    Someone had asked about battery life a while back. I've had the phone for almost 2 months now. Battery life is excellent - best of any "Nexus" caliber phone I've had. I easily go all day, using it for work and reading news, YouTube, Xfinity TV, etc. The thing that drains it the most is...

    My 6P died the "bootloop death" so I can't compare now, but here's what I know. The 6P was so good, I had completely forgotten that outdoor visibility was even an issue with phones, and I live in a bright place and use a boat a lot. It hadn't even crossed my mind for a long time. The first time...

    To the question on battery life. Superb so far. You can imagine the use a NEW phone gets in the early days of ownership. So far, I've finished every day without a recharge no problem. And, it may be obvious, but it fast chargers using the fast charger from my 6P as well as the one that came...

    Thought I would share my post from another forum: Moto X4. Great phone. I got the Fi version. I've had Nexus 4, 5, 5X and 6P. This phone is right in there. Specifics: Screen: great quality, I can't tell any difference in vibrancy, density, clarity, etc. It looks great. Larger than the 5X...

    Stone leather

    I agree! I was worried with all the negative comments, but surprisingly, I love mine and have gotten lots of compliments on the watch while wearing it. It does go with just about everything.

    Initiating Voice Actions and Voice Search

    There is, of course, a separate Voice Dialer app from Google that still works great.

    Initiating Voice Actions and Voice Search

    Yes. Someone built a button specifically for G Nexus and it works great. Search the market for "Google Voice Search Button-GN" by GiantTurtle. Also, here's a list of the voice commands available: LINK. It all works great for me EXCEPT CALLING A CONTACT - which of course is the one I'd like...
