I see it as a downgrade from the 6p really, if your gonna make two give me one with a 6" screen that's what I want and the ffs those are a must.
[Nexus 6P General] BennyJr:
Might be doing this. I miss my note 2... :D
[Nexus 6P General] pj1980:
Going by the 6p there were sales of $50 off or $50 gift card with purchase after only 3 months of release, so I'm hoping for the same for the HTC Nexus. I would probably buy it but wait for a discount.
[Nexus 6P General] ps000000:
I am confuse that will Huawei made Nexus phone this year or not ? :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Your not alone...no details leaked lately.
[Nexus 6P General] krabman:
Rumor/leakers had Huawei making one and HTC the other in the beginning but most seem to have HTC making both now. I would think we're getting close to more solid information based on the expected release timing.
[Nexus 6P General] Jammol:
Unless there will be 3 of them? Lol. That would be a little weird but we will just have to see. I was kind of hoping LG would make them again but that sucks. Sure would have enjoyed that lower price of they had left it up to LG for pricing.
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
I'll be keeping my 6P for another year. This will be the first time I'll be skipping on the new Nexus :(.
[Nexus 6P General] krabman:
I would have been fine with LG getting the Nexus, the battery life wasn't quite where I wanted it on their previous devices but I was otherwise happy with them. I'm not worried about HTC getting the nod, they have made (IMO) poor design choices in recent years most particularly with the camera but the hardware itself has been sound. I'm expecting these to be decent devices.
[Nexus 6P General] Grandroidster:
well, i just bought my 6P a month ago, but i'm still planning on getting the new Marlin. :) can't go back to 1080p.
[Nexus 6P General] Jammol:
That downward speaker though. I refuse to accept a Nexus without dual speakers in the front unless it is considerably cheaper than what i paid for the 6P. I am really hoping those rumor leaks are false about the speaker being at the bottom. Just doesn't make sense that the 6P had dual, and just when the company that toasted having invented that feature gets it, they aren't going to use it?! That's like what LG did with the G5. Dumb as a box of rocks!!!
[Nexus 6P General] Stupifier:
I never would have thought 6P users (or rather any phone user) cared so greatly for a Phone's built in speaker configuration.....

Seriously..... Considering Phones are small devices, their speakers will be crap no matter what. Dual speakers are just another flavor of crap. I never expect to be blown away from a phone speaker and the 6P is no different. Use headphones or external speaker. Strange complaint.
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
It's the little things that somebody cares about, little QoL they must have. It may not be important to you but it's a deal breaker for some. The same reason people don't buy a phone if it's not an AMOLED screen, only in 1080P, no NFC, no wireless charging, no external card support, etc.

Not everyone is the same.
[Nexus 6P General] Petarsson:
not necessarily talking about boom-sound or something...but even for short youtube-sessions it's great to have ff-speakers...with my S7 and its speaker at the bottom, i always have to hold my hand right, so the sound comes in my direction. otherwise i do not understand anything, even on full volume, if there is a lot of noise around me...no problem with the 6P!
[Nexus 6P General] krabman:
Beware of what you wish for, the complaints about the bezels being too large have been heard. HTC received more complaints about the bezels than any other (perceived) issue with the boomsound phones and their sales imply however much they were liked by some they were not in and of themselves going to move phones. IMO the cameras and a lack of visible improvement from year to year hurt them more but I've seen no data on it.

I myself don't listen to music over the speakers but I do use the speaker phone so for me loud and clear in that usage is enough. On the other hand when watching YouTube or the rare occasion I play games I do appreciate the front fires. I think like most of you I've had all the speaker configurations and for me none of them is without flaws as I use the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] [hfm]:
Just buy your Nexus phones straight from Google and you don't have anything to worry about.

My first-day purchase Nexus 5 will need replacing. I'm definitely considering Marlin, but having one of the not-so-great N 9's, I'll probably wait for 4-6 months and watch how it goes. 6P is a little too big, but I'd take it if my N5 dies before a reasonable replacement comes along. 5x is a great size but not what I want. I'll miss wireless charging, but, hopefully, I won't need to be charging a new device as often as the N5.
[Nexus 6P General] Chad_Petree:
I never thought I would say this , but on screen buttons are sort of a fail , 5.5" with on screen button might be a tad too small for me , the bezel + on screen buttons ends up being even bigger than a phone like the iPhone with its huge bezels :/

On screen buttons make sense on a phone like the Nexus 6 or the lg G2 with their tiny bezels , now we get big bezels + on-screen buttons and to make it even worse most apps (even Google apps ) don't use the transparent buttons , so the space reserved for them is mostly wasted space :/

I am aware, and use this on my Moto X Pure, but not 100% satisfied with that and similar apps because the keyboard is buggy especially when typing numbers.
[Nexus 6P General] kalali:
The only thing keep me from switching to samsung is pure android and update. The nexus has way too much space from top and bottom bezel to screen when turn on compare to new samsung s7 or note.
[Nexus 6P General] Spl4tt:
I will absolutely switch to marlin as soon as possible.

I'm happy to finally switch away from the abomination called SD810..
[Nexus 6P General] Afterh8:
I'm keeping my excellent 6P for at least 2 more years for sure.. will need an excellent reason (such as battery deterioration) to make a move.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
I'm having battery deterioration after 10months.
[Nexus 6P General] Afterh8:
Is that after taking good care of your battery?
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Yes, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary.
[Nexus 6P General] car.los.7399:
A nexus 6p profile but with a 6.0 screen, front facing speakers and side bezels very tiny. I recently picked up the Nexus 6p because I don't want a 5.5 screen. I could keep my Nexus but I find it to be much slower against the Nexus 6p.

Oops...responded to the "get the Note 7" thread here instead of there. 13-hour time zone changes really mess with my head (I just arrived in Singapore this morning after a 32-hour trip...).
[Nexus 6P General] fuzz_33594:
Speakers killed the H10 for me and will do the same for HTC Nexus phones. If I wanted an 820 SOC, I would buy the ZTE AXON 7, especially now that ZTE is supporting unlocking the bootloader. (Love the idea of the GN7, but the locking down of the AT&T model made Samsung a no go since I moved on from the GN2.)
[Nexus 6P General] Kusanagi Fire:
Guess it kind of depends on the overall phone when it's announced and how it looks. Pretty happy with the 6P although I'm always itching for the latest (plus seamless updates sounds nice and 6P won't have that with N). Having said all that, pretty disappointed with the lack of front facing speakers (if true). They're nice to have when watching YouTube or sharing music with friends.
[Nexus 6P General] iZack187:
Yes I will be buying but the mere reason it'll be the first DayDream-Compatible Nexus. The Nexus 6P could never achieve that status unfortunately. Although I hate the spec, hate the smaller screen, hate losing dual front speakers... i'm sold to VR and I want a daydream phone. :(

I'm waiting for the reviews and if they are bad, then I'll probably wait until the 6p drops to 300 or 350 for the 64gb. My only concern is the heat from the SD810 and the huge screen size (I'm used to 5in screens)

[Nexus 6P General] vagelis:
Very sadly, after owning the 6 and the 6p, weighing in all options, I've preordered the Note 7. The Marlin looks like a dead fish in the water. Yes, it will have the latest N features and exclusive assistant, all the Daydream bells and whistles, but a smaller screen and fugly non-speakered bezels. 5.7' screen is the minimum for me, and the 5.5 with soft buttons is like a 5.3.
[Nexus 6P General] Chad_Petree:
Duplicated sorry
[Nexus 6P General] murso74:

Why does samsung's software have to be effing bad ?

I would get the galaxy s7 edge in a heartbeat, even the "new " UI that comes with the galaxy note 7 is still fugly as hell :'( , Samsung give up already give us a galaxy phone with a stock Android UI but with your camera app and your extra features ( if you must ! )

[Nexus 6P General] hsrn:
the blurred photos show the sailfish device.

this one seems to be based on htc a9 (5" phone) with the same big bezels.

the 5,5" marlin device could be based on htc 10 with smaller bezels.

at least that's what i hope for.

i need a new phone this year.

i'm still using my nexus 5 and definitely need a new device.

nexus 6 was too big.

nexus 6p's build quality doesn't convince me.

that's why i skipped these two.
[Nexus 6P General] leekslk:
I agree with [MENTION=2752735]hsrn[/MENTION] that the Nexus 6P is a little too big, also with my rather small hands, I love this device but sometimes I wished it was smaller. Upgraded from the S6 edge and have been missing the size and how it fits on my hands. But I guess that's subjective to user. Hopefully Marlin would be smaller and better at the same time.
[Nexus 6P General] Spl4tt:
I actually do love the size of the 6p, but I have to agree that it is a little bit too big in most cases. I hope the rumours of Marlin being 5.5" are true, as this is the perfect size. I love how easily the Oneplus One fits in the hand. I think 5.5" is the way to go.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
So what price do we think the Marlin will be? I'm guessing in the UK for us the 128gb model will be £500-550+? 32gb is just too small personally speaking. Probably $500+ in the US?
[Nexus 6P General] jivy26:
This ^^

Not like the Marlin specs are whoa! I will stick with my 6p until another Nexus line comes out next year.
[Nexus 6P General] LiquidHonesty:
I've upgraded from every Nexus to the next since the Galaxy Nexus, but I'll have to pass this time. I'm too fond of the larger screen....6 to 5.7 was acceptable but going down to the "every other phone" size of 5.5 is a no for me, I'll stick with the 6p but might go to the Note 7 if I see fit.
[Nexus 6P General] blinde:
I just wonder why Google makes gradually more uglier phones each time. Galaxy Nexus was great looking, Nexus 4 gorgeous. 5 was all right but already uglier. After that all those nexuses have been more and more uglier. And these new ones... fugly is quite accurate description.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Yes, you could almost change this thread title to "will you downgrade"...
[Nexus 6P General] kalali:
Seems like note 7 is a hit this year. Looking forward to get a note 7 soon to replace the nexus 6p that i just got few months back. When i put my nexus 6p next to a friend s7 edge, i can already tell there is a big different screen real-estate even thought they are almost same size. The on screen buttons on nexus take away to much screen space imho. And now the note 7 by all indications is much better than a s7 edge too.
[Nexus 6P General] Stupifier:
But Root and/or Bootloader Unlock for Note 7 in USA sucks......Limited custom development.
[Nexus 6P General] gleggie:
I have the Qualcomm GS7 right now and I will say that the screen and camera are amazing. With thst said, TouchWiz has gotten better but still is godawful imo. Battery life is pretty bad, and bootloader is completely locked down. Also Samsung has terrible onboard audio (dac is literally poop) and speakers are also terrible. Literally only reason I got the GS7 is for the camera and screen. Once the new nexii come out, I will wait for the reviews or get the zte axon 7, or a 6p if the prices drop really low.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Also, Note7 only has bottom Speaker! :eek:
[Nexus 6P General] ohlin5:
While I like the 4GB/820 (or hopefully 821!), the combination of literally allllll the other negative factors (no dual front speakers, smaller screen, etc.) will likely make me stay away. If only the 6p had a faster camera'ed, 4GB, 821 variant it'd literally be near perfect in my mind. I will also literally never buy another Samsung again no matter how awesome the hardware is, as in America you will never truly "own" it and that's just wrong imho.

As for the back of the new Nexus', am I the only one who literally wants to barf at the sight of that ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE chunk of glass? It's disgustingly big, odd, and ugly as sin imho.
[Nexus 6P General] TransportedMan:
Everyone here is overreacting if you ask me. The phones aren't even out yet. We know nothing about them for certain, all me have are speculations, test models, and blurry images here and there. Wait until they're announced in a couple weeks we can see the real deal.

Marlin seems to be exactly like Sailfish save for a bigger screen. I kinda don't believe this because a bigger screen and battery can't be all it had to offer over its little brother.
[Nexus 6P General] masri1987:
there's zero reason to upgrade if you have a 6p
[Nexus 6P General] hsrn:
maybe there is a reason why htc has the 2 options 5" and 5,5".

what if huawei is said to build a 6" nexus based on their upcoming mate 9.

that would make 3 nexuses this year which sounds not very likely to happen but we had rumors of a huawei phone with a snapdragon 820 chip which appeared in benchmarks.
[Nexus 6P General] blinde:
No. They are just following Apple style and releasing one smaller and one bigger device with only slight differences. There's no way that they could have succeeded hiding the third device.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
No OIS, poor 810 performance, poor build quality. There's every reason to upgrade but the HTC Nexus certainly doesn't look appealing.

[/COLOR]

1) I have a DSLR if i need that good of a photo, so far the 6P camera keeps me satisfied

2) I also thought the 810 would be horrible, but so far with the choices of kernels we have and kernel profiles, i'm squeezing out 5+ hrs of SOT with 0% usage during idle time. I can't complain about that

3) build quality?!! you are complaining about build quality of the 6P? i hope not, this thing is premium build. My note 4 wasn't even built this good.

I don't know why you got this bias towards the 6p for..

The HTC Nexus so far is not visually appealing, if the design is crap what's going to induce me to want to even look further?
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
It's not the photo quality of the 6P I'm concerned about, it's the video quality. I use it a lot for videos and they're horrible because of no OIS.

The 810 throttles heavily because of heat and there's a noticeable performance hit.

The phone bends easily because of the floating mid frame and I had to return 2 because of uneven screen tones (which I still have) , there's definite build issues.

Im not at all sold on the HTC Nexus and while the 6P is my daily driver and a great phone, I'm still looking for a better purchase this year.
[Nexus 6P General] Tehpdub:
Every year someone complains about something on nexus newest phone. Its a redundant cycle, while it being a "premium" phone and affordable at the same time. I'm pretty sure they can put better hardware in the phone, but you would end up paying more. I deal with it, that's what i did. It may not have the best camera or video, i knew that buying it. I bought it because of the development, fastest updates and the pureness. if you want a better phone get a note 7 and enjoy the price tag. just saying.
[Nexus 6P General] masri1987:
I concede the OIS point, video isn't it's strong suite.

Even with a custom kernel and EX KM profiles it still throttles?

I have owned mine brand new since May and haven't noticed any structural deficiencies.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Yes, it still throttles because the 810 by design heats up quickly and needs to be thermal throttled heavily. On hotter days the performance is badly affected, with general use though it's acceptable. I really like the 6P but if I wasn't a flashaholic who likes to try different Roms and kernels I wouldn't have it as my phone. I just wish there was a true premium pure Android phone that was made without compromises. As Nexus users, we never seem to get this.
