Yeahh, I've seen the articles. Thanks tho.

What is it about the 6P that you guys love so much? I've been having a hard time finding a decent replacement for my G3 and settled on the 6P over a year ago and have been hating it since. So far the best Android experience has been the G3 conservatively debloated with Xposed on 4.4. That, for me, was perfect. The G4 was a slight downgrade in software and form, but a slight upgrade in hardware/performance. The 6P is worse in performance than the G3, G4, and on par with my old Note 2.

I've thought about the Note 8 or S8+. ROMs aren't an issue for me, but I have to have root and Xposed.
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
Subjectivity.

I chucked the OP3T and went back to my 6P. No idea why your phone was slow hut mine is more than capable to handle anything thrown at it's way. I have a hardware fault in the proximity sensor and it's getting too hard to live with which is the primary reason I'm looking to change mine. The secondary being that I've gotten quite bored wirh it and I feel that technology has advanced further enough to warrant the change.
[Nexus 6P General] NepoRood:
The phones from this year absolutely let me down, I was expecting much more. So, I ordered myself a 1st Gen Pixel XL, 128Gb, Gooble Version. I had a VZW model for a few days and gave it back because I couldn't unlock the bootloader (had a decent bounty, too).

I think it'll last me for the next few years, and besides, I got a good deal on it :good:
[Nexus 6P General] idbl_fanatic:
LG V20?
[Nexus 6P General] shusuke028:
Nice. Right now I'm stuck between the Pixel XL or the OnePlus 5. I'm leaning towards OnePlus 5 because of the newer chipset and the development looks to be a lot more active than the Pixel XL.
[Nexus 6P General] NepoRood:
I'm on Verizon, so 1+ is not an option for me. I'll develop my own stuff for the Pixel when I get it, so no worries on that front :D

I'm already running my own custom Oreo ROM on my 6P, putting that on my new Pixel should be easy enough.
[Nexus 6P General] Pandawg:
I've never had a problem with performance on the 6P. I liked the phone because of the front firing speakers, development, camera, and the battery until it started to degrade.
[Nexus 6P General] deXter55:
i was hoping pixel 3. but i doubt I'll be able to afford that. so I'm gonna wait for xiaomi mi7, mi mix 3 and oneplus 6
[Nexus 6P General] SombraDu:
I fixed my bootloop nexus 6p by replace a new Soc, and bought Mi A1.
[Nexus 6P General] nilledeniro:
Buy a compressed air duster and spray on the upper speaker grill. It solved my problem with the proximity sensor. Hope it'll helps. Good luck!

Strange. I also replaced my LG G3, which I loved, with a 6P. Definitely don't regret it as the 6P has been great. Biggest problem I had was call quality which was fixed by placing a small bit of tape over the rear microphone. It has never overheated, never lagged. Faultless performance.

Upgrade time now though. As none of my last 3 phones (HTC Desire HD, Samsung S3, LG G3) have lasted the 2 year contract without randomly dieing I've been getting nervous. :mad:

After looking at all the options I've settled on the LG V30. Loved my G3 and hope the V30 delivers.
[Nexus 6P General] ps000000:
I am waiting for some review of upcoming OnePlus 5T & HTC U11 Plus.
[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
Pixel 2XL is here to replace the Nexus 6P. Doesn't look quite as premium in the back IMO, but it's a lot nicer to hold, and the battery life has been incredible.
[Nexus 6P General] Smykoo:
Maybe Huawe Mate 10 Pro. Great looking device.

Sent from Google Nexus
[Nexus 6P General] slaydog:
Ooh, Huawei is a bad word in these parts...

I've had a good experience with this phone till the battery died, but with so many horror stories about their customer service, I didn't even bother to call them when it needed to be replaced...

Of course it did make it through the 1 year warranty period before it failed, so wadia gonna do..?
[Nexus 6P General] AlmightyAl:
I've had my 6p for nearly 2 years and I love it. I still do love it. In fact, I've been looking for an upgrade as my contact will allow me to upgrade in November. But I seriously can't find a phone I want that can offer me more than the 6p! I have never been happier with a phone!

But the ones that caught my eye were Huawei Mate10, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and S8+, Pixel 2, oneplus5. All are great phones but all are somewhat flawed - either price, not stock android, not on android Oreo.

Yup. Love my 6p....
[Nexus 6P General] Rashad83:
It depends which part of the world you are in, Huawei Malaysia customer service is one of the best I have ever heard of, when the battery issues started popping up before 1 year ago people flocked to changed their 6p units that were affected and they replaced it for them with no issues and for free.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

I can't agree with you more, but I have bought my first iPhone the 8+ which is not bad but iOS really sucks in comparison to Android. My eyes are on the coming OnePlus 5T I hope it doesn't disappoint.
[Nexus 6P General] noXcape:
No one is really looking at the z2 force.... It's so under rated.. I use my 6p for work and have the z2 force to play around with. If y'all want a real replacement for the 6p it's the z2 force. It is a monster. The battery smack talk is just smack talk. It last all day.

Without even getting mods for it. Still a fantastic device.

I use Verizon so I know I'll never see development for that model. But tmo and Sprint have bootloader unlock so you know it will see some xda love in time
[Nexus 6P General] NepoRood:
I know a few guys working on the Z2 Force, don't give up hope...
[Nexus 6P General] mickyw1980:
I am due an upgrade now but can't decide on the pixel 2xl or one plus 5
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
If your considering a one plus id wait as they are releasing a 5T with the 18:9 aspect ratio, bigger screen and smaller bezels.

sent from my Note FE
[Nexus 6P General] Prey521:
Pixel 2 XL will be delivered tomorrow! Can't wait....not sure what I'm going to do with my 6P though. Load it up with games and give it to the kids, or return it back to stock and sell it?
[Nexus 6P General] crucialcolin:
Just got the 2XL today myself. Have been considering selling my 6P as well.

However I'm already finding out I don't like the new 18:9 aspect ratio as text and objects actually appear smaller on the 6" display then they are on the 5.7" 16:9 6P. So it doesn't feel like a directly suitable upgrade.
[Nexus 6P General] Kaleshwar:
Text can be resized remember?
[Nexus 6P General] t1mman:
I'm in the same boat, contract ending in nov. but I'm in no rush to change! I'll be running on a BYOD for a couple of months until the V30 gets to a decent price. I look forward to test that sexy audio DAC!
[Nexus 6P General] Imprezive13:
I will never buy a Huawei phone again. I've gone through 3 of them. Customer service experience was terrible with them. Having battery issues 3 days after my warranty expired. I love the Nexus program and I'll miss it. But on to the pixel 2 xl.
[Nexus 6P General] royalewihcheese:
Might want to take a look at early reviews on the 2XL. Major widespread problems with the screen colors, quality, and burn-in after only a week. We've seen this before in the Nexus line, and it never works out well.
[Nexus 6P General] crucialcolin:
Did that and got used to it. I was actually starting to like the P2XL. Unfortunately that was before I got hit with the screen burn in problem. It's not retention either as some have suggested since I've been trying my best to rid myself of it playing full screen video, leaving up a solid color image on screen, and playing with some of the repair tools.

Ah well more then likely back to the 6P.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

They are now refusing RMA's as well and claiming the issues with the display are normal. If you haven't already bought the phone I would suggest waiting to see if some of these things improve over time.
[Nexus 6P General] Andromeduh:
My 6P right now is dying and battery drains faster, but it's totally hard to let go of this device especially the camera where it shines and defeats my girlfriend's iPhone 6S. In 2 months I will be upgrade eligible but I am still uncertain if I can get a Galaxy S8/Note 8/iPhone 8. I'm inclining to get an iPhone 8 so I can resell it and buy OnePlus 5 and save the rest of the money but for now, my money goes to Xiaomi Mi A1.

Anybody else having the same idea as mine?
[Nexus 6P General] Kaleshwar:
I'm on the same page.
[Nexus 6P General] hdk703:
Pixel 2 cause I like having stock vanilla Android too much.
[Nexus 6P General] Imprezive13:
Well since they are giving a 2 year factory warranty I'll take my chances. Google customer service has been top notch imho. But they have addressed it and in the coming weeks software patches to address a lot of these issues.
[Nexus 6P General] Joh@n:
Sorry for kicking this topic since it is almost 2 months ago since the last reply but I'd like to know what others with the 6P choose nowadays. I have been a bit unlucky the last year with my phones.

My Nexus 5X was just a year old this February and started bootlooping. I have bought a 2nd hand 6P - 32GB silver as temporary replacement but I liked it. During summer I got more and more complaints about mic issues, so I had send it in for warranty and purchased another 2nd hand 6P - 64GB grey in the time between. The 32GB had noise cancellation mic issues and battery issues and was fixed. I sold the 32GB version and am pretty happy with the 64GB version. I like the AMOLED screen, stereo speakers and overall performance. I am not that happy with the battery performance since 8.0/8.1, the battery has been replaced just before I bought it so that's working well. I get around 3 hours of SOT on WiFi/4G/LTE.

I am looking to buy a second hand Google Pixel XL 128GB since 32GB is not enough for me at the moment. I am a bit worried if the Pixel XL will do for me. It has no stereo speakers and battery life is probably a bit better but not much. Further more it is thicker and a bit more dull.... Is this really an "upgrade"?

Another more "expensive" option will be the Pixel 2, since the 2XL is way too expensive and I hear too many issues with it. I only think that the 6P > Pixel 2 move will be a bit of a disappointment because of the screen :(
[Nexus 6P General] noXcape:
I went to the pixel 2. It is an amazing phone... I have had no real issues at all...only small hiccup I had was the bootloader thing but they gave me a 25 $ play credit and had it fixed in a week.
[Nexus 6P General] NepoRood:
I have a 6P and a Pixel XL 128Gb, for performance, the Pixel wins. Better in just about every way, IMO, only real difference is lack of development. 6P has tons of development, still going on, while the Pixel has really slacked off since Oreo came out.

However, I have stock 8.1, rooted and themed, and it's working great. Only missing a few features that I liked about custom ROMs :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Joh@n:
How did you experience the switch from the 5.7" QHD screen to the smaller Full HD 5" screen? I've always been happy with the size of the Nexus 5X I had, sometimes the 6P is a bit too big but the stereo speakers and AMOLED were a very nice compensation for that :)
[Nexus 6P General] noXcape:
I also have a Moto z2 force and the screen size between the two doesn't even phase me.
[Nexus 6P General] Joh@n:
More users who went from the 6P to the Pixel 2?
[Nexus 6P General] Flooning:
I'm going to wait and see what treble supported phones come out this year. Would it kill google to come out with a budget pixel phone?
[Nexus 6P General] antmunny:
I think I'll get the OnePlus 5T. Nothing's wrong with my Nexus 6P right now...had the battery replaced as well as the daughterboard/USB port...except it's awfully slow at times. It's probably time to get an 835...or at least an 821
[Nexus 6P General] MeddlE-pf:
Not regretting the move from the 6P to the LG V30 at all. The camera is fantastic, wideangle is extremely useful for me, and the sound when using headphones beats anything I've ever had before be it phone or mp3 player.
[Nexus 6P General] Joh@n:
[MENTION=1159243]MeddlE-pf[/MENTION] the V30 is on my list as well, but it's still pretty expensive... Luckily a lot of folks received it when they purchased a LG OLED TV so prices are dropping pretty quick in my country. Still have some doubts about the software experience and updates though...
[Nexus 6P General] stankyou:
Switched to 5T. Camera is meh but hoping it gets better since it looks more like a software issue than hardware. 835 performs well. I haven't had this phone heat up like the 6P during my normal usage.
[Nexus 6P General] stephanes:
My next phone will be a LG G6 next month because it will be free of charge from my carrier with my actual contract. I will keep my 6P in case I don't like the G6.
[Nexus 6P General] blsrbl:
Lol i totally agree on everything you said. I never expected that i would see a high end smartphone in 2017 with such a horrible display. I truly wish there's a phone with s8+'s display and stock Android. I even thought about getting one n flashing a custom ROM on it.
[Nexus 6P General] Thunderbolt:
Im switched to s7 edge a few months ago but i can't stand bloatware. So i buy oneplus 3t with great devs support.
[Nexus 6P General] ps000000:
Maybe OnePlus 5.
[Nexus 6P General] therock3181:
Happy with my 6P.

I have my eye on the OnePlus 5 at the moment. Could be my daily replacement driver for the next 2 years.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
They dropped support for the oneplus 2 pretty quickly. That is the only part that worries me.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

I love both and can't seem to stick with either. The 7+ is a beastly phone, it is so insanely fast!

Then again, I love the whole customization of android.

I'm geeky and use both daily.
[Nexus 6P General] therock3181:
I keep my phone between 1 and 2 years.

Custom ROMs will always be around the corner.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Custom roms sometimes have bugs like loss of camera quality, calling issues, etc...

Especially with phones that are not open source.

I'm not willing to have issues with my phone just to run the latest version of android, at least not these days.

I won't go to a phone that doesn't get supported anymore I doubt, that is why I'm not getting the s8+ like I was considering.
[Nexus 6P General] shiftr182:
I'm looking at the Essential, or Oneplus. Thought about the Mate 9, but Huawei isnt releasing source.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
The essential is such a nice looking phone
[Nexus 6P General] shiftr182:
Yeah. I like that it is made of titanium.
[Nexus 6P General] skitisu:
I have bought Sony XZ Premium. 6P with 810 is too hot……
[Nexus 6P General] sp0rky:
i dont mind the heat.. but when its hot. my charger stops charging and i cant play Mobile Legends and am forced to take a break
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
I will be getting the new Pixel XL 128gb version.
[Nexus 6P General] Face_Plant:
You shouldn't play games while the phone is charging... It is extremely bad for your battery. If it gets hot enough it can swell or even explode.
[Nexus 6P General] Kaleshwar:
I'm waiting on the next phone with front facing speakers and upgraded specs . That's the only reason I would upgrade.
[Nexus 6P General] xdamember143:
It's 3,300mah and the new snapdragon 835 processor is really efficient so no need to worry

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 AM ----------

Sorry to tell you but that's probably never going to appear on smartphones anymore ,with all these bezeless phones and water resistance playing a big part too
[Nexus 6P General] rockyrocker:
OnePlus 5. Looks to be an awesome upgrade.

Btw, with June update, N6P seems to be bit laggy. Is it for all?
[Nexus 6P General] Kaleshwar:
That's a bummer. ?
[Nexus 6P General] murso74:
I can't wait to be rid of this thing... The essential is intriguing, or the new note

Edit:. Looks like the essential is going to be a Sprint exclusive. Talk about dead in the water
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
I just got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. Battery is nuts and I do like MIUI so it works for me. I'm currently at 3 hours SOT and at 75% battery, my 6P would be at like 15-20%. When I'm feeling like stock Android I'll still fire up my 6P.
[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
I don't know. I want something that is close to stock and has good battery. I originally wanted the OP5 but then i realized i can't get it to work on Verizon. Pixel 2 may be too far out and the price plus the underperformance of the battery with the first Pixel XL worries me. Maybe I'll get a Moto device.
[Nexus 6P General] Loccy:
How are you finding it in terms of performance v the 6P? I had been considering Xiaomi myself and was looking at the Mi5s Plus. I thoughf the Redmi notes seemed a little low budget in comparison to the 6P but the price is certainly right.
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
I don't really see a difference in performance as I don't do anything to crazy on my phone. It's nice to have a pi phone that never heats up though. I've had other Xiaomi devices, but another factor that was that the RN4 is one of the few Xiaomi phones that I can get LTE on T-Mobile here in the states.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
What if it was bad from the start (battery life)?

The processor is/was bad, look at how many issues it has caused on several different phones. It is known to be problematic. That being said, it does perform better on the 6p than any others, however it does still get quite hot.

*sorry just noticed this was an old post**
[Nexus 6P General] Geezerooo:
All phones get hot. Some just feel it more because of design or materiel. The only reason the CPU caused issue in phones IMHO is that the phones didn't optimise it properly. Everything you buy has a chance of being problematic, luck of the draw but it doesn't mean its bad. If you got a phone that was bad from the start (lemon) it is easily returnable but VERY rarely does that happen. Most of the time it's people thinking there purchase should be perfect but it doesn't live up to there EXPECTATIONS.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
810 is widely know to have overheating issues, so trying to justify it is a losing battle. Google it if you don't believe me, it was a chip issue that is well documented. That could be a large part of the battery issue too, depending on the proximity of the cpu to the battery.

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

You'll get lots of thanks though I'm sure, from the stick their head in the sand crowd ;) So there's that...
[Nexus 6P General] Geezerooo:
Lol, not arguing with you bud. Just saying that my phone never gets to hot. Even playing games it rarely goes over 65c. So to me it's not an 810 problem. Just because it's documented doesn't mean its right.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Lol ok then.. Every phone with an 810 just magically has this same issue.

It is pretty much the most common "complaint thread" about this device. Both here and on android central. I'm not going to lie to the OP just because I like this phone.
[Nexus 6P General] psychic99:
In my case I see it as a positive, because where there is a runaway android process (often play music via some BT bug) it heats up in a jiffy and I can kill the offending task before my battery hits the skids :)

I was eyeing the LG v20, but I can wait, because I am seeing flagships plummet in prices when they are about a year old. Heck the S8 family is already dropping. The power is great now, so a 1 year old flagship is cool by me, and I'm not dropping more than $400 on a phone, so a $1000 pixel is out of the question.

Seems to be a pretty solid phone but TBH I like my Nexus devices and PN because I can easily keep up w/ N6, 5x, and 6p. Believe it or not my kids N6 w/ PN on it the battery while it is at 85% this thing lasts forever. That phone is awesome. The N5x is just borked on RAM and slow storage. Abomination.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I'm seriously considering oneplus 5. I think it is hilarious how much it looks like my iPhone, but I'm sure it'll be a beastly phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Looks disappointing, a terrible design with a 1080 display. No thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Meh, honestly I have held both my phones together and the difference is barely noticeable at all. Hugely overblown, look at how the s8 and s8+ ship with 1080p on by default.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
The 3T pentile display is horrible.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Ahh I haven't seen it in person, so that may be why it needs higher res
[Nexus 6P General] MarkGbe:
I assume the pixel 2 XL will not be priced at $599 or below, which is my price ceiling for a smartphone, so probably ZTE axon 7 or 8(if reasonably priced), or a used Xperia XZ.

[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
You can only make a rectangular device with a screen on the front and a camera on the back look so different. Just like TVs. How different can you make a TV look from another?
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
C'mon now... Be serious. There is no way you cannot say they cloned the device. I like the phone too and will probably buy it, but you know it isn't just a vague resemblance like you're making it out to be. The rear is completely identical. I'm ok with it since I think it's a good design, but still.
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
Realistically, they can put the camera anywhere and it'll resemble another device that already exists. Remember when the iPhone 6 was getting bashed for copying HTC's design? Do you think they copied HTC's design? We can't have a double standard here.

The only reason why it looks identical is because it has the same color and it has two camera lenses on a corner which is common for a number of phones. Having two camera lenses enclosed together is nothing new and their logo has always been at that same location as well.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Go back and look at pictures of iPhone 6 vs HTC one m7 and this.

Honestly you can play this off however your want. If you can't see it you need glasses. I can't even believe you're playing dumb though lol It's pretty sad
[Nexus 6P General] richii0207:
You're missing the point. Phones will start looking similar to some extent after a while as the phone market becomes saturated with hundreds of different phones being released year after year. Do you really think Canon cloned Fuji in terms of their DSLR design? How about monitors or headphones?

Like I said before. Smartphones have a screen, buttons, cameras, and speakers. How different can you configure all of these to make it look "different" from existing designs without hampering functionality. Place the camera on the bottom of the device and then put volume buttons on the top or bottom a the phone to avoid being accused of copying a company?

By your standard, I can say that any device from here on out that has a screen that covers most of the front is a clone of the S8. Actually, since the iPhone 8 is rumored to be mainly screen on the front, I can then say that it's a Samsung clone, especially if it has rounded corners. Or that the pulldown draw or notification drawer in iOS is a clone of Android's features.

I'm just using your argument and applying it to different scenarios here. Like I said before, you cant have a double standard here.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
I understand your point entirely, I just disagree.

Again this isn't just a vague resemblance. Every other manufacturer manages to find their own designs. Why haven't they hit a brick wall yet?

You're a sad apologist.
