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

[maxburn]

It's the best phone I've had yet but there is a lot of room for improvement. Too big and screen is still inaccurate even with the developer thing turned on. Back light sensor is wacky in low light and Bluetooth has issues.

Are you running the developer preview of N? I only ask because I think the adaptive brightness has been tweaked. It doesn't seem to just cycle up and down for no reason any more. I could be wrong though.

Enjoying my device more and more every day. While I liked my MX Pure, I really feel like this phone just hits it out of the park. May stay put until 2017...Which would be a long stretch for my phone addicted rear end.

Since December of 2015, I've owned a Nexus 6 (bought the 64gb on Black Friday for $249 via Amazon), the Moto X Pure (bought the 64gb in early March for $375, and later traded the Nexus 6 for what turned out to be an iPhone SE 64gb), and the Nexus 6p (bought the 128gb from Amazon on Prime Day [July 12] for $475. I loved my Nexus 6 and really loved my MXPE, but this Nexus 6P is the best. Like you, I will probably be with this phone until 2017.

The phone is lightning fast, durable, smooth and finally it's fantastic on battery including Nougat and extreme doze!

I second that.

I now have two Nexus phones -- 6 & 6P. In my opinion both are better than the HTC's I have owned -- One M7, M9 & A9. No more HTC for me.

I had the Nexus 6, but now have the MXPE and the Nexus 6P. I feel the same way you do.

God I've had so many in the past year alone.

HTC 10
Lumia 950
Passport Silver Edition
S7 Edge
LG G5
Blackberry Priv
IPhone 6
Galaxy Note 5
Asus Zenfone 2
Moto G
Moto X Pure
Blackberry Classic

I'm sure I missed one or two. The point is that this is absolutely the best phone I've owned. Size is perfect. Screen build is solid. My Bugdroid case looks amazing on it. Front facing speakers are great. I know people hate the camera hump on the back but I think it looks awesome. Only the Priv comes close in looks and wow factor.

Why do Android users have to try so many different phones? Maybe iPhone users are right when they say “if you had an iPhone you wouldn't need to keep switching out phones every month. ”

Perhaps it's because with iPhones, one isn't given a choice.

That is like a guy owning only one pair of shoes criticizing or needling the guy that owns ten pairs of shoes because he wears a different pair every day.

Android users know that there are different features available on different model phones and each one of those phones offers different options. iPhones just are what they are. Period. No reason to switch them out if you don't care about customization.

Funny statement, but I don't believe that's the case. iPhone users mainly are tied to apples ecosystem, much like my wife, and have zero interest for Android. With that said, iPhone comes in a single format through and through other than size. Exactly what the other person said, it's related to customization and OEM features/benefits.

I used to change my phone every 6 months, I would never get the latest but a year behind as it's financially easier. Even now I got a 6P in June, so almost a year old and have zero intentions to change or update for a long while. Nexus is the way to go for me, I tried Samsung and LG...nice features but vanilla is just simpler, faster and security releases on time, for me.

I wasn't criticizing. And your shoe analogy isn't even close to the same as having 5 different phones in a year, and I won't even explain why.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to make it seem as though YOU were the one criticizing. You were CLEARLY stating what you have heard many iPhone users say, and that IS how I understood that. My response was just not clearly worded, and for that I apologize. I also agree that 5 different phones in a year are a bit much.

That being stated, even if one only had two or three phones, my reasoning IS sound. An iPhone user should not have more than one recent iPhone, for they only make one type in different sizes. An Android user, on the other hand, can. While my analogy is certainly exaggerated, the concept is true. The "iPhone users" statement is the statement that is illogical, for the precise reasons that I've stated.

This was not an attack on you by any means, rather I was commenting on the statement. Sorry again for any misunderstanding on my part. It was really all in fun.

My wife is probably like the VAST majority of smartphone users; she could care less about tweaking a phone, or that iOS won't let you decide that you only want five icons on the home screen and that you'd like to put them any where you want (come on Apple, really, you guys can't/won't incorporate that?!?). With iPhones, having different phones is pointless as they are all identical (except size). Hell, I just saw an iPad Pro and even with that big damned screen it's still only a 4 x 5 icon matrix!

I like the control and creativity Android allows. You can buy different phones and try out different features, sizes, cameras, etc. Arrange the screen anyway you like, widgets, etc.

Oh man, so many analogies can be applied here. Maybe watches? They all serve the same purpose. Phone cases? Similar argument. Hell , cologne? Shoes? . Etc. No one needs to switch those things out, but most people do.

Personally it's just a hobby. Point is you said why do we "have to" try so many different phones. No one really HAS to, it's just fun to do. I had an iPhone. It was cool. But from a nerd standpoint, boring.

This is the most perfect description of why I'm an Android. Well said.

6p fixes everything that was wrong with the n6.

I concur with your assessment. I love the phone but hate the way the sensor does or doesn't adjust the brightness. And I continue to have Bluetooth issues with the device. I don't have the same issues with my Note 5.

Running the latest preview, too.

 

[carlos12001]

Yep, still loving mine. I see no reason at all to switch.

It is a good phone. I still wish it was not so big (same screen size, but slightly smaller) and I could move the buttons. I also wish the proximity sensor worked better. Otherwise, I have a hard time finding issues with it.
