Best phone I have ever had !
There are plenty of technical reviews of this phone on Amazon, YouTube, and the Internet, so I won't go into details here. I will say I like the phone a lot. I'm kind of a techie type, so I like the latest gadgets. The best aspect of this phone is that it is as pure Android as you're going to get. I had always been sucked in to getting a phone at the local service provider. Of late, that has been Verizon. When you get a phone from a service provider, they load it up with a bunch of apps that you may never use... but can't delete from your phone. Many phones nowadays are being produced without slots for external memory cards, thereby making usable space on the phone a real issue. You don't need useless apps sucking up space that could be better used for something else. The Nexus 6P comes with very few, if any, apps that are not necessary. That was the selling point for me. My old phone is a Droid Maxx that I bought from the Verizon store. It was loaded with what's called "bloat-ware" (i.e. apps that were useless to me, and couldn't be deleted), so I welcomed the bloat-ware free phone. I took the SIM card out of the Droid Maxx, installed it in the Nexus 6P, and I was set to go. Never needed to contact Verizon. The 6P started working immediately. Many of my apps downloaded from the app store automatically, while some others I had to download again, but the settings were still valid. There is an app on the 6P that will transfer all your settings from your old phone (assuming of course its not a flip phone or some other relic) and install those settings on the 6P. Easy peasy ! Now, the one thing I don't really care for on the 6P is the location of the on/off switch and volume buttons. Most of my older phones had those switches on the top, or close to the top. The 6p has designed them to be right in the middle of the right-side edge. At first it took some getting used to, but eventually I did get used to the location, and learned to avoid them when handling the phone in everyday situations. No getting around it, its simply a bad design. However not enough to keep me from really liking the phone overall. Also, the vibration alert. I rarely use audible notifications, and rely almost exclusively on the vibrate function. The 6P has a very weak vibration alert. Some around on the internet think its just fine, but many, like me, think it is weak. Most times I can barely feel it when its in its belt clip. This is disappointing, but since I wear an activity tracker that has phone, email and text alerts from my phone, I am not as inconvenienced as I would be. Most folks probably use audible alerts, so the weak vibrate will likely not be an issue for most. I assume this is a design function to conserve on battery life. It likely takes more battery power to drive a strong vibration motor. Just a note on battery life... I am not a big web surfer, or video/music streamer. For my daily use, at the end of the day I usually have about 40-50% battery life remaining. Although there have been a few days where there has been no WIFI, and a weak service provider signal and the phone uses a little more power constantly searching for a signal. However I have never had to charge the phone mid-day, so unless you are a huge web surfer or streamer, you should be fine with battery power most days. I bought the 128Gb version, simply because I don't care for the whole "cloud storage" concept. I like to have all my content stored right on my own device, not sitting on some server for some hacker to see how long it takes him to crack into it. The cloud storage folks will be quick to tell you how secure your data is... but if hackers can gain entry into the most sensitive areas of our government like the CIA,FBI, and IRS, you have to understand they can get in just about anywhere. Now although the 6P does not have an external storage slot, there are adapters that will allow the USB port to accept a standard USB Memory Stick. You can also of course connect the 6P to your desktop or laptop or tablet and exchange files, or off-load content. Regarding cloud storage... there is an old saying - if they are not selling you something (i.e. storage space), then they are selling YOU ! That means... there is no free lunch. They are likely sifting through your data in order to find your likes and contacts, then sell that information to advertisers so they can send you (and your contacts) junk mail for stuff you don't want or need. No thanks... I'll store my own data locally. So, if you want a stock Android phone, without the heavy handed influence of a service provider... get yourself an unlocked Nexus 6p. You will be glad you did. I am !

Screen lottery/Amazon woes
I am a long time Android user and definitely consider myself a techie. I am an electrical engineer by profession and a consumer technology buff. That being said, I own a lot of technology, be it cell phones, Tvs, routers, video games, NAS, you name it.. It's probably in my house. I really enjoy new tech and reading about new tech. One thing I don't really enjoy, however, is writing reviews. But on this purchase I feel compelled to give a consumer warning to possible customers of this phone. First things first, this phone in its perfect form is incredible. Even 8 months after launch its still going strong and competitive with the newer releases of 2016. I personally have the galaxy s7 edge and the HTC 10, both of which are excellent android phones. For some reason, however, I find myself reaching for the Nexus 6p to recurve my sim card for the day! It's butterry smooth, even though it sports last year's plagued 810 snapdragon SoC, and the monthly updates are awesome. It has great battery life and the media viewing experience is second to none. The big 5.7 inch amoled display coupled with the dual front firing speakers are a pure joy to consume media on! 64gb worth of storage is the sweet spot for me right now, both in price and capacity for moderate-heavy use (no SD card expansion here). Connection to my network (Tmobile and sprint) is excellent here in Portland and wifi performance is equally stellar. And wow did I mention the build! It's Google first nexus with a machined aluminum body and it's a pleasure to hold in the hand. I especially look ve the cold metal feel when u reach for it in the morning to start my day. Sadly though, like I said before I am not a person who write reviews often and alas, a review is not the point of this post. The main reason I'm posting this short essay is because of a compelling urge to WARN possible consumers about a particular build quality issue with this phone and my experience dealing with Amazon to remedy the problem. Here's the issue: the beautiful Amoled screen on this particular phone (Graphite 64gb) has a defect that seems to be quite frequently appearing. The display has uneven color temperature throughout, some worse than others, and is extremely hard to "unsee" once noticed. It's very noticeable on lighter backgrounds, I.e. When you're using email, browsing websites, sms messaging.. The list goes on. What do I mean by "uneven color temperature"? You see blotches of pink on one side of the display, green on another. The white can be two completely different colors from top to bottom or left to right. It's very unappealing to the eye and from my generous research into the problem from various Nexus forums it's quite a well documented issue with the 6p's big amoled display (or at least was at launch). My first Nexus I recieved from Amazon had this issue extremely badly. I noticed the uneven temperature color's telltale pinks before I had even gotten thru the setup process on the phone. I was understandably upset, and promptly requested a replacement, literally half an hour after receiving the device. Amazons automated return system immediately generated a replacement order and it was shipped out the same day. Yay amazon! Little did I know this would only be the start of my woes. Once I had recieved my 1st replacement, I quickly turned on the device and instantly started inspecting the screen trying to find the same flaw (or lack thereof). Thankfully this display looked considerably better, though not perfect. It was acceptable I would say and I was happy. After a few days of enjoying the phone, it's started having an issue where it would just randomly reboot on me. I was dismayed at my luck and tried refreshing Google latest software image to remedy the problem, but this did not fix the rebooting issue. Even after many device factory resets it still wouldn't stop. So reluctantly I again requested a replacement. This time I was starting to doubt the manufacturing quality of the Nexii, but I loved how the phone felt and operated so I knew i wanted to get a 'working' device. Anyway, the 2nd replacement came quickly, and again within seconds of turning it on I saw the dreaded pink hue. I was really bummed out at this. I went online to research how many people had this much trouble! I even saw a few other reviewers deep in the 400+ reviews of this device here on amazon had similar problems and I found quite a few with the exact same pink problem. At this point i felt pretty down on my luck, but again I dutifully went to amazon to request a replacement thru there automated system. This is where things went from bad to worse. This time a replacement was not granted. It just said "Return requested. Your replacement is being handled by customer service department". I figured they'd would take care of me and send me a replacement. But this was not what happened. Actually nothing happened. A few days past and I decided to take it upon myself to talk directly to a customer service representative. The first person I talked to, forgive me for forgetting his name (it was Indian and hard to recall now), told me he was sorry. He said that this problem had been investigated and they had determined that there was a problem with their stock of nexus 6ps. I told him I would just like a replacement, I've taken my chances before I'll do it again. He tried to process the replacement request, but it wouldn't go through (how this happened I do not know). He tried again, saying my address was "deactivated" and that he again couldn't issue a replacement. Frustratingly he couldn't give me a reason why my address had suddenly been deactivated, and curiously it's only deactivated for this device. I've ordered other things since with no issue. At this point I was getting upset. He told me he had a plan. He would refund the full purchase price of the phone(originally funded from my checking card) to a gift card, at which point I could then repurchase the device with the gift card balance. This way I could effectively order a replacement purchase myself and then send the defective phone back. By taking this route I wouldn't have to wait the week or so it would take to wait for them to receive my return, then issue the refund, have the refund clear, then reorder the device. I had a problem with this grand scheme of his, the price of the phone has since increased by 50$ for each model. I told him this, and he said he would simply transfer me to the "Price adjusting department" and I could go about getting the price reduced 50$ to the original buy price. I thanked him profusely at this point, happy I was getting g taken care of. He processed the refund-in-advance and sure enough the 500$+ were there for the spending on a amazon digital gift card in my account. With this transaction conformed, he sent me onto my second contact, the price adjuster, who would price match the phone back to original sale price for me. If this sounds backwards and overly complicated, that's because IT IS! I was quickly handed off to the "price adjustment department", where the associate said he would look over the previous chat and help me. After a few minutes, the associate spit out a pre-scripted answer that was along the lines of "We try hard to ensure competitive prices at Amazon, however we only price match televisions". I couldn't believe what I had just read.. Here I am, over an hour talking to another associate in their retail department, and low and behold amazon doesn't price match anything but TVs!? What the heck? How did the first associate not know this was the policy!!? So in my complete disbelief of the situation, I did a double take of the pre-scripted rejection of my price match request, and asked him a again. I explained my horrible situation and quest to get a working device replacement and the issue with the sale price/refund/hell I've been through so far. He quickly responded with THE SAME PRE-SCRIPTED rejection line! Absolutely no way was I going to be getting a price match. I was furious at this point. And I threw in the towel. I told him I needed my money to be taken of the new gift card and to be refunded to the original form of payment. He obliged. I exited the chat. Packed up my beloved, if not perfect, nexus. And off I went to the UPS store to bid farewell to a horrendous experience with shopping here at Amazon.com. Currently, Im waiting for a newly ordered nexus 6p to arrive from Google. Hopefully this time I'll get a non-reactive device. If it wasn't such a wonderful phone at a great price, I would never have went this far. But that's the price I pay for my love of technology. Amazon really dropped the ball tech support wise. Im very disappointed and will not be ordering large ticket electronics from here again. On another note, when I looked into how come my address had been deactivated for this product, they gave me the excuse that the whole stock of Graphite Nexus 6p 64gb devices had been identified as having a problem and therefore couldn't be ordered from Amazon.com anymore. So buy this model with a caution. Even though I was told you cannot order it anymore, sure enough it's still available to order. Amazon playing Russian Roulette with hard earned dollars of their customers. I however, am doing playing that game. It's Google turn to make what amazon couldn't make right (and for 50$+ more for my troubles).

Great Phone! Be careful buying it Like New or even used!
Great Phone! A definite upgrade from the Nexus 6. Here is my review on the first few days of usage. And the differences that I don't think other people have mentioned yet. -Microphone and speakers is MUCH improved. Call quality is very good! I tested this phone near a loud fan and "Ok Google" still responded accurately! Wow! -The phone has a fingerprint scanner now! I also use a standard identification code / swipe code in case anyone tries to get in or as a backup, but the fingerprint scanner allows me to log right in from an off screen! It's so fast it's unreal! -The screen is obviously gorgeous. I compared the two phones, at a glance you really can't tell the difference since the nexus 6 also has an amazing screen. 493 vs 518ppi. A 25 pixel difference isn't really going to mean a lot for those who are upgrading phones, however the nexus 6p has a greater saturation range which is very noticeable. It's -I don't know why many people complained about this feature in the 6P but in the N6 I had issues with it, and that feature is the off screen notifications. One would have to literally wait 5 seconds after leaving the phone alone, and then pick it up again to view off screen notifs. The 6P is also improved here, all you will have to do is tilt the device towards you to view them. It works 9/10 for me when I do it this way. It also works when I pick it up N6 style. Remember that the camera is improved so I think thats why it's working so much better. So despite all the fanbaby's who love to hate this feature as much as people hate on touch wiz from samsung, it is now resolved so people can stop whining about it. -Speaking of camera, FINALLY A CAMERA THAT IS AWESOME FOR NEXUS! This camera looks and functions amazingly. It is still very minimal compared to other phone cams in terms of features but it now has burst mode and slow mo video which is a nice touch! Not to mention it's way better in low light as people have stated. -It can be held in one hand more easily than N6. It also feels lighter and is thinner so it fits better in the pocket. -Very fast! Especially with web browsing and gaming! Thanks to the octacore, and no it will not "overheat". My N6 actually heats up way more than this thing on full load. -USB C - It's the future! I love how fast it can charge my phone! Just remember to look for high capacity cables since I tried using my old cables and it never reached 100% charge Overall I am loving this phone, I'll do an update response in about a month of use to see how it holds up! Best phone ever! Just keep in mind that if you buy this item used, you better be sure you know who you're buying from. Also don't buy this device from North to South! I got a N6P from that seller and it was a lemon! He then tried making it seem like it was my fault I got the lemon and was scamming him. What a loser! Anyway be sure it's from Amazon or Huawei themselves, you'd be glad you did!

Nexus 6P its been two years so what do i think of this wonderful phone?
I just got it on 8/26/16 so its a bit to early to tell how the product is so we'll just have to wait sorry. If your not use to The Huawei Nexus 6P then your in for a shock along with all the great features comes the side of this phone and my hands are big. Inside the box is the phone, one USB-C to USB-C cable and Charger and one very short USB to USB-C cable, also one cardboard instructions sheet, booklet in 3 languages and a key, now if you're like me and never used that tech before then its time for some homework. This phone uses USB-C. USB-C is a faster data and power rate cable the end is much smaller that your regular USB connector, It won't work with your Standard USB 2.0 or 3.0 slots, it does come with one "Short" USB 3.0 to USB-C cable which is backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 slot but charging time is waaaaaay slow. so If you can use a 3.0 slot with the USB-C cable then use that. In the mean time use the wall charger as often as possible. Battery time is amazing one charge lasted me about 11 hours and i still had half he battery left. On to the nano sim. What's that you say? Nano? yes, its much smaller than your regular micro sim card, in the box came a circle with a pin on the end to open the card slot on the side, mine was so easy to install. T-moble wanted to charge me 20.00 for a nano sim, but you can buy one on here for 5 bucks so save your money. Updating was so fast compared to my other phones, this phone is a true google phone so updates were done though a WiFi connection with a full battery and it took a few minutes to update. Once that was done, it was time to download my previous apps, because of the large amounts of space, mine is the 64 gig version, but in retrospect, it might have been better to spend the extra money for 128 gigs, my previous phone only had 8 gig and with the update to lollipop filled my phones memory by half. This phone was so easy to work with, and because everything went though "Big Brother" Google all of my "everything's" was there so it was like moving into a bigger house with all my furniture inside. Amazing. So with the update on marshmallow and app download it took up about 3.5 gigs. so bye bye memory hello big phone and better performance. So far, so good. Stay tuned folks. Lets see if all this hype is bulls***. UPDATE: 5/9/2018 Its been almost two years since i got this phone, for a Google flagship phone it's had its ups and down, Google has introduced two phones since then the Pixel and the Pixel XL and the Pixel 2 and you guessed it the Pixel 2 XL and are about to give those phones a run for its money. Personally those are the same phone with differnt processors and memory. That's just my educated Opinon like faux news. I've keep in touch with other Nexus 6P owners on Reddit r/nexus6p, i've had no major issues, nothing fell off i've changed cases and the shielding on the face of this phone and WOW nothing has happen so far. I use this phone for everything from news and info, To games and VR, to shopping and porn, Everything. I get about 6 hours of good battery life, with light use. I've had 3 major updates from Kit Kat to Marshmellow and now Orieo, no bootloops so far. There was this time when the FBI put out a warning about Chinese spy's, once again hype, the mounting bullshit is amazing. Its still fast and appart from some minor hickups that was corrected by battery discharged and a full restart didn't correct this phone is a monster. Don't let anyone fool you this is the go to phone when you want solid hardward and great software. My last phone came from Blu it lasted less than a year. If you do buy this phone keep your updates going don't mess with the OS and keep this phone away from moisture. I'm keeping the phone till it dies, More update to follow.

Loving the Nexus 6P like I haven't loved a phone since my first Nokia Navigator
Im loving the Google Nexus 6P Huawei like I have not loved a phone since my first Nokia Navigator back in 19… well never mind that. Here's why. One word description: Excellent! (Use Ted's voice) Pictures say a thousand words: I have uploaded many pictures to illustrate (I hope) what the Google Nexus 6P Huawei really is all about. I have also written about a thousand words so now it's doubled. The Review In Brief The Pros: Clean "bloatware" free OS ready for personalization Huge, bright, clear and detailed screen Decent forward facing stereo speakers Sturdy metal design with clean crisp looks Top of the line cameras, both in back and front(ish) Charges super-fast (BUT see Cons #1) Holds the charge for a long time even under heavy use The "Could Go Either Way”: Size & Weight. Its large size and weight may not be for everyone. Little to nothing in the way of apps coming out of the box. USB-C Power/Data cable The Cons: Quick charge only works with the Google specific quick charger No option for wireless charging Touchy volume and power keys For now still very little in the way of accessories other than cases No SD card slot The full story: After several years of loyalty to the Samsung Galaxy lineup I simply did not feel the latest S6 was enough of an improvement over its predecessors to pay the price to upgrade. And I was going from the S4 and it still just did not seem worth it. Google to the rescue. All roads (Googling) led me to the Google Nexus 6P Huawei. Form CNET to the myriad of Android forums 6P was echoing throughout. Fine, I took the hint and bought it outright here on Amazon. Oddly it was much cheaper here than buying directly from Google. First thing to know when you get this phone is there is very little in the way of apps on it. Really just the basic Google apps and nothing else. This is a great thing. No un-uninstallable bloatware to be found. (Yes I made up a word.) No nagging apps determined to sell you some service providers "custom-voicemail-avatar-voice-to-text” upgrade or some other junk you don't want and are tired of telling them over and over you don't want. This phone is a clean slate. Look in wonder and glory at the empty canvas before you. Yes you could leave it that way and just use the very basic Google app functions. Like the basic Gmail app that can be set up with your POP mail account and works well enough to send and receive but little more. Or the clock app that really is just a clock, timer and alarm with little in the way of customization. And you would be all good with this. But why buy this beautiful blank slate only to leave it that way? Pull out your brush tool and search the web to find all the apps that fit your style perfectly and make this "YOUR” phone. Just know it has no option for expanding the memory with a SD card so keep the apps under control enough that they don't use up whatever memory size you bought. I went for the 64GB and think that should be enough for me. Sure saving to the "Cloud” is a space saver but clouds are so immaterial and I just don't trust anything that weighs 1 million pounds and hangs in the air exactly the same way bricks don't. Wait what I was talking about again. Oh yea. Memory is an issue and you are only going to get one shot at this so choose wisely. 32, 64 or 128 GB? Only you can decide what is right for you. CPU Power. The Nexus 6P is powerful enough to take on any app you can find at the moment. High graphics apps like Family Guy Quest for Stuff and The Sims Freeplay have no negative effect on it at all. Bouncing from one app to the next and back again is seamless. The Marshmallow OS is clean, quick, solid and so far very stable. Google promises that the Nexus 6P will be one of the first to get each yummy updated OS. I gotta say it's a bit hard to talk about the Marshmallow OS because there is not much to it and that's how I like it. Its fast and basically invisible. Its really hard to describe something that is invisible and does what its supposed to without issues. So lets say its just like a real marshmallow. Light and perfect just as it is. MMMmmmm.... Next lets look at size and weight of the phone itself. Its big. Really big. Like HHGG big. My pictures show it against my average sized hand and a $1 bill for scale. Because of the size I really did not want to add any further bulk by putting a case on it. Even the slim cases added more bulk than I would like. Added to this is that I bought the car mount for it (seen in another of my pictures, sorry it's not so good) and this would only fit a "Naked” Nexus. That leads me to the belt holder. You can see the phone in the "Nexus 6P Spring Clip Belt Holster - Case Free Design”. This also gives you an idea what to expect when its hanging from your belt. Yep its big. (Case Free Belt Holster found on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AITKNLI?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_25) Is it too big? Maybe for some it will be and I would suggest if you have doubts you really need to get your hands on one before dropping a chunk of change on this. Just stop anyone you see walking around with one. If they are like me they will probably give you a full demo whether you want it or not. While you're at it check out the weight. Its heavier than you are probably used to. Again for some this will be a problem issue. For me it feels sturdy and substantial. In fact other than to install the "Tempered Glass Screen Protector” I did not feel that the phone really needed a bulky case to protect it from normal bumps and moderate drops. Others have advocated the cases but Im just not thinking they are worth the size cost. Protect the screen from scratches and such but the rest of this phone feels like it can take the normal use from a desk jockey like myself. Maybe the outdoorsy folks will want the case. Me, Im staying naked. (Screen Protector found on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014SL8BWU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00) This leads us to the screen. That size has a big payoff. The huge bright screen really makes it all wort it. Especially after you load the Netflix and Amazon Prime apps, then really settle in for a binge watch of your favorite series. Yes, for the first time the screen on one of my phones is good enough that I actually wanted to watch several episodes in a row. The bright clear screen is then complimented by the set of forward facing speakers on either side (or top and bottom depending on orientation). They produce crisp clear sound that is more than loud enough for any normal use. As is to be expected they do lack in and substantial base so for those of you looking for the true movie or nightclub experience headphones will be required. Add to that your favorite document editor or even the basic stock Google ones and you now have a formidable work phone. The voice to text is close to perfect, at least for me in a quiet office and the large screen size allows for much more accurate editing of long text, spreadsheets even presentations. My office keyboard is collecting dust. So I have to mention the camera. Im a DSLR guy and old fashioned enough to want the depth of field that only a long focal length can truly provide. That said the Nexus 6P does take a great picture from the rear facing camera. Some warping on the edges of shots can be noticed at times and as always the paltry flash is all but useless at even small room distances. (It does make an adequate flashlight so not completely useless.) The Nexus 6P does compensate for the flash issues by making the most of the light but still all hype aside don't expect this to supplant a "real” camera. No phone camera will at the moment and maybe none ever will. The front facing camera is adequate at best and let's face it other than the, hopefully soon to be out of fashion, "duck-lipped selfies” it's only needed for video calls which compress the image so much anyhow that the image quality of the lens is the least of your worries. If you are trying to photograph the family picnic the rear facing camera will do very nicely and makes it easy to share with friends and family. If you are trying to create art… please just get a halfway decent DSLR. This goes double for the video functions on all accounts. Charging. I admit it. Im the guy who is always on his phone. Whether its playing games, texting, surfing watching Amazon Prime or just trying to avoid any form of social contact with the outside world, my eyes are glued to my phone almost all the time. And that's why I carried not one but two spare batteries with me for my Galaxy S4 and had chargers stashed everywhere. Because of this I was a little worried about the fact that you can't swap out the battery on the Nexus 6P. Not as worried anymore but… First week battery testing. Going all day from 5:00am to 4:30pm using the phone frequently to surf, tap in on all of my many games, texting and even a real phone call for about 15 minutes I was still in the mid 40% range while going home. I would say this satisfies me mostly but I am still going to buy a portable battery pack just to appease the power hunger. Most normal people, who don't live on their phones, will never have to worry about the battery life on the Nexus 6P. So look in your mirror app and ask yourself "do you need that much power? " Charging with Googles provided quick charger rocks. Just a few minutes from dead to full but the caveat there is that it only works with Googles charger. No other quick charger will charge it quickly. I get it Google. You want to sell your product but please do us a favor and license it out to others. I want a quick charging desk docking stand, car charger, solar charger and so on. Please don't give me the freedom of the cleanest OS out there and then shackle me to your quick charger. This is not to say you can't charge it up from any old charger or USB with power, just that it won't be that lightning fast charging you get with Googles charger. If they were a little cheaper ($40 as of 01-29-16) I would buy several and mod them to suit my desires but at $40 bucks a pop Im not risking the inevitable mod failures. Which brings us to USB-C. I really do like USB-C but I really hate having to replace all my cables. Again. From Firewire to USB, to USB Mini, to USB Micro and now on to USB-C I have cables coming out of my…. never mind. I have a lot of cables. OK so times change. Technology marches on. I even finally threw out all my old 5¼ floppies a few years ago but please, let's stick with this USB-C for a while now. OK? Anyhow the Nexus 6P does use USB-C so if you don't already own a few cables and/or converters you may want to buy some at the same time you buy the phone. At the very least a longer USB to USB-C cable so you can plug the phone into your PC and old USB chargers. The one in the package is about 3ish inches and totally useless. Which leads us seamlessly into wireless charging. I really don't understand why Google dropped it from the phone. I don't see it as a deal breaker in any way but it would have been nice. C'est la vie. Speaking of power. The power button, and volume as well are very nicely made of solid metal. The have a nice tactile feel and a little texture on the power button that helps identify it. Unfortunately it's as sensitive as Sally Struthers and twice as likely to make you cry. Just grazing it with your thumb will trigger it. Often at annoyingly inopportune moments when you can lose some points because of a locked screen. Same goes for the volume buttons that I have all too often inadvertently turned the volume off causing me to miss an important game notification. (Priorities) It would have been nice if these buttons had a little higher pressure threshold. Their positioning also lends itself to accidental pressing of a button so this is one of those things that will require some getting used to. Another small complaint related to the power button that maybe Google can fix in future OS updates. When you long press the power button it only gives the option to shut down the phone. It would be nice to have the option to reboot and maybe go to airplane mode as well. Just saying. Accessories. I like them. Lots of them. The more gadgety the better. Sadly there just is not that much out there for the Nexus 6P. (yet?) Sure there are a crud load of fancy cases and hybrid holsters but I only found the one case free "clip in” holster and had to wait 2 weeks for the car charging docking station to be released. I don't want to directly advertise outside of Amazon but Googling "Google Nexus 6P (Huawei) Car Charging Holder with Tilt Swivel” will lead you to the charging station. It's a must have. In the overall scheme of things there just is not that much out there. Hopefully there will be but so far it's a plethora of "rugged” cases and a dearth of cool accessories. Wrapping up. This is a truly awesome phone made for the Nerd in all of us. (If you have no inner Nerd don't buy this phone, go.. go get some fruit or something.) Is it perfect? No but then nothing is. That's why we invented modding. Is it close to perfect? Well… maybe but that all depends on your take on the size and weight, how you feel about battery power, your storage requirements and maybe if total control is your thing or not. The Google Nexus 6P gives you total control over what your phone has on it and how it works. With no bloat to get in the way and nothing locked down from your reach it is able to utilize its massive processing prowess to make the user experience unique to each owner. Its looks are clean and sharp with a sturdy metal feel we haven't seen in a while. For me it has been a great purchase and a new love for my phone that I had been missing for a long time. But I do wonder what ever happened to that old Navigator.

Nothing to write home about. Get the OnePlus or an iPhone.
I've had a lot of phones over my life (Palm, Blackberry, Android, iPhone). This phone is just ok. I prefer Apple's take on phones, despite how "closed" it might be. Apple's user experience is just far superior to me. However, for this product, it has features that are good, not great. And, could be great but is just ok. I'm not writing an in depth review because, frankly, I don't want to but I also don't have the time either (well I do but that's my excuse) so here's my highlights. I got this phone to sign up for Project FI. If you're unfamiliar with Project FI, it's Google's (excuse me, Alphabet's) wireless service. They use very fast public WiFi that they've either gotten rights to or that is publicly available, and use T-Mobile and Sprint for actual cellular networks. Very cost-efficient. And, by "very cost-efficient" I mean I just paid $30 for 2GB of data, unlimited talk and text (To keep me as a customer, AT&T was going to offer a similar plan, which would be pretty much bare bones, with 2GB data at around $50-60). Phone is annoyingly slow at times. UI is overly complicated in areas. Not a simple user experience (I'm a busy person and, although I have a tech job and love technology, I don't want to have to stop and click serval times to get my phone to do something. I just want it to work in a simplistic manner and take that stress out of my life). Camera is actually pretty good (considering). Sensitive power & Touch ID buttons (I don't know how many times I accidentally set them off and picked up my phone to a billion unlock number clicks that had been tapped by my thigh while it was in my pocket). Stupid face plate design because half the time I can't figure out which way is up until I feel along the back for the protruding camera bar. Battery is decent but not great (got about the same battery life out of my iPhone 6s, that ran a BETA iOS10 (which usually takes up a bit more battery life because of bugs and new features)) Anyways, this phone has reminded me what bothers me the most about Android: the user experience. Android is more like PC (Microsoft). You can do loads with it, it's free and offers decent security. I really wanted to like this phone. I'm sorry I can't. I'll be getting the new iPhone and rigging it to work on Project FI. Life will return to normal.

Truly amazing phone
Still feels new to me after a little over a month. Great stuff: -Unlocked. No bloatware slowing you down or stealing your memory. This phone is streamlined and ready for any way you want to customize it. -Fingerprint scanner. Immediate response, and perfect placement for access. No need to use two hands to unlock. -Project Fi ready. Unless you are on a family plan, or using a bargain brand carrier, you are losing money with your current plan. Check out Project Fi and see if you are ready for an unlocked Nexus 5X or 6P. -So... FAST. In April 2016, the processor is not as powerful as the latest Samsung. But unless you are willing to pay an additional $170 for the unlocked S7, you'll actually see better performance in most applications when compared to a locked Galaxy S7. Bloatware has never been more of a parasite. -Stunning camera images. Low-light images without flash look incredible on this phone. Love being able to capture time with friends without needing a flash that bothers everyone else in the restaurant or club. And there are quite a few free apps to make these pictures even better. -USB-C. Super fast charging. It's not as convenient as wireless, but I haven't missed it yet. This phone is ready for a full day after only about 10-15 minutes charging. And it fully charges in a little under an hour. -Massive screen. I didn't like this at first. But the speed of this phone lets me use it for almost all of my entertainment. Listening to my Amazon playlist while reading from my Kindle or Nook titles, and switching between networking sites, is no strain at all on 5.7 inches. Video playback is impressive, too. -Unique. It's only available unlocked. So you will have a phone that very few have, and few people have had a chance to check out. Not so great stuff: -USB-C. Google is still working on creating a car charger accessory. You will need to do a little shopping to find a car charger, and may need to purchase the charger and USB to USB-C cable separately. It was annoying. Thankfully, google has an expert actively researching cables and chargers: [...] -Unique. The selection for cases is pretty limited. Hopefully, this will improve soon. -Data usage. It prefers a stable cellular signal. If you are within a secure WiFi area, turn on Airplane Mode and enable WiFi. It will save you a lot of data.

Do not purchase this phone!!!!!
Do not purchase this phone!!!!!! There is a serious build problem with the Nexus 6P that causes a large number of these to permanently boot loop without warning--generally when the phone is 12-18 months old. The standard warranty on this phone when purchased new is 12 months. Rather than do the right thing and recall these phones Huawei and Google blamed each other and decided to ride out the warranty, telling owners when their phone died just out of warranty that they were SOL, making the Nexus 6P that people paid 600.00 or more for little more than a shiny paperweight. There is currently a class action suit regarding this phone that is gathering plaintiffs. Many people who have these are trying to dump them off on unsuspecting buyers while they still work. Mine still works but I would feel guilty selling this time bomb to somebody else so it's collecting dust in a drawer. Google is still selling this and another defective Nexus model to unsuspecting Project Fi customers. If you really must own this phone for some reason (it is rather nice while it is working other than the poor battery life) then only buy this phone from Google or Project Fi and make sure to purchase the 2-year extended warranty so you are assured of at least two years of use for your money. Do not under any circumstances purchase one of these used, even if the price seems to be too good to pass up. A Square Trade warranty will do you no good with this phone. Why? Since there is a known, pre-existing defect with this phone Square Trade can use that to void the warranty when you eventually make a claim. Square Trade will definitely sell you a warranty but whether they will honor it is another matter entirely. Even if Square Trade will actually honor the warranty there is zero chance that they will be able to fix or replace this phone because Google is saving whatever stock is left for their own customers. Square Trade will end up offering you a different phone in place of your Nexus 6P--and that's if you're lucky and they decide to honor the warranty. This was a nice phone and it's a shame Huawei and Google didn't do right by the people who paid a premium price for it. Google has reportedly replaced some of these out of warranty if you purchased the phone directly from them. However, Huawei stopped honoring out of warranty claims completely because too many were failing and they apparently made the decision that it's cheaper to deal with the lawsuit than to keep replacing these phones or fix them. If you buy this phone from anyone other than Google and don't get an extended warranty it's likely that you will eventually be very unhappy. A phone this expensive should last much longer than a year, but that's not the case for many owners of the Nexus 6P. Consider yourself warned.
