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.

It also had fingerprints all over it and the box was missing a few things.

Is it just me or is anyone else a little annoyed at the fact some of us like my self ordered minutes after release directly from Google and this guy is un-boxing already?

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

Yes.... that's what i did yesterday :laugh:
The phone does not come with earphones?
Reason NO 5.
I've tested the new a5 and gotta say...I was disappointed. It's more bloated than its older version. Yes more Bloated. Samsung has put nearly double the bloatware in the new a5. So the older is the better option if you don't want a bloated phone out of the box!
Reason No.4
I drop tested the new A5 and it broke at less than 3 feet. The older A5 can survive above 5 feet. The newer one is weaker due to its extra glass back and heavier additions which adds more force on impact.
Reason No. 3
Price. The newer is 25-30% more expensive than the older one. For that price you get a more bloated and weaker phone.
Reason No. 2
No Premium Metal Finish. There is NO premium metal finish. It is under the glass of the new a5. There is absolutely no point having it under glass. It's useless and I think a glass back is kinda outdated.
Reason No. 1
The System Memory. If you take the 16GB option of the A5 its system takes 10.34 GB
Along with Cached Data you will only have 3-4 GB to use on the phone. That's Bad.
Hope you like this thread and if you are planning to buy an a5 then buy the older please. Thank-you. BTW I have a ROM for download. I will create a thread for it later
Glad I got the 2015 model haha,
I don't know what bloated things you're talking about, mine has no bloat..and a5 2016 is more expensive than the original a5 cz it has a bigger screen bigger battery better cpu fast charging finger print the placement of the speaker is better.
actually if you think about it its a smaller note 5 with no pen heart beat sensor and wireless charging.
so with respect to your opinion,I think you're being too harsh on the new a5 2016
Sent from my SM-A510F using Tapatalk
Reason no 6: Mali t720mp2 gpu (Exynos variant). I mean seriously. That gpu is age old. It deserves at least t760mp2 or mp4.
Umm, you went on and drop tested new A5?
maybe he can't get the new one so he's hating on it

If you want pure android go for an Nexus device
And it is not much bloatware as you are saying
For example I had an vodafone sony z2
Well it was full of some vodafone useless apps
And my A5 is not from any carrier so it has not
all the useless apps
I think it has just what you need not more of that
Some google apps
Ok some samsung apps
But you need to admit Samsung always tried to have
their own system
Since Bada and tried with Tizen
And now what they are doing is just having their own
Samsung apps aplication and thats not much of bloatware
But everybody got their own taste
So if you dont like it
Nothing to say
Get what you like
Go for Nexus devices

Hmm
Will pay atention to it now...maybe you are right....
What I noticed till now is that my ram memory is always at 80-85% usage
I close all task and from the app manager close all background proceses but
after 2-3 minutes it comes back again to 80-85% usage...wich is for me not ok...
I think it could be some backproces like the app wich counts my steps all the time...
Will see how it will be after disableing all of it....
Thanks anyway for your share
Now I know it can do evan more hours and days
How is the fluidity of this phone? I know it's touchwiz... Does it lag or something? How is the fingerprint scanner?
Like I said touchwiz is terrible and does it your battery a lot

I set in the developer options animation x0.5 and it gets a bit faster
The battery is very good...can last for few days if the phone is not used a lot
But if you use it as a power user and do lot of browsing or video the battery need
9 hours to get empty...so this is very good...anyway it can last with now worries for
one hole day...but as said...if you use the phone less it lasts for days....
The build quality is very good also..has the goood premium feel in the hand
I recomand to buy this phone for sure no mistake to buy it

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!
I've had my eyes on OnePlus, but I'm waiting for the 5.

I don't think I could go back to a screen any smaller than 5.5 inches now. It can be unwieldy for sure, so I get that it isn't for everyone. I did love my s6 edge size wise though, and that was only 5.1 inches.

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.
Long story short I lent my S8+ to my dad coz his iPhone 7 busted. The only phone I have now is Mi Mix 2 running Mekoo ROM. So I decided to let my dad take the phone and I’ll get the s9 coming March.
My question : I want a good but a powerful phone for the time being. I see Le Max 2 even got LineageOS 15 so is it good to run AOSP roms and still get ‘flagship feel’? Thank you in advance.
Its performance should be fine for another year or so at least, as the SD820 it's running is still a very capable chipset even when compared to the SD835, which all the current flagships are using.
I own one and don't plan on upgrading until mid 2019...
You can get this phone or Le Pro 3 with SD 821.

As for the screen and speaker, here's a review of the device, running its original firmware, that'll give you an idea:

As for my own opinion about them: the screen is clear, sharp and bright, and the speaker is loud without any noticeable distortion.
As for the SoT when using custom ROMs, yes, 4 hours is doable and I routinely average that myself...

You're welcome. Whatever you eventually decide upon, I wish you all the best... ?
Prepare yourself for the hardware lottery. The FP in this device has a very good chance to die suddenly or to be dead out of the box. I ordered my x820 4GB 32GB from Geekbuying and the FP worked for 3 hours then it kinda died, it catches a print whenever it wants. If you buy it from your country that's good because you can return it if the FP is dead. I live in Europe and ordered from China basically, so yeah, there's nothing left to do.
If you can't really find the SD821 Le Pro3 then go for this device but prepare yourself, you might need to send the device back and get another one.
Note: my FP worked for 3 hours, other guys here had working FPs for 2 weeks, 2 months, then it died, so be careful.

+1. Yup. This device is plagued with fp problems. Mine's long dead and only a miracle can resurrect it.
While the fingerprint sensor on mine can be a little finicky, usually after the device has been asleep awhile, I've had no serious issues with it - the fact that I flashed the latest modem firmware (it contains driver code for the fingerprint sensor, apparently) may have something to do with it, though... ?
Now that you guys mention it, I remember my cousin buying the first leeco phone and the fingerprint never worked. I'd rather look at other options before I jump the gun.
Well, that's for sure a lottery with the FP. Mine is working even after 1.5 years. I had a 1s before this and its FP was one of the fastest that I've seen/used.
Why not Le Pro3 or even Axon7? Depends how much cash you have...

I'd rather not spend much as S9 is just a few months away and I might sell my s8+ to get it if it's good (Samsung hasn't managed to get fingerprint under glass this year as well). So I went ahead and got lemax 2.
Best phone I've ever used. Got universal remote too. Speaker is loud. Reception is great. Fingerprint is your too. But I don't flash any ROM. I believe most people who had problem with fingerprint after flashing rom.
For those with FP problems, maybe flash a new modem?
Hey guys, I'm thinking about picking this phone up but I'm a tad confused about cdla. I read that the dac is moved from the phone itself to the headphones (earbuds). So would you be able to hook up a pair of bluetooth headphones to this phone?

Yes Bluetooth headphones are possible. I use them to.
In my opinion the Le Max 2 is a really good device and definitly good enough für 2018 because every 835 device is much more expensive.
I had no Problem with fp and I'm really happy with the Device. Sot of 4.5 Hours are possible without noticeable slowdown of device. I hopefully will use it 2018 too (if i don't destroy it with my clumsy :silly: )
It is probably partially my fault for not doing a thorough research before buying.
This thing is made of plastic... well, I guess this is OK. What really changed my mind is the storage. For a $1000 phone, it only has 128G model in US and Samsung decides to not inlcude and support Micro-SD slot!
Samsung is so cheap now... I am returning it.
You didn't know those things before you bought it? Those things you mentioned are WHY I bought the Note 20 over the ultra...
