SOLVED! What phone can replace the Nexus 6P [life help] - Nexus 6P General

I decided to get a mint black HTC 10 from swappa, sooo much smaller and everything else is just as great. miss HDR+ but love everything about it. thanks for all your help everyone!
ORIGINAL POST BELOW
So I love my 6P, battery life if not so great but I absolutely love the camera! as do most friends and family always saying my pics look amazing!
Anyway, I really hate having a large brick (nexus 6p) in my pocket. I thought in time I would adjust but it's been over a year and I still dislike how large it is -__- so question is simple.... what phone 5 inch ish would you switch too? as far as camera's go, right now I think Moto G5 Plus is the closest thing (with wide pixels 1.4um) but it seems the phone is kinda big also.
Fire away and help a brother out with phone recommendations! Thanks!

I've had my eyes on OnePlus, but I'm waiting for the 5.

I don't think I could go back to a screen any smaller than 5.5 inches now. It can be unwieldy for sure, so I get that it isn't for everyone. I did love my s6 edge size wise though, and that was only 5.1 inches.

iPhone 7 and no I'm not trolling

What? You're joking right? The 6p camera is only alright, while the s7 is one of the best. I'm pretty sure you're being facetious though.

Well every single review says otherwise, and as someone who takes a lot of photos in different conditions, even my s6 edge blew it out of the water. You can subjectively feel how you want, but you're factually wrong.

i did see it on htc website but hoped it coups be had for cheaper considering i paid $450 for my new nexus 6p last year

if u can afford a google pixel then go ahead if not i advice with the Nexus 5x, it has a wonderful camera especially with the HDR+ . but if u want a bigger size then go for the Oneplus 3T. but staying in google phones would be better to keep having the latest software updates.

OFFICIAL Nexus 10 2 specs and pic!!!

I really like the RAM amount and the Snapdragon 800 cpu.
I'm definitely getting one of these!
Speakers
I really hope this is just a design some one has done as I would really miss the front facing speakers make the decision weather to get it that bit harder

The original source of the story, phonearena.com has cast doubt on it since the picture was photo shopped and they checked their records on the tipster: (I cannot post links yet, but it was easy to find with Google)
From their article:
UPDATE: After a more extensive research, we believe that these are likely fake. This is not simply because the icons on the Nexus 10 2013 were obviously added later -- this could have been done for illustrative purposes anyway. It's because, after delving deep into our tips database, we concluded that this particular tipster has a track record of sending content of dubious authenticity

I am not saying either is fake, and I am hopeful it is announced/released soon, but phonearena added a caveat to their story, and it is the source all the other's are quoting or copying from. So I remain hopeful but suspect.
I hope it isn't fake, but who knows?
I do find it really odd that there have been so many Nexus 5 leaks but nothing on the new 10 yet.
The designs leaked so far look superb, and I would definitely be wanting to get one.

Have to agree with you on those two points.
The only things I don't like are the cost and all the Samsung bloatware. Not sure if I'd use the S pen either....

I thought that, until I used it for a week. Now the bloatware is coolware in how S pen integrates with the environment so well.
After using a system that has S Pen, I'm not sure I could work without one.
I used a capacitive stylus with my Nexus 10, and seriously there is NO COMPARISON to S Pen. S Pen has the ability to register the pressure and more, so the ability to the graphic artist is a leap over SIMPLE TOUCH.
Yeah, it's that cool, if you'll use the stylus. Even casual note taking is great.
I think this is the reason Microsoft added it to the Surface 2.
Touch alone is sooo 2009/2010.
I would not get a tablet with such a tiny bezel. I love the Nexus 10's bezel. The rounded sides are also quite nice. I think it's highly underrated.

Oh.. I think you'll see TWO new Nexus 10 models.
Nexus 10 from Samsung with existing specifications and 64GB.
Nexus 10 from Samsung with 64GB and unlocked sim LTE.
The 16GB will be retired (just like the Nexus 7 8GB edition was). 32GB will be the new low end.
Just like the Nexus 7 line that had the 32GB and 3G/HSPA+ models silently release, the Nexus 10 updates will also be a silent release (no launch party).
But with the changes, you'll see the pricing drop so that the 64GB is close to the same pricing the 32GB is currently.
Launch party will be Nexus 5 and Kitkat 4.4
I have to give my friends Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition back this week. Based on the experience, the S Pen truly compels, but I'm going to stick with my N10 for a while longer. July 2014 is when you'll likely see the N10 2014 edition.

Are they? Posted on their website yet?
You are reading media hype until it actually ships.
Lets see the proof:
1. Point of sale system shows "ASUS" made N10. Has anyone entering data for stores/warehouses never made a mistake, not once?
2. Leaked Press "render". If I was part of the press, I could photo-chop all sorts of tablets and say it's a render based on educated guesses. Stretch an ASUS N7 and folks looking at it would say, "hey that looks like ASUS!"
Questions:
A. Where are the parts order news items you normally see with the ramp up of a product? Usually there'll be leaks of the back shell, etc.
B. Samsung wouldn't have this as they are not just a parts assembly company, it's all in house for the most part. ASUS would have LDC panel orders, etc. Yet it's oddly quiet.
C. What was Sundar Pichai saying? Sure the head of Chrome and Android teams could be wrong, or his quote was taken out of context by Amir Efrati.

Whew hew!! I just wanted to see the thing longer than 2 minutes... glad he booted it up and showed a few things at least!
I'm not much for unboxing, but at this point I'll take anything showing this badboy Nexus6 P!
Lol, that was a second unboxing.
That phone booted up with an unlocked bootloader? Is that normal? lol.

From what I know, this was at a Google event in India. He doesn't have the phone for personal use. This was probably a shared unit that Google gave to the press so they could have an "unboxing video" for the public. You can even see the seal is broken before he starts to open it.

I called Google and spoke to the rep because I ordered a graphite 128gb Sep 30th and my card is still missing the money after 13 days now and the lady says they are sold out of that model so I need to wait until they build more wtf...Google really if you didn't have the phone why was I able to order it. Then she said we didn't expect to sell this many, so you expected to do bad.
He may have got the phone because he said he opened it previously to making the video. I asked about that and she some third party vendors may have got them already. I'm lost with how they go about selling these phones makes no sense.

not really...... the 6 is 159.26mm and the 6P is 159.30mm.... So 0.04mm isnt much
Yes but the 6P has a smaller screen and is still taller. I had the 6 it was a massive phone and i got rid of it pretty quick. Hoping the 6P has a better /more manageable feel. As of now i have the 5x and 6p ordered so ill wait to pass judgment.
In all the details I've seen when in hand it looks very manageable!

It's a press event that's how. They were invited to the recent event in India. I'm sure it just a box that they have pre set aside for the "Unboxing" videos. Press will of course get the phone earlier. Be patient man

You can go handle a iphone 6s plus or 6plus....the dimensions are nearly identical to the 6P:
Iphone 6S Plus (158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm ) vs Nexus 6P (159.3 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm).
Height: 6P is 1.1mm Taller
Width: 6P is 0.1mm narrower

24 hour opinion

I just received the matte gold nexus 6p and all I can say is wow!
Everything about this phone is premium and dam its pretty. Coming from someone who also owns a nexus 5x and a nexus 6 I can tell you that this appears to be the perfect device. After using the nexus 6 for a while, I loved it. I also felt the same about the 5x but there was something missing. I wanted the big screen back and all new hardware features from the new set of devices. (Plus the nexus 5x was laggy, and the nexus 6 was just slightly dated at this point).
So far I haven't been able to knock anything about this device. The only thing I guess I could say is that it's so thin and slick you always feel like you are going to drop it. This is the closest to iPhone quality standards that I've seen in a phone. Once you get it in your hands you will see it far exceeds anything currently out there running Android.
I'm not sure where all the hate has been coming from but this thing is a beautiful beast of a phone so far.
Congrats! Totally agree with you. I love my 6P. To be honest I think it is in its own league. Beautiful, sturdy and top notch quality.

The only thing that is keeping me away at this point is the camera on the 6p... or I should say camera software. I will miss the s-pen though... But other then that.. all the reviews I have read and watched seem damn good.
I had a nexus 6 before this 6p and I loved my nexus 6, the slightly narrower design is the main deal breaker for me it's only a few mm but I always found the original nexus 6 just to wide, this 6p is perfect, I also in work have a note edge, it's not a patch on this phone imo.

I was always a note person as long as I can remember but once you take a look at it the software isnt that great. Plus this is the best camera on a phone I've seen.
The notes camera is better for sure but the 6p's is no slouch.
It's funny how the brain works once you spend a lot of money on something. I owned the Note 5 for a good while and the 6P for a little over a month. I now own neither phone.
Now as an outside observer with no money attached to either device, I can with 100% confidence assure everyone that the Note 5 has a better camera than the 6P.
People who say otherwise are lying to themselves unfortunately. I hate to sound harsh but that's the truth of the matter.
With that being said, the 6P has a very good camera. It's just not up to Note 5 levels overall.

Other people brought up the camera, I wasn't replying specifically to you. Considering both of my 6P's bent, I wouldn't say the build quality is better. And software is a tough one. If you measure software by added features then the Note 5 kills the 6P. If you measure it by a stock experience then the 6P kills the Note.
Yes I had the s6 with all the features I mean gimmicks, but touchwiz is total crap. Yes the camera might be better on the note but it doesn't hold a candle to the N6 software wise and the development for nexus devices. Go get a point and shoot if you desperately need amazing photos.This is the best android phone on the market.

Yeah no offence to Samsung but touchwiz makes me want to rip my hair out. My mother has a s6 edge+ and I absolutely cannot stand the ui on it and neither can she. Very bloated and fairly hard to navigate, not to mention the lag. But IMHO it really depends what your looking for in a device whether you'll love the n6p over your current phone. Do you love nexus devices? Want latest android on a slick phone that will last? Treat your flagship very delicate because it is aluminum and electronics? Love customization or roms? The n6p is probably for you. Are you a professional photographer who uses their phone for that? Want a stylus? Don't baby your phone? Like stock "features" and "useful" apps? Probably not for you.

AS a network engineer I use smartphone for a variety of tools, my average SOT 6+. I get these phones thru work but I choose what they buy. From the S3, S4 to Note 3, Note 4 and Note 5. I always root. I was able to to have them swallow a Note 4 DE so I could have the unlocked bootloader on VZ network. During the new buying season they went with the Note 5 but I stayed with the Note 4, reason why, there will be no developer edition of it. So 6 days a go I got tired of Samsung lack of update on their phone especially the Note 4 so I decided to grab a 6P. This is not my phone Nexus phone, I had all them until the 6. Once the 6P came in I was already ready to flash what I wanted on it. I've went 6 days on the phone almost straight, lost sleep hours etc lol.
Can you say addicted to a phone? I couldn't believe I waited so long to get it. The Note 4 will be last Samsung phone, from now on I'll stay with nexus.

Nexus 6P to Nexus 6 - Am I Crazy?

I had the 6 and then jumped on 6P from day one. Took me couple months to sell my 6 and now regret that decision and looking to buy the white version on eBay.
There is something special about Nexus 6 that I can NOT get out of my system. I have never looked back after an upgrade. Nexus 6P is a great phone but I have no clue why I'm not feeling it. If it was not for the camera, I would have been back on 6 a long time ago.
Anyone out there left their 6P to go back to Nexus 6?

I still have both but gravitate more towards 6P because of fingerprint scanner, better camera and ever so slightly smaller footprint. But they are both my favorites.

Sold my Nexus6 after getting the 6P in November and have not looked back. Both are cool devices on XDA!

I had the 6 and then jumped on 6P from day one. Took me couple months to sell my 6 and now regret that decision and looking to buy the white version on eBay.
There is something special about Nexus 6 that I can NOT get out of my system. I have never looked back after an upgrade. Nexus 6P is a great phone but I have no clue why I'm not feeling it. If it was not for the camera, I would have been back on 6 a long time ago.

Thanks for the honesty. I figured something must be off lol
Can't go wrong with either.
Used it off and on for a year. If I didn't break it I probably would still be using one. Only wish google would have made some use of the extra screen size.

Yeah you are crazy. I will not miss the flip flopping, swiveling and spinning around of the N6 when using it on a table.

This. This is the only thing that I honestly 100% hated about my N6.

I had a 6 since they 1st came out and grabbed a 6p and while I loved my 6 I am much happier w/ my 6p. Never looked back. ? If we were all the same the world would be a boring place. Haha. Do what makes you happy.

Yes, yes you are.
I was just using these phones interchangeably for the past two days and
1) Nexus 6 plastic back just feels so bad in comparison to the 6P metal
2) The 6P screen is so much better than the Nexus 6, it's very noticeable when you look at them side by side

The problem with number 1 point is cases. 6P feels so delicate that a case is a MUST. one dropped and it will look ugly as hell if not totally broken. I never had a case on my Nexus 6.
Well I personally never use cases on any of my phones, I chose a color that I liked because I it want to see it. They worked hard on making it look good so I don't want to hide their hard work.
The Nexus 6 is a nice device but you have to consider that Android N will be the last official update for it. If you don´t care about it and will use a Custom ROM anyway, go for it.
I did not like the 6 very much. Too wide to hold for me, screen and camera were sub par. The 6p fixed all that for me.

All good points guys. Maybe cause Nexus 6 was my 1st ever Nexus. My 1st pure Android true love lol. I can't let go regardless of the fact that I'm typing this with my 6P.
I was not a big fan of the Nexus 6. Vibration sucked, phone felt too big (6P feels good in hand), and I just did not like the design at all. It is a whole different story with the 6P and it looks even sexier with a skin on. Best phone I've ever had.

I have and am keeping them both, i love the screen size on the 6...i think it should have been left at 6". Thats the only thing missing from the 6P...a bigger screen.

IPhone 8 unveiled, switching to it from note 8?

The presentation is really boring me. Was hoping apple would shake things up, who think they have? Tempted to return the note? I'm not at all. I await the mate 10, I think that might win the phone of 2017
Yes!

Definitive answer lol. Fair enough. What will they do in 2 years? They have to go straight to iPhone 11 lol. 9 will never be. Can't believe they pronounced it iPhone 10 lol
Mist definitely!! I mean, I just unboxed my Note 8 literally two hours ago, but i'm such a fanboy, that I just HAVE to have the newest, bestest things in life, even if my current device might be better than the newest bestest one that I'm jumping to. L.O.L.
No way in he*l. I'm never going back to the Apple eco system!
Try as I may, with each yearly unveiling of an Apple phone, I don't see anything that would yank me away from Android. Now I can't say the same for their accessories, because those always look cool and that wide size battery pad looks great, but the phones themselves, eh. Not enough to pull me away from Android. Especially if you compare any of those shown today with the Note8. The stylus on the Note8 is simply the best.
Taken with my note 8. This shouid answer your question I don't abandon I just add to the family lmao btw pictured g6 iPhone 7 plus s8 plus
I'm going to buy the iPhone x on day one, go straight home and put it on eBay for double the price
The cut out on the top of the X is very ugly
Wish note 8 could do 4k 60fps though....

Would be nice. Wish note had upgraded hardware, just would have differentiated it from 6 month old s8! Samsung was lazy this time. Saving money from note 7 problems?
Anyway the benchmark for iPhone x are crazy powerful, but pointless. Current android hardware is powerful enough for anything. Battery technology should be what they concentrate on from now on. And new innovations

Heck even Apple won't tell you battery size. Wtf?
iPhone 7 WOW'd me more than the X...easily the ugliest phone of the year lol. looks like a iPhone 3 with a ugly full screen. every other phone company who decide to go with edge to edge screens made a good looking phone. I would be embarrassed to walk around with that thing on my ear. plus the price tag???????damn
Just seems really silly to all of a sudden decide to switch. If someone was that much on the line about which phone, why even bother pre ordering/buying the Note 8. The iPhone still to this day can't do what I need, its why I buy android. I can appreciate it from a distance but until I can install apps from unknown sources it will always be a no go for me. Lets not forget the pen and everything that goes with that. I dont have to screw with itunes, I can manage my files like a COMPUTER. I need something versatile, not shiny and new. I probably wouldnt have gotten the Note 8 if I didnt get half off the price to own it.
Stupid top bezel, No USB C, Hit and miss Face ID with no other biometric option, crappier screen and more expensive. No thanks. If anyone wants it, they you might wanna shell out £1200 for the 256GB iPhone X as the [email protected] will eat your storage in seconds lmao.
Can't wait for my Note8
I heard that T-Mobile is doing a BOGO offer for the iPhone X, so that comes out to be $500 per phone, which isn't bad, providing one wants to get the X. Personally, I'll stay with my Note8. I really love that thing.
How would one go from the Note8 to that? That's like moving backwards.
