I've got a Nexus 6P here, lets get some questions going!

I'm most curious about the feel of the device - to me, the Nexus 6 (and other Moto phones) feel... cheap? Not as cheap as older Galaxy devices, but still, even the glass feels plastic-y. As opposed to the iPhones and some of HTC's devices, which feel like metal and glass.

Does the 6P feel as premium as an HTC or Apple device? Does the front feel like glass or have that sort of plastic tactility that the Nexus 6 has?

Also, what is going on at the bottom of the device on the back - it almost looks in photos like a metal colored sticker?

Does it have double tap to wake?

The next Samsung phone (Samsung galaxy s7). Worth waiting on the next generation of professors or just buy now? I know that I can always wait on something better, but I heard that the snapdragon 810 isn't the best processor (heating)...

I think the point is more "it's pretty hard to compare a real phone in people's hands to a mythical phone that doesn't exist and we have no idea what it might be if/when it comes out"

A few questions..

1. Do you miss QI wireless charging? (not much of a user myself)
2. Is it a good upgrade from the Motorola Nexus 6?
3. Does the metal body really feel much better than other phones?

How are the speakers and the sound quality from a headset?

My point was if its worth upgrading from my OPO or wait. I am buying a new phone one time every other year.

Really interested in the speaker volume and clarity. 1) Music/movies 2) speaker phone.
I have a note 3 and it sucks.

It's plenty fast with the included cable. Easily just as fast as QC 2. I'm going to do some testing with other cables and existing power adapters to see how it holds up.

Thanks for that. A writeup about what chargers can be used to quick charge the 6P would be really good...i have so many QC 2.0 chargers (including a car charger) and hope they'll work with the 6P properly.

Can you take some selfies so we can see the front camera quality? I have a new baby that loves taking pictures with my old lg g2

And can you take a picture of the notification light so we can see brightness and location? (I think it has one!)

Not very bright at all, but gets the job done.

Does it support band 12 out of the box?

It feels solid. Not quite as slick as the M9, but very much what we've come to expect from high end metal phones. It's not quite as grippy as I'd prefer given the size, but it gets points for premium.

The front glass feels like Gorilla Glass. Not much else I can say there.

The bottom feels the same as the rest of the back. Just separate for easier access I imagine.

The N6 was quite slippery. I usually use naked phones, but the N6 was so slippery feeling that I absolutely felt it *required* a case. How about the N6P? Pulling it out of your pocket, does it feel stable in your hand, or does it feel like you're about to drop it every time?

Speakers are very nice. Not quite as capable as the M9 Boomsound, but thoroughly enjoyable.

No. Even if it did, Adaptive Display and fingerprint to wake make it so you'd never use it.

There's literally no answer to that since no one knows anything about a Galaxy S7 except for that Samsung will probably release one. If you think the 6P is a good phone, buy it. But don't wait based on a phone that aside from the fact that it is probably coming out in 6 months or so from now, we literally know nothing about.

What this guy asked.

 

[weiny]

I see there is a notification light at the top left of the phone. Does this work right out of the box or does it need to be tinkered with to get it to work? This was one of my favorite features on the Nexus 5 because i was able to set colors for different apps and know when i got a message without taking it out of my case.

What build number and build date do you have on your review unit?

 

[Soulfulgrey]

This may be a bit super specific do ignore me if it is. But how well does the GPS work? I have a Nexus 5 which was decent, and then took a hit on Marshmallow. But even so, I use GPS all the time as I drive a lot.
