I'm getting a 6p soon but keeping my 6 as well. :cool: Always been a Nexus user and always will!! Was rather upset at the 5X as I thought it would be a little more like the og N5. Wish it just looked similar...:banghead: If they made a BIG LG Nex I'd be all over it but unfortunately they did not. Huawei should have made the 5.2 and LG the big Nexi. :/ Happy holidays to everyone. :)
[Nexus 6  General] lkhafra:
Everything from performance to build quality is better on my 6P especially when overloading it. My heavy use is with my phone in a car mount. Ill be streaming Spotify while using Snapchat off charger and doing other things too like streaming Youtube in between. sometimes Im video recording my drive. The 6P holds up better than my 6. My 6 gets warmer under long gaming and the kind of blew me away. This is my first SD 810 device for personal use and I've herd horror stories. The only thing better with the Nexus 6 for me is ease of opening it and the bigger screen size I thought id never miss. I expected alot of the same things I get with my Nexus 6 plus beast upgrade in camera. What I got is the best Android experience I ever had. This is even better than going from windows smart phones to the Droid 1. The Nexus 6 stopped me from upgrading phones frequently and now the Nexus 6P has stopped me frpm complaining about compromises. The only complaint I had was paying the full price up front and availability " ehhhh the sdmaller screen was a slight complaint for a day lol"

Picked up a nexus 6 for my wife last wek and liked it so much I bought one for me today to replace my note 3. I looked at the 6p, really wanted to justify the extra cost but I couldn't do it. Yes it has a better soc, camera, and screen is supposedly better. But when I really looked at what I wanted out of a phone, I feel like the nexus will get me through the next 2 years without much regret. It's screen is bigger, it's speakers are better, supposedly it's call quality and reception are better, It's Motorola vs a questionable Chinese manufacturer, I can get a heavy duty holster case that I like now (ballistic) instead of waiting and hoping for some decent 6p alternatives, and lastly the 6 should get one more OS update plus almost 2 years of security updates.

I keep hearing about how nice the build of the 6p is, but honestly just throwing an aluminum body on something doesn't necessarily mean it's going to hold up to 2 years of use. I trust the pre lenovo Motorola more in this regard.
[Nexus 6  General] Tigerstown:
Just to clear up the Op benchmark claim

Also I have owned 4 Motorola phones 3 which were N6 and 2 Motorola watches had to make claims on every device I have owned from Motorola besides the new 2nd gen watch I got. Never had to make a claim with any other phone company sense smartphones dropped.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Another factor for me is radio quality. Most devices I've owned, my M8 included, I have to sometimes step out onto my deck to make a phone call. Even send a text. I live in a small town.

The Moto X far and away had the best signal strength in my house. And I am doubting Huawei could match Moto in this department. In some areas, radio may be irrelevant really to most people. But for me its a big issue. And even minor differences in quality of the radio could mean the difference between keeping warm in the winter, or freezing my butt off outside to make a call. Lol

My Antutu score on the N6 is 52,128, so in comparison, the 59,944 off your N6P clearly wins.

I think there's no doubt that in many ways, the N6P is a better phone. I just don't know if it's approximately $150-200 better (I paid $260 for my N6 used, but in 9/10 condition). I am interested in knowing if the N5X/N6P's fingerprint readers will unlock with an MS Exchange account set up on the phone; that would be the killer feature that might make me interested in the long run. In the meantime, I think I'll enjoy the N6 and skip one generation of Nexus phones.
[Nexus 6  General] funcrusher:
I don't have the 6P but I've read a lot of positive things about reception.
[Nexus 6  General] SocksNUrToaster:
I switched to the 6 because my 6P frame got bent somehow. I'm sure I hit it against something but I had a hard case on it and never dropped it. I don't exactly baby my phones but I've never ever broken any of them except for the 6p..and ive had a lot of phones..unfortunately it doesn't look like the build quality is very good..but the 6 seems top notch!
[Nexus 6  General] toknitup420:
This is new score on updated antutu app for 64 bit devices. This was taken after flashing factory images. Completely bone stock. Scores don't mean everything when comparing devices. But they don't hurt. [emoji16] [emoji16]
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
But in real world conditions, I defy you to see a difference. Benchmarks never tell the whole story. But I agree, I'm gonna skip the 6p too. The N6 is just too damn good to give up for marginal gains. I'm going to start going on a 2 yr cycle of phones from now on. It's not like a slight upgrade will change my life.
[Nexus 6  General] ixon2001:
I've already started to put some money away for next years Nexus.

The Snapdragon 820 will be a much more worthy update over the 805 & hopefully 4GB of ram as well & maybe 256GB of storage & the return of OIS.

I bought my Nexus 6 couple of months ago for £255 new which is a bargain for this kind of phone & apart from the annoying ascending notification tones, my phone is otherwise perfect & will easily see me though until the end of next year.

The only 2 things i would love Google to sort out and one of those is what i mentioned above is to give us the option to turn off this annoying feature, plus also give us the option to use the LED Notification light without rooting both the 5X & 6P can use either Ambient display or notification LED or both together so why not the Nexus 6 when it has the LED there to do this.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
The scores between the 805 and 810 actually are VERY telling. The problem with benchmarks is that most people are fixated on the "final" score, rather than understanding and comparing the breakdown.

And while the 6p's 810 may score a little bit higher *overall* than the 805, the breakdown is incredibly interesting; the part that *really* stands out in the benchmark, is the SINGLE THREADED integer and float performance. Single threaded is important because this is the only part of the benchmark that actually compares them core-to-core. The fact that the Krait cores literally obliterate the A57's is very telling. The Krait gets integer/float of 3031/2746 while the A57 gets only 2334/2060. The graphical performance is fairly similar between the two, so given that they are both pushing the same resolution, obviously they really did nothing special to the Adreno.

In fact, ALL of the points where the 810 beats the 805 are strictly due to the fact that the 810 has *EIGHT CORES*.

Which means that in order to actually experience an improved performance with the 810, you need to be running *VERY* multi-threaded software such that it will actually put *ALL EIGHT* cores under full load. Any software that doesn't very competently distribute and load ALL of the cores, will perform better on the 805.

The other consideration is that when you *do* run software that can put the 810 under full load, while it may *briefly* outperform the 805, sustained processing at this level with all those power hungry cores, will quickly catch up with you and cause it to drop frequency and cores to keep the temperature safe. The 805 will throttle back as well, but with only 4 very efficient Krait cores, it will take longer and not throttle back as far.

Despite the benchmark showing an overall better score, the 805 is a stronger CPU than the 810.
[Nexus 6  General] :
The lack of notification light is a Moto thing. The Moto X had Active display too, instead of a light. At best , members got the light to work as a battery charge indicator, and I think CM got it working for notifications, but only if the phone was charging.

I wanted a light too. But since I left the x, I've missed active display. Lol
[Nexus 6  General] Hoshneer:
I've had the Nexus 6P for a week now and it's the best phone I've ever had.
[Nexus 6  General] ixon2001:
When they where first showcasing Lollipop on the Nexus 6, they had an option to turn on the LED, but this was removed on launch in favour of Ambient.

There are a couple of lollipop roms that get the LED to flash like a normal notification LED, I think Cataclysm latest beta brought back this option again for Marshmallow.

Even though this phone was built by Motorola, it is built to Google specs so hence why there is a proper RGB LED hidden away in the speaker grill, the Ambient display isn't no where near as good as Active display on Motorola's own phones.

As mentioned before both the 5X & 6P have the option to use both the LED or the Ambient display, it wouldn't take much for Google to re-enable the LED on the Nexus 6 aswell.
[Nexus 6  General] felix168:
The only good reason to purchase a Nexus 6 over the 6P is "$199 for the 32GB and $249 for the 64GB brand new".
[Nexus 6  General] :
For me, on a two year contract, the N6 is 0 and the 6p is 50. So cost is irrelevant really.

Going for the N6. Another issue for me, is I work construction . So the stories of bent or warped 6p's has to weigh in my decision.

I'm not a cutting edge is a must type, so slightly better 6p specs isn't enough. I still need to rate a Moto product above a Huawei one.

But that's just me. We all buy what suits our needs and wants. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] nikeman513:
I had the Moto X Pure 2015 (the 808 is awful), came tried out the 6p in the stores and wasn't that impressed. Got the N6 for $250 new, and after rooting and getting the display right. It's pretty damn good. I don't see why I would need to get a 6p. I used to be a big specs guy, but it's all starting to become irrelevant. The White 6 is beautiful, and I've grown to love the big screen for reading! The speakers are the best speakers I've ever heard on a phone, and like I said, I just don't see a reason. With 6.0 I'm getting 6hrs SOT too.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr Ian B:
returned my nexus 6p as it kept skipping all the time when streaming on my 2015 chevy camaro with my link infotainment. GM said it was due to 6.0 and picked up nexus 6 from amazon and it has 6.0 with november 2015 security patch and it streams flawlessly with the my link infotainment. Definitely there is an issue with the bluetooth in the nexus 6p.

Ian B
[Nexus 6  General] dhaugru:
Strange. Mine doesn't skip and works great. I stream Google Music or Tune In radio probably 15 hrs a week. I have a Ford with the Sync system.
[Nexus 6  General] golfinggino:
I have both the nexus 6 and 6p the 6p is faster and battery battery life, that said the nexus 6 had the best battery of any of the previous devices I have owned and that is many. I will keep my Nexus 6 as a backup because it is a great phone, will retire my 3 Sony xperia ultras now as they are getting a bit old. I like big phones but would say buy the nexus 6p if money is not an issue it is better in every way- both phones are running the same rom - uber mallow rom but the 6p is just a lot faster. Hope this helps someone considering these phones
[Nexus 6  General] nikeman513:
In what way is the 6p noticeably faster? Checking email, browsing, calls, basic non gaming apps? It's a placebo effect. There's no way it's noticeably faster because, the Nexus 6 does not lag... It doesn't even stutter to open apps, so I don't know how you can say "just a lot faster". That's completely subjective. Idk how games are but, I'm 26 and don't play games, nor have kids that do. That's the only thing I can imagine where you can notice a real difference.
[Nexus 6  General] james11417:
Okay. We get it. You tried the 6P for 5 minutes and got a great deal on the N6. You don't need to keep justifying your purchase by bringing down a superior phone. I use a 6P and bought 2 N6 for $200 for my parents. The N6 is good, but the 6P is just better. The camera is better, battery is better, screen is brighter, speakers are louder, and I actually use the fingerprint sensor. I'm coming from an N5 and I skipped the N6. You can skip the 6P since you just got yours.
[Nexus 6  General] nikeman513:
I skipped the 6p almost 2 months after release. If I wanted one, I would have gotten it. I'm not justifying my purchase, I'm just stating the facts. In everyday usage there is no difference. The speakers are not better and the battery life isn't noticeably either. I'll agree on the screen, due to the SAMOLED. Speed though, lets remember how single thread speeds of 805 compared the the N6p and you've got yourself a moot point.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
I agree, but the 6p fanboys won't stop telling us how the 6p is light years ahead in every way and will change your life and make you a superior human. Good lord 6p users, stop it already. We get it already, you win, we lose. :silly:
[Nexus 6  General] monkor:
I'm not here to start a war or anything I promise but the Nexus 6 does lag occasionally. To say it doesn't flatly is not entirely accurate. Every phone does. The Nexus 6 keeps it to a rare minimum but I've noticed the occasional hiccup. Having not tried the Nexus 6P, I can't say. But I'd hazard a guess that it, too, lags occasionally.

All that said, both phones handle rudimentary daily tasks amazingly well. There's no shame in owning either device.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
Like you said, every phone lags at times, including the nexus 6p. Sure it's a bit faster, but we long ago passed the point where normal users would notice any difference in daily use.

I can name pros - screen, fingerprint sensor and camera, and cons for the 6P, in the end it makes little sense given its cost. For me at least.

What I will say is it's not a ripoff like the N6 was when it launched.
[Nexus 6  General] toknitup420:
For me the fingerprint scanner and better camera and also the all metal body were enough for me to jump from the N6 to the n6p. My wife uses my old n6. Both phones are fairly equal when comparing actual everyday use. The n6 is a beast of a phone. So anything you compare to it will seem equal or maybe a tiny bit better. If the fingerprint scanner and better camera and also the metal body aren't important to you then stick with the n6. Cuz the marshmallow experience is virtually the same on both phones.
[Nexus 6  General] funcrusher:
And you're here justifying your decision to stick with the 6 every chance you get (and have been for a while). Same thing. Don't be a hypocrite. Some of you guys are bordering crazy.
[Nexus 6  General] Semseddin:
It is not nexus 6 owners' fault if the 6p is not better than 6. No need to justify anything with 6, it is been around a year unllike 6P which needs justification about everything, including bendgate scandal.
[Nexus 6  General] gee201201:
Come on guys stop this juvenile talk about what Nexus 6 is better. Of course the 6P is newer and therefore has improved hardware over the N6. But both are good devices and in day to day use the difference is not that big I guess. No need for who's right discussions.

Greets ?

I don't understand why people are fighting over which phone is better. Who cares? They're both excellent devices. You can't go wrong with either one.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
what about the bending on the 6P , plenty of reports because of flimsy aluminum/design flaw,
[Nexus 6  General] monkor:
I'll remember that the next time I try to grind a curb with the 6P as my skateboard. It's pretty overblown, just like the iPhone 6 Plus. Sure they'll bend, so will most phones. Don't use them in the most extreme manner possible and there won't be much of an issue.
[Nexus 6  General] funcrusher:
The issue seems pretty legit. I haven't experienced it personally, but I'll give the people reporting it the benefit of the doubt. You don't know how they're using their phones, so why pretend.

I'm still rocking a 6 and still unsure about upgrading.
[Nexus 6  General] nohcho:
Except that they bend under normal "in the front pocket of my jeans" and no, not skinny jeans
[Nexus 6  General] :
What's with the hate guys? Remember always, to each their own.

Got my N6 finally today and couldn't be happier! ;)

And if someone else got a 6p, great! I'm sure you'll love it too!

No reason to slag on each other. Right? :good:
[Nexus 6  General] toknitup420:
How is that possible. I've had mine for a month now. I do service work for a living and I'm constantly laying on my phone and my pants are tight on it when I kneel down or squat. I have no signs of bending or anything like that. If it's straight up against you're thigh in you're pocket, then I can't see how you're bending it.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
I agree. I don't have a problem with the N6p or anyone using it, as I'm sure it's a fine device. I just have a problem with some people coming here and acting like the N6p is in a completely different league from the N6. If one were to compare the original N5 to the N6p, then yes, it is a much better phone.
[Nexus 6  General] :
That's sort of the jist here. If one were to compare the original N5 to the N6 the upgrade is minor. A small spec boost and a larger screen pretty much. The same can be said (more or less) of N6 -> N6P.

In either case there is an improvement. And in either case for many that improvement isn't enough to justify the price of a new phone.

That doesn't change the fact that the N6P IS better. You are just one of those people for who it isn't THAT much better. As am I.

I still don't understand the need to start and continue a thread just to say that you aren't getting this years Nexus. Just as I don't understand threads where people say "Bye I sold my phone and got a better one".
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
I didn't start the thread.
[Nexus 6  General] dr.vj:
Did you find any difference in radio? Is 6p reception better than that of 6?
[Nexus 6  General] nohcho:
While i have no experience with 6p, I highly doubt that motorola can be beat in the reception game.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Huawei has some ex-Nokia guys working on their mobile radios. You could be surprised.
[Nexus 6  General] toknitup420:
My cell signal is a lil bit better on my 6p. At least it's that way Boston. I'm not sure how it does out in the sticks.
[Nexus 6  General] :
As a happy new owner of the N6, I can only say reception in my house, in my small town is better than our other phones we've had, IPhone 4s, S2, N5, G3, M8 and on par with the previous title holder, the Moto X.

So I'm pleased anyway. :)
[Nexus 6  General] AarSyl:
Maybe there's a differences in speed when using the camera. Either way, the easiest time to notice the difference in speed is during the initial installation of apps after a fresh flash/reset. This is the time where I always see the minor/major differences in processing speed.
[Nexus 6  General] davwman:
Just flash any of the ROMs and use elite kernel. I get 6 hours sot with seriously hard use everyday.
[Nexus 6  General] GraveDigger176:
That's my score with my N6 running SkyDragon rom and kernel screen on time is always around 6 hours without any problems [emoji16] [emoji16]

I used the Nexus 6 for about 3 months and I have been using the 6P for a month now. I can say for my usage (moderate)the 6P has noticeable better battery life. Having said that if you got the 6 for $199 then it is not worth switch at that price.
[Nexus 6  General] Face_Plant:
After looking at the battery thread in the 6P forum I'd say they're pretty equal. In the 6P section I see people between 2.5 and 6 hours of SOT, just like the original Nexus 6. Battery life depends heavily on your usage, settings, etc.

The best way to compare them would be to set up both phones exactly the same and use them the same way at the same time and compare battery stats at the end of the day.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yup! I tend to get tops in battery life on every device I own , but my usage and setup are always the same and I strive for the juice, cause I'm not around power most days on the job. Need all the juice I can get.

My N6 is getting a day and half and near 6 hours SoT. But that's me. It varies for everyone. I run lean and simple.

I find my N6 on par with my M8 and Moto x. I guess the bigger screen brings it to those smaller screen and smaller batteries level.

I'm satisfied tho. :)
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I have to say the same. I see about the same battery life that Darth does, and like him it is not unheard of for me to goes days without being able to charge my device.

As stated. It is to each their own. If you got the 6p then cool, if you didnt then that is cool to. No need to revert to children with "my phone is better then yours"
[Nexus 6  General] :
But...mine is better! :silly:

Seriously though, absolutely. Who cares what phone someone else has. Wants, needs, budget, loyalty, etc, all play a role in our choices. I have a family. A 6p turns out, would have been 200 bucks on contract. The N6 was zero. For the slight upgrade, and my fondness for Moto, it was an easy decision. ;)

If I were rich, I likely would have got the BB Priv. But 400 on contract. :eek:
[Nexus 6  General] golfinggino:
Both are great phones I own both running the same rom ~ uber mallow 6.0.1 ~ and the 6p is better on all fronts including battery life. In my opinion the 6p is a worthwhile upgrade to the 6 ~ but as I mentioned both are great I am now using my n6 as my back up phone
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Thats just an ipinion unless you can prove its better.

Alsi, something to keep in mind. Ever and all compariosons with battery life are void. The nexus 6 it at least a year old now. For any battery comparison to be valid,the battery on the nexus 6 has to be manufactured on the same day as that of the nexud 6p.

Smartphone batteries decay overtime,regardleas of use.
[Nexus 6  General] golfinggino:
Lol everyone who owns both will say the battery is better - the n6 is a great phone and I will be keeping mine the n6p is just better that is all I am saying
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Ok I have had enough of kids playing my phone is better then yours.

If you got the 6p cool. If you have the 6 then that is cool to. Now lets stop the childish bs.
