After a long looong thinking I made a decision: I buy a Nexus 6, today. Yes, a one year old device, instead a new Nexus 2015
In a first moment, when Google shows the new devices I was quite sure to buy a Nexus 6P; even though I ever look to Huawei with intrest and diffidence meantime. Test and video started, and showes a fragile/breakable device: scratch and bending tests are disarming. Moreover the test on build quality and the "how to fix" video showed a freak quality
I abandoned Nexus 6P idea....
Ok, probably the Nexus 5X will be my device: LG, build quality (easy fix) test good/passed, I like the good selfie camera, and the rear camera in the middle with laser AF. Yes I saw the video of N5 vs N5X... user experience looks quite the same... 2 years later, incredible... yes, only 2 gb RAM.... and basic version is 16gb ROM... really wierd for a 2015 Google phone!
And why not a Motorola Nexus 6?
Yes, why not? Is 1 year old, no fingerprint sensor, is big, no.... huge.... old, no Marshmallow native, no 2015 device... no... no...
Ok, keep calm.
With a Nexus 6 I will lost:
better selfie camera (compared to 6P and also to 5X)
Laser autofocus for rear camera
handy/practical device (definitely vs 5X)
USB type C, useful (It's about time!)
fingerprint sensor... I belive in it, useful, comfortable
With Nexus 6 I get:
good display, better than 5X, quite similar to 6P
good rear camera, with optical image stabilization... but without lare AF. IMO no far from both 2015 Nexus in term of user experience.
great CPU, best Snapdragon quadcore: probably very near to 5X and 6P in term of user experience
3gb of RAM, maybe not needed in daily use, but better than 5X
32gb ROM in basic edition, as basic edition of 6P, as top edition of 5X
great stereo speaker, very difficult to beat
wireless charging (f*ck the USB type C), incredible lack in both Nexus 2015... Google don't belive in wireless charge, for the future?
Nothing about aesthetic.. Is up to each one of us: but I don't like the 6P... probably black is the only way (for me) to tolerate the camera black band.
Very nice the N5X, and also the big Nexus 6 IMO.
Now.... In my country I buy Motorola Nexus 6 32gb with 100€ less than N5X 16gb version. And about at 50% of 6P price.
Done deal! :highfive:
Any comment is welcome
i think u make a right decision and i will not buy the Nexus 6P or 5X too, although i'm Chinese......
I got the nexus 6 as well! Why? It's the ultimate device

quite true... just fingerprint sensor I really would on it.
I was waiting for 5X and 6P to be released, but I was so disappointed with pricing in Europe, so I just decided to order myself a N6. Got a great deal on ebay for a new device with 1 year warranty and it's arriving tomorrow. I am still just not sure if I'm gonna like the size of this thing . I have 14 days to decide weather to return it, but somehow I think it's going to stay and my old N5 is probably going away...

Yes true. EU prices are fu*ing indecent, especially for 6P.
Size scare me away from N6, but also bewitch me.
Cross fingers for both of us :highfive:
I used to laugh at a guy in my office with a Galaxy Note, but as soon as I got my N6 it all became clear that this is a really good size for a phone. I was worried that it wouldn't fit in my pocket - it does, no problem. The screen is terrific, front stereo speakers, brilliant device. I haven't regretted it for a moment.
Even if the 6P didn't have the Snapdragon 810 I still wouldn't have upgraded. The N6 is plenty good enough for me until it eventually dies one day.

Really happened to me when I bought my Note1 in substitution to my old iPhone 3g!
I almost pre-ordered a Nexus 6P on its launch day. After further review I ended up going with a Nexus 6 as well. I have had no regrets! It is by far my favorite of any phone I have owned. I can not believe I only paid $350, $150 less than the 6P would have cost.
Is the 6P "better" than the 6? In my opinion yes it is, depending on how you look at it. But I do not feel that the 6P is $150 better than the Nexus 6.
You will love your Nexus 6! It is an awesome device. The SD 805 / Adreno 420 coupled with 3GB of ram is a solid performer and I feel it is future proofed for at least 2 years. The 2560x1440 display is amazing in my opinion, however it is my first device with an AMOLED display. The front facing stereo speakers are the best I have seen/heard on a smartphone. I also feel the camera takes a damn good picture. I have heard from others that it is not that great, but I can't see a difference from pictures taken on my Nexus 6 and my iPhone 6.
was also on the same boat. but i said to myself, why wont i try a 6 inch phone and see it for myself. and boom. i fell in love with it. 6p and 5x for sure are good phones. but the nexus 6 is a flagship as well. so basically, your not settling for something bad. u did settle for good. for the price way too cheap now. its pretty damn good deal
Same here. I wish it has the camera from the new Galaxy phones and the finger print reader but other than that it's a great phone for $300.
Also, I don't like the idea of having the finger print on the back. How can you unlock the phone while it's on the cradle, car mount or whatever? LG's back buttons make sense to be on the back but not the finger print reader like the 6P.

I suppose fingerprint on the back is cool and useful. But only suppose.... Beacuse I never used it.
Anyway... I'm with my Nexus6 now... Yuppyyyy!

Wise buyer desicion.
I did the same too!, mine is just 2 weeks now , got it for $300 (32GB blue).I had 1+1 as daily drive but wanted a bigger screen - 6P is bigger but not enough and 6P is ~+$200 more than 6.
Then concerns of 810 and prospects of a nexus 6 2016 with 820 or more > May be worth waiting.
With Nexus 6 - So far so good , I adjusted the color tone and with Chroma - It is still in par with 2015 flag ships in normal use.
I wish Moto make another nexus 6" , even Sony or HTC is fine.
This one is also an interesting piece @$300 , If developers support it.
Yeah!
In Italy I paid 379 euro for 32gb blue.
6p cost is 699 fu.king euro... And you can bend it like a banana easy peasy.
Also the N6 screen is fantastic, really amazing. I like a lot in my first approach.
Looks a very good device... And Marshmallow looks kindly married with it!

This thing is huge! Just arrived yesterday and I was playing with it whole evening (after 5.1.1 and 6.0 updates together with 3 security patches) and almost whole day today. Battery is so much better in comparison to my N5.
I guess having my Moto 360 will help a lot to cope with the size .
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I jumped on the same boat. N5x isn`t a big upgrade for my N5, N6p is a way too expensive and its build quality is not great. So I decided and I have placed order for N6 for a half price of N6p ( I live in EU). I also got a free chromecast 1st gen xD. The only thing I will miss its a figerprint sensor but I can live without out.
I too just got my nexus 6 on swappa for $279. It was only used for about 2 months and the previous owner had purchased the 6P. At first the size of the nexus 6 took a little getting used to but then it becomes a non-issue. Front facing speakers on this device are amazing and I think the camera is great in my opinion.

i choose to get the nexus 6 because you got one lol.
I've had this phone almost 2 years now. It's a beast, I love the big screen, it's fast and it's pure android. The other day I was thinking if it was time to replace and upgrade to a new phone and did a bit of research. I have a budget so nothing too fancy or any latest releases. So had a look at Mate 8, Mate S, Huawei P9, OnePlus 3, Lg V10, even 6p.
To be honest nothing wowed me. Similar specs, maybe few plus sides but nothing made me go 'ok that's it'. Maybe the fingerprint scanner but I'm not fussed really.
So anyone in the same boat let me know if you've find any good alternatives or are you waiting for Pixel phones. I'm interested if anyone else is looking for an upgrade.
My other option is to wait another year once the Pixel phones go cheaper and upgrade to Pixel XL.
So let me know what you guys think..
Cheers
the best phone i can find in the market right now is Samsung S7 edge
great battery life and awesome screen and is snapy for sure
the only bad side is touchwoz but you can get rid of it

I hate Samsung. I'd rather to buy a Nokia 5110 then a Samsung! Are you waiting for Pixel phones to upgrade?
Awaiting pixel xl and Honor 9 to see if I give up my N6. If they don't wow me, I'll just keep the N6 until something does.

i love nexus and i bought nexus 4 and 5 and 6 and 6 is the best of them
but i don't like htc to be honest
imo the screen is the most important thing in any phone
that's why i recommend Samsung
s7 edge is awesome and dont judge this phone unless you have used it first
i hate Samsung too but this phone ia wow

I don't really have high hopes for Pixel XL really. I reckon if I want to upgrade 6p is going to be my choice as the price will drop once Pixel is launched.
I'm in the same boat as you, I really wanted to upgrade to the Note 7 despite my hate for TouchWiz, but there are launchers to fix that. Until that whole battery explosion fiasco happened around the same time my contract ended so I decided to hold off for the Pixel phones. I guess I will know for sure next week, if the Pixel lineup isn't any good then I might get the Note 7 or S7 Edge.
If not I could wait for Samsung's new galaxy lineup, which will be announced early next year

That explosion thing totally put me off too. I don't think I can afford a Samsung at the moment anyway looks like my best bet is either wait for next year and buy cheaper Pixel XL or buy 6p now and use it next 2-3 years.
The 6p is pretty nice. I have a N6. Got a 6p used. I like good audio for podcasts mostly. I watch hours of video at work. Both running Pure Nexus. Very snappy. Its a tossup . I like them both equally. Got a 5x for the kid. She loves it.
there's nothing coming up that I feel is an upgrade across the board, I got the shamu on launch day and was also expecting to pick up a pixel but its been a let down so far with design/specs/price
I'm thinking maybe catching a 6p on fire sale price around thanksgiving or new year, or going with the cheaper midrange chinese oems(oneplus 3/saxon 7) depending on development support
all meh choices so there's a good chance I'll stay put with this device into next year

Op3, it is dev friendly. If is true that the new pixels will kill the nexus line, I think that I must give a prize to a company that is close to developers, no locked bootloader or similar bull..it

Why replace it? If you want new device, keep your beloved N6 and buy new one someday I personally can't live with only one phone, there are too many awesome devices out there (in my opinion). But if money is the problem and you need to sell N6 in order to be able to buy a new one, then it's a whole different story and understandable
I can't anything that wowed me like my n6. I would like a op3 but with the lack of band 13 for verizon, and my area is covered with it. I'm stuck with verizon for the most part, only have coverage with most of the rural area I live in. Sprint roams off verizon, the nearest tower for tmo is 15 miles away and I live in the mountians. ATT has the 2nd best coverage, but doesn't have service in my house, and it a lot of areas I go to. I used to be a samsung fan until they started with the knox crap, after my s3, I have never had an samsung device again. I was a fan of Motorola, until Lenovo took over. Looks like I'll be sporting my n6 for a while. At my work, I've actually been pushing the n6 for people to buy them lol

Well, my phone buying pattern has been like this;
Palm Treo 650, 2004
HTC Dream ADP1, 2008
HTC Vision, 2010
Samsuck Relay, 2012 (first and LAST samsuck I will ever buy)
Nexus 6, 2014.
Note the pattern: update when there is something WORTH updating to. For a little while, that was a 2-year cycle. THIS cycle will go longer, since this N6 is still perfect. Should have seen the condition of the palm treo when I was done with it -- the lots-of-pins plug was removed, had a capacitor sticking out the bottom of it, and a custom charging plug, a couple of resistors soldered onto the inside near the battery. That 2004-2008 range was REALLY desolate, sure wasn't going to buy RIM or FRUIT junk.
I will be buying my wife a Pixel XL to replace her N5, and sticking to the N6 for myself. Why? Well the pixel XL will have a better SoC, but not *so* much better that it will have ANY impact on my life.
As far as the 6p goes, straight across the board, it is either equal or LESS than the N6.
Screen: less
RAM: equal
CPU: less (the SD810 is definitely NOT as good as the 805, it was just adequate for them to be able to bump the number to say "64bitz!!!", which won't actually do any good in a phone).
Not that the 6p is a terrible phone or anything, but I already have something slightly BETTER than it, so it would be stupid to get one.
Actually, my N6 recently suffered a... mishap. Got some impact thanks to a 2 year old, that even with a ballistic maxx, caused a couple of cracks in the digitizer, and SHATTERED the AMOLED. Yeah, it was worth buying a new screen for it. TOTALLY worth it.

I'm in the same boat, was kinda waiting for the Lenovo Phab Tab 2 Pro, but it has been delayed till 'this fall'.
Don't want to go back to much in screen size, so i'm undecided for now....
this thread is for discussion
so google revealed the pixel 2 xl (which is not perfect by any mean )
do you plan as nexus 6 owner to upgrade to it
or there is another option you consider
or you will stick with the good old nexus 6
i want to hear your opinion :laugh::laugh:
A feature that I'm looking for is high accuracy GPS:

Maybe some 2018 phones will have that.
And whatever happened to Project Tango?

No plan to upgrade N6 to Pixel.
I've rooted and decrypted my N6 and with that configuration it is a fast and smooth device.
In the meantime I look at and wait for alternatives, like OnePlus 6 in 2018.
The OnePlus 5 would be an option, but the display is only 1920 x 1080 pixels.

I want this and band 71 so I'm waiting. In the meantime I picked up a "budget" smartphone Moto 5Gs plus. Nothing fancy but I need more battery life as this ones bad.

Yep, ordered my XL2 within a few hours of the announcement. Headphone jack, wireless charging, and ugly design aside, it's a worthy upgrade.
I'll use the N6 as an around the house device when browsing and doing other stuff. Even if I wanted to wait another year, the screen cracks make it such that the proximity sensor is inconsistent. When I take the phone away from my face, the screen doesn't always turn on or if I'm trying to dial from speaker phone, the screen sometimes refuses to turn on even when hitting the power button. I'm done with that.
No headphone jack= skip
I'm going to upgrade with overtime money around Christmas time, kind of to treat myself, my main reason is because I'm sick of the software on the S8+ i have and have decided to trade that in and use some of the money for a 6P or a normal pixel XL (if the price is right), to use mainly as a phone for work. I really miss the stereo speakers on the Nexus 6 and the pixel 2 XL is a perfect modern replacement, i don't really mind the bezel on it when compared to the S8+ and i guess apple were right and we will be forced into a wireless future when it comes to headphones at least, so I'd rather pick up that habit sooner rather than later

I was thinking about the OP6 too, but it needs to have a larger screen for me to consider it. Hopefully it will follow the 6" 18:9 route. I like the Pixel 2 XL but it's way too expensive.
Meanwhile, the N6 works perfectly and will hold on for a few more months.
Yep, I did it. Really can't afford it but what the Hell. Never bought a brand new Flagship before. Usually wait at least a year which is the smart thing to do but i can't help myself this time. Looking forward to see how it can possibly be any better than the original pixel which I bought 2 months ago and will trade in.

The headphone jack doesn't matter to me. I use Bluetooth.
No wireless charging is kind of a kick in the nuts, but I can get a receiver coil for that. I like the wireless charging for less wear and tear on the connector, and the convenience of putting it on the stand or popping it onto my iottie car cradle to charge.
@ SynisterWolf, how does it compare to N6? I was also thinking of it as upgrade reasonable option.
Camera, battery, screen are main consideration for the price.
Stereo speakers I do really enjoy but very little number of phones have ones
I'm a cheapskate now that I'm a dad so just last week I picked up a Pixel XL (v1, 2016) for 225 or so. Paid full price on the first "Google Phone", the Nexus 1, been deal hunting ever since. I'm kinda OK with Nexus 6, other than camera. Getting tired of 99% pics I take of my son looking pretty bad. Going to see if girlfriend wants the Nexus 6, she watches alot of videos on her phone (currently my old 2013 Moto X since her iPhone broke) and the N6 is still, I think, the ultimate video watching phone. (Giant 16x9 screen, stereo front speakers, etc)
I pulled the trigger on a P2XL at the end of March, when Google was offering a $200 credit and a free charger with cable for those who financed the device. The N6 I purchased when they were being closed out after the release of the 6P, so this is the first time I ever bought the latest and greatest. The lack of a headphone jack isn't a deal breaker for me, and I personally like the design.
My roommate took the N6 in place of her Moto X Style (2015), simply because the N6 is getting totally functional Android 8.1 ROMs while the Moto X is stuck on Android 7.1.1.
I'm very happy N6 owner but now I have option to buy Pixel 2 (not XL) for a good price. What do you think, is it worth it. I know it's smaller but Pixel 2 is much faster and camera should be much better than N6. Thoughts?

Definitely worth it. Only thing you're downgrading from is the screen resolution which you'll barely notice. Everything else will be an upgrade from the N6

Depends ... My bad price level starts at 500?
I got the Pixel 2 XL and am extremely happy I did, I have not regrets and would do it again, although I had to swallow twice on the price. Knowing I have a phone that will last 3-4 or more years made it easier. It was the biggest screen, dual front speakers, and not a proprietary manufacturer that loads tons of bloat. :good: Those were my priorities.
I was seriously considering OnePlus because of development support, until their latest (and continual) spyware escapade. No! No! No! - bad juju - once burned twice smart
First of all the notch was no big deal, turned on the settings to hide it and forgot about it. I did not like the screen quality. Now I am coming from a Nexus 6P which a QHD display and knew it came with a lower resolution screen but all the reviewers were saying how they can't tell the difference. They must need glasses. I am middle aged with not great eyesight and I could easily spot the difference.
The speed of the device is fast and the battery life was good. Wifi reception is excellent.
The dongle for headphones was no big deal either as all of mine worked. However the OnePlus 6T dongle in the box looks like it will break easily overtime and I am mad in the US they don't sell extra's. As for the sound quality knowing that USB-Type C headphones use digital I think the sound quality is not great and even when using a USB-Type C headphones dongle on the Nexus 6P I noticed much better sound. Now the reason I sent it back is constant audio stuttering with Apple Music. I read this has been going on for years and no I am not dropping AM as I hate Spotify UI and I don't really like Play Music which will turn into the much worse YTMusic soon.
So that is a deal breaker I sent it back, went back to my Nexus 6P.
Bout sent back Mine cause it won't work properly on Verizon...
I have T-Mobile so I did not have a chance to try it outside. As soon as AM kept stuttering I wanted to return it.
No issues with Apple music here. I have prepaid so I don't use Verizon myself. I dumped them like 4 years ago now and never looked back

I came from a pixel 3xl and the 6T is pretty sweet. I've had mush faster and smoother performance and no issues connecting to any of the services listed.
Sorry ur having issues.
Apple music works fine here
Not really buying that. I'm a pixel peeper and had doubts but you can't tell the screen is 1080p. You would have to have the phone very close to your face to see the difference. Also the Nexus 6p is pretty ancient now and the screen quality won't be anywhere near as good as the newest ones...amoled tech gets better every year.... unless it's from LG ?

Also the Nexus 6p is pretty ancient now and the screen quality won't be anywhere near as good as the newest ones...amoled tech gets better every year.... unless it's from LG [emoji23]

I had a 6p and have no issues with the 6t screen. It looks great.

I've had the 6P, Note 5, S7e+, S8+ and I'm perfectly fine with the 6T's 1080 screen.

I came from a pixel 3xl and the 6T is pretty sweet. I've had mush faster and smoother performance and no issues connecting to any of the services listed.
Sorry ur having issues.

A little off topic but how do you compare the camera differences between the 3xl and the 6t. I bought the 6t coming from the og XL (got it free due to 6p battery jank, totally regret it.) Im totally conflicted between wanting the 3xl and sticking with the 6t. My main concern is the camera. In your opinion is the camera on the 3xl worth the price difference?

I own a Pixel 3 XL, both versions of the OnePlus 6T (T-Mobile and unlocked straight from OnePlus) and an iPhone XS Max.
I don't know if it's worth the price difference but I do know whenever I know I'm going to be taking a lot of photos my Pixel 3 XL goes with me and the rest stay home.

The Pixel 3 has an unrivaled camera. Maybe Huawei's mate 20 pro/x can compare to the experience due to more options with a wide angle lens, AI that doesn't suck (that black/white background while keeping the subject in colour is amazing), and a night sight mode that performs well.. but the Pixel is king. I returned my Pixel 3 XL because the notch was too hideous and the speakers were garbage, but I'm glad we have GCam for the 6T. Stock camera isn't as good as GCam.
And to the op: sorry but I'm calling bs. There's no genuine way you can tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p on a smartphone. Maybe you're confusing the screen quality, which is still very questionable given how old the 6P is, but still - there's no way you can tell the difference between a FHD and QHD panel with the naked eye. You'd have to have the phone about an inch from your eye to possibly see anything.

The pixel 3 xl isn't worth the price at all.
I guess ive used bluetooth headphones the last few years.. Cant be bothered with archaic wired headphones.
Coming off a pixel 1, can cant tell any differences in the ppi except in vr.. And is not much.
Only major loss is the camera., but everyting else makes up for it.

I'd agree with this too. The pixel 3 shoots 10/10 pics great while the 6T is maybe 7 or 8 out of 10. Then portrait mode is not even close! Overall its more than fine for what I use it for

I guess it depends on how important the camera is to you. The Pixel is obviously better, but then again it's probably better than any phone, not just the 6T. I always think I need the best camera, but then in practice, unless I'm on holiday somewhere, I don't even use it that much. Although sure, it would be nice to have.
Part of the problem as well is the tenancy to view photos side-by-side in camera comparison videos and the like. When you directly compare the 6T to something like the Pixel 3 in most cases it's not going to be as good, but in real usage when you're not comparing it to the best in class, it's a fairly capable shooter in its own right.

I went super geeky and did side by side shots between both phones then looked at them on my laptop. 6T def held its own!!! Only a few shots were way better
