usually these people had to order them which means they know a thing or two about phones I tell them that mine it twisted and ask to see theirs they have all showed them to me and when you lie it flat and look at the upper left corner you will usually (in my case always so far) find that the screen is separating because the premium looking shell is warped/twisted. It's subtle so most don't even know it's happening. That's why I have said the kinks are dramatic, but I bet most people have twists and don't know it.

Never met but I had two and none of mine bent. Well, not yet at least. Two guys I know personally have one each and none of them have a bent one. Mine will be staying in a tough case though. Don't like scratched, damaged devices.

Well since I bought my 64gb nexus 6p gold off newegg I have to go through huawei. It has a kink near the power button. Talked to a rep who had me email pictures and proof of purchase. Now I gotta wait 24-48 hours for them to decide what's next? Has anybody tried to go through huawei ? Any luck?
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
Did you have it in your back pocket and sat down on it?
[Nexus 6P General] ILuvRice:
I have to chime in and say it's definitely a manufacturing issue. I have a 64gb that has a slight protrusion in between the power and volume buttons. Called Google and the lady I talked to did not acknowledge the issue but I described it to her and she kept asking if I had an issue with the power button, which I did from the bend I believe. They sent me another one. What I find interesting is the replacement feels lighter. I'm gonna weigh them because it's could be me but I had my wife hold them and asked her and without telling her which was which, she also pointed out the replacement felt lighter.i do not sit with my phone in back pocket and strongly believe that removing a tpu case will cause this bend and even if it did, I wouldn't want a phone built like that. I have had too many phones and have never seen this
[Nexus 6P General] Deekayy:
It still boggles my mind on how these phones are getting bent when cases are being removed from the phone. I remove my TPU case every month to clean the dust and I see no bent issues. Probably because I use the opposite side and not the power button side to remove the case.
[Nexus 6P General] ILuvRice:
I don't use the power side either, I don't understand why so many people don't want to believe that it's the manufacture and want to believe that everyone who has it must be using the exact same motion to get the bend in the exact spot. I'm not mad. It's still a great phone but even if it did bend because of me, I would still think it's unacceptable because I have never owned a phone that bends and I have had pretty much every flag ship phone out.
[Nexus 6P General] otariq:
Just putting in my 2 cents. I had two different Nexus 6p's. I bought one during the extended return period and used it the entire time almost naked and never had an issue. I actually loved it but I also wanted to try the moto at the time so I returned it. Ended up not liking the moto so I went back to the Nexus right before leaving for winter break. I decided to buy a diztronic case and during the 2 week period I dropped it once with the case. It landed flat on the back and a few days later I removed the case to clean it and there was a visible bend between the power and volume buttons. I have a feeling it was from the drop and not the fact that I removed the tpu case. Those whose phone bent with the case, did you ever drop it?
[Nexus 6P General] myasstse:
I have the same problem too but i am from Hong Kong how can i return it back to google and get a new one ? Thx??
[Nexus 6P General] N0MA:
if you did not sign up for nexus protect u can't
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
So you decided to keep the original and pay for the replacement?
[Nexus 6P General] ILuvRice:
I'm going through warranty so hopefully I won't have to pay. I have to send back old one and they will determine if I will pay for replacement.
[Nexus 6P General] N0MA:
i hope this year's 6p will be built with higher-end materials
[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
Well it's happened to me too. I have the tiniest bend in the frame on the screen side of the power button, just noticed it today. I've always taken very good care of my phone. Now I have to figure out if I want to live with it or gamble on a refurb.
[Nexus 6P General] jal3223:
Have you thought about trying to change the housing yourself? A guy on Reddit went through the process and said that it wasn't bad at all. If I ever have to try to change it myself, I thought about seeing if it was possible to possibly add some stability to the inside of the back casing to see if it would help with the rigidity.

I know it is not ideal to try and work on it yourself but it is like playing the lottery when trying to find a uniform screen that doesn't have pink tones. I finally got my hands on one and have decided to do my own repairs if I develop any problems so that I don't have to go through all the searching again.
[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
At the moment it's only a small deformation so I don't think it's worth repairing myself. I'm also hesitant to have it replaced because I've been through a few of these trying to get one that didn't have major tinting issues on the display. This one isn't perfect but after eight replacements I gave up on the tint lottery.
[Nexus 6P General] funcrusher:
Yeah, I went through 3 with horribly uneven screens before I got one that's close enough to perfect. I've been having intermittent 'no SIM card' issues and now I'm getting a replacement. I'm nervous.
[Nexus 6P General] paniro187:
I had to call them back and they ended up telling me that mine is a user error. It's a tiny kink over the volume down button
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
I do feel for those who have to deal with Huawei directly. I have not read a good experience from anyone yet. It's a shame.
[Nexus 6P General] tommyjames1992:
yeah thats what they told me too. can't get it replaced unless something hardware wise stops working. mine isn't too bad to be honest. im just more careful now. and my case hides it. i love the phone but i am done with the oem. no more devices from them. utter **** customer service.
[Nexus 6P General] jal3223:
Did they say that they would repair it for a fee?
[Nexus 6P General] OhayouBaka:
I've owned my Nexus 6P for about a month now and no sign of any bending so far, let's hope it stays that way!
[Nexus 6P General] bash156:
Mines got a slight bend from being in my rucksack, my fault just wanted to know does the screen bend too or is it just the housing because I'm thinking of just replacing the rear cover
[Nexus 6P General] daniel4653:
I tried to contact Huawei first due to the plastic rim around the phone began to break off. And they said they dont cover "cosmetic damages". The phone has never been dropped and was always in a case. You can check the discussion about this on the quality thread in the general section. Anyways ivr contacted Google now since that's where the phone was purchased from and they are going to give me a call to see what they can do for me, of anything. Which is more than Huawei when they flat out told me no sorry we can help you at all.
[Nexus 6P General] snorkel01:
I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and have had it in my front pocket while mowing the lawn and doing heavy landscaping work and it has not bent at all.

Just a FYI, I did order a new rear housing complete with camera glass,power/volume buttons and the bottom antenna cover plate for 28 dollars shipped from china. For those of you that have bends you could easily repair it by getting a new rear housing. As long as the screen is not cracked you could easily repair it this way.

If you have new camera glass it's really not difficult to repair this phone.

I have taken my TPU case off and on a 100 times and no issues at all.

It's extremely unlikely these bends are caused by a case (my opinion only). I could see the type of bend on your phone as being caused by something inside swelling like the battery?

Mine was manufactured at the end of March 2016 and seems very solid and heavy so it is possible they have done some kind of internal revision.
[Nexus 6P General] stankyou:
Our phone heats up a bit.. that can make the frame lose its rigidity. Its possible then to make it bend if you have it on your pocket when its warm enough I guess..

[Nexus 6P General] mattwheat:
I've had my 6p for about 2 months now and I keep it in a $5 TPU case from Amazon. Ive dropped it maybe 10-15 times from just below waist level ( 36 inches or so ) and I know at least twice from stomach height (48 inches or more ). And a good majority of the times I've noticed when trying to reach to catch it , and missed, that it landed on one of the corners in the vertical position. Yet still no cracks, dents, or even scratches any where on it. So far , for me that is , it seems to be as tough as my LG G-Flex was. Man that thing took a beating, I used to show off how tough it was by tossing it 6-8 feet away to land on tile, concrete, or carpet. While in its case of course. Never broke that G-Flex from impact. Hopefully this N6P remains as tough as it has so far.
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
Hello, I'm looking into buying a Nexus 6p in about one month, after my loved N5 ^

I'll like to have some informations. First of all, i'm super warned by the "bend" and "kink" problems... Is Google doing something for this ? Does everyone have this problem with Nexus 6P from February or after ?

It's scaring me a lot ...
[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
You'd have to ask Google if they're doing something about it. No, not everyone has this problem, it only affects a tiny percentage of users.
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
A tiny percentage ? Hell ! I see that bend problem all over internet ! For me it looks like a lot of user has it :o !

So, i'm gonna see with Gougle, and i hope i'll never has such issue >.<

[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
Yes, a tiny percentage. I think you're mistaking a high number of complaints with a high percentage, theyr'e two entirely different things. Even though you might see it reported quite a lot, when you compare that number to the probable number of total units sold it would be a tiny percentage, waaaaaaaay less than 1% probably.
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
Oh okay i see, it's just that there arn't a lot of people creating topic to say "Best phone ever, 7 month have it, no problem" ^^ I mean, there is, but not a lot !

Thanks for answering me, i'm so afraid of that bend thing !

[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
Of course there aren't. It's always those people with problems that are the most vocal, there's really no point in anyone starting a thread just to say their phone is fine.
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
If you search for the Bend Issue the results all point to here!
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
i see ^^ I've seen with Google, they telled me if i buy it with their website i'll have a 2Y Guar' and they maybe can replace the phones if it appens !
[Nexus 6P General] yuppicide:
I have no problems with bending. I have some sort of Spigen case that has the top and bottom exposed, but even so I have no scratches or nicks really. The case cracked on one corner so I'm going to get something else, but the phone is fine.

I'm roughly 258 pounds and I've sat on the phone with it in my back pocket before and nothing happened. Same thing with my HTC One M8 when I had it. I don't make a habit to sit on it, and I don't sit in it for a long time, but sure there were once or twice where I didn't realize and I sat on it for minutes.
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
Oh well, so it really depends on the phone. People also say that it depends the case you have... :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] Revthejedi:
After 3 months my 6P bent. Google Nexus case on it for most of that time.
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
Did Google send a new one to you ? :(

EDIT : I don't know if i take it on Amazon (549€) or at the official Google store (649€) :/

I pretty sure it plays on the warrantie... And if it bends google will not send me a new one if i used Amazon... :(
[Nexus 6P General] Turbojugend:
lol, phones don't bend, you bend phones. It doesn't matter what case you have.

Phones have gotten larger and thinner. You put that in your back jeans pocket and bend over, you are probably going to bend your phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Not if you've got an M10 or S7.
[Nexus 6P General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Why do people keep saying this? If you've followed this thread at all, you will clearly see that there are people who had their phones bend without putting it in their back pockets at all, including me.

Stop spreading false information.
[Nexus 6P General] joooe:
Bending a phone is pure misuse. Period.

You can come up with the wildest excuses. Misuse.
[Nexus 6P General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Believe what you want. I've owned about 50 phones over the past 7 years and have never, ever bent a single one. I didn't treat the 6P any different than those other 50.

So if babying a phone (I've never broken one ever) qualifies as misuse, then I'm guilty.

I don't understand why so many people keep attacking Wizeguy??? I been on xda a long time and have always seen him post helpful things and not attack anyone. It's becoming embarrassing to see this on xda. Guess what, the phone does seem to have its issues. It is getting that bend around the volume button. No I'm not sitting on it. Like Wizeguy says, I treat this phone like all my other phones and never had this issue. It doesn't make me hate it, switched it out for a replacement and am happy. Some of you may find this hard to believe but this phone isn't perfect and not quite as polished as you want to think. I have an s7 edge also and that phone is built way better but the Nexus is great for its price. Sorry for rant.
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
They haven't closed this thread yet?
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
Because hes lurking around just to spill his sorrow and biterness and start arguments. No ones denying some people have problems with this phone, but you cant also claim that ALL devices has this problem, because me and many other users treat this phone as any other and dont have any bending issue. And thats exactly what hes claiming. And goodluck with your s7 edge, 1 drop shattered to pieces lol.

I am a little worried after reading this thread and that 2nd bend test on youtube, where it looks like the guy bends the phone with relative ease.

I have the frosted adopted case too, will it end up bending my phone do you think?

I was so happy with my phone until i watched the latest bending youtube video. Shall I send my phone back if its so bad do you think? Am I silly for keeping it, or am I being completely stupid worrying about it bending?

What the hell do you do with your phone that caused that kind of damage? I have been pretty rough with my phone and had no problems.

Also, after seeing that second bend test video I put a good amount of pressure on my phone to see if there was any give when bending it and it didn't give it all.
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
ouhh you correct my spelling, such an adult thing to do... brownie point for you.

Fact of the matter is you should read up on the poor design choices made by Huawei and the soft spots of the metal used in the spots the OP has issues.

Design flaw not user error as people are stating .

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

He bends it with ease, because that is the weakest point of the phone, and exactly where the OP has damage.

All this video shows is that a gorilla is very strong. I'm guessing most of us already knew that but just in case there is someone here who didn't know that you now have a video to reference which shows that a gorilla can break things that most people would consider quite robust with relative ease due to their great strength. Fancy that...
[Nexus 6P General] wclark57:
Hulk or no Hulk, there is no real-world scenario that matches applying that kind of force in that manner to a phone. There is also no measurement of the amount of force actually applied. So all these videos prove is that it can be bent if enough force is applied--which is true of anything.

Personally I take as correct his comments about the reasons it can be bent, I'm just not sure it matters much--it doesn't seem likely to happen in the real world. Perhaps it means that the phone will be more likely to bend if you put it in your back pocket.

There is also this: "Nexus 6P Bend Test - Stands up to 90 Pounds!"

Seems a bit odd I have my phone for about a week now with the same exact case I didn't see any type of bending. I workout extensively with weights and it landed on my phone with the case on nothing no bents or debts. Looks like you sat on it or did something to it

Well since I accidentally posted something here while trying to post in the shipping waiting room.. Here's my 2¢ if when I get mine if it does that I would RMA it for sure until I get a device that I am happy with.. However I see a lot of people who are really happy with their nexus 6ps and very few who have problems with theirs.

[Nexus 6P General] ChrisJ:
I had been using the Adopted case since getting my second Graphite (first had cosmetic damage out of the box). It is really easy to get on and off and I've had no issues with it.

My Leather Folio case was delivered this morning (bought for those occasions I want an extra bit of protection) and so I quickly the 6P out of the Adopted and into the Folio. Nice snug fit, nice case. Magnet for screen activation etc.

However, here's where the problems start. Can I hell get the phone out of the Folio case, it is well and truly stuck. At best I can get one corner off (with some force) but that just makes the other three corners even tighter. There is no way I could get this off without damaging the phone. Cutting it off would be a very risky procedure.

I've contacted Google and they have escalated the problem to see if there is a design issue with the cases but they have said they are going to arrange another exchange for at least the phone.

Confirm bending after two days in pocket

First time poster here, so first off hello!

After two days with the nexus 6p it appears that it does indeed bend easily! I've got a video of it, but being a n00b I can't link to it!

It seems that them in my opinion, perfectly valid use of a phone by carrying in a back pocket is sufficient to bend the device. The chassis is warped and there is a 'kink' above the volume rocker in the frame (a pinch point) which the bend has created.

Needless to say I an returning it which is highly disappointing having had 4 Nexus devices in the past and enjoyed them immensely.
[Nexus 6P General] cbobb123:
Strange. I wear tight pants and my 6P seems perfectly fine. Do you guys use cases? I've heard that tight cases can cause metal phones to bend.
[Nexus 6P General] Gizmoe:
That's exactly it. He wants everyone that owns a 6P to live in fear of what happened to his ONE device. It's trying to invoke an emotional response from users on these forums and it comes across as malicious whether he realises he is doing it or not. It's obvious he has rubbed many people the wrong way.
[Nexus 6P General] Heisenberg:
Sorry guys, but no. I've taken exceptionally good care of my phone, as I do with all of my phones. I've never had it in my back pocket and when it's been in my front pocket (where my phone resides) I've taken great care not to put any stress on it. I've absolutely babied this thing, it's never been dropped or had any abnormal stress on it, and I've still ended up with a very small deformation on the frame where the power button is. It's very easy to say what you guys are saying until it actually happens to you. I'm still not one of those guys who thinks this is a widespread problem and that it's bound to happen to every 6P, because it isn't. But there is definitely potential for it to happen to a small percentage with no abnormal use or misuse.
[Nexus 6P General] habs101:
At the shop I work (mentioned in previous post) we have had some still since the release of this phone come in with bent phones.. even co workers that have the device state how the phone wobbles and has bent in the same location as all the devices and postings in this thread.

IF .. (big IF) the device bent in other locations - then i would say user error and abuse

The fact that majority if not all the complaints are in the same area, same description, same everything well It is not abuse but the way this phone as mentioned in many many post of the construction. end of it. I don't know why people say " well you are sitting wrong, you abused it etc etc".

when someone happens in the same spot over and over and over again, yeh highly doubt every person is replicating the same abuse. huawei messed up the design on this one. hopefully if they built a nexus 6p v2 this issue won't happen
