Or, most people aren't going to admit that because most people seem to love the phone. If you let a thread on Reddit scare you away from this phone, that's fine - but you can't tell people who have zero issues with their phone that they actually do have an issue.
Exactly. Unless you are abusing it, it's nothing to worry about.
No, this isn't another thread about people intentionally trying to break the phone in half. People are now starting to report finding that their phones are slightly bent from normal usage.
Here's the reddit thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3rwwsf/nexus_6p_bent_after_a_week_and_a_half_of_use/
Is the 6P really as fragile as they say on TWiT and CNET? (able to be broken with just one hand?)
I know I will definitely be buying a 6P because I want to do things that I can't do on my Note 5 and LG G4.
However, a fragile phone does make me nervous. Obviously I'm not going to deliberately try to damage the phone, but what if I put it in my pants pocket like I do with all my other phones? Is it more prone to being cracked or bent? Does Google sell some kind of extended warranty that covers damages? (don't really want to go with SquareTrade again this time)
Thanks!
As ever with these things, there's a bit of a reporting bias issue. Far more people report issues (as a percentage of the whole) than do those who have no issues (or only minor gripes... there are always minor gripes). Unless there are widespread indications (ie: It is known that Marshmallow removed the ability to set a default USB mode), not just a few scattered reports (also: cracking is the most obvious failure mode for anything glass... Everyone remember the glass backs on the N4 and iPhone 4?), there's probably nothing to worry about (and if it happens to you, report it and get it replaced under warranty. No worries)
Drop the mic!This is getting annoying...seriously. How do you people believe this crap? You really think a manufacturer is going to make a phone that will self destruct by touching it with your pinky? If you are dumb enough to intentionally try bending your phone, you deserve to have it bent. Idk about those who actually believe this stuff, but I treat my hard earned belongings with care. And if something bad happens to it, I blame myself, not the manufacturer, not bend-gate, not pen-stuck-in-phone-gate, not cracked-screen-cause-i-dropped-it-on-the-concrete-gate, etc.

I have no idea how big of an issue it is, but the important thing is if it happens, Google replaces it.

TWiT never said it was fragile, they said some jerk was intentionally destroying the phone for click-bate. I have one, and it is solid. If you put it in your back pocket and sit on it - well....
A few complaints out of thousands of phones? So I'm supposed to believe this person that says the visor just shattered out of nowhere and he's saying that he knows he should use a case next time...Lol to that.
And someone said its a concern and widespread issue that the manufacturer knows about with the yellow hue...Lol to that also.
And one person out of thousands said their phone charger is broken after being dropped from 2 feet...I guess this calls for a laugh also.
I won't even address the bending issue deeply, but yes trying with all your might to bend a phone, any phone will result in a problem...common sense people.
These aren't tanks, they are cellphones, and screen color varies from device to device, mine is white, but someone else's could be either cooler, or warmer, yellow ones due make it out of the warehouse, no matter what phone we are talking about, its not a nexus 6p only problem.

Who else thinks these reports of the glass on the back of the 6p cracking is a major widespread issue? .. I've been seeing more and more of these pop up and some from people that haven't even dropped their phone and randomly notice that their glass is cracked!
So how do you know they didn't drop their phone? Were you there when all of these events happened, or are you just taking them for their word? It's not a widespread issue, when 1 person on reddit, and 2 maybe 3 people have reported it here. People today just like to overreact to things, get a grip man.
Have a feeling it may have happened when they tossed their phone on a counter. Not realizing the hump will be the primary point of contact and its glass.
