I think the Pixel XL would be a lateral upgrade, as you've said, don't really gain anything. I like the look and feel of the 6P more with the front facing speakers. The Pixel is trying too hard to be an iPhone and I prefer to go for the real thing if that's the case. If the next iPhone has a...

Lenovo is a horrible company for support. If you don't care about software updates then it's OK but otherwise, you are in for a rude awakening. Moto usually have inferior cameras. Despite that, I used to love Moto when it was run by Google and still have an OG Moto X and Droid Maxx laying...

Agreed, let's hope the camera will be as good as the 6P under low light conditions.

Agreed, I flashed Franco kernel and got 6 hr SOT with normal usage. Can get over 8 easily if I want to go for a glory shot. Everything else stock with nothing disabled to include it being connected to my Moto 360 Sport at all times. The 6P has plenty of life left, it'll be hard to move to...

If I was in the market for a new phone right now, the Pixel XL would be a contender. Since I care more about functionality than the latest and greatest, the Nexus 6P will do just fine. Android used to be fun and a hobby, if I actually want something that works out of the box, there are better...

7.1.1 has been very stable for me. More so than 7.0. Just waiting for the kernel to be released so the developers can work their magic!

EK Kernel Manager

Surprisingly, 7.1.1 addresses the battery issue. Completely stock at the moment and enjoying about the same battery life as when I ran a modified kernel on 7.0. Below are the 7.0 numbers... Only installed 7.1.1 last night so will take a few days before the phone settles but numbers are already...

I would recommend staying away from Lenovo. They've ruined Motorola. Everything from design to support have gone downhill fast. The Z modular concept is stupid. Good luck on getting updates fast, I think your post is spot on, it probably won't see Nougat until Dec 2017. Lol

The Verizon holster case is hard plastic with minimal give. When I dropped it, there was no visible damage but the internals of the phone was. A hairline crack on the motherboard and I lost my rear camera. It is bulky and ugly, I switched to the Verizon bumper case and I think it offers a...

IMO, having an unlocked bootloader is key for Google phones because unlike Apple who does an excellent job of supporting their devices long after production, Android phone manufacturer wants you to dump your phone for their newest model. On top of that, having to go to through the service...

I don't doubt it, what were you running on the MAXX? 4.4.4 SU6-7? Sent from my DROID MAXX using Tapatalk

I recommend going through their support page. Don't need to speak to anyone. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I ended up replacing my Maxx due to the camera issue. But to be honest, the phone was dropped from about 5 ft onto my tiled bathroom floor. The phone had a Verizon style holster case on and it landed screen down. There was no visible damage so I didn't make the connection. After a while, I...

In my particular case, it was WeChat and some QR code scanners. Those programs seem to mess up the camera. The best way to see if it is a hardware or software issue is to put the phone in safe mode. In my case, camera stopped crashing in safe mode so I knew it was an app causing the issues...
