Is the OP2 worth getting?

i have a iphone. i switched to the dark side. but im not really happy the price i have to pay for outdated features. i was wondering if the oneplus 2 overheats over normal use and is it worth getting?

There is a thread like that in general section. Check it out.

- it tooks 4months for samsung to get MM to his flagship
- battery life is lame
- worst ram menagment phone ever ,, cant handle more than 3/4 tasks
- for my opinion selfie cam is so fake with that "beauty" filter
- reception in LTE / 4g was so bad (max 3h sot with mobile data)
- they didnt post kernel source so it lacks in developing
- BLOATWARE all around ... more than 300 apps+ services
- a lot useless stuff, flip to mute , proximity to ear call , IM NORMAL PERSON I CAN DO IT BY MYSLEF, im not handicapped
- 2560 x 1440 was so bad move for a 5.1 inch display . in 1080p more battery life , less pixel to show , more cpu power , more gpu power etc
thigs ive liked :
_ the build was so good
- it was amazing fast phone (even with touchwiz , imagine what can he do in cm13 , but they never gona have stable cm13)
- fast charging , 1h22min 100%

If you are coming from an iPhone every Android is worth buying. And OnePlus Two is very cool if you ask me..

If I'm not looking to tweak the phone, just want something to get away from iOS, is this still a solid choice? I see lots of issues, but it's hard to discern what is causing what.

No, my advance go with Nexus. I miss Nexus

OnePlus 2 is perfect from my point of you. But not the software. The hardware of the device is beast. Software by OnePlus is no match to if. If you want to buy OnePlus Two you should tweak to get most out the phone. So it's in your hands. Perfect hardware, OK stock software. Of course the Device heats up a bit. If tweaked its the best phone in its range. If you don't want to tweak, you can use stock but wait till marshmallow.

Oneplus 2 and nexus 6p are both good phones for their price range. If you have a bigger budget, i would get a 6p because its better in terms of software updates (they have marshmallow already). For me i haven't experienced many bugs with oneplus 2, others in the forum have had minor bugs. Battery life is not bad, i get around 6-7 hr screen on time with YouTube only with a bit of internet.

I really like the 6P and OP2, but both seem to have some issues. Some bigger than others. And I know no phone is perfect. I can spend up to what a 64gb 6P would cost me, but saving money is never a bad thing. My 6s Plus has no issues, but the OS is so stale and I'm going nuts without the simplest of customization.

does it still worth it?

With all those new phone's came out lately.
I'm confused, S7 looks like a beast, and he is far more beautiful than the 6P.
Although he is also much more expensive and not to mention the crappy touchwiz.
Same thing with Note 5.
The one that caught me is the HTC 10.
But also much more expensive.
Anoter area that I'm curious about is the brightness level, how's the 6P handle?
Thanks!

Really bad battery life? My G4 SOT is around 2-2.5h depends on usage (gaming or not)
But this isn't bothering me because i have another battery with me.
But this isn't the case with the 6P that's why it's important for me.
Ya i thought the brightness isn't special from all what i heard, but i guess it is better that the G4, right?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I don't use the g4 but from what I hear about it the camera is the one thing good in it.

If you're not concerned of losing the stock android interface and monthly updates, go for either of them. Just be careful, apparently the maximum brightness on the HTC is low too.
Nexus 6P is a good device but brightness is quite subpar* ; same goes with battery life, considering the beefy battery it has got!
* all stock
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'm not sure why anyone is complaining about battery life on this device, it performs really well for me. It mostly comes down to individual setup anyway, it's like installing a turbo on your car and then complaining that the car has terrible fuel efficiency.
As for whether it's still worth it, probably not. I certainly wouldn't be opting for Samsung though, and the HTC is nice but you'll be waiting several months for any updates. The next Nexus is only a few months away probably, I'd be waiting for that.

no, definitely go with the HTC 10. I got my 6p and damn the mic, speaks, and call quality is terrible !!!
stay away plus its way large

The only device i would give up pure android for is HTC. Sense is my second favorite if not par with stock android.
After been with HTC One M8 for a year and a half, than switching for LG G4.
I know how good HTC devices is, only problem is that here in ny country HTC ain't popular, most people's buy iPhone or Samsung and lately LG. Which cost me when i sold my M8, after bought it for 700$ and sold for only 250$ in new condition.
I guess the brightness on the Nexus 6P is higher than HTC 10 and my LG G4.

What i like about Samsung devices
(S7 edge and note 5)
Is the amazing display and brightness.
All other thing's including software is awful, at least for me.
S7 edge is a really beauty device, but way too expensive.
If I'll buy the HTC 10 i could live with the several month's update because it has sense which is the closets one to pure android. But also there, too expensive..
What do you mean by few month's away?
I guess also when it'll come out it'll be expensive, and till than my G4 will loss another 200$.
I'll wait for more answers, What bothering me mostly on the Nexus 6P is SD810, as G4 has SD808 which is not that different..

As far as skins go, Sense is ok. I'm I'll never use a Touchwiz device though, that's awful.
There are rumours that the new Nexus lineup will be released in American summer, but probably in October/November like usual.

You won't be waiting "several months" for any updates. The software on the 10 is similar to the A9 and is actually closer to stock than the A9 which got updates roughly 15 days after Nexus devices. Definitely not several months.

I am coming from the M9. The 6P blows it away in every category you mentioned. I can't even get cell reception in my basement on the M9 and the 6P has 2-3 bars. Since nobody really has the 10 other than reviewers you can't really definitely make that statement.
I will say I already miss Sense somewhat. I like having screenshot in the drop down quick settings. Where is the battery percentage? I have the system tuner version but it is useless once you get into the 50-60's percentage. Why no option to restart instead of just turning off? Gmail is terrible for exchange. I tried it again in hopes that the update this week would address some problems but it sucks. The camera app on the 10 will be much better than the 6P. HTC Mail is way better and I can't get hacked versions of HTC apps to work that is on XDA. HTC does some really good things to compliment Android without being overbearing like Touchwiz which keeps it running smooth years later, unlike Samsung. They are subtle but when you don't have them you start to notice.
That said, I was not about to pay $300 more for the 10. If it was the same price. I would have bought it. No phone is worth $1,000.

You are right, i won't buy a phone that cost more than 700$.
My HTC One M8 cost me 700$ and i enjoyed him the whole time i had him
(a year and a half).
When i moved to G4 i missed the sense as well.
But over time you get used to what ever phone you have, unless you have Samsung??
Also i wanted to ask you, as i still wait for more answers, don't wanna rely on one person.
What do you say about the brightness on the 6P? how's it's handle direct sun and outdoors visibility? And how's the camera?

Coming from the M9 it is way better. I guess it all depends on your frame of reference and if you had a S6 S7 Samsung screen before. I can also see what people talk about with this display vs a LCD one on HTC. The images just are more vivid and punchy. If you like the flat look you can change that on the 6P as well. I like the saturation though for a change. The 10's screen is better than the M8 and M9 but not as good as the 6P. At least not $300 better. That's for sure.

The display used in nexus 6p is made by Samsung... I don't think brightness should be an issue... Also you could use ultra brightness mode in elementalx kernel... Regarding camera it's good.... Haven't used g4 so can't exactly compare them... Pm me your email. I will send you photos captured by 6p..
Note: sd810 doesn't support 10bit hevc hardware decoding whereas s7 exynos supports it... So sd820 may support it too... Shouldn't bother you if you don't watch 10bit videos on phone.

Samsung = Knox.
If you want to tether on an UDP (Verizon) you must have root for WiFi tether.
So if I were to buy a phone today, unless I could unlock the bootloader, the device is not on my shopping list.
So for me on Verizon, Nexus or HTC. With HTC you can at least usually pay someone for S-Off.

I have an M9 from day one last year. Really liked it but got the 6P last November because of the improved camera. Also because the monthly updates it receives.

Really on the fence atm as well.. The 32gb is about $650 CAD and the 64gb is about $700 CAD on Newegg.. Ive been running through reviews and comparison videos all week and I am so close to purchasing it, but the price still kind of hurts. It has everything I need, but battery life seems to vary among everyone. The camera also seems to have some issues and lag time between users. The most recent update was suppose to fix it, but some users are still experiencing slow-downs. The phone is almost 7 months old, but since its by Google, updates will always be rolling out.
Love stock android as I had the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5, but moved away to the Asus Zenfone 2, which is already experiencing slow downs and my camera is all wonky. I would never purchase a phone over $600, but the Nexus 6P is looking amazing. Right now, I am just looking for a way to justify buying it

From 6P to the ONE PLUS 3

Honestly i had the 6p but returned it within the 14 days due to ppl reporting that their phones were warping/bending/twisting so i just ordered a one plus, who else is making the jump? others might do it because of the SD810 heating issues..
I do miss the speakers and the fact that now the 6p got Paranoid android, i lovee thier roms, but i heard they are supporting the one plus series as well...
Please id like to know whos jumping ship
Thanks in advance!!![emoji4] [emoji110]

Probably not. I've heard mixed reviews on OP over the years, plus I love my 6P. I've never had any issues with it

Just you so far, better wear your life jacket!

The op3 has PA.
I'm gonna stick with the 6p, I thought about switching but the 6p has a better camera, speakers and software support. 3gb ram is interesting but imo unnecessary.
I'm convinced the bending is a non-issue. But the build of the op3 does look very nice

Staying with 6p based on mixed reviews of one 3. Overall better phone and it's a Nexus so always up to date. Bend gate on 6p is over blown.

One good things they have a plenty of custom ROMs.
But I have seen the news about OPThree. It's spec. is looking okay.
(Now they use AMOLED screen, new camera etc.)

Just what in the world are you doing with your phone that you're exhausting all 3GB? I agree with others, you would have been more believable had you just said "Bigger is Better".

I'm waiting for someone to try to bend it to see what's up. I wish I had seen the Jerry rig video before I ordered my 6p, I didn't until it was on its way and of course my phone warped. I still have a opo I use pretty regularly and one plus has done nothing but impress me(I didn't get the screen issue). I just need to find someone willing to buy a warped 6p for the amount of money I have left on payments for it.

You might want to check out some reviews on the RAM management of the op3. Who cares about 6gb of RAM if the software isn't tuned for it and as a result not keeping the apps open in the background. Kind of pointless to have that much RAM. Maybe they will fix it with an update.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I just received my OP 3 today and it's unbelievable so far. If this thread is still around, I will update with more usage.

The OP3 finally seems a great phone for the price, I'm not replacing my N6P mainly because I've got no complaints with it, and because I like the Nexus software support (but also because I'm not changing phone every 6 months lol).
However, it will be interesting to hear about real life usability of the OP from an ex Nexus user!
Skickat från min Nexus 6P via Tapatalk

As much as i love oneplus as a company, nexus 6p is the best android phone i have ever used, sticking until the next nexus arrives.

I won't ever get a oneplus phone again! So I'm sticking with my 6p, I actually came from the oneplus x to the Nexus 6p and the op x was a nice feeling phone with a great display but the lack of LTE bands for the usa was a killer and it always was over heating and don't get me started on their software support! Piss poor software support, riddled with bugs and no hopes of bug fixes or even an update to Android 6.0 and it's sad that they can't get lollipop stable yet cm13 for the opx is more stable then the stock rom! So screw that I went to the Nexus 6p and loving it! Lte everywhere now, great battery! No heating issues, software is obviously up to date and working flawlessly!!
So if u want to switch just take into consideration that ur phone will be riddled with bugs with little to no hope for faster updates or bug fixes. (I think Samsung is faster to update then oneplus and that's saying something!) And they may not support all the LTE band's depending on ur region. At least this is the experience I've had with oneplus. Also there customer service is horrible and them as a company from what I've noticed doesn't focus on what they need to like having a stable solid rom before releasing another phone they can't keep updated with their near stock Android rom. If they could fix the software side they would be a great company and I would probably reconsider there phones but until them I'm happy with my Nexus 6p!

CONS OF OP3:
1. OP3 has Poor Battery life 4 hrs SOT compared to Nexus 6p 6-7 hrs SOT
2. Camera quality of OP3 not good compared to 6P.
3. Poor speaker sound quality And Mic Quality isn't that good
4. Latest Android version like MM just received for OP2 last month.. where 6P is ready for next official Android N. where some 6p users are running the N preview also
5. No Monthly Software Security Updates ..
6. Oneplus Service Centre takes almost month to repair their handsets. And even I don't have Oneplus Service Centre in my local. Better find One before buying products from OP
7. 6GB RAM used in OP3 doesn't perform well compared to 4GB RAM of Galaxy S7.. 6P comes with SAMSUNG RAM.
8. Stock OXYGEN OS is Buggy based on online reviews I've read. But my friend owns OP3 and he doesn't have any problems with oxygen os until now.
9. The display quality in terms of resolution does not provides a good user experience for VR which is a cons.
10. Its 2K16 and they still provide device with 1080P resolution.

Screen Flickering Problem and other Display Issues

I am about to buy a NEXUS 6P. I heard the display is made by samsung and indeed its a AMOLED display. I come from a S5 with very bad flickering problems especially in cold environment, now being hard even to turn on the screen.
So i just want to ask if any of you, have any flickering problems with NEXUS 6P, at low brigthness, max britghtness, when turning the display on etc?
Do any of you have these or other problems and issues with NEXUS 6P display like S5-S6-S7 ?

So i just want to ask if any of you, have any flickering problems with NEXUS 6P, at low brigthness, max britghtness, when turning the display on etc?
Do any of you have these or other problems and issues with NEXUS 6P display like S5-S6-S7 ?

Hi, I have had a nexus 6p for around half a year and i have experienced no problems at all and buying this phone was one of my best decisions ever as it is so powerful and great even against 2016 flagships and is one of the most if not the most active when it comes to awesome mods and hacks like Ross and charge speed improvement mods etc. I 100% recommend you get a nexus 6p as it is an amazing phone and considered the best to some people and is very affordable. I hope this helps your decision and if you have any questions let me know as I am very experienced with this device. Also Merry Christmas, boxing day and new year.?

No flickering issues with custom Roms... Had my Nexus 6p for a year.

Yeah, custom roms are so useful as they fix lots of the bugs that the main devs have not sorted.

On stock ROM I used to experience some kind of white flash if I turned the screen on "very fast" (don't know how to really describe this). But now on PN and everything seems pretty good so far.

If you are experience, hope you can help me with this, I want to buy either a 6P or a 6S( non-PLUS), and i want a device that holds on for at least 3 years, and have a good battery. So which one should i go with? I am an android fan but if the 6s has a better battery and can resists over more years i will switch to iOS? So which one is the way to go? (considering the news about fast degradation batterys on 6P)

Hi, I think the nexus 6p is very good for battery life and the battery life is more likely to last longer than the 6. Depending on what mods like roms and kernels you use you could actually get 6-8 hours screen on time. My battery health is at 100% and I use my device quite heavily. If battery life is important to you then rooting your device and modding it is important.

So if i want battery should i go with 6p or 6s? i saw both have random shutdowns even at 50%. Can you help me decide?

For battery it doesn't really matter. However if you decide to use a custom rom and kernel then the N nexus 6p then the battery is much better. I recommend getting the nexus 6p and I havent noticed any shutdown problems myself but have experienced bootlooped from ios updates in the past and plus jailbreak is nowhere near as good as root if you are into that. For power, customisability and battery go with the nexus 6p. Hope this helps

i too came from an S5 to a 6p, less than a month ago... with the same S5 intermittent green screen / black screen issues that you are having
my first non-galaxy phone, and i'm really impressed!
still getting used to the size, but it's so worth it!

Definitely nexus 6p. Whether this is true or not ios devices have been rumoured to be designed to deliberately detiriate over time so new ones are bought. Most android phones can manage something like 5 years before they get bad. Ios devices last a year if you are lucky at their full potential.
Android devices are undoubtedly built more powerful and better at staying good over years. Hopefully this helps, if you have any questions even about roms and rooting or anything please let me know.

This is the thing, i had 3 android devices and neither one has resisted more than 1,5years, and i have taken good care of them. I only have an iOS device an iPad which has nearly 4 years and still going smooth.
I just looked at Apple support that support his devices for more than 4 years. Still you recommand me to go for a Nexus 6p despite all these things i told you?

Yes I do still recommend it. Either you were unlucky or the phones were just not that great in that category. The nexus 6p was made by Huawei and Google so you can tell that it will be a good phone. Trust me when I say this. You will not regret choosing the nexus 6p and I promise you if you are careful with it it will last years. Hopefully this helps. Custom roms can help extend your phones life.

So then i should pass the iphone, it only remains me to choose between S7 and 6P. I had big problems with the flickering on S5 and i heard the problems persists for S6 and S7 too. Any advice on this?

I have heard these problems too and I recommend the nexus for many reasons such as better speakers, home button fingerprint scanner, camera and much more.

In the end it depends what you want from your phone but I would highly highly recommended the nexus 6p over ios and S7. Hope this helps ?

What's Next After The 6P?

So to those of you who are still using this phone, what's your next jump? S8 S8+... Pixel 2, other?
I've really enjoyed this phone, but it's time to start thinking about the next upgrade. Oddly, I didn't actually unlock & root this phone. I think this is the first time I haven't done that with a phone. So that's not huge to me.
I personally think the Pixel 2 may be the next jump as I do enjoy the non bloatedness of these phones. I hope though that Google (as much as they charge) competes really well. With the S8 & iPhone 8 coming they have to.
Have any of you thought about your next phone from this one? Are you sticking with this one as long as you can & feel you'll be able to get a replacement that compares? I know for me, the whole buying this from Google & the price was a big factor. Unfortunately the price thin isn't going to happen again. The $475 I paid for this I fear is long gone unless I venture outside of the norm. OnePlus, LeeEco, Huawei, etc. Having Verizon though pretty much limits any of those options however.

it's too early to talking about next phone but between phone in store right now I interested to "moto z force", sadly just exclusive to the US market via Verizon and I'm not living in US! ?

Still very happy with the 6P. I'll probably keep using it as my main phone at least until the end of the year. Will mostly consider OnePlus and Pixel 2 when I'm ready to replace the 6P.

I think more and more the top of the line phones are just not necessary anymore. Once my 6p dies (which may be a while as I got a brand new replacement from them for the bootloop issue) I'll consider the Pixel 2 (or 3), but most likely I'll lean towards oneplus, or ZTE, or Honor, all of which have had great phones this year, for much less than the pixel.

Any phone that gives me a SD and fast updates.
It's time for Google to stop the no SD card crap.

I don't know if that's going to happen with the no SD thing. This is where I could see getting the S8 vs the Pixel 2 just to lower the price. 32GB phone then buy the card. Hell with all of the goodies Best Buy throws in I'd almost bet on some sort of freebie or two. Whether a wireless charger, SD card or VR headset. I can see something.
I bet the oneplus 4 or 5 or whatever they call it will be pretty good. I just wish more phones could be taken to Verizon. Leaves me with only a few options.

I'm holding out for the Pixel 2 myself, I have Project Fi so its practically the only choice I have for upgrading. I just hope it has some premium features like legit water resistance and a better looking design. I also hope they have enough in stock that I can order one because doubt my Nexus 6P will last that long around then.

Nothing thus far. The 6P already does everything I need to in addition to the large 3450 mAh battery, great screen, and awesome speakers.
Don't think shelling out a few hundred dollars is worth it for under the hood specs that I would barely notice like opening an app milliseconds faster. It's not like my 6P is unable to do what the newer gen phones can do.

That "large" battery is one of the worst in recent smartphone history.
I'll be jumping ship to the s8+ and maybe come back to Google when they don't try and sell a budget phone for a stupid price like with the Pixel.
The only thing I'll miss from the 6p is the speakers.

The 6P battery has been excellent to me, I can't speak for anyone else. It compares to my Droid Turbo that had a 3900 mAh battery. It could be "worse in history" to you, but it has been nothing short of stellar to me. It has absolutely exceeded my expectations given that I've read mixed reviews regarding the SD810.

I have an iPhone 7 plus as well as my nexus 6p, and it is actually ridiculous how much longer the 7 plus lasts. I feel like I can drain my 6p just by looking at it. The real problem with android is idle drain, it is freaking ridiculous.

I'm not the only one suffering garbage battery life and shut downs while out of warranty. I used to get amazing battery life too but not anymore.

That's a shame. Products aren't always perfect for everyone. There's always those with bad experiences such as with cars, electronics, etc. I'm talking based on MY experience, not from what I've read, heard, seen, etc. I KNOW based on my experience that I can rely on my phone being at 50% by bed-time, so there's no reason for me to complain about that.
Maybe your next phone will fare better for you.

Next on my buy list to replace the Nexus 6P will be the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, which should come out in the late fall of this year.

Galaxy 8+ will be my next badboy! But will keep my cool Nexus6p...

That's funny you say budget phone. Google stated in their mention of the next Pixel that everything is premium & there will be no budget one. I guess to them the current phone is premium.

Ever since I took the nougat update my battery life has sucked. I love the phone, but had to go back to the 7 edge. I'd love to give the Apple 7+ a try. Haven't been on an Apple device in years. The Samsung 8 plus it's very tempting.

Sounds like you're platform agnostic like me Best way to be. Too much good tech out there to get caught in fanboyism

We've thought about waiting for the iPhone 8. The wife & I have yet to own an iPhone. Her only thought was she already has so many Android apps. I'm kind of the same where I don't want to dump a bunch of $ on a new platform. Get the S8 or Pixel 2 & I've already got the apps I use & have paid for.

Ya, I try to keep an open mind. I wish my pocket book could handle it though lol. Honestly I loved my LG g4, just hated the battery life. I'm kind of finding the 5.5" screen size around my liking. The only thing I hate about the s7 edge is how curved the sides are. It sounds like the s8's will have less of a curved screen. The pixel XL always send to be out of stock in the 128gb version.
