Google Nexus 6P review: Serious contender for mobile photography

Just when I decide on the iPhone these assholes possibly get it right.

If you are on Tmobile and want VoLTE, look elsewhere (no band 12). Damn Google I was THIS close to that preorder.

It is capable, just not enabled as of yet according to multiple TMo replies on Twitter.

The only model i'd want costs $649....the whole plus for me with Nexus phones was them being cheaper without the need for a subsidy but fuck that...$700 bucks cash.....nah homie.

To be fair, the 6s/6s Plus haven't been rated yet... but it is ahead of the 6/6 Plus which have great cameras already. Nice jump forward for Nexus phones in particular and Android phones in general this year. By all accounts Samsung, LG and even Motorola have put out solid-excellent cameras this year.

Good looks. so basically you can claim a new phone every year for the 2 years and only spend $240 and since their selling direct we won't be gauaged by the carriers.

i'm gonna get over this expandable memory thing. i've been good with 20-25 gigs on my M7 for 2 years now just gonna come out my pocket for the 128 gig.

htc's gonna take another hit if those speakers are as good as boomsound. we already know the camera is

i pay 5 buvks a month through verizon for this and get next day delivery with no deductible...

Google and T-Mo said they're working to enable it. Sounds like they have to go through a certification process that's a bit more stringent for devices not sold directly thru T-Mobile

Phones aren't shipping for a few weeks anyway so hopefully it'll be added by then

Yep... just like Nexus 6, it was added after launch. Both phones support band 12.

 

[a1rimrocka]

so far, good results on the 6P camera

Agreed, I still might cop tho only because my nexus 5 has a crack in it.

I had already researched and made up my mind to go with the new Motorola X style/pure joint. Now I have to re-evaluate

This has been a great year for Android phones in terms of selection


Rumors say Samsung is coming with the S7 in Q1 to get out of their current release cycle that's so close to Apples. If any company could pump out a new phone that fast, it would be Samsung

Yep me too, but I'm copping the 6p 64gb joint.

Good to know the differences:

The Nexus 5X Lacks Electronic Image Stabilization, 240fps Slow-Motion Video, And SmartBurst Because The Snapdragon 808 Isn't Fast Enough

How that Moto working for you?

Couldn't be happier. Everything is working as I expected. Screen is big and bright. The speakers can get loud as ever. The Moto X actions and ambient screen are a nice additions on top of Android. Moto is one of the few OEMs to add something meaningful and useful to differentiate their Android devices, but keep the phone 99.99999% (you get what I'm saying) vanilla Android. The Moto also has an SD card slot and a big ass battery w turbo charging (over 12 hours of use without even thinking about charging). As far as complaints go, I wish it had wireless charging and a finger print reader. Some complain about the camera and the screen not being as great as other phones, but they serve the purpose I use them for, so I'm completely fine with them.

I normally get the nexus phones, but after hearing such great reviews of the Moto X and learning of the price for 64GB, I gave it a try. I'm very happy with my decision. As long as Moto continues to make similar phones to the Moto X in the future, I'll have options.

Good question.. they didn't say anything about deductibles on stage. Will update this post when I find something
