I understand for the most part that the 6P is fine phone as far as hardware goes but the software is all Google/Android. I have read about several QC issues.
The complaints? Well, one of our most important roles here is to help.... people from all over the world congregate here, asking questions, voicing concerns, needing assistance for issues that are above their own skill level. So we have a disproportionate amount of reports of issues because a disproportionate amount of people with issues end up here. That applies for EVERY phone.
I've had my 6P for... good three months now. I can honestly say without hesitation that, overall, it's the best phone I've every personally had my hands on and used and I've had none of the issues that I've seen reported here. In fact, I really haven't had any real issues with any of the phones I've purchased over the years... and since I am not that lucky a person, that just illustrates that anecdotal evidence of an issue is just that, anecdotal. And I have ZERO doubts about the hardware chops over at Huawei... they know how to make a phone.... their software, which thankfully is nowhere to be seen on the 6P, has a lot to be desired, but they concede nothing any of the other OEMs when it comes to building a nice phone.
Will it bend? Sure.... I could pick it up now and snap it in half.. but I could do that with any of the other larger screened phones. Maybe it's not as resistant to bending as some others, but it'd still come at a level of stress far higher than I would reasonably expect a phone to be subject to without snapping in half.
Back to HTC.... they are similar to Huawei in the sense that I have no hesitation about their ability to build an excellent phone. All those HTC Ones were build beautifully well. It's the
choices that HTC made that caused their problems... choices that Google would be making in this case.
