Re: Nexus 6P Unboxing MKBHD
true. I've read quite a bit of Marshmallow reviews. And I hope Google will be able to reign in developers that think their notifications are "priority" and can interrupt Doze. But I'm thinking that while I'm at work, Doze will more than likely kick in when I'm focused in on the task at hand and ignore my phone for a few hours. I guess we'll see. I still haven't had an Android device recently (last year and this year) that could match the battery life of my iPhone 6.

He says battery life on standby is amazing, but nothing worth noting on SOT

Re: Nexus 6P Unboxing MKBHD
I think you've been putting too much stock today on what Vergara said. I'm struggling to remember any smartphone that has surpassed around 3 hrs of SOT under "heavy use" and that includes Xperias and Notes which are among the best known models for battery life. I've put both through heavy use days and watched them drain faster than my bladder after a dozen pints.

Re: Nexus 6P Unboxing MKBHD
I'm one of the few people in my circle of friends who have an Android device (Note 4). Virtually all of them have iPhones and they constantly have battery issues. They typically can't get through a day without have to plug in. My fiancee has the 6+ and always has to have a portable charger in her purse because she will inevitably run out of battery.

Re: Nexus 6P Unboxing MKBHD
My Nexus 6 battery is greatly improved and the standby time is excellent, still not as good as my Iphone's but very close. Google has finally got that phone running fantastic after a few updates. I'm still running 5.1.1 and hope 6.0 doesn't set it back. if they can do that with the Nexus 6, I'm confident the 6P will be good also. I just hope it's good out of the box.
I've heard this also. I think it depends how we each use our phones. When I set up my Iphone, I pretty much leave it alone and don't do much with it, until i need it. With my Android phones I'm constantly playing and tweaking with it. People who are heavy Iphone users don't seem to get all that great of battery life from what I've read. Having said that, your story, about your fiancee, is the first I've read about anyone having trouble with the 6+ battery.
It just goes to show, that everyone's uses are different. That's why I honestly would rather have a phone in my hand before watching reviews. Being a small Youtube reviewer myself, I feel like I've bought enough phones than the normal person, and know just as much as some of the reviewers.
Don't get me wrong, I like the reviews, but it's only because it gives me something to watch and live vicariously through the reviewers while waiting on my phone. I would just rather get the phone myself, because sometime I don't always agree with some of the reviewers, and my experience is different some of the time.

Re: Reviews thread
That's not really a "review" as much as it is a first impressions (albeit poor ones) and overall specs list.

Re: Reviews thread
And so it begins with the SOT. Seems it might be all over the place.

Re: Reviews thread
Standby has improved a lot on 6.0. My Nexus 9 has been on standby for a over 5 days now (I decided to see how long it could last). Before that I would be lucky to get standby with 2 days.

You can change the Moto XPE to have a more vibrant look. Not sure if it will give you the same look and feel as an AMOLED though.

Re: Reviews thread
And they will continue to be and everyone will complain regardless lol. It's a never ending cycle of people being impossible to please.

Oh I know it's one of those benchmarks I do not bother with. Everyone uses the phone differently.

You got the right idea, sir (or madam). I prefer things can be more statically (for lack of a better term) measured rather than something w/ a ton of variables.

Re: Reviews thread
I ended up going with the Moto X Pure and I hear battery life is bad but I have have heard other stories as well. I figure I will know once I start using the device.

Re: Reviews thread
That's possibly my next phone but they have to keep drive features which there's a rumor they're dumping it w/ the marshmallow upgrade. It's very valuable for my commute.
FWIW, I've heard the exact same about the battery on that phone. My boss just got it and so far, he's a huge fan. This is coming from the Nexus 5... another FWIW lol
