I hope I don't get burnt for this and hopefully someone finds this useful.
Initial comparison between my new nexus 6p and iphone 6s plus. Please bear in mind no special equipment was used to do the comparison just my eyes and hands.
Design
It's personal preference
I prefer nexus 6p look especially the back, the side bezel. And not to forget the notification light.
In the hand
Iphone 6s plus feels more premium, more solid, comfortable and slimmer.
Nexus 6p feels light, bit fragile and flimsy.
I prefer the iphone 2.5D slight curvature at the edge screen, again looks more premium then the flat screen of nexus 6p.
Iphone material is superior.
Camera and video
It's a tuff one for once nexus 6p can actually compete with top end phone cameras. Which ever you get you won't be disappointed with camera quality but I think overall iphone camera is more reliable with Optical image stabilisation.
Video recording and playback again would give this to iphone just much smoother and no jittering which I found on nexus 6p. Again I'm being picky due to the level of competition.
Software
Definitely stock android so much more customisation and shortcuts. I've jailbroken my iphone and it does improve significantly as far as customisation is concerned, with all the cydia tweaks available it does make it more difficult to choose one over the other.
Screen
QHD vs 1080
Tbh its difficult to tell with the naked eye but is noticeable ever so slightly.
Amoled is more vibrant and brightness is about the same compared to iphone but I do prefer the 2.5d screen and 3d touch on the iphone. Nexus edges it especially when playing 2k content.
Speakers
Positioning would benefit nexus of course but I found iphone sound more crisp.
Volume levels about the same and again iPhone wins.
Fingerprint
Positioning goes to iphone I prefer at the front. Unlocking speed goes to nexus 6p.
Accuracy both work excellently but because of the placement iphone wins it.
Price
Value for money its a no brainer, nexus 6p of course.
Battery life
Not tested so no comment.
Overall
It's a very difficult choice, prior to testing my nexus I would have said nexus 6p based on specs. Now I'm not so sure, gosh. I suppose if I was really pushed I would go for iphone, I think.

I'm using my axon elite to take pics which doesn't have the best of camera's.
Just buy the 6+ and be done with it. I am sure you will have fun trying to be half as productive while using iOS.
There's another thread for this.
Someone please close
Poor review, nuff said
Cheers for your feedback.
How does the 6P feel in your hands vs the 6s Plus? Meaning, does one feel bulkier than the other or is the feel about the same given they're almost the same size?
Not very helpful but thx anyway!

iPhone is heavier but feels more comfortable to hold. Nexus feels less sturdy due to weight but some may prefer the lighter phone and iPhone feels more solid.
Another thing I've noticed the back of nexus can be pushed down ever so slightly.

Thanks. I will be adding a case to mine so pushing on the back won't be an issue. What makes the 6s Plus more comfortable to hold? Is it the rounded edges or something else?

Rounded edges and iPhone being slimmer.
I think fingerprint reader on the back is so much better. I've gotten to the point where I just unlock it as I'm taking my phone out of my pocket. It almost makes the power button obsolete. On iPhone 6, the fingerprint is in good position, but on the plus, it's harder to get to it because you gotta balance a big phone with one hand while you get the thumb on the fingerprint reader.
I also think 6P is more comfortable to hold because it isn't as slippery. It's like comparing iPhone 6 with iPhone 5. Size-difference aside, the 5's more squarish edges make it easier to hold and are less slippery.
Anyways they're both great phones, you can't really go wrong. At this point it's all about which OS you like better. I honestly don't think either one is better than other, hardware-wise. They are very very close.

Valid points, thanks for your contribution.
I don't have the phone yet, but really the SINGLE SPEAKER on the iPhone is better than the DUAL, FRONT FACING, STEREO SPEAKKERRSS???
How/where is video playback stuttery on the 6P?
How is the camera more reliable on the 6S+? Better shots, more detail??

I planned to wait for the release of the GS4 active, because the original GS4 proved to be very fragile. I do not want to be forced to use a bulky case and the GS4 failed multiple drop tests when compared to the iPhone 5 and its predecessor, the Galaxy S3. According to the rumor mill, the GS4 active will be a inferior to the original GS4. With rumors floating around that it will only have a dual core processor and an 8 megapixel camera, I am not inclined to buy this phone. What are your thoughts? Do you believe that these rumors hold any truth?
Its not rumor. There has been a video posted of the phone. Those specs are true.

It's more like a rugged S3/S4 mix, if it were a true rugged S4 it would be without question the phone I'd get, but I prefer high-spec.

This is my way of thinking. The video leaked shows a dual-core, which is sad. I'd gladly buy the phone if it was basically an S4 with better bodywork.
Heck, I'd even buy it if it were waterproof =P
It's a shame, I was looking forward to this. Guess I'll just end up with a standard S4 and an Otterbox.

I can't wait to see the S4 Active, my dad needs this phone lol.
I may be bashed for saying this but i don't understand why one would buy a high tech phone and then wanting it full protection. If if you buy this phone you should take care of it (I understand a drop may happen to anybody) but still...is like buying a ferrari and wanting to put rugged tires and take it to a rally race

People use their phones every day. Often times people need/want to use their phone in the rain, or perhaps it drops in the puddle, there's a hundred reasons why having a water resistant phone is a good thing for most people.
Saw the official announcement from Samsung on the S4 active. Specs look comparable to the S4 except for the camera. Im hoping the Active will be on Vz by July.

the camera is most likely (don't know for sure but suspecting...) BETTER than the S4.
I've read they increased S4 to 13mp without increasing sensors size.
You've all seen the threads on blurry pics at night, right? One reason why? 13 megapixels, same optics.
More megapixels needs more light. Same light, lower brightness for each pixel. Plus that's a huge file and I doubt the sharpness will really increase with extra megapixels on a phone camera.
I'd rather Samsung use its experience with cameras and optics to provide a REAL increase in image quality via bigger/better sensor, optical image stabilization, etc. Although I just read HDR video came to S4 which is pretty darn cool. And there will be S4 Zoom with an actual zoom lens, also darn cool. That's what I'm talking about. One other thing I wish all phones had was a friggin' lens cover for the camera. Just a little thing that would slide over, maybe not even mechanical, just a little door users could close over it or something. Or at the least I wish case manufacturers would include this, something that slid or buttoned over it. Now I have to use tape.
Anyway, bottom line -- I think the Active camera will be BETTER especially at night..
All specs are actually better. It has an LCD screen which will be much better for a lot of reasons. MUCH brighter, accurate color, no pentile, etc. Work under water, as well as the camera working under water, in the rain, etc. And my fav-- hard buttons.
I'm going to start a thread on Verizon forums on this and try to get in touch with their corporate people to see if I can convince them to bring the S4 Active to Verizon. If they come out with it, i'll buy it off contract in a second!!!!
There is so much misinformation in this post.

Megapixel count has nothing to do with how much light they need. It's the sensor that determines how much light is needed. The reason some higher megapixel cameras look worse at night is with the ISO boost you get more grain that is more dispersed across the greater pixel count.
The most important factor in low light performance is sensor size.
And yes, sharpness will absolutely increase with 13mp vs. 8. You have 50% more detail. Keep in mind this really only matters if you are blowing up images on PRINT (it own't make a difference on a 1080p TV since a 2MP image produces a 1920x1080 image, appx.) or if you happen to have a 4k TV

It won't be. The S4 has a better camera, period. The S4 Active uses the same camera as on the Galaxy S3 which is a very good camera, but not as good as that on the S4. From what I have read, they are having supply issues with the S4 camera and want to keep their supply available to build into regular S4's.

Brightness is better but the contrast ratio isn't as good and the blacks aren't as good. This is not a pure win, it's going to be subjective. AMOLED will also have better battery life.

I think it looks like a great phone. I don't know if it's more rugger in terms of drop capabilities - but the waterproof is very cool. I am an avid skier and would love a waterproof phone. Even to use a phone in the rain without worrying about it is nice.

While you're right in most of what you've said, the way you explained it would make the average user think in blanket terms. Higher megapixel count *does*, in fact, require more light to achieve the same results (in terms of stops of light). The larger the sensor, the less light needed to perfectly meter the shot...but with the same size sensor, the higher megapixel sensor will require more light. That part was not incorrect.
In terms of the actual sensor in the Active, nobody knows what it is. You can't say "it's the sensor from the S3", because not even the review sites have any idea at this point. All that we know is that the Active will have an 8MP sensor...assuming that the sensor is the same size as the one in the S4 (there's no reason not to), it potentially could take better shots. Again, that assumes they won't just switch to a smaller 8MP sensor...but if they don't then this thing could be a great camera for low-light shots, since it'll have wonderful sensor pixel density.
I agree with you on the screen. All other factors aside, I'd rather have an LCD than AMOLED. Being able to see the screen during the daytime on an AMOLED is borderline impossible. Yes, the blacks are a little brighter and the contrast is minutely lower...but AMOLED also has its own share of negatives -- the primary being that the saturation is blown through the roof on most of them, completely destroying color balance and realism in pictures.
To the last point...the biggest thing about this phone is that you just don't have to worry about it as much. While most phones today could be used in the rain without issue (seriously...devices today are made to be pretty resilient on their own), this thing could be used in a downpour. It's less important for when you're actually talking on it and more so when it might be in your pocket and it's being covered in water. With a waterproof device, getting caught in a rainstorm isn't as big a deal because the phone won't have a problem with it. That's *HUGE*.
As long as the screen doesn't look like the one on the xperia z from the waterproofing...

I've had my phone for two days so far. After spending six months on a Galaxy S6 parts of me are very happy to be home with the Nexus line again.. mainly pure Android and the development sure to come. However, I've noticed two things so far with which I'm not terribly happy.
First, those bezels. Christ, there has to be damn near 1 1/2 inches of bezel on this phone. I thought phones were moving towards a smaller and smaller bezel these days. Apparently Google and Huawei didn't get the memo.
Second, no matter how much they tried to sell it, the camera is just not anywhere near the level of (at least) Samsung's. This camera doesn't even belong in the same sentence as the word Samsung. It doesn't have the ability to snap a clear shot of anything moving, even of my small dog walking. Any motion equals blurry pics. The camera is actually why I tried the S6. It's also why I loved it. Of course, I hated just about everything else on the S6 (even the international unlocked version I bought).
I guess we'll see whether the camera, which is the most important part of the phone for me (kids, animals) ends up being bad enough to seek another phone with a better one.
Your thoughts after using it for a few days?
Don't have mine yet. (Thanks huawei) but hopefully some Google updates can make this a better experience for you. I know the nexus 5 had some updates that improved the camera a bit.

Is this problem with moving subjects with hdr on?
Because if I'm not mistaken, Google camera has some cool but heavy post processing on photos taken with hdr+ and even the capture itself seems a bit slow at times.
This on my Nexus 5 and from what I've seen in videos it's the same pretty much with the 6p. It gives awesome results once you learn how to use it, I've taken some epic shots with my N5 and the camera is crappy.
Just don't use it for moving scenes.
I ended up writing too much xD
So, is this issue with regular hrd off shots also?
Yeah, definitely check HDR is off for motion. That and lots of light. Even with the bigger pixel size, these camera sensors are tiny and have no chance with motion in low light.
I'm actually curious about more opinions on this. I just listed my Note 5 because I had a Nexus 5 before and I want to go back to Nexus with the 6P. The camera doesn't matter that much to me because I use a DSLR for any pictures I actually care about. I'm sure it's still a massive improvement over the Nexus 5 camera I had for years, hah.
I had the s6 and note 5. I will agree that the note 5 is the better of the two, however it's not miles ahead of the 6p. If I graded them on a scale 1 to 100, the note 5 would be 95 and the nexus 6p would be an 90
Got one today. My impression is by far best nexus phone. Only thing i wish thr power button was more stiff its too light.

That's kind of how I feel. The Note 5 is very likely the best phone on the market right now, but it's still not a Nexus. And while I like the Exynos hardware, you're stuck with the lack of software. I feel like the screen is by far the best part of the Note though, so I was quite surprised to hear the same screen on the 6P or else I might have waited in the first place.
I'm in love with mine. Just arrived today. Screen is beautiful. Signal/radio is far superior to Samsung....even better than my Busted G3, and I haven't had service this good since I used HTC. Size is bigger than I would have liked. But I knew it was big going in. G3 was about my limit...and this is a tad larger. I'll get used to it. Love the bigger screen but it's just a tad to big for one hand all the time. Fingerprint sensor is flawless for me. Camera seems fine so far for me, but my complaint is the higher resolution photos are only 4:3, not 16:9. Battery life will take a few days to test. I thought I might have to root and rom because I hate the menu set up on my Nexus 7 (2013) but this is ok for me. No complaints.
BTW to the OP...the top and bottom bezels are for the speakers. No bottom speaker, than I would bet smaller bezel.
The Note 5 certainly does have the best hardware. As for the best phone that is subjective. The nexus P is certainly a great contender and at it's price point it is a superior device. No, it isn't the "best" in every category. Neither is the Note 5 or any device for that matter. All depends on what you're looking for. If you don't care about updates, development and the issues that plague samsung phones (memory management for one) then by all means get one. It is a solid device. One of the best out there.
What kept me from buying Samsung is development sucks for them, they lock down devices on the two best carriers in the USA and I'm tired of the Touchwiz bloat. Oh and its almost twice the price. If those were not true I'd gladly give Samsung my money again.
The Nexus P is a very well built device with a display that is very close to the Note 5, a very good camera, great battery life, excellent performance and you are guaranteed to have excellent development here and updates from Google.
Pick which one is more important to you.
I'm the same as the OP in the sense I came to the 6p after 6 frustrating months with the s6.
The screen, camera size and design of the s6 is pretty amazing. Excellent in all regards. But the software... Awful. Multitasking was impossible and touchwiz just annoyed me.
The 6p software is pure and fast. Excellent.
But I agree the camera and screen aren't in the same league as the s6 really.

exactly, the note5 is a great phone however if you want stock, are sick of waiting for updates, AND are stuck with one that can't be rooted depending on your carrier you'll move to the 6p like i did.

Also coming from an S6..
The S6 screen, form factor and stock e-mail app (Exchange still sucks on Gmail) are the only things I'll miss (Maybe the Camera but I really haven't used the 6P Camera much to make that judgement).
The positives though outweigh the negatives.. much stronger latch on to wifi and mobile signal compared to the S6. Places where I would drop out of wifi completly on the s6 still give me 3-4 bars on the 6p. Software.. so much smoother than touchwiz (I'd forgotten how buttery stock android really is). Everything about the device feels faster as a result of the software even though specs wise the S6 out-guns the 6p. Battery life is awesome compared to the S6 - no more mid-day charge required.
I still dream of another Samsung Nexus...
The only bother I have is the screen has a rainbow reflection and I can't read it in my car or in the sun
The only thing that's bugging the hell out of me is the bezels but that's just because the Nexus 6 bezels were so small other than that I'm loving it

I was also vary impressed of the sound quality from just out of the box. I’ve all was prefer stock android but one of the main reasons that I root my phones was to use Viper but now I have been thinking that I’ll won't have to.
BTW:
Headphone - Bose
Bluetooth Earbuds - JayBird X
Only complaint so far is the volume and power buttons being in the middle. the first thing I did was unlock decrypt and root . Plugging in and unplugging the cable I would always hit the power button which sucked when I was in bootloader mode and I plug my cable in and damn the phone is booting because my hand touched the power button. other than that this phone is ace . I need my other cases to come in. I had two verus cases but they weren't cut right so I sending them back for a return.
I'm coming from a oneplus one so I'm sure the camera will be better when mine arrives lol
I`m using this as my work phone, probably the best built Android Device I have ever used. I mainly use iOS devices, but this Nexus 6p is maybe the first Android device I could see my self using as a daily driver assuming I did not use iOS for personal use. Great Device, I had the LG G4 and the S6 edge earlier this yr and enjoy the build quality on this far more, but I will say the s6 has the best phone I used all year on a phone in comparison to the g4, 6p and the 6s+ I use as a personal phone.
I'd like to get your thoughts on whether it's worth upgrading from the G6?

I have both and yes 100% the v30 wins. Proof of ownership on pictures.
1. The v30 LED destroys the LCD of the g6
2. The call and Bluetooth quality is way better.
3. Speed and I mean speed difference is very noticeable.
Which I truly wouldn't have thought would have been noticeable considering the same 4gb of ram. But man the 835 is optimized way better vs the 821.
4. Camera is much better mostly due to the g6 stock camera app and the way it over processes everything and water color washed out if you zoom at all.
5. Smoother scrolling period across all apps.
6. Bezel ratio is better. They moved the LG logo to back off phone vs the bottom of screen.
7. All versions come with quad-dac
8. Can use a larger rugged case without making phone feel huge. Currently using Spigen tough armor and it still feels very sleek and slim. While feeling secure in hand.
1. Point for the g6 and my "average" sized hands for a 5'8" 29year old male. The g6 is easier for one handed use.
That's my thoughts so far and I've had it 4 days. Feel free to ask questions I shall reply

8. Can use a larger rugged case without making phone feel huge. Currently using Spigen tough armor and it still feels very sleek and slim. While feeling secure in hand.
1. Point for the g6 and my "average" sized hands for a 5'8" 29year old male. The g6 is easier for one handed use.
That's my thoughts so far and I've had it 4 days. Feel free to ask questions I shall reply

Got my V30 yesterday and I absolutely agree with all posted above. The speed difference is so noticeable that I'm at a loss to understand how it's possible.
The Bluetooth audio is substantially better and syncs much quicker.
The size seems a better fit and while essentially the same size, it feels better in the hand.
Facial recognition, way cool!
Quad DAC is amazing.
I've had the G3, G4, V10, V20, G6 and now this. It's the most refined, complete phone I've ever owned. I will actually, date I say keep this phone for good. I view it as the pinnacle of hardware innovation.

Could you test mobile signal reception also? My G6 is pretty deluding in this...

I am leaning towards the Pixel since I prefer the hardware fingerprint. Also lack of the obnoxious indent on the screen.
Also am unsure about how massive the 6T is on paper. How does it compare to our 6P?

I'm still rocking the Nexus 6p. But I can't think why would you want to compare a old Nexus 6p with a recent device. Which is oneplus 6t am I right? The 6t is a killer by all means don't get me wrong. But I can't seem to waste that much money on a tech. I rather wait for the price to drop over time. But again 6p vs 6t really? Is like comparing note 4 over note 9 and what people is going to tell you, the same thing I'm telling. How in the world your going to compare a old device with a new device both being high end phones. Most people loves to have the latest tech and some don't because of the price or because they don't really need the latest tech. I went from the next Robin to Nexus 6 then 6p without comparing them. Only because I wanted a taste of those device. Pretty old devices but still worth it I'm my opinion. I'm just not that type of techy guy.
Btw- the 6t is great device if you have the money to buy go for it.
Its a monster. Maybe in a few years I'll grab one or Poco f1

Nexus 6P: 159.3 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm - weight 185 grams
One Plus 6T: 157.5 x 74.8 x 8.2 mm - weight 178 grams
I'm considering the 6T as a substitute to my 6P and I think the 6T would be easier to handle (less width equals easier handling, in my opinion). The difference in weight is probably not perceptible without a digital scale. It's slightly thicker but less than one millimeter shouldn't be a big deal.
Intersting. So the 6T would actually be easier to manage thna the 6P. Was concerned maybe the 6T would be enormous.
Went with the 6T. Reasons?
Pixel 3 XL I've concluded was not created for me. Google has made it clear to me, they don't care about me and don't care about the reasons why I loved the Nexus program. Google has clearly demonstrated to me they care more about iPhone users who have no interest in Android than me. Pixel 3 XL was not meant for me, it was meant for the few, very very few Verizon iPhone user who may be tempted to try the Pixel 3 XL.
I'm accustomed to large screen, so decided against Pixel 3. And Pixel 3 XL's design is the dumbest on the market now. Way to fail hard Google, morons at Google design team now.
Gorilla Glass 6. Because better glass is always a yes for me.
6T is the only phone out now that is affordable that can easily be rooted/bootloader unlocked w/o any hassle from OEM that supports T-Mobile's 66/71.
I love my headphones, but FiiO's new BTR1K with AKM DAC and low latency APT-x for no latency movie/gaming, problem solved.
The stereo speaker mod for OnePlus shows a lot of promise, so not worried about stereo speaker.
Pixel Cam ported to 6T and closes the gap between 6T and Pixel 3. And I plan to buy a real camera with the savings, and that camera will demolish Pixel/iPhone/Galaxy cameras combined. This war over phone cameras is the silliest thing ever, paying $500 additional dollars for the smallest difference vs buying a real camera? What a f'ing joke.
6T faceunlock is stupidly fast. Not worried about the fingerprint on screen any more.
Phone tech is moving rapidly, makes no sense for me to spend any more money than what the 6T costs right now, especially with 5G coming. When 5G is here, even then I refuse to pay $900 for a 6 inch weak computer.

lol..dude,you dont get it.he is not comparing phones with the 6P.Hes comparing the One Plus 6T vs Google Pixel 3.Hes just thinking and talking about his "next" device(and looks like the Oneplus 6T won).
either way, Ai
SMH he probably edited the thread because most definitely I saw Nexus 6p or the OnePlus 6t on the headline of the thread.
You probably got in here while he edited the op, so......... Cheers.
if you need camera, you know what you need)
Yup, 6T with Gcam. Working well.

How's the use comfort? Is it as I imagined it would be? That is, no problem coming from 6P?

Comfort is good. It does feel better in my hands. It is about the same height as 6P and it is narrower. Except more screen space. Good improvement. I have to use a case though, am a clutz, and the amazingly beautiful caseback is slippery. Spigen and official OnePlus cases fit great.
I am loving it. It feels like using a 6P except much faster with skupendous battery. It feels as if I got great value for my money and no issues with customizations.
Granted camera is still in development. OnePlus definitely lagging in AI for their camera software, lagging behind both Huawei and Google. Gcam port still going through growing pains, but the pics I am taking are much improved over 6P.
The only hiccup is headphone jack. While the USB dongle passive output sounds noticably better than 6P headphone jack. But, dongle is easy to misplace and forget. But eith BT 5.0 and Aptx Low Latency, maybe its time to make that switch.
Overall I do think for US T Mobile user there is no other phone that lives up to legacy of Nexus. That includes the Pixel 3.
So I've ventured back to android again wanting somewhat of a break from ios.
I decided to take the plunge on the note 10 but discovered that the majority of users don't get the snapdragon varient.... Which was some what of an annoyance considering it seems to be the better performing chip!
I've ordered a 7t Pro which arrives In the next few days and I'll highly expect I'll be returning the note.
Has anyone else come from the new note or tried it compaired to the 7tp?
For my uses (Gaming, Quick point and shoot camera, large screen) it makes massively more sense over the note 10.
Also... That refresh rate :victory:

Also - does anyone know if you can somehow stream the phone to Windows like the note can
I have a Note 10+5G. The 7T Pro is much smoother scrolling. I also prefer the color on the 7T pro. The one big advantage to the Note is the screen size. My work phone is a S10+ and that's closer to the 7T Pro size. Disadvantage of the Samsung phones is the horrible Bixby and UI. I prefer a closer to stock Android experience. I'm keeping both for now.

The Note doesn't seem to have that much of a bigger screen?!
How come you're keeping both lol?
Although if I could of gotten a note with the snapdragon processor I probably would of kept it

Well, the Note+ is 6.8" and the 7T Pro is 6.4". Not that big a difference but it seems bigger.
As to why plan to keep both... I've been buying 1+ phones since the beginning. I like the stability of the Samsung phones as daily drivers but like to mess with ROM's so I keep the Note for daily use and mess with the 7T Pro in my spare time. Also, I have an issue with buying the latest/greatest phones Since I never pay retail for a phone, and keep them in perfect condition, I sell many on Swappa and don't really lose much money. I don't make money but spending 50 bucks to play with a new phone for 3-6 months is worth it for me. It's basically my only hobby.

LOL. Not sure why the Note feels bigger when in reality, the difference is negligible.

After having the OnePlus now, is agree that the note still feels a lot bigger...I think it's the width that gives it that feeling.
Anyway ... Major remorse.... Note 10 plus was just the nicer feeling phone.

I feel the 7T Pro McLaren is a better overall device. Just wish I could get it on VZW's network. TM is horrible in my area.
I've been coming down the same road, currently staying with the Note10+, though.
I agree with the comments above that the 7TP is generally smoother and faster in handling, at least from the feeling. Actual game or app loading times are pretty comparable. My Note10+ is with Exynos CPU and it is less performant than the 855+, especially in graphic-intense applications like COD. A surprise was camera, as the Note10+ camera is in my opinion inferior to the one on the 7TP with GCAM.
As for size while the phones are pretty comparable in size the Note10+ screen "feels" bigger, maybe due to the more squareish appearance and the less pronounced curve in the edges . The 7TP is nicer in handling due to its more rounded corners, though.
I'll stay on the Note10+ for the time being and wait for the OP8...
