yes, test phone...the updates go to nexus phones first, nexus users use it and report problems back to google, and google fixes them...if iphone was made by several manufacturers, your comparison would be correct, but as it is the only way your comparison works is if the nexus phone was the only phone running android...and as i said, i had the g3, and now the v10...what over heating?
I am torn between the LG V10 and Nexus 6P. Which one should I buy?

Those bugs are usually phone-specific. The 5.0 upgrade may not have gone well for some Nexus 5 users, but that really has no bearing on a LG G3 or S5. OEMs start on development the instant they get the code, they don't wait for Google to address issues that may pop up in Nexus phones anymore than Samsung would wait for LG to fix theirs.
5.1.1 to 6.0 was silky smooth on my Nexus 6. Doesn't mean every phone will go as well though.

Agreed...but it is a reason some people purchase Nexus so in that case security is out the window.

If you play games I suppose it could get hot, but regular use.. GPS, camera, FB,music.. Mine never gets hot
Cool thanks. I already purchased the 6P a month ago and I couldn't be happier!

Both are nice phones
It depends on your lifestyle imo
I would go with the V10, better camera, micro SD, replaceable battery
Decent updates policy (not as fast as Nexus phones, but not bad for an OEM)
But yeah both are nice phones

Some more words about cameras, I've spent a lot of time examining pictures from the G4, which for all intents and purposes is the same as the V10, short of some added video controls...
We went on a long vacation, taking over a thousand combined pictures and videos. In bright light, the pictures from the two resulted in a dead heat.. They were both great. Indoors, at dusk it at night, the 6P's were better the less light there was... And in the printed albums my wife loves to make, she used more from my camera than hers. (There's a stickied post here about my experience, go check it out if you are curious)
As for video, the Nexus doesn't have OIS, which puts it at a disadvantage when it comes to video, buy the real story isn't as cut an dry as you'd think. We don't take 4K video... Only 1080... She then goes in and makes compilations, editing videos taken with all our stuff. The EIS on the Nexus at 1080 does an adequate enough job that you really can't tell the difference between the two as the video plays on our TV. Plus, LG augments OIS with additional electronic stabilization when not zoomed in, and the combination can lead to a tell tale wobble in certain situations... on a large screen, it can look pretty odd.
So I'm not going to post YouTube videos or tech site comparisons, I'm simply going to give you my opinion based on first hand experience, looking at a huge set of pictures taken under similar circumstances and conditions and then obsessively examined by a lunatic. I'm results oriented, so how i get to a picture isn't important, only the final result.
In fact, because of her criticisms of the G4 camera (among others, like size and battery life), I moved her into an S7. On too many occasions I heard her utter the sentence 'You said this was one of the best cameras, why is this picture not all that good'. My opinion of both the G4, V10 and the G5 (which had the same sensor) have diminished somewhat, based on what I've seen from either my 6P and now her new S7.
If you put both the V10 and the Nexus 6P in front of me and asked me to take the best picture, I wouldn't hesitate to grab Google's flagship first.
