    Going naked with a pixel.

    How do you protect the pixel 2xl so well? I've babied mine and kept it in tech 21 evo case with a tempered glass screen protector, and there's already dust and micro scratches on the back glass. I also clean it with a micro fiber cloth. This thing seems to scratch easily, and I've had it since...

    I've owned everything, and the Nexus 6p is still the best!

    The Nexus 6p actually has a better sensor than the S7. More detail, shoots better in low light, and does not wash out certain detail(such as a blue sky, background info, etc) However, the lens is slightly slower. Recently, Colby Brown has been shooting with the 6p with the new Lightroom app...

    Verizon TravelPass not an option

    Thanks Cape-Cod. It's too bad I don't have an old phone with a nano-sim. Let me know if this works.

    50 dollars off until May 6th on Nexus 6p

    Mike Dee1, yes return and purchase the 128gb from google. Google's service is worth it over Best Buy. I see it as more future proof. I have had the 128gb and I have used over 45gb of storage. Just make sure you treat it with care. The Nexus 6p unfortunately scratches very easily and I have had...

    50 dollars off until May 6th on Nexus 6p

    Yes, Google will replace your phone if there's a manufacture defect. I had some issues, and they replaced my phone. There's a authorization hold(retail price, not sale price), but they remove it once they receive the defective device. They have an amazing customer service and this will last a...

    any disadvantage to buying from best buy?

    That's expensive if that's for the one year warranty. I got mine for 89 bucks for a 2 year accidental plan. Did plans go up? Now, Nexus protect is more affordable than ever before.

    Verizon TravelPass not an option

    Cape Cod, do you know if the regular travel plan will work on Verizon for the 6p? I'm traveling to Italy in July. Thanks.

    Buy from Google. They will offer a replacement service for a year if there are issues with the phone(with the exception of accidental damage). I had a buggy operating system and weak radios with my previous phone, and they replaced it free of charge. You won't have this option at Best Buy.

    any disadvantage to buying from best buy?

    Yes, you do. They have a much better warranty system. You get the manufacturer warranty whenever you purchase from a reseller. However, if you purchase it from google and let's say the phone becomes defective within a few months, they will replace the phone free of charge. The warranty lasts a...

    Battery Usage Data Not Available + excessive battery draining

    Hi there. I have been having issues with battery draining. I am still on version 6.0 of Marshmallow. At 7pm yesterday, I was at 80 percent. I was using bluetooth headphones at this time, but turned it off to conserve battery life. At 12am, it was at 40 percent battery life. I woke up to 12...

    Nexus 6P: To buy or not to buy?

    That's impossible. The HTC 10 does not have the same sensor as the Nexus. The sensor in Nexus 6p is using a sensor found in point and shoot cameras. The sensor was not made for OIS. This is the reason it was absent in the Nexus 6p(not to save money). I was at a New York event hosted by the Nexus...

    Verizon International Travel

    Hi there, Does anyone know how I can activate the regular travel plan in Italy? I'm leaving for Europe in July. I don't have access to "travel pass" on my plan. I just need data and phone calls. I also don't want another sim. I would rather use my phone number. I called up Verizon and they said...

    Cracked screen... paying Huawei to fix it (developing)

    I have square trade and they cover repairs from local repair shops. How did you find out about the Huawei local repair center? Did you contact them directly?

    How's the Build Quality Holding Up?

    Silverhwk89, I would still contact Google. As long as they identify an IEM, they should provide their service. The live-chat only takes a few minutes. While they don't cover accidental, they will cover physical damage if the problem is in fact a manufacturer defect. Hope this helps.

    Just Ordered 6P- Square Trade for insurance ?

    No problem. Just remember square trade is far superior to geek squad. It was not a mistake to pass on the Best Buy extended warranty.
