looking to buy N6

You guys with the N6s don't find the CPU throttling at low battery a problem? Ive heard it's super laggy at times.

I wouldn't know, I've never been below ~60%...........

You might be better off asking about that on a gaming forum or a subreddit like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/

I've run across more complaints about Nexus 6 gaming performance on reddit than I've ever seen here. But then again there are always more negative snarky posts on reddit than here. I'm not a gamer myself, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the newer 6P would handle more games more efficiently than the 2014 N6.

I didn't realize that there was CPU throttling, except when switching to low batter mode at 15% (which I believe can be disabled). Is that what you guys are referring to?

But like Wiley, my battery rarely dips below half a tank, primarily (in my case) because Qi wireless charging is so easy, my phone stays topped off most of the time.

Speaking of that.. this is still a great flagship quality phone, with IP67 and Qi charging (which Apple still doesn't have.. unbelieveable).

The Nexus 6 isn't rated IP67. It's just water resistant.
