Nexus 6p Available In Gold! - Nexus 6P General

I'm having regrets from not waiting ;(

Soooo anyone wanna trade my black one for this one ??
To be fair Google did say it wasn't coming to NA.

I like the gold 6p but only if it’s a solid metal color like my aluminum 6p and not a paint on gold color that can chip and rub off like the black and white.

I bought an aluminum 6P last Wednesday because I figured the gold version wasn't coming here for another few months.. I got the delivery exactly 24 hours before this news. I wanted the gold one!

Yuck!!!
Bling Bling Bling !!!!
I'll pass.

you should totally try to exchange it… I would but I have had my 6p since November 1 2015

If it´s the same sort of Aluminum used, I would not care at all The dark Nexus 6p looks awesome in a Spigen Rugged Armor. The only downside is the build quality of the case, it´s already slightly warped. I would only change my Nexus 6p if Huawei releases a new revision with a stronger Aluminum body..

I like my Stormtrooper thank you very much. Not saying this doesn't look nice, but Frost is still the best.

The term gold should be used loosely! Not even close...

Cant get it in 128 gb though! FAIL!

i prefer my white version
i dont see what the fuss is about gold phones

mmmm very tempting. thinking of exchanging my frost one with gold one to match my gold iphone6s plus. love gold...

Returning my Nexus 6P 128gb aluminum. Going gold 64gb

I bought a 64GB 6P for $50 off an hour before the sale ended from the Google Store. When I asked if I could exchange it for the gold, I was told to send the device back and I would get a full refund which means I wouldn't get enough back to cover the 64GB gold one, only the 32GB. I still have a couple of weeks to return it but I might just break down and buy the gold then send the aluminum back after.

Looks ugly as sh*t. Frost ftw

Wow that looks awesome! Would you be willing to do a little review when you've broken it in a bit? I was really thinking about getting this case but decided to wait and see what others thought first.

Damn nice!
take some pics with it... another thread i read, said that it leaves an orange ring in the photos..... im lookin at gettin that exact one.. love the color.. plus i hunt, and i'd be able to find it if i dropped it in the woods!
I ordered mine 10/3 Outland, I hope I have mine. Did you get a tracking number? Shipping notification?
Sent from my mobile device.
yes I did received a shipping notification for what I saw in the other thread they are shipping orange and black only no white and blue what color you order ?
Looks great! I can't wait to get home. My tracking notice shows that mine is "out for delivery". Hopefully sitting on my doorstep when I get home! I'm currently using one of the caseology cheap cases I bought off Amazon. It doesn't really fit correctly, hoping that this one fits as good as it looks.
Received my outland for my black note 3 ..case fits and feels even better than the uag for note 2...I'm liking the case so much I may consider getting another color..which other colors do you guys suggest for a black note 3? Also anybody think one of those bunker rings would go good on the uag????

I received mine. Never got a shipping notification though. Fits good, dunno why orange would show up in a picture since around the camera is black

Dbrand Skins

I'm contacting @dbrandSkins to see if they are going to make skins for the Nexus 6. Would anyone be interested in getting one? I have a dbrand skin my G3 and its really nice, I hope we can get some good ones made for the Nexus 6 and 9.
Maybe at some point. I bought one for my N4 and really liked it. I will probably have the N6 in a case for awhile, though.

I bought 2 sets of skins for my White N5. They had a manufacture defect in that they sized the skin off of the black, which was slightly different from the white N5. They were prompt to exchange it.
I won't be buying any skins for my N6. Dbrand was great in their customer service to fix the issue but I feel a faux or cheapness to applying a decal to an expensive phone.
Ofcourse waiting for them to make the skin. Happy to make them rich!

Frost and Aluminum pics

Pics Just for those who might be on the fence which colour to go for.
Pics taken with iPhone 6s Plus
I prefer frost colour personally but that maybe due to having HTC for last few years just needed different colour.
More pics taken with moto x style

Frost is the one one left? I'm not sure why but operators only sell graphite and aluminum right now in Finland.

Not sure that is true, most of the polls on here had people going for the Frost least of the three I think...but the fact that 32GB was not available in Frost may also be factor in that.
I believe no one from get huawei has even gotten their frost shipped yet.
How do they feel in the hand? Any difference from each other? Reason why I'm asking is because of the extra coat with the frost potentially giving off a less premium metal feel.
For instance, Htc one m9 gunmetal as opposed to the silver model gives a different feel to the device due to the coating process on the gun metal. Silver feels much more premium.

I asked this in another forum, see below:
How is frost look & feel? in one of the review on youtube said it's said it feels plasticky..I am waiting for my 128gb frost..
Well that's kind of silly because all three colors are made of the same material. If you were blindfolded you wouldn't be able to tell the different colored phones apart from one another. It feels the same as the back of my M7 except a bit smoother.
As far as how it looks, I like it a lot. It's not WHITE white like a lot of white plastic phones are because it's metal, so it kind of looks kind of like they took the aluminum-colored one and bleached it so its very nearly white, but still retains the metallic look and feel.
Thanks, how do you feel about the black camera hump, also does the frost color makes the phone more slippery?
The hump physically protrudes way less than early pictures would have us believe, but with the smorgasbord of reviews and videos that are out now you can see how big the hump actually is. I like the black, it gives a nice contrast with the frost back.
I only have the frost, so I can't compare slippery-ness with the other 6P colors, but I can't see how the color would make a big difference here. That said, it's a metal phone, it is slippery. When I first got my M7 which was the first metal phone I owned, I was amazed at how slippery it was. If this is your first metal phone, you'll definitely notice it, if you've owned one(s) in the past, then you should know what to expect.
Thanks for the serial numbers maybe take the images down and remove the numbers

The frost back has a smoother feel in the hand even though the aluminium looks more premium. However i prefer the frost look.

Skin for grip

Hey.
I try, but I hate cases/covers.
Was looking for some skins to use in the back to make the phone less slippery, like dbrand skins.
But can't seem to find any for the Mi 9. Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, we have no plans to support the Xiaomi line, as there is simply not enough demand to justify adding it to our portfolio at this time. Sorry about that. Let us know if there is anything else we can help with, and have a great day!

I have these skins for my Mix 3 and they're very nice. Currently have the black carbon fiber on. Thick, great texture, stick to the phone well and very grippy-- great for making the phone much less slippery while keeping the appearance top notch. They come with side protection too.
The negative is you have to buy a minimum of three at $25. That's not a bad price for 3 quality skins but they're so tough and with such good stickiness that I don't think I'll need more than one! Just purchased them for my Mi 9 too.

Hello!
I got my skin from donicesky com and it's great
I'm assuming these skins will glue to the back of the phone, but how hard is it to remove them afterwards? Is the glue super strong?
Most use an sticky but easy to remove adhesive. I recently found a Indonesian company that sells 3M skins for the Mi9.
Here is a link
