[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juelzfire23:
Had a at&t note 5 for 3 weeks before getting my nexus 6p and the nexus 6p is more so the right phone for me ....the front facing speakers are great like my old nexus 6 but even better , the software experience on the nexus is more fluid than the note 5 , the note 5 does have a brighter display , the note 5 does have a slightly better camera but both are great! , battery life so far is better on the nexus 6p, never had ram issues with my note 5 so multitasking is about even even besides the dual window option's on the note , you get more storage on the nexus out of the box 25gb usable on the nexus only had around 20gb usable on the note....i don't seem to miss the s pen much nor do I miss wireless charging....but to sum it up both phones are great
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
I wouldn't go as far to say all of that. However, it is true Samsung handicaps what can be done by the device. Hardly any useful apps can be used to multitask I just came from the note 4 and I'll tell you that I'd ditch multitasking and all of tw features in a heartbeat for this phone. Plus I don't like the way Samsung is designing their new phones. Hate the metal design time and time again plastic has been the better material, no removable back or SD port. They killed off the main reason why I would even buy a Samsung flagship over the nexus line. And this is someone who has had every note except the 5 and had the s1 and 2.

*edit

I've never felt the note 5 to be premium. I prefer the note 4 over the 5 build quality and the camera is better on the 6p.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
It's just my opinion, multi-window is true multitasking. You don't necessarily have to hide one app to use the next one. That's the same thing the iPhone uses.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlosAbia:
Dude I was scared to do the switch. The 6P MURDERS the note 5 (in my opinion).

Don't be scared if you're on the same boat, or at least try it and if you don't like it, just send it back.

Is that the 6P? The pic looks uneven, how do you do it because I can't find the function even under the developer settings?

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

Are you rooted?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinx10000:
Yes. It's the 6p. Haven't played with it much.

It requires an edit to the build.prop then it becomes visible in developer options.

Change ro.build.type from user to debuguser.

Requires root. Looks uneven because it's a light and dark theme app.

I definitely like 6p more than note 4.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
Then it's not available out the box and adding that line indicates that it will definitely be buggy. My point simply was that functionality at this point is what makes it better. I also stated that I just got the device. I need to spend more time with it, so far I really like the device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinx10000:
Just providing a screenshot as requested. The little I've used it, it seems OK. The only thing I missed from the note 4 was the floating video player but gplayer seems to be a decent replacement.

I think on some respect we miss certain aspects of devices. Multi-window is mine because of the nature of my job. It was helping to have both windows open to review information.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hibby50:
As a former samsung user, while their multiwindow is more refined, out of the box it's crap with the limited number of apps. The aosp multiwindow is certainly in the early stages, but it supports every app and is built into the recent apps screen instead of a sidebar. To get the full capabilities from Samsung's MW you would need root too. Then it blows aosp MW out of the water. The good thing is it's being developed and since it's a nexus we will see updates sooner and more often.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
That's not the definition of multitasking. Can the 6P do 3 things at once like the note 5 can? No. That is what multitasking is.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

That's not true at all. Most note 5 have root and custom Roms except Verizon and AT&T. You don't even have to unlock the bootloader as it already is, all you have to do is flash twrp.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Goodness gracious you are so inaccurate in your posts it's scary. Multi window works 10times better on the note than it do's on the nexus eve if fewer apps are available. The nexus version is not close to final while it has been on the note for 3 generations. You cannot possibly compare the multitasking ability of the 6P with the note, it's night and day. And you call the Samsung UI boring? Ha haha
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Multitasking is extremely handicapped by Samsung its such a gimmick the only way for it to be useful is rooting and installing a custom ROM. I just came from a note 4. By the time you get around to flashing a custom ROM its pretty much better to go with cm anyways. And don't get me started in how faulty their features are most of the time its a hit or miss with them. I will miss Odin but that's pretty much the only thing the note 5 was such a bore. No removable back no SD port it went from a power house to a generic android with gimmicky features and a pen.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Explain exactly how it is handicapped by Samsung. What makes the nexus 6p a better multitasking phone the the note 5? Please explain
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
after waiting patiently for the 6p..ive decided to give the edge s6+ a shot in gold..best phone ive ever had..slimmer and lighter than the 6p and its display blows the 6p out of the water..yeah it has touchwiz but i get 0 lag but i prefer stock android over touchwiz everyday of the week..ill keep the edge s6+ until i get bored of it but definitely not exchanging it with the 6p..lets see what next year brings
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
I never said the 6p was better at multitasking. But I will say that I find it easier to switch between apps on stock android than I did with touchwiz. On to the Samsung multi window only apps selected by Samsung or compatible can be used with it. Only time I ever found it useful was when needing to copy something from the browser into another app and even then it was a hassle having to open it up get it to set up right the way I want. I really like it in theory but the fact that aosp is working on its own floating windows I feel they'll make it what it could be.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Why are you people feeding the Samsung fanboy? Seriously, it's blatantly obvious, ignore them and they go away. Multitasking is actually very poor on the Note 5, simply because of the RAM management. I can have every app on my phone available at a tap on the Nexus, no reloading. Note 5 on the other hand keeps 3-4 apps saved at once, and the rest need to reload. It's awful, and bogs down an otherwise snappy performer.

Anyway, I've got both in my posession, and quite frankly unless you use the s-pen, the Nexus 6p wins every day due to the smoothness of 6.0. Note 5 will be the last of the new Samsung flagships to receive the update, as it always is. The extra work for the s-pen features means it takes longer to get out. The speaker on it is downright awful too.

Oh and its pot-luck with both of the devices in regards to getting a good screen. My first 6P had an awful screen, extremely pink on the top, and green on the bottom. My 2nd screen was almost perfect. Both had the speaker issues though, with the top sounding clearer and louder, the 2nd phone being worse for it.

That being said, the Note 5/Edge/S6 speaker is absolute garbage. Arguably the worst speaker samsung have ever put in a phone (yes, its almost Note 3 bad).

Side note: The Note 5 I have has all the same screen faults as my Note 4's did (went through 3 before I gave up). Its pink towards the top right going down the right edge, and yellow/green in the bottom left going upwards of the left side of the screen. You can fix the bottom or top with Screen EQ, but it will always leave one side uneven. Look under a harsh light, and you will see all the dents or ripples in the screen where the pinkness appears and where the screen bends at the bottom causing extra brightness.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglerstock:
I tested the Note 5 there is no need to tell me about it. Note 5 is pure definition of how to waste hardware on a phone that will never deliver the power it has under the hood. Note 5 is about impressing people with "omg fastest cpu". What for do you need fastest cpu and all that RAM when software will never let you take full advantage? It is snappy but not smooth at all. I am sure you have been using it long enough to have forgotten what real smoothness is. But if it works for you I am glad.

P.S take your time to wait for xda application to redraw if you planned to switch to it by using the recents button of the Note 5
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Right, it's true that only Samsung selected apps are available on multi window. Once rooted you can select any apps. But multi window is not available on a 6P stock, correct me if I'm wrong. You have to root tour device as well. And when both devices are rooted and all apps are available, the Samsung implementation is flat out better, where do you think google got it from?

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

This is an oxymoron post, a fanboy calling someone else a fanboy. I own the 6P so how is a Samsung fanboy pwning a nexus is something you ure can explain.

Besides your post if full of crap ad ignorance. You are the first person I have heard that has had a bad note 5 display. Not one review or user I have heard of called the note display anything else other than the best one on the market. I'm not even going to address the rest of your nonsense as its no worth it. If you had good points yes but not here, it's ridiculous.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

You guys are so emotional. Can you try to be objective? Whatever pros the note has over the 6P you try to sweep it under the rug like it doesnt matter. What are y'all like 12 years old or something? I mean j understand the biasness since it's a nexus forum but come on guys, you guys are looking like children for real.

I have the nexus. Is it smoother? Yes it is. But it's not a drastic difference. The note 5 is snappier and would load some games significantly faster than the 6P.

You say the hardware don't take advantage of the power, I don't see how that can be true. Besides the note being the faster device, it also has many more features and you can have 4-5 apps running on the screen at the same time while using the S pen as well. I think the hardware is definitely used. If you hate Samsung than fine but it will not hurt you to give credit where credit due.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglerstock:
I do not hate Samsung. And I am not fanboy because I don't care who makes the phone. If I like it I buy it. I also do not like it when people here call each other troll/fanboy just because of different opinion. I am saying that for me Samsung simply sucks because they always advertise all these bombastic hardware but end of the day they fail to deliver. And I am not sure what you do with 5 apps opened at the same time... Anyways yes call it an advantage of the Note 5. Personally I would only find the Note 5 useful when I need to digitally sign some document or when I need to take a scrolling screenshot. I also find the camera on the Note 5 better than the one on the Nexus 6P but it isn't a big difference to make me want to get the Note 5. I use Youtube a lot and on the Note 5 scrolling sucks. I am sure you can confirm it too if you are one of those that do not like fooling themselves.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I'm not calling you a fanboy, that other clown who clearly is [MENTION=5883397]istrikerx[/MENTION] who says the note 5 display has a pink hue and that the speaker is arguably the worst in Samsung device history. When you hear blatant lies like this you wonder if it's worth discussing here, might as well just make everything up to make the phone we like look better.

You do bring good points, the note has scrolling stutter in apps like YouTube for example. That's a fact. But personally it doesn't bother me cause I'm not there scrolling all day just to check how smooth it is. Make no mistake, thw note is very fast and quick but there are some areas like the YouTube scrolling that need work.

My point was not about why you would have 5 apps opened at once, it was that it has the ability to do so and thatis what is multitasking by definition, doing several things at the same time. I can watch a YouTube video while ordering something online about the YouTube video I'm watching while having a small window of the message app to answer text messages. That is what multitasking is. These value added features to me are worth more than having a plain stock android wit smooth scrolling. That's just me and to each his own. Your opinion isn't wrong nor right it's just your opinion. Just stay objective and don't lie like that other guy.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anglerstock:
I was indirectly referring to that guy for calling you troll lol. It is about priorities and this thread will end just like the others. Different people give priority to different features. Scrolling lag gives me headache. Can stand it for some time then get annoyed by it. The Note 5 is the best phone Samsung has built up to date (according to myodest opinion). When they decide to fix their kernel and agressive handling of applications in the background, they might earn my business.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
See I like having discussions like these better than viewing "oh yeah get this phone because of these points." Its hard to stay objective when you pay money for these devices but I have both I see the flaws in both there will never be a perfect device and its a shame Samsung makes some great hardware and software its just bottlenecked in some areas.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I'm only a troll to him cause I'm going against his feelings :p. If I was really trolling while bashing Samsung he probably would have pmed me to donate to my paypal ;)

I can respect that. A lot of people don't like touchwiz and even if it improves 2 years from now they still wont like it cause they just prefer stock android. I totally understand that. Faster updates, more dev support...and now the 6p has pretty much the total package so it is the ultimate nexus phone. But to me man, I just enjoy those extra features that Samsung provide, it makes using the phone a lot of fun. And of course not to mention the arguably best camera and display as well as wireless charging and other features. Samsung is improving though, they went from cheap plastic build phones to premium build devices. From a super laggy interface to a lighter one with almost no stutter. And of course there is still room for improvement.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Believe it or not but its very easy to stay objective, ESPECIALLY when you pay hard earned money for these devices because you want your money's worth.

Like you said, both devices have flaws but they also both have strengths and they are without a doubt the two top android smartphones available today, no question. So its normal that you see here or the note 5 forum or on youtube many comparisons between both devices. Its hard not to like the nexus 6p especially for the starting price and being free from all those Godforsaken carriers, none of their bloatware and restrictions.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac16313:
Idk I myself find it ever so difficult to stay objective I find myself defending touchwiz still since I love the small features that I won't ever get with stock android. But now I see myself looking at touchwiz with hate lol. Either way you'll end up with a great phone that will last you a while so it depends on what features of the two you like.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
Most note 5s are on verizon and at&t since they are 75% of the american market, so no root on those carriers is a big deal.

I think the point is that Samsung aggressively closes apps in the background makes "multitasking" slower. The Nexus keeps apps in the background for me for days and they are right where I left them. It does this without the device stuttering or lagging.

Samsung makes awesome hardware, no one is denying that but their software is still not where it should be.

I have both. Bought the note 5 right away. I always hated the lack of fluidity. I had previously been on the nexus 6 and sold it to my cousin. Well even with the note, every time I messed with my cousins I constantly found myself missing stock android.. I got annoyed by trying to stream by movie app and having to clear default video app every single time I wanted to use all cast to play it on my chromecast instead of just being able to flick, use allcast just this time only.. The phoen is beautiful. It fits amazing in the hand, but I just really missed the speakers and stock android, the ability to change roms, take off bloat.. etc.

I feel like it's bad to say this on here but my S6 Edge is clearly smoother and faster than my N6P. The display is also perfect (unlike my 6P). If it wasn't for the fact the Edge is virtually totally locked down and there's no AOSP Roms, it would be a clear winner.

Yes I owned it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I was looking at the way the two devices are designed and manufactured. Big difference.

The 6P's subframe, which is a circuit board, is attached to the aluminum shell with six screws (circled in yellow); two at the top under the camera lens and four at the bottom behind the plastic cover. The center is strengthened by adhesive holding the subframe/circuit board to the display/digitizer. The battery is what provides rigidity. The 6P is extremely vulnerable to bending where the topmost edge of the battery ends. That is where the cutout for the power switch is. The cutout weakens the side frame which is why there have been reports of kinking there.

The Note 5 uses 20 screws that are placed on every edge of the phone to attach the discreet subframe the metal body. The circuit boards and components are attached to the subframe. Once screwed together the subframe and metal body are a single unit creating rigidity.

It has been reported that Huawei won't do customer paid repairs (EG: screen replacement) so 6P owners need to be handy or purchase insurance.
