So the specs are being leaked all over the place if you haven't heard. The 2016 Nexus to come after the 6P is the Marlin, it will be made by HTC, will have a 5.5 inch quad HD display, no wireless charging, 4 GB of RAM, and possible the SnapDragon 821. Also is stated to have BOTTOM FIRING SPEAKER/S.
So will you upgrade or will you keep the 6P or will you go elsewhere for your 2016 phone?
I'm thinking I might stay on the 6P if the downgrade in screen size and the speakers is true.
NO I am disaapointed in these specs. @ 5.5 Inch screen - the One Plus blows this out of water

Yea, I was thinking about the One Plus 3. MKBHD says he upgraded that to his daily driver so it must be pretty good. But I like having the newest software and I'm sure they won't get updates as fast as the Nexus and they won't get the Developers Previews and Betas. This is the first phone that I don't feel the need to root.
No reason for an upgrade, nexus 6p is an excellent machine.
For enthusiasts - which we most likely are. Pls view the You Tube Launch of Mi Max - they show an analysis of screen sizes - 5.5 is the "most sold" device, but in larger devices 6.4 is the most sought after. IMHO Google has gone down to 5.5 in which is the wrong direction.
Now I hope you are all young, vile, and healthy in eyesight - personally I can stand to see a bigger device better - Currently my 6P is maxed out on both the font size and the screen size running beta for Nougat (dear God not even the name flows. call it Android N Beta)
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I don't mind the 5.7 vs 5.5 so much as I mind the bottom firing speakers, if true. I love the front facing stereo speakers on the 6P! That along would keep me from upgrading to the new Nexus if indeed true. The 6P is still a very capable device!
No and for no other reason than my phones have a 2-year life cycle. Excited for Nexus 2017. :victory:

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I will probably but not immediately. Will wait on the price to drop on the larger nexus because the rumored specs don't blow me away. I hope the rumors are false about no front facing speakers. HTC has some of the best speakers in the game don't know why they would not want to include them.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
No, not a chance, no front facing speakers or fingerprint reader on the back, I'm not buying.
No way with smaller screen, no front facing speakers, etc.
I really doubt it, my N5 and N6P are both working like a charm, I'm getting a Nexus only if one of the two I own dies, then hopefully I'll get a 2017 or 2018 model

It's supposed to have the fingerprint reader on the back.
I was more referring to any phone, all I knew is that I saw it wasn't coming with front facing speakers. I can't go back from this goodness. Ever.
Nah, still love the 6p, I think I'll skip this round. I'll still have another year of nexus protect left at that point anyway so if it dies I'll just get another.

No. Simply because after coming from dual front facing speakers I cannot go back to bottom firing crap. Maybe a lame reason, but it's a deal breaker for me now.

If Marlin (by HTC) is good enough for me, I will buy it in early 2017.
Nope, I just bought my 6p. It's such a great phone and I don't plan on upgrading any time soon.
it would rather be senseless to upgrade a phone which is just 1 year old!!! its not lik we arent gonna get updates n all plus we would not get a resale we expect and wil have to put in another 15000 INR for the new one dosent make sense!!!!

I think that it will be very useful for anyone who travels a lot....however I don't have a use for it yet lol
If it's dual 4G SIMs, rather than one being 3G/4G and the other 2G only, that will be even better.
Thus far many devices only offer dual LTE SIM slots on the higher end models (like the Huawei Honor 7, which only has it on the 64GB model).
Can't wait for this device to drop. I currently have the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, nexus 5 and nexus 6. The 6P will be my new daily driver

Why would you buy the new one? It's rumored to have the same 3gb RAM, smaller battery, smaller screen, same res screen, and a SD810 vs the SD805. I don't get it TBH, the new phone doesn't seem to be an improvement at all.

The Nexus 6P should be revised and better Nexus 6. Not night and day improvement, but a tighter phone.
- Higher DPI screen
- Rumored larger battery 3,450Mah
- Way better build quality over the Moto Nexus 6
- Nicer camera
- Fingerprint scanner
The Huawei Nexus should be a very nice phone. Possibly one of the best Android phones of 2015.
Any word if the new nexus devices will have encryption turned on by defualt? Hate that with the nexus 6
if the Nexus 6P really looks like the leaked images then i rather buy the Nexus 6 of 2014..
cause those leaked images look ugly as hell to me, but thats my opinion.
i am really undecided about buying the "old" nexus 6 that is very good priced (about 410 euros + 75 moneyback from motorola italy) or wait for the new one that will have probably an higher price.
now i am addicted to 5.5" of my oneplus and don't consider to go back to a smaller screen (nexus 5x i.e.).
the motorola offer ends on 30 september, so maybe won't be time for me to see the new nexus and decide to buy the old one....really hard choice
Staying with my 2014 Nexus6 for now! But will try some hands on once the new ones are available....
I had an N6 and have a G4, and whether I drop big $$ on the Huawei Nexus depends on two things: Storage, and availability. Those that remember how difficult it was to get an N6 when it first came out will know what I mean. If Google **** it up and have very limited amounts at release, then I will say screw it and will keep my other phones for a while, or buy a Z5 premium (since it's lethally close to stock Android - I love Sony's UI; it has a micro SD card too!)
I'm praying for micro SD card compatibility in the 6P, but that seems unlikely given the trend of Nexus devices. If we get 128gb of storage - I'm happy. Micro SD means we'll be able to transfer photos and music easier when we flash ROM's and what not, but I'll happily pay a few dollars extra to get more storage regardless. Hopefully those recent rumours about the 128gb internal storage is true, or we get micro SD card compatibility with 32gb of onboard storage.
IMO - the upcoming Nexus 6P is an upgrade if you're not looking for highly increased performance; after all - the 810 is not much of an upgrade from the 805 for gaming, and the 6P will still have 3 gigs of RAM (albeit, I don't understand how people can need more, I understand wanting it though). Those that use their phones for gaming and what not will not reap the benefits of the 6P so much. However, users like me that enjoy a fluid UI (not that the N6 is not fluid, but the 6P is bound to be a tad bit more fluid) and a fingerprint scanner for added security - it'll be a slight upgrade.
Very true...getting an N6...in white and 64gb at launch was next to impossible... More so here in Canada and it really pissed me off.
Nexus launches have always been bad but last year was the worst... I hope the learned from it.

You guys must have forgotten about the historically bad Nexus 4 release ?
The Nexus 4 made the OnePlus One launch look great LOL.
Nexus 4 was nowhere to be found anywhere until like late Jan / early Feb, when it was released in November. It was pretty much out of stock everywhere for 3 months. And when it did go back on sale, was literally sold out again in 30 seconds.
I would expect the Nexus 6P to be bad again. I bet Google underestimates the demand for this one, and expects most to go with the LG Nexus 5X.
I paid 759$ for my sprint n6 to use on att in mid Oct and it was hard to find now have the g4 and just got the moto x pure edition still have 2 n6s just in case I don't like the pure ed lol

From what I know, this was at a Google event in India. He doesn't have the phone for personal use. This was probably a shared unit that Google gave to the press so they could have an "unboxing video" for the public. You can even see the seal is broken before he starts to open it.

I called Google and spoke to the rep because I ordered a graphite 128gb Sep 30th and my card is still missing the money after 13 days now and the lady says they are sold out of that model so I need to wait until they build more wtf...Google really if you didn't have the phone why was I able to order it. Then she said we didn't expect to sell this many, so you expected to do bad.
He may have got the phone because he said he opened it previously to making the video. I asked about that and she some third party vendors may have got them already. I'm lost with how they go about selling these phones makes no sense.

Yes but the 6P has a smaller screen and is still taller. I had the 6 it was a massive phone and i got rid of it pretty quick. Hoping the 6P has a better /more manageable feel. As of now i have the 5x and 6p ordered so ill wait to pass judgment.
In all the details I've seen when in hand it looks very manageable!

The phone does not come with earphones?
So something was on my mind and I thought I would spill on XDA...
Im a phone junkie. Ive probably had most major flagship devices pass through my hands. But theres something about the 6P.
6 Months ago in May i got my first 6p. I am also a guy who has 2 phones. One to tinker and one to have as my daily driver. The year before i had bought a Moto X Style and I loved the device. Was bloody amazing! But the battery life didnt do it for me so decided to look to the future and went with a Nexus 6P. At that time my daily driver was the S7 Edge.
So August rolls around and the Note 7 is announced & released. The UK got it 2 weeks later than the US. Unfortunately I got rid of my S7 Edge for it while keeping my Nexus 6P. I was one of the unlucky people who got a Note 7 before it was recalled and subsequently had my Note 7 almost blow up on me. I got a replacement and very quickly I saw the Note 7 had been discontinued and the device had to be returned In replacement, I got a Iphone 7 256Gb which I lasted 36 hours with before I couldnt take it anymore and traded it to CEX.
So with my favourite series of devices recalled and with my change to a device that I couldnt get on with, I was in open market to buy a new phone. I had the choice between anything that CEX had Android wise. They even had a Moto Z on the day I went to see them, but heres why i decided to buy the Nexus 6P in 128Gb while still having my 32 Gb edtion.
1) Its Nexus... Pure Android with no lag at all.

These devices to me are still relevant in the market and im not bothered about the SD810 issues. My devices never run that hot. Plus add in the fact that I get unlimited tethering, these devices for me are why I love android. These kill the Iphone IMHO.
Congratz, one for each hand! they are classics!
I read the title and i was like "Well do enlighten me, why do you have two nexus 6P".
Not disappointed.
I actually though of a Samsung S7 when I went to buy my 6P, but the screensize wasn't what I expected (I wanted a bigger screen and the edges took some space off it one way or another), ended up with the 6P which was always my first considered choice.
I gotta ask though, why do you say the Note 7 almost blew up on you? Did you experience any problems that would suggest that would happen?

Long story but....
My N7 died on me randomly while i was using it... The software died. I tried flashing Custom Rom Nothing... TWRP would boot but would freeze
Used kies to restore software, but even that didnt work. My device then began emitting a burning smell. I managed to power down the device and make it safe..
I sent it Sammie after they got in contact with me, they sent out another device. Then the full recall happened a second time. I almost ended up like all those other devices you see burned out.
FWIW I call them the twins xd
First off, let me say I am a phone addict. Haha. In the last 11 months I have owned 4 Nexus 6P's. I keep coming back to them. Right now I have one along with my S7 edge. If the edge was a bit smoother, especially with a SD820, it would be a near perfect phone.
Sent from my SM-G935U using Tapatalk
I had a Note7 when it first launched and was very disappointed when I had to return it due to the recall. The one I received got so hot to the touch when charging I didn't want to take the chance of it exploding. I loved the phone but I went and got a 7 Plus as my personal phone instead. But I missed android and having owned and returned a Nexus 6P for the Note7 I decided I wanted it back. So when it came time to choose a work phone it was no question that I went for a 6P. The stock android experience is the best and I didn't realize how much I missed it until I got the 6P back in my hands.

I am thinking about 2nd hand Samsung S7, HTC 10 , OnePlus 3 , Pixel XL.
(I think my 6P battery start degraded.)
Its just an amazing device
I have an S7 Edge also and keep going back to the 6P. I love the screen on the S7E but the curved screen I keep touching with my fingers holding it and stuff goes haywire, It's maddening. I don't find the battery life on the S7E that great (as some do). I'm not a heavy user so it bothers me to drop 50-60% during the day when I've done virtually nothing with the device but some hangouts messages, texts and a couple conf calls. It will last all day, just bothers me draining that much with little use
I'm actually thinking of getting a second one. Maybe a 128gb version this time. I just look at the new pixel and I'm not excited. I was more intrigued by the HTC 10 to be honest.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
With the Pixels system software now available on the 6P and 7.1.1 running much better than 7.0 ,i find very little reason to splash out $1000 on a Pixel. The 6P is still very flagship at the end of 2016, it's still good for another year. If it had OIS it'd be perfect.

Hi guys,
This is my short story why I buy my a second Nexus 6P.
I killed my old Nexus 6P with 128gb in Turkey and I was from end January until August in Turkey. When I was back I think which phone I should buy. My favorites are the HTC 10 (HTC Boy since HTC Desire => M9, Oneplus3 and the Nexus 6p. OnePlus have no AOSP, the HTC 10 los the beautiful design with the fingerprint sensor at the front. Than I remember my old Nexus 6P and the nice community (thanks to all devs). Now I have bought a new Nexus 6P with 64Gb. Maybe next year a new HTC with fingerprint sensor on the back or the Pixel
Hey all,
Like some other fellow Nexus 6P users here I'm sure you are getting curious of what other phones are out there, that can please our every geeky need.
But I just can't fine one - everything I want is in this phone!
I have been looking around but yet I always keep drawing up a pro's and con's list in my mind and can't help but sum up the 6P as having:
- Great battery life (once tweaked accordingly)
- Dual speakers
- Perfect display
- Fast and reliable
- Great size
- Access to latest Google updates
- Great camera (the best I've had on a smartphone)
- Etc.
Though despite all this, the desire to at least 'window-shop' and look around for the next greatest phone is still there. The new Xiaomi Mi Mix looks interesting, as I feel like I could go bigger on the screen size. Same with the Phab 2 Pro, the 6.4" size appeals to me but then seemingly I'd lose out on the great camera (low light especially) and the dual speakers.
Anyways I thought I'd start a thread to hear some other opinions on this, if any other released/to be released phone has almost got you swayed into parting with the beloved...
Sorry
But calling Nexus 6p screen perfect
That's weard
The screen is ****
Really old AMOLED with bad colours
Coming from a 2013 Droid MAXX, the screen is perfect for me. Guess for someone coming from a Samsung Galaxy would feel differently.. but yes, this phone is just about perfect. I especially like the camera's low light capabilities.

Haha.. glad to see I'm not the only one who looking for another phone but hard to decide bc I too love my 6P.
Been thinking of the One plus 3 not really a upgrade but something different but waiting on the One plus 4 . But it's gotta have good Dev support and the One plus definitely has that.
But still looking at others as well.. undecided bc my 6P has been a perfect fit for what I like in a phone :/

I too am pretty dang content with my 6P, esp. with some of the "Pixel exclusive" features we've gotten
However, I won't deny that the 4GB/821 specs inside the Pixel XL are tempting at times...but I'm thinking I'll either get my wife a normal Pixel to upgrade her GS6 edge and wait to get myself whatever comes out next year, or just wait on both of us till then. I'm not as against the Pixel as some, but I'll admit that $870 (+ tax) for a 128GB, similarly-sized phone is a bit of a tough pill to swallow for me personally lol
I had the pixel for a a few days and returned it because the price difference to performance from the 6p felt negligible to me. 7.1.1 on the 6p fixed a lot of quirks I had and flashing the pixel stuff over made me more than content to keep the 6p thru this year. Looking forward to seeing what HTC has in store for their next flagship.

Indeed, that price tag is a hefty one and one that I cannot justify spending.... at least not yet anyway. I would miss the larger screen and the speakers, being the real tangible difference. Like you say, features have/will come our way with software updates, but I really do appreciate a great sound and nice sized display - yet to find this elsewhere though!!?
The "bezel-less" Xiaomi Mi MIX does look like a nice phone. So that may tick the box of size, but would the screen quality be as nice? And the speakers? And the low light camera capabilities?? Not sure on that one...
The Huawei Honor Note 8 looks good too, very big screen which I think I'd like, but overall just don't think I'd be as happy as I am now.....
Dam restlessness eh!!
I'm definitely glad I went with the 6p also. I don't mind spending the money upgrading. Was looking at note 7 or iPhone 7 plus. But the price for the Pixel xl to me I couldn't do. I just can't put the Pixel in the same category as the other phones.

lol do you own a Nexus 6P? The display is the exact same as the Galaxy S7 screen. They only difference is the S7 screen is set a few nits brighter. Deep blacks, vibrant popping colors and great contrast. Maybe you have sRBG turned on for "true colors"? If not maybe you just have a sub-standard quality display on your phone.
there is no doubt to the nexus 6p is good device but not the best in my opinion! maybe so hard to believe but my ex device (htc M8-32 g) is far better! at the least for me!
here is some reason: I've multi rom with 3 base of Android (kitkat/lollipop/Marshmallow) and switch between the without any issues. (sense rom, google play or CM base rom doesn't matter! all of them work perfect!)but if this don't convince you let me tell you the custom sense rom developers in htc really perfect (most definitely the Viper rom of Venom groups plus insertcoin roms and sky dragon roms) having too dozens options for customize and in the end better quality of speakers and headphones sounds and have a great sound batch like Harman/Kardon sound batch and no come up short in battery even with a smaller size of battery and too smooth without any lag. may rest in peace my dear M8! ??

there is no doubt to the nexus 6p is good device but not the best in my opinion! maybe so hard to believe but my ex device (htc M8-32 g) is far better! at the least for me!
here is some reason: I've multi rom with 3 base of Android (kitkat/lollipop/Marshmallow) and switch between the without any issues. (sense rom, google play or CM base rom doesn't matter! all of them work perfect!)but if this don't convince you let me tell you the custom sense rom developers in htc really perfect (most definitely the Viper rom of Venom groups plus insertcoin roms and sky dragon roms) having too dozens options for customize and in the end better quality of speakers and headphones sounds and have a great sound batch like Harman/Kardon sound batch and no come up short in battery even with a smaller size of battery and too smooth without any lag. may rest in peace my dear M8! ����

That phone does look like a nice one for its time, there's nothing wrong in holding love still for such a device! I'm in the same love for the 6P right now, for me, the best its been ever for a mobile device. But as theres only so many roms to try, my flashoholic nature starts wanting to wander into the 'next device' territory......whatever that may be haha
I'm keeping an eye on the Huawei Mate 9 Pro up coming announcement November 4th...

I'm definitely glad I went with the 6p also. I don't mind spending the money upgrading. Was looking at note 7 or iPhone 7 plus. But the price for the Pixel xl to me I couldn't do. I just can't put the Pixel in the same category as the other phones.

The Pixel XL is the same price as the iPhone 7 Plus. It may not be worth the money to some but it is the best Android phone to date. The 6p is great I still have mine but the Pixel XL is fantastic. If you like Android and could spend the money on an iPhone 7 Plus but not the Pixel XL. You need to get your hands on one and play with it. If you can get a 6p cheap it is hard to beat for the money.

If you are into rooting/modding, you can easily fix this with a custom kernal to your liking.
Answer the op. Nothing beats Huawei mate 8(soon 9) when it comes to overall phone but you have other issues to deal with. While im waiting for the Mate 9 to release and after I broke my Mate 8 I had to find a phone to hold me over.
Nexus 6p
Lg v10 and maybe g3./4
Note 5 but doesnt have enough storage for me.
Couple of other chinese phones but you lose lte most of the time.
Nothing really unless you want baby note aka s6/s7 edge.
For my personal taste, maybe axon 7 if the community is behind it. Note 7 if that whole thing didnt happen.
edit- If an updated version of the 6p ever released with half the top/bottom bezels, It would be the goat. Any htc is not in the same realm as 6p
My 6P battery was degraded. I think to change to another phone.
But I still finding...... :silly::silly::silly:
Sorry but the Nexus/Google phones have one thing that will keep me....Project Fi with CDMA-GSM LTE Switching. No other phone can do it because the software just isn't there.

lol do you own a Nexus 6P? The display is the exact same as the Galaxy S7 screen. They only difference is the S7 screen is set a few nits brighter. Deep blacks, vibrant popping colors and great contrast. Maybe you have sRBG turned on for "true colors"? If not maybe you just have a sub-standard quality display on your phone.

Samsung devices have a "SUPER AMOLED" and the difference is noticeable. I came from a note 4 (2014 release) to a nexus 6p(2015 release) and I saw the difference in screen right away. Nothing beats a Samsung Galaxy screen, even if the nexus uses a Samsung amoled screen. I can barely see anything on this screen in the sun, which was never a problem for my note 4. Other than that, nexus 6p is a solid device.. I got it for $330 for the 64gb gold. I probably wouldn't have paid more than $350 for this device thou. Definitely feels like a downgrade from my 1 year older note 4 (sadly I broke it).
Coming from a lg v10 I was decided between a lg v20 and this phone so I bought the 32gb 6p then I'm like ok this phone is awesome but I had one problem. Internal storage was only 25gb on the 32gb variant I filled it up within a week or two then I'm like ok great phone I'm getting 128gb. I bought my fiance the lg v20 it is a awesome but the roms available for the Nexus 6p is way better than the lg v10 or 20 I had the lg v10 before this 6p. The difference is amazing, the lg v10 was slower and couldn't even keep up with me.
The only thing better than the 6p is a 6p with 12hrs SOT

Discussion about the new Axon 7
Honestly, the camera is the only viable upgrade needed in this phone. The processor gains aren't worth the hassle IMO. Maybe battery, maybe backlit capacitive buttons..
Just the battery would do it ... I take it any time
Since I do that want to renew my contract Whit att it's. Good option

I hope it does mean more support for standard axon 7
No axon 8 right now. It's Axon 7s. Confirmed by tech folks in the know
Well seems the differences it's not only on SOC
Better camera and bigger battery capacity too.

Too bad it doesn't appear to support all USA LTE bands.
I'm only hoping that it has the same battery size ( eg. dimensions) so we could get "original" extended battery.
The big questions are:
1. Will it be available globally ?
2. What about the price ?
Also it seems to be much more like OP3T with bigger screen and better audio and double cam (may not be better)
Will it blend ? Who knows...
What about the software? We all know that android 7 Beta became official one and they didn't fix all major issues, such as atos option not working. Any thoughts on this?
Duel camera setup sounds awesome
I would waiting Axon 8 where ever unveiled and not that version.
I think within summer ZTE will release successor of Axon 7 unless want Onleplus 5 to have 100% the only attention of users all around world at 400-450$€ market segment category.

Hardly confirmed by anyone who this phone is for. First leak/article said it was only for Government Agencies with a security focus.
Has anyone gotten it?
