Thinking of switching from my Pixel 5inch to the G6.
Actually I could do a straight trade.
If you have done it, is it worth it?
What is better or worse?
I am interested in battery life and performance? Is it as smooth as the Pixel?
For G6, SoT around 6hrs or little more depending on settings, UI very smooth imho. Design of the G6 is lovely, I don't like the massive bezels on Pixel but that's a personal thing.

The bezel for sure is my least favorite thing. Thing is I went through 4 Pixels with RMA, I am little tired of it.
G6 is my first LG and its brilliant, I'm very chuffed thus far, been 2 months.

I had pixel xl and i sold it and bought g6 . everything is better on g6 but the camera i feel like it was better on pixel xl . but the battery is much better on g6
The G6 is not even nearly as smooth as a Pixel regardless of what some people say.
I have and love both. But honestly the Pixel can't be beat. That phone is unbelievable. I switched because I have weirder than normal needs. My phones are paid for and used for work.. So I have to have a REAL e-mail, contacts, Calendar client for office 365(or whatever it's called). None of the apps work like the skinned phones clients do. I also love Quick memo and have years of notes saved to it.
But if i didn't need my phone for work I would be back to the pixel in a second flat. But since i need a skinned phone i love the G6.
Bit the bullet and Got G6. I can agree that UI fluidity is not even close to the Pixel. However it's still likely better then S8.
Hopefully LG can do something about it.

I've had an S8+ and it actually has much smoother scrolling than the G6 which surprised me a fair bit. However the S8 feels slower overall and more laggy, except the camera that can lag a lot on the G6. But scrolling performance was indeed a lot better on the Sammy.

Yeah it had performance drops in framerates specially when going back to the homescreen and it would stutter randomly, still scrolling performance beats the G6 by a fair bit. I found the G6 to stutter too much for my taste I'm going to sell mine.

Have you tried a factory reset and all that? KDZ load?
I'm going to use this at least until Pixel 2. I had my pixel replaced 3 times, it has its own issues even if lag is not one of them.
For some reason I don't really want the S8.
Thought about the OP5 but I don't want to downgrade in some ways like then screen or camera.

I returned both my S8+ phones because of Amoled issues. I can never ever get a good Amoled screen. It was the same with the S7 Egde. 4 of them and not one single good enough screen always some visual defect. Crappy Samsung Amoled I start to hate them really. Going with my iPhone from now on instead it never gives me headaches.
Yes, I did factory reset.

I guess LG needs to update from Android 7.0 to 7.1.1 as 7.1.1 might solve scrolling or stuttering problems like the frame rate goes down ocassionaly. The Pixel might be very smooth because it's got 7.1.2 (I'm not sure the latest Android version solved some problems) Imagine the upcoming LG V30! It'll run on SD 835 on top of LG's UX 6.0 running Android 7.1.2 that might make the LG V30 a favorite beast for years to come. That also makes the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 boring.

OPs have some of the best image Quality as they are very 'hands off' in terms of their processing engine, I had the OP2 and its camera was the best I'd seen in Android at the time. I see the OP3 camera was also stellar so am sure the OP5 will continue in that vain

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.

Hmm then it is a shame that we have such diffeent experiences with this phone - the colours, for me, are perfect - no tweaking of them required. The blacks are black with no 'bleeding'. Absolutely great for me...

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! ??
sure I know the nexus 6p's camera to far better than M8 but I'm not a mobile camera user and need very rarely to it
however I like my nexus 6p and one of the best device I'd

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

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.

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
I decided to get a mint black HTC 10 from swappa, sooo much smaller and everything else is just as great. miss HDR+ but love everything about it. thanks for all your help everyone!
ORIGINAL POST BELOW
So I love my 6P, battery life if not so great but I absolutely love the camera! as do most friends and family always saying my pics look amazing!
Anyway, I really hate having a large brick (nexus 6p) in my pocket. I thought in time I would adjust but it's been over a year and I still dislike how large it is -__- so question is simple.... what phone 5 inch ish would you switch too? as far as camera's go, right now I think Moto G5 Plus is the closest thing (with wide pixels 1.4um) but it seems the phone is kinda big also.
Fire away and help a brother out with phone recommendations! Thanks!

Well every single review says otherwise, and as someone who takes a lot of photos in different conditions, even my s6 edge blew it out of the water. You can subjectively feel how you want, but you're factually wrong.

if u can afford a google pixel then go ahead if not i advice with the Nexus 5x, it has a wonderful camera especially with the HDR+ . but if u want a bigger size then go for the Oneplus 3T. but staying in google phones would be better to keep having the latest software updates.

The V30 battery is okay. It's not the best I've seen in a device but it charges so fast, that's hardly an issue for me.
IPhones do generally get good battery life, I've got a 7 Plus as well as my V30. However, it takes forever to charge it. Even using the iPad charger.

I just got rid of an iPhone 7 and it had the worst battery of any phone I've ever owned. It was my first and last iPhone. Glad I'm coming back to Android with the V30

I got okay battery with the 7 Plus. However, that was the only positive.

I went through three SE models with logic board issues, 6s with battery recall, 6 that got bent in my purse, 5s that had dead pixels like crazy out of the box. It all got topped off by my 7 Plus having the Intel modem and I got practically no signal... Anywhere!

The V30 battery is okay. It's not the best I've seen in a device but it charges so fast, that's hardly an issue for me.
IPhones do generally get good battery life, I've got a 7 Plus as well as my V30. However, it takes forever to charge it. Even using the iPad charger.

Sorry for your kinda bad experience with v30, but judging from the videos and articles people share, v30 has the best battery life among the phones that came out this year. Maybe you need to disable or uninstall some battery draining apps

I just found this review today, the first one I saw saying the battery life is a cons
https://www.pcmag.com/review/355846/lg-v30
The 3,300mAh battery is disappointing. We only got 4 hours, 46 minutes of LTE streaming (full-screen video at maximum brightness) on one battery charge, much shorter than with competing phones. The Galaxy S8, for instance, lasts 5 hours and 45 minutes, and we consider that to be merely average. Most new phones will get you around 7 or 8 hours.

Different tests give different results and it could be a device with a bad battery... idk

Hmm [emoji848] that's very surprising. Majority of reviews actually mention how great the battery life is, most say it's way better than note 8 for example. Yet again like you said, different test might have different results. But for me actual mobile phone websites and reviewers are more trustworthy

I'm trying. It's been a while since I've run Android as my daily driver. Each time I come across a suggestion to save battery, I'm changing it. I always got good battery on my Note 3 but it was never stock. For some reason I can't get Facebook to stop pushing notifications, I've got them blocked in the app settings and on the phone. I'm about to delete this crap!
Yeah, facebook is one of the most battery and ram consuming apps [emoji19] I hope you can find your perfect set up on your v30

I never ever run FB as an app. I load it up as a page in the browser and then don't let it push browser notifications. Out of all the things on the internet, I trust FB the least.
When buying phones I always check for its model and if it has lots of ROMs/Kernels because that's the first thing I install once I got it.
Asked because, it's hard to find an H850 here. F700 and H860 is most common one but looking on the ROMs section H850 is almost always present on the titles.
Is H860 or F700 fine?
I don't think those have any roms at all - the other 2 besides H850 with some development are H830 and RS988 (or something like that?).

The only reason I want custom ROM/Kernel is undervolting and sometimes a little overclock if I feel like it is slow + getting rid of bloat apps. I find myself not really tinkering with phones anymore. The only root app I think I have next to my phone's kernel configuration app is Greenify.
How's the G5 experience? Does it last long compared to S7? or somehow equal?
I came from the S4, so no idea how it compares to the S7.
It's a great phone with nice specs, and hopefully development will get better once Oreo is out
well then I had an S4 too. How does it compare to that? I mean I came from s3 all the way to s5. Planning to buy S7 but thought to try something else. The only thing that attracts me to G5 is the camera if everything else is roughly equal to S7 or S4 or S5 I'll buy one.

There is no comparison to the S4 ... it's like comparing a spaceship to a chopper :laugh:
It's much faster with everything and it doesn't have that Knox sh*t Samsung has
Development has been sloooooow lately, but I still have hope that it'll change with Oreo :fingers-crossed:

Faster, less bloated user experience than the s7.
Other than the wide angle lense coolness, i prefer the s7 camera, especially in low light.

Trying not to get biased here but seems like s7 is winning for everything else other than the camera (day time). Thank you for the feedback about your experience on both.
I came from S4 to.
Most durable phone I ever had.
If the sim reader still worked I wouldn't change and would probably have lineage 15 on it.
Any how
My 2 cents
S7 over g5
Amoled
Cooler design
Loads of roms, probably another 5 years of XDA community support
G5 over S7
Removable battery
No glass back
One of the best IPS LCD darks I've seen.
camera. Seriously, I bought my g5 because I found a crazy refurb deal on eBay and now I'm not willing to ever go back to a non wide angle lens phone.

End up buying S7 today because of the said S7 reasons.
I agree on you on those points you listed but you forgot one more on S7 which is longer battery life.
I bought the S7 Edge which has even more battery compared to S7.
I think I can live with S7's camera. It's decent... it's just that G5 has a better one, but I don't think the camera alone is worth it compared to the other Pros of S7.
I just got the Pixel 3 from the Pixel 2 and I have to say, it's a nice phone, but I cannot say there is a huge noticeable difference. When you throw in the camera mod for the Pixel 2, the Pixel 3 is better on paper, but overall, it generally feels like I bought the same phone and Google is probably laughing at me.
What say ye ?
I have the 3xl and it’s definitely not an upgrade from the 2XL. For the price you’re not getting much more

If you already have a Pixel 2, I say skip it and wait for the 4. The Pixel 3 screen has flaws, especially when you observe it at angles.

I just don't think the phone is actually a huge improvement esp with the ability to do night shots with the Pixel 2. They literally changed one or 2 items and jacked up the price. I haven't met anyone i know yet so has legitimately disagreed that the Pixel 3 is worth $799 payment to upgrade to over the Pixel 2.

The only reason I upgraded to the Pixel 3 was because I could get it for $400 on Black Friday. I was expecting the issues to be overblown but they weren't. I should RMA my Pixel 3 but I'm hesitant to do so.
I just went from a Nexus 6 to Pixel 3. My wife has an OG Pixel. While the 3 is an improvement in every way except ergonomics from the 6, it isn't that much better than her Pixel. She will get a new phone after her's goes off support in October of next year and probably wait until the 2020 (Pixel 5?) phone. If somebody else is paying for your phone, then yes, upgrade, if it is your own cash, I would save it.
i only bought the pixel 3 because of the $150 off deal that took place. Coming from a 2 XL dont think its worth the upgrade at reg price.
Wireless charging alone is worth it.

Pixel 3 is absolutely not worth it IMHO until Google fixes all the outstanding issues. Specially RAM management, heating issues, buzz in speaker... It'll all probably get fixed in December update.
Then if you already have a Pixel 2, mine is running real nice and smooth after november update (had had jankiness since Pie) and most of the issues have been ironed out after a year and some. Other than the slightly bigger/better screen there are few reasons to go for P3.

Meh this year there is no innovation anywhere they are just re releasing with better chipset thats all.
Not worth it at full price. Definitely get it if the deals are as good as Black Friday. The louder speakers, 128GB (from my Pixel 2 XL 64GB) and wireless charging was definitely an upgrade to me. I'll be paying $400 give or take after I sell my Pixel 2 so it's really worth it because I couldn't stand the Pixel 2XL's display quality no more. With the Pixel 3XL everything just pops out of the screen it looks so good

Not at 5W and 10W it's not. Pixel stand nonsense is another slap in the face.
I can not difference in switch from another pixel..but I switched from the Samsung s9 to pixel 3..and it makes a smile in my face ?
The only reason it's worth it to me, is because I'm coming from a Nexus 5X. Can't say how nice it is to have a phone that open Instagram or Snapchat in seconds and actually take a picture. I'm just not a fan of this new gesture UI.... or the clock on the left!

From a Samsung, just not having the bloatware is worth it. With any Samsung phone, you need to manually set everything to back up to Google by default instead of Samsung's own clouds. That alone makes it worth it for me not to have the manufacturer or even carrier's junk pre-installed that you CANNOT uninstall.

I also have the 5X no bootloop. The camera on the phone was good at the time, but the phone itself just is very underpowered and really was the old Google. I won't ever get rid of it until it stops working. More of sentimental value, plus still getting updates !
Nexus (all of them)= Pure android experience, cheap, but laggy and full of stutters.
Pixel (all of them)= Pure android experience, great camera, and smooth.

Right ... In the time I get the s9 I searched a phone with wireless charging..and from the specs..I thought..yes ok the Samsung...the double apps from Samsung was a pain from day 1 I used it.. with the pixels 3 ..it feels just right ?
