Any Nexus 6P owners upgrading to a Pixel XL?

[Mikey88Chaos]

Not a Nexus 6P user here, but I am currently using Nexus 5, which is long overdue to switch to new phone.

I am still wondering whether I should get 6P or the Pixels.

After weighing my options I'll be going with the ZTE Axon 7. I know it sounds crazy but hear me out.

I have a Nexus 6p right now and while I do love it , I really miss having expandable storage, OIS and having a phone that keeps cool.

The Axon 7 has all that and more - for less than half the price of the new Pixel phones.

5.5 inch Quad HD Display
64GB internal storage + SD card slot
4GB RAM
2 killer front facing speakers
20MP rear camera with OIS
8MP front
2 year warranty

And ZTE announced plans for the phone to be getting android 7 and daydream ready soon.
All that for about $399 US!
You can't beat that!

I have a Nexus 6, but in all honesty, I wouldn't wanna fork over $900 for the pixel xl, just I'm just not convinced the price is justifiable enough imo. I'd go with the Galaxy Note 7(post recall) or just wait for the OP4 and see what that'll bring.

Am I the only one with issues with 6p screen not going on to full bright fast enough when a call comes in when in bright day light? Also, I might also be having mic issues. I plan to keep the phone as a spare when I get my Pixel XL.

Yes. It takes a little while to brighten up.

I ordered the quite black 128gb. Coming from a Nexus 6p, I think it will be worth it. No front facing speakers is a bummer (which they could did), but we can't get everything we want in a smartphone. As far as the price. We are spoiled, because of past Nexus 4,5,5x maybe the 6,6p. If Google never would have done that. Would we be having this conversation about the Pixel price? The price is up there with Apple, Samsung and LG. Save your money or don't buy it, or buy a mid-range phone.

That's my favorite part of the look of the phone.

Whatever floats your boat.

I personally think the S7 Edge, Iphone 7 and Nexus 6P all look better.

I don't think any of those look better. Note 7? Sure, but not those three.

I love my 6P, however I ordered the XL and am looking forward to all the new stuff!

I am still in love with my 6P, but am inclined to upgrade just for the sake of having a "new" phone. The only thing holding me back is the fact that the Pixel does not have dual front firing speakers. I will be looking forward to what MKBHD has to say when his review on the Pixel comes out.

Me as well, but now the 6P has become 2nd class citizens because the Pixel will get updates first. I'm just waiting for some more stock and then I will purchase one also.

Upgraded around 1 hour after introduction. Was watching my Fi pages to purchase and grabbed one. Hopefully it will ship in the next few days.

I have a Nexus 6p and was going to keep it for two years. After watching a few videos and seeing the bigger picture, I ordered a very silver 32gb. The Nexus line is dead and since Google is moving forward, I might as well also.

Clever thinking

Staying with my 6p. I had the Note 7 for 2 weeks before returning it for a refund and going back to the 6p. Made me realize how truly awful the screen on the 6p is...total wash out in direct sunlight and overall pale in comparison. And fingerprint smudge seems to accumulate much more on the 6p screen. Hearing nothing in this announcement about the pixel screen I have to assume it is no better than that of the 6p, so that is a fail for me. I also cannot stand the bezels/forehead/chin on the pixel. And I was surprised by how much I liked the wireless charging on the Note 7. I would have gone to the s7e, but I won't go back to micro USB.

Going to wait and see what the galaxy s8 brings, as that announcement is only 3-4 months away.

It's a different manufacturer, why would you think the screen would be the same? HTC screens, the two I've seen outside anyway, seemed fine out in the light???
