That video is terribly flawed. There are many response videos showing that it's not true.

The screen was already cracked, and it may be preproduction, and it may have been dismantled already as the guy is a phone-fixer...google should sue his ass or something for damages lol.

It's like buying a brand new bmw, chopping the entire roof off with a saw, driving it into a wall, and then calling it a joke for not being structurally rigid.

Clickbait at its finest lol

so got my 6p tonight it was suppose to arrive monday

fingerprint and smudge is not really that noticeable on graphite, unless you have sweaty palms which iv seen on some youtube vids... the glass part of the camera can easily get "smudgy"

coming from me who has used nothing but a note 3 for 2 years, i have to say this phone is tall.. its thinner and feel more compact but the bezel from top to bottom makes it really tall

Just ordered mine from Rogers, currently OOS -- they said it'll likely take two weeks. Anyone know where I can buy good clear cases? The ones on Amazon are around 14.99. Also probably gonna pick up some skins on dbrand.

I ordered the aluminum as well but I'm going raw dogg. I hope the phone isn't too slippery to hold like my galaxy s6 is.

i dont know how often this happens with newly released phones

some third party cases dont have proper holes and fitting on them.. most common problem is the camera cut out in the back, the sensor is blocked out by the case

PSA: Many Third-Party Nexus 6P Cases Appear To Block The Laser Autofocus

or the usb c hole not properly fit


which is also the same for tempered glass..



i ordered the orzly clear case, hope the fitting is ok

Wind will carry the 32GB starting Wednesday.

$749.

Cheaper to buy outright from Google unless you have a subsidy.

No, the Nexus devices from the carriers are not carrier locked. They're unlocked right out of the box.

Anyone keeping up with the Type C cable situation? Google engineer is reviewing all the stuff on amazon and so far only recommends two cables to be compliant. There's a possibility of causing damage using a non compliant cable.

I'm still on the fence, I have a 6P on order but the BB Priv is also a very interesting device. Looks like I will have to test both out at the store.

Guess no cheap cables to use......

Order the Nexus 5X. Seems like a decent deal. To be honest this year there isn't much phone to be hype about. Samsung Galaxy6 6Edge, note and edge plus seems disappoited, LG G4 seems like the LG G3 expect with a few changes, HTC M9 with a failure, iphone 6s didn't bring much surprise, One plus two still needs the invite system and have tons of bugs. Moto X seems good so is the Nexus line.

Just wanted to say, the 6p has been amazing so far. Way better size than the n6 was.

Pro-tip if anyone has noticed that the deep amoled blacks seem grey in videos: don't update from the stock firmware (MDA89D) yet. Google screwed up the gamma/brightness in the most recent OTA and instead of the screen going from 0-255, it goes from 16-255 therefore you don't get true black when playing any videos on your phone (YouTube, mx player, etc.) if it relies on hardware acceleration.

If you like thin cases I would highly recommend the Ringle Slim in matte black. I have it on my Galaxy S6, very slim and also very grippy.
