It's not good but, it's something.
Whew hew!! I just wanted to see the thing longer than 2 minutes... glad he booted it up and showed a few things at least!
I'm not much for unboxing, but at this point I'll take anything showing this badboy Nexus6 P!
Lol, that was a second unboxing.
That phone booted up with an unlocked bootloader? Is that normal? 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.

not really...... the 6 is 159.26mm and the 6P is 159.30mm.... So 0.04mm isnt much
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!

It's thinner, narrower, and lighter...
Pretty much anyone that's held one said it feels smaller and easier to hold over the 6

It's a press event that's how. They were invited to the recent event in India. I'm sure it just a box that they have pre set aside for the "Unboxing" videos. Press will of course get the phone earlier. Be patient man

You can go handle a iphone 6s plus or 6plus....the dimensions are nearly identical to the 6P:
Iphone 6S Plus (158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm ) vs Nexus 6P (159.3 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm).
Height: 6P is 1.1mm Taller
Width: 6P is 0.1mm narrower
Thickness: Same

hey all!
Considering an update from my Honor 6 this spring some time and was wondering if you recommend the honor 7 or the nexus 6P?
or other huawei models? one thing that has been an annoyance for me lately is the lack of ROM's for the Honor 6, its something I have missed dearly. I guess if i had chosen a "top" model, like samsung S6 or S7, theres probably plenty, but then theres also the matter of how much money to shell out on a phone.
so in shorter terms:
*i want/need a phone with plenty of ROMS etc.
*battery needs to be decent
*regular and timely android updates
*i have normal hands very average, lol
*most of all, i want to feel its a great bang for the buck and still not break the bank(this is why i loved my honor 6, great performance to price ratio)
any insights welcome
my friend, you're describing a Nexus.
i'd say go for a Nexus you won't regret it. I'm a happy Honor7 user but what you need you won't find it in the Honor7.
Nexus all the way if you want the best. But if you want a good phone for a low price then the honor 7 will more than do the job in specs and in actual use. It's the best budget phone by a long shot.
I'm coming from a nexus 5 and apart from the honor 7 not being as comfortable in the hand it actually beats my old nexus 5 in all other aspects and daily use.
thanks, this makes my choice a little easier. going to a store one of these days and check how the 6P fits in my hand. it just seems to look crazy big for some reason
Check out the honor 7 in a 3 mobile store they have them in stock. The honor 7 looks better in real life than in any you tube video and is very responsive.
Just noticed that the nexus has no sd card option which is a dealbreaker in my book... But perhaps getting the 64 gig version could be ok
Honor, good price flagship from Huawei. Not many ROMs but as you see we have 2 already ;D Nexus is just Nexus that phone is and will be the best, clean Android, fast updates, every Beta Android is going first to Nexus devices (like the new Android N right now). If you don't need all that, you can pick Honor. He is fast but EMUI is something very different. Just check it out on YouTube.
Would run away from SD810, like the one Nexus 6P have inside. Overheat/throttle from this SOC is well known, despite some revisions. Also with that SOC and high density pixel, battery is not great as Honor 7 (3100mah vs 3450mah). You have a 128GB version, though, but the price should be quite steep.
Right now, with the release of SD820 and Helio x20 its very premature to go to a flagship, before the dust settles.
Edit: The phones with the most 3rd party ROMs are the most sold and/or opened to development.
Seems like its a good year for tax returns so im thinking about a flagship from somewhere, so ill think it over a little more
Hi I'm absolutely new to these forums but have owned nexus phones since the nexus 5. And the sole reason I left other OEMs is the software availability with fast updates. And that's how it's been these past few years. ... And now I just bought the Nexus 6P from moving in from Nexus 6. And I've read that Google is abandoning it's nexus lines on certain EOL dates and unfortunately nexus 6P isn't so far away.
But it isn't what has me mad. It's the fact that nexus devices are not going to receive fast updates anymore or receive the same treatment the Pixel phones are going to get ( updates )... I can care less about Google exclusive features for the Pixel but don't delay our updates. Especially when we bought our phones cause of this reason ... Not a lot of people can afford to buy a new phone every year. So I don't want Google to do us dirty.
So if you agree with me and don't agree with Google's decision then let's rebel and refuse to buy Google's Flagship and comment showing your ideas and support... let's start putting some control in consumers hands.

My plan is,
I will buy 2nd hand 128GB XL next year.
I'm sitting on my Nexus 6P for one more year, then I think I'm going for the 10th anniversary iPhone.
Getting a bit sick and tired of Google's shenanigans after six years with Android.
Im Back to 6P a week ago before this bad news because this phone is great. I would like stay with him for next year and abandon android.

Just got my 6P a month ago. I will keep it for as long as it will work. Later on probably either get a 2nd hand Pixel XL or as I did with this 6P , I will get a new PIXEL XL when the next phone on that line will be released.
As of now, Google has become Apple #2 for me.

Same here. I mean I see no reason to switch my device of practically the same one i've already got. So I guess I'll either get me a used one for a cheap price OR, get a bran new one as I did with the 6P , like a Month or two before the new PIXEL XL will be launched.
I would love to own a new pixel xl but i cant justify the price. Ill stick with my 6p as it is the best phone ive ever owned. Maybe next years gPhone, if they learn their lesson.
Google is getting worse than Apple. It'd be nice to know if you could buy one device and it get timely stock Android updates for years. Old iPhones still getting updates, albeit they might be missing some features.

That is completely unfair to Apple. Their hardware is gorgeous and robust, and the software just works (as long as you only use it as "uncle Steve" intended) and is, usually, far far more polished than anything available on Android. Case in point - the gyro and compass. Why do I need to manually recalibrate the compass on all Android phones I have ever owned to have the arrow pointing in the direction I am facing? And why do I never need to do this on my wife's iPhone, going back to at least one day he iPhone 3? Why do so many of us install the ios emojis over the grossly ugly ones from Google? These may seem like small things but they are part of the overall user experience.
Google is far more like Microsoft from the late 90s than Apple. Me too approaches, rough around the edges, and best suited for the pocket protector crowd that is willing to deal with the occasional BSOD for the sake of the ability to dink around.

Google are like a "beta" company. Scrapping hangouts for Allo and Duo is crazy as well it all feels very rough around the edges and scattergunned. I mean having Allo and Duo locked to one device.... WTF?!
I'm passing on pixel and if Google continues to dink around I'll either move to another Android maker or go back to Apple.

The Nexus will get (official) updates until September 2017 and that's it. Not long away, sadly. I'm not even sure it'll get official "O".

Hopefully, yeah. Depends also if we get the whole 8 then 8.1 on the Pixel 2.
I cannot believe how pissed everyone is over this. You all act like Google has 7.1 complete for this phone and they're just not sending because of pixel. I highly doubt it's complete....it's not done and it might not be done because of pixel but who cares. Didn't we just get 7.0? We need major updates monthly now? Everyone is talking about going to Apple, go for it, if you don't end up back on Android I'd be surprised. I recently bought my wife and iPad pro for her birthday, it froze twice during setup....it doesn't "just work" any better than Android and it's boring as hell. The screen on my phone seems 100x better than it is on the iPad. If you want Apple to keep updating your four year old device making it unusable that's up to you.
I bought my 6P on January 2016, and started with the battery issue on November. I thought that was a software issue, and I restored factory settings a few times, but nothing worked. In my case, I have 80% of the issues when the battery goes to 15% ... and immediately shuts down. Also, sometimes when it's at 30%, 20%, 40% .... I have tried battery calibration... but nothing solved the problem. It's frustrating.
About the temperature....I live in Majorca (Spain) with temperatures between 10-25 degrees, so I think that, in my case, is not connected.
If I add that I have bluetooth issues with my car since I upgraded to 7.0 ... and sometimes I have echo during the calls .... Maybe my unit is wrong. Anyway, my general perception is that it is the best smartphone that I've ever had and I do not want to lose it.
I purchased my nexus with amazon prime, and I contacted them and they offered full refund (1 year later, amazon is amazing for me). I am considering to buy OnePlus 3T .... but I do not know if I can handle the camera quality lost or the audio difference .... The rest of things maybe the OP3T is better option ....
Do you think that, considering that the refund my money, is a good option to change to a Oneplus 3T?
Best regards,
:good:
P.D: i cannot buy Pixel XL because is not possible to buy it in my country, and I am not interested to add money this time.
Buy another 6P. Mine works well with 7.1.1.

I have nexus 6P and my family has all three versions of one plus. If you are getting a full refund then i would recommend One plus 3 or one plus 3T. Even though nexus 6p is a great phone its still out dated in 2017

I think that the OP3T now is a better option in terms of speed, hardware....and also, Oxygen OS seems to be a very good alternative (they also have good update policy).
But the camera...Nexus 6P is still one of the best smartphone cameras...S7 edge...I hate touchwiz...Pixel XL...too expensive and not available in my country...HTC 10 is too small.....So there are not many options with a very very good camera...

You could always wait for the One Plus 4 which should be released in June/July. I would take a refund on the 6P and get a OP3T though I don't trust the 6P hardware anymore.

that's the point...
OP3T: better processor, more ram, better battery life, very good software, the best fingerprint sensor. Cons: camera quality far from the best cameras...
vs
Nexus 6p: nexus software, a little bit outdated hardware but working very smooth, stereo speakers....and one of the best cameras. Cons: battery issues, bluetooth issues (in my case).
Hi, sorry to hijack the thread but I also have the battery issue with mine...purchased in November 2015 from eBay seller who purchased from CPW. According to Huawei website the phone is still under warranty until December 2017. The phone's battery was absolutely atrocious with Android 7.0 update... It didn't last at all and regularly shut down suddenly at 50/60%...sometimes it reached 15/20% before it shut down!
I was running custom ROM then... However I've gone back to stock a few days ago and the battery life has considerably improved but unfortunately it shut down suddenly at about 20% today!!!
I'd like to know if I should be able to return the phone under warranty and who I can return to? Google, Huawei or CPW?
Thanks in advance.

CPW won't do anything and neither will Google because you didn't buy it from the Playstore. Huawei is your best bet but they're denying the problem and saying it's Google's fault.

Nexus camera is awesome. I have said this before in several other threads. It is not that hard to replace a battery in a 6p. Go on eBay or Amazon and do a search for a Cameron sino battery.
