Am I the only person feel the back of the Nexus 6P is ugly - Nexus 6P General

It looks like a Squid or a racoon, have to buy a case to hide it......

I like it. But then again looks are subjective.
I personally find it a nicer looking phone than the nexus 6 from Moto.

It has a distinct look, and I'm not so sure there are any other phones with that black bar for antennas.

Originally yes. However the better pictures of it look much better and I like the Graphite look quite a bit now.

looks like cyclop's phone..i personally dont like it but i will eventually get used to it

Yeal ,I think too ,but the Nexus 5x is more ugly than 6p
Do you think 2G RAM is batter than 3G RAM?

The initial renders had me a little worried, but after seeing it via the "hands on" videos... I don't think it looks bad at all.

The side view reminds me of Bender

Many also think this is ugly but it looks absolutely beautiful to that trooper pinned down on a hillside.

^^^^^That comparison makes no sense.
I am fine with the look of the phone, I'm more concerned about the screen than the back of the phone, I mean how often do you stare at the back of your phone?

Honestly, if the back actually looked like a raccoon, I'd like it even more. Call it the Nexus Raccoon and take my money Google.

Props to your point. My favorite fighter/attack aircraft.
Back to the topic, I think the all metal finish makes up for the camera hump. When the 6P leaked I wasnt impressed. Now I think it's quite attractive.

That's it!
Should be named 6B , B for Bender!

Put a case on it; problem solved.
Mod Edit

Makes perfect sense to me @Big Cam. The term beauty can refer to function over form like that beautiful machine ^^^^^ and the N6P.

I hated the look at first when I saw the leaks, but after seeing real photos, especially the graphite black, it looks much nicer. I think if it was plastic it would look a lot worse.

Overall design is ugly. Bezels huge, back dull.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A

You are definitely not the only one, but I think it looks just fine. It's a great looking phone, I don't really care about what they did on the back, it's not hideous or anything. Of course this is a completely opinion based argument. There's no facts being discussed here.

At least it doesn't look like an iPhone! It's nice to have a phone with a little character.

Buy a case thats what I am doing, I'm not liking the black bar myself. But a case will fix that

[Concept] WHITE Samsung Galaxy Ace

update2: it's funny to see that so many people used this image as promotion picture =_=
Just do a reverse google image search on the image....
update: Unexpectedly Samsung actually released SGA in white a few months later.
Ever since Samsung Galaxy S II got a white version I became curious how a SGA would like in white.
The white backplate makes our device half white, and it doesnt really match the black front imo.
So here is a concept of how it would look like if the front was white too:
Better or worse?
White looks better with white in this case, so in conclution it's better imo.
(I used GO launcher ex for the homescreen if you wonder.)

I sighed cause we know it's never gonna happen haha.
I've been looking for ways to make my front panel white, e.g. look up chinese mock up front panels or something, but I haven't found anything of the like.
If anybody knows if this is doable, or if it happens later, can somebody please msg me about it, or something?
Thanks. I like white better.
Mine is half white half black, it came with two covers.
I am halfway to that ! haha

What kind of paint did you use? I'd like to do mine orange...
From the front it looks awesome, not to much on the back(just my opinion). Think if you would've left the back black and just painted the kickstand and the HTC yellow it would've been pretty sick. Again,not trying to be a **** just my opinion.
Nice job, that looks pretty nice actually. Looks terrible with the blue case though ;-)
Yellow with the red kickstand would have been really sexy though

I agree with some of the other guys ..I wouldnt of paint the whole back yellow..and the paint isn'tsmooth in a couple areas...its. not for me since I'm happy with the phone as is..but I applaud your bravery

Ditto. I feel the yellow was overdone. It also looks like it was one thick coat sprayed on in haste. A few very thin coats would have come out great (I'll bet this one stays tacky for a while, or it will chunk off if it catches a nail or something) but, of course, it's all personal preference.
I think it's a fantastic idea but you shouldve kept a 2 color thing going. Maybe black and yellow as one mentioned around the camera and kickstand,

Cool idea! I like the orange. I agree with the others tho, a two tone would look nicer. I was actually expecting to see a yellow/black combo based on the thread title.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I will take them into consideration.
I'm still waiting for my pre-order of the full clear body skin from bodyguardz. Consider it a pre show ... I'll update once I get all the fixin's and accessories...
Nice! Can't go wrong with some contrast like black kickstand to represent bumblebee stripes.
I think it would've looked a lot better if you kept the highlights a different color, a solid color phone doesn't look that appealing to me.
But nice job, if you like it, that's what matters.

[Q] Return for GS3?

What's going on guys?
I need some opinions here...
I do love my Droid DNA. The screen is crisp, I like the camera and I love the form factor.
I honestly don't know how long I can deal with the screen being this big. It kind of hinders the experience for me.
The reasons I am considering returning this (Verizon offers the 14 day window) and getting a GS3 is because I want Cyanogenmod (and prefer the 1 click root method, don't want to risk really damaging my phone messing with ADB) and for the size as shown above.
What do you guys think I should do?

A lot of it is psychological imo. You know its 5 inches, so it feels huge. My Gnex is 4.65 inches and isn't that much smaller. I believe the GS3 is around the same size, if not a bit larger.
Don't mind the mess, I was helping my daughter with her homework.
It looks huge here:

But when you look at it a little differently, not so much.
This one has my gnex on top.
DNA 5 inches GSIII 4.8 inches. Not worth it. .2 inches bigger with great cam quad core and 1080p. Stick with DNA. After getting to used to it doesn't feel that big.
Yea dude if you were to go to the gsiii you would be kicking yourself in the rear ...
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Not much size difference at all...
You should move on. Sure, you'll cry later....
I would like to throw this out there. I messed with my step-daughters GS3 2 days before getting the DNA and I absolutely hated the hardware home button. After using a touch button for years I had to stop and readjust my hand every time I had to push the stupid home button.
Just my 2cents
I agree with everyone that's posted so far. The S3 is barely smaller, and the hardware button is extremely irritating (my girlfriend's mom got one and that stupid button, along with the lack of Sense, was driving me crazy). The screen is also annoying, with the AMOLED part of it messing with the colors and the Pentile part of it creating that criss-cross pattern whenever you look at a white background. Plus the build quality on the DNA is infinitely better.. I've never been a fan of Samsung build quality.
In short, keep the DNA!
Thank you guys for all of these helpful posts and for the pictures! It helps. I am trying to sit tight and wait for a potential Cyanogenmod release. Then I can probably deal with the size.

do you think they will have an AOSP ROM out anytime soon? Or s off? I'm in the same boat as the OP, only not because of the size but because I don't like using ADB. I'm coming from the Droid Razr Maxx and everything was so simple before but this device doesn't suck stock.

A nice Folio Case with a range of colors to choose from for the Nexus 6?

The nexus 6 is HUGE and I like using skinny jeans, basically a terrible combination , to walk around town or ride the train the nexus 6 can fit on the jeans, the problem arises when I ride my bike (which I often do) I feel like I'm going to bend the phone or it is just gonna slip out of my pocket and hit the pavement, so I carry it on my backpack, but I don't want it to get scratched.
I want a folio case to protect it while it is on my bag, something like the official case mate folio case, but with nice colors like the range of colors the HTC Dot View case has instead of the muted black fake leather
No, I didn't know you liked using skinny jeans. Noted.

It's just a flip case, no window.

Not nearly as bad as the first renders. I don't mind it at all. I'll have the graphite color so it will be less obvious as well I believe.
Totally, completely, utterly... don't care about it.
To me, it looks fine. If anything, it gives this phone some identity. I'm the kind of person that needed a case for the N6 (so damn slippery!), but didn't want one that hid the Nexus name. This bar will stand out, and scream Nexus like never before.

I went with the same, for the same reason:good:
I don't mind it at all, its barely protruding and the phone looks like it'll actually sit still when I set it on a table. Which the Nexus 6 doesn't (it spins) because the back is sooo curved. Also graphite ftw! It barely looks noticeable with black on black.

I had real concerns looking at the first renders. It looked huge. Its pretty insignificant now that I've seen the phone in people's hands (on video). And I bought one of the 20 dollar Google cases in black which will make it null anyway.

Same here...I like it, but still grabbed the graphite 128 GB version just in case it is a bit more obtrusive than it looked during the presentation.
Besides, it's way more fun to get excited about the device that I bought than to kvetch about it before I even have it.
#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
Completely agree with Badouken, my N6 spins away when I try to type on it while it lays (not flat) on the desk.
My biggest concern is actually overall size. I've never had a phone bigger than the LG G3, and I hope I won't hate the phablet size.

This N6P should fall between the N6 and G4.

I dont think it will be noticeable at all really in a case ....... either way I got the graphite one so it looks like silly.
Should have got aluminum, then it would really be Benderesque
I kinda dig it because it will keep the phone flat on the table unlike some other flagships I've had of late. I got the graphite to help it blend in a bit. And the hump is affectionately referred to as the "Visor" within the nexus team [emoji14]
My fear was that the glass back would be raised above the body and lead to scratches, but it looks like it's slightly recessed. It will be nice to use a phone on the table without it rocking.

I bought the graphite as well but i like the look it it. The bump gives the phone character compared to the bland look of other phones lately. I'd rather have a large hump than a single bump like the iPhone/nexus 5x/S6 etc....

Same here! Plus, I'm thinking a bit ahead and think the graphite's black button where the fingerprint scanner is will complement a DBrand skin very well!
The bump is irrelevant if you go for the graphite, but otherwise - it's nowhere near as bad looking from the side, but I could definitely see people not liking the colour juxtaposition.
