Android Central,
Although I love all Nexus devices (even the Nexus Player!), my choice between the two phones would be the Nexus 6P. I was initially skeptical of its periscope-like aesthetic, but after seeing the phone in person I've come to love that strange glass bar as a differentiating feature of the device. Growing up I have always been on Verizon, which aside from my Galaxy Nexus, has kept me from enjoying many of the Nexus devices that have come along. My cellphone experience has been one of "Nexus Envy," always flashing custom roms to try and come close to the experience of those devices. This coming September I will be leaving the United States for the first time to live in Belgium and attend grad school for at least a year, which means I finally get to end my tyrannical contract that I've had with my family through Verizon. I would love to have a phone with me that could work on European carriers, granted without 4G, that I could still bring back to the United States later. I am passionate about Android and would love to continue to use an Android phone to keep in touch with my family and friends while I am overseas. The Nexus 6P's fantastic camera would be a great way to document my adventures!
Happy Holidays!
Eric
