Would it be possible to control the laser autofocus, considering it uses IR to do so, and instead of measuring distance, send IR commands to mimic an IR blaster?
That would be some James Bond type ish
Yeah i'm not really familiar with the android camera2 api, but if you could control the laserfocus ir diode, assuming it has the same functionality as that of the ir blaster counterpart, I'd assume it'd be possible.
Oh, crap I didn't even think to see if this had an IR blaster. I use it all the time, why the heck would they leave it out?Argh, this might be a deal breaker. I just assumed that like pretty much every phone has one now.

I know right? That's exactly what I thought after preordering one and realizing it didn't have it! If it's not possible on the nexus 6p, maybe something like this will serve as a viable alternative:
Won't let me post a link but, it's "anymote.io"

I'm sure that would work just fine, but I would have to have to sink 100 dollars into that device to add a feature that pretty much every flagship has.

Yeah it sucks, but it's an alternative. I'd be willing to try and make an app if someone would confirm whether or not the api can access the IR LED and control it so I don't have to search for it.

I don't think there's an api. There isn't any documentation or any mention of being able to control laser autofocus. Oh well, guess we'll just have to use an actual remote.

Between no IR blaster, no OIS, and fear of AMOLED burn in (I've never owned nor wanted an AMOLED screen) I'm seriously re-considering my purchase. Their are compelling devices on the Horizon with the features I am looking for, but I've always loved the Nexus line. What to do...

Yeah, I'm still using the LG G3, its rooted with unlocked bootloader and it does everything I want it to. I don't flash ROM's like I used to, so maybe I jumped the gun a bit too fast on the 6P. I'll have to consider it over the weekend. Hell the 64GB version came to 600 bucks, it's not like a true flagship device is that much more money.

I'm leaning that way too unfortunately. I would have preferred the 5X but the specs are really underwhelming. Oh well, plenty of new phones coming in the next 6 months.

Actually just cancelled. I'll wait for the 820 devices. All I care about is root for adblock, I couldn't care less about spending 20 hours a week flashing ROM's anymore. Been doing that for like 7 years now and Android is good enough now that the added features in ROM's are barely an upgrade to anything. I'll wait and see what the reviews are here and online once they start shipping and re-evaluate, I guess.

No phones really offer an IR blaster with the exception of the S6 and some LG ones. Its not s big deal in my opinion because I haven't had a phone with one since my G3. I've almost exclusively owned AMOLED phones and I've get to experience any burn in at all. The Nexus doesn't have OIS but it does have EIS just like other phones without OIS. What devices would you call 'compelling' that are coming out soon?

I had GS4 with Irb. Worked ok for some things but I have TV, two Tivos, AV receiver, Blu-ray player and a Roku in my rack. Couldn't find an app that could handle them all. So went with a Harmony remote. It's a stretch even for that. So I would rather have the rooting /romming capabilities of the Nexus than the IR.
Always Searching for the Best
As for promising new releases, Lg V10 looks like it has everything (except ff speakers). Ir blaster, fingerprint scanner, multiple hq cameras, unbelievable durability, larger, better quality screen than G4. They moved the speaker to the side, which is the second best location.
Google should have 2 versions of each Nexus release- A bare bones value model and a spec'd out version with all flagship features at a premium price. Seems like they are forcing you to sacrifice size for specs, that is to say that the smaller devices are carrying subdued chipsets and display res at reduced prices. Nexus and Nexus Prime is what I would like to see. Instead of just 2 different models, 2 levels of finish as well. Probably won't be getting either of them even though I've been looking forward to this release for months.
And to whoever said that not many phones have IR blasters, you're right if you don't think Samsung, HTC and LG(Sony, Oppo) are important Android producers. All true (non-compromising) flagships have them. S6, Note5, M9, G4. The only reason Motorola doesn't have them is because they are really a value conscious supplier. Who is left really?

As posted, all flagship phones have IR blasters. LG, HTC, Samsung. They account for the vast majority of handsets sold I'd imagine. I'm not worried about burn in, I've just never had an AMOLED phone, my preference has always been cooler screens, not ones that artificially "pop" colors. LGV10, Sony Z5P, and the Snapdragon 820 will be in over 30 phones beginning in January. 4-6 months is soon in my world, but I don't eat at McDonalds, whine about having to wait 3-5 weeks for shipping and obsess about things like phones. I enjoy them, they compliment my life, they don't define it. I don't judge anyone for liking what they do and don't feel like I nor anyone needs to defend their purchase.

I had a similar issue and I stopped wanting an IR blaster because its more of a novelty for me. Ever since I sold my last G3 I haven't looked back.

Some of those OEMs stopped including hem in their own flagships. Samsung didn't put it in their Note 5 or S6E+ if I recall correctly and HTC isnt a major OEM anymore with their lackluster sales as of lately. I enjoy devices that can be updated when there are issues and that have good developer support. I've owned Samsung, LG, Motorola, ASUS and Nexus phones and while each is great in their own respect I tend to enjoy the Nexus line more. I agree with you regarding how a phone should compliment what you do, and if I came off the wrong way than that was not my intention. I jsut don't see why people get so upset because a single feature is missing on an otherwise 'perfect' phone. I haven't seen a Nexus with a IR blaster so I didn't expect it to have one. When I hear soon I assume that means this year but January could be considered within that depending on your perspective. I might buy a backup phone with the SD820 but I'll have to wait and see if there's a clean device to run it because I'm not a big fan of skinned UIs.

So just like most you guys, I pre-ordered the Nexus 6p and awaiting shipment. Thankfully, a lot of reviews have been pouring in over the past week that gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect. To me, the biggest thing that makes me want to re-think this phone is the sheer fact of how TALL the phone is. I know it's a phablet, and I am currently on the OPO and I have fairly large hands ( I am 6ft tall) and I feel the height of the OPO is probably the max to go before it starts becoming uncomfortable. With the Nexus 6p being a good 1/4" Taller than the OPO, I don't know.. it just seems like it'll be a pain to use the phone with one hand. Plus Pure android does not have any software baked into it to make the interface easy for one handed use.
The other thing that I hear most reviewers say is that they are not happy with the brightness nits in direct sunlight (android authority said it was like 400 nits or something which is pretty low).
So what are your concerns after watching the reviews so far? Anyone getting cold feet? Anyone thinking some other phone (like the Xperia Z5) would be a better option?
I think the reviews have made me more excited to get this phone. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 2013, so it'll be a big size increase. Reviewers are talking highly of the phone with their only negatives really being biases or personal preferences. The aluminum body, how fast and smooth it runs marshmallow , stereo front facing speakers, native fingerprint sensor, ambient display, doze, and all of the features android hub processor brings, large battery, fast charging, amoled display (reviewers seem to agree that it looks great with good colors, but isn't as bright as other amoleds, which can probably be tweaked with software), project fi support, and a low price tag of $499 for a phone that's being compared with all of the best phones available right now like the iPhone 6S Plus, Note 5, OnePlus Two greatly reinforces why I'm buying this phone.
For me this is hands-down the right upgrade for me. I won't support Apple and I won't support Samsung. The closed-source nature of those companies is something I cannot support. I don't much care for their products either.. but that's another topic.
I'm just a tad bit worried about the size, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. My phones have practically doubled in size every year since I had my first cellphone. Besides that, my only other real concern is if there are any repercussions for unlocking/rooting such as apps not working or warranty being voided.
How could you change your mind after the reviews? It's not like the OnePlus Two where there were obvious glaring issues. The only thing I see are mixed reviews on the battery and that all depends on how you use the device which none of the reviews have really gone in depth about. I am waiting for the GSMArena review, they have a standardized tests for all of the important stuff.

If anything, the reviews are just reinforcing why I pre-ordered this phone as soon as possible. I think they have been very positive overall.
BTW, have you held an IPhone 6S Plus before? It is essentially identical in size to the 6P. This is how I made up my mind on whether I could really use a phone this big or not. I'm coming from a N4 so you could imagine I was a bit worried.

And if it is too big, u can sell it (probably for a premium) online and buy a nexus 5x. It's a great thing!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
They have only made me want it more. I usually have my ambient light sensor set at like 20 to 30 percent and never had an issue. So luckily for me that won't matter... Size is a concern just like the nexus 6 was, but this looks to be much easier to hold. G4 was a big change from my nexus 5, but I adapted quickly. And this should have the similar feel in size changes since the width isn't as big as the nexus 6
Nope
Definitely had me rethinking, about how I am going to purchase it
No.

The reviews only help solidify my choice of ordering the first day they went on preorder.
Hell to the no... Not worried at all about the size, I'm using the Nexus 6 so... Lol

The reviews thus far have just reaffirmed my decision to purchase this phone. It really does seem like the perfect Android device so far. Even though there is no such thing as a perfect phone, for me, this seems like the device I have waited so long for!
The only thing I regret is no ir blaster and no wireless charging. I like my note 4's stylus, but I can probably live without that.
My only ragrat is that frost looks better every time I see it, and graphite looks worse

As my phone's got bigger with each upgrade... I can assure you height won't matter. Width is key and is 1mm wider than the lg 4 I think. But each has their own preference for
Size so it's personal. Don't judge upon receipt... Give it a few days. You'll adjust quite quickly

I'm thinking I will be fine with my nexus 6 now. Apart from the finger print reader and camera there isn't much the 6P can do that the 6 cant.
The battery savings come from marshmallow and I have that already on the 6 so I'm losing the urge to upgrade. If I was coming from any other phone though I would be upgrading asap!

I'd say time to into into the future, but the future has been here for a while now.
Hello fellow smartphone users,
Just something that annoys me, feel like talking about it.
My contract with my mobile provider is over and I can now choose a new contract with a phone
I own a LG G3 since may 2014. I swapped my G2 for the G3 just because of the external SD. Other changes were minimal, but the SD was a must for me.
Now normally you would be happy when your contract is over and you get to choose a new phone, but honestly I'm disappointed. The G3 is a great phone, works very well and has all things one can expect in a todays flagship phones.
Smartphone innovation has stopped. What do the new "flagships" even have to offer that would improve smartphone use? It feels like they desperatly try to make up new things like ow lets add another GB of RAM. Make the phone bigger so there's more room for that extra GB, make it look a little different and sell it as the next big thing.
Right now I feel like waiting till they release new phones like idk the S7 or G5, but honestly there's absolutely no need for a newer phone.
What do you guys think?
Im gonna switch back to iphone ..durability is outstanding and way better than my g3 ..also I have to order a new camera lens due to scratching screen 10$ not a big deal but hey ...also this lag get me to a point of no return ..

I think that's a really interesting point. Just got my HTC One M7 back to work to fiddle around with it a little bit and it performs sooo well even compared to my G3 (that's running AOSP). There is a Full HD screen and an all metal body - pretty much standard by now for many OEMs. 2013 was in general a major step forward in the smartphone territory, the last 2 waves of flagship were not even close to being so game-changing.

exactly. It's like they're out of innovation. It seems main points of smartphone innovation used to be better screens, faster processor for a smoother and faster user experience and thinner body. But it seems those points are perfected in some way. Higher resolution screens wouldn't do any good. The used software is fast enough and gets all the processing power it needs. Overall graphics are awesome. GPU power can always be improved ofcourse but c'mon who even wants to play call of duty or fallout 4 on a smartphone. And phones are thin enough. Only innovation on battery power would make a significant difference, but that requires entire new technology which isn't developed yet.
At this point smartphones are handheld computers as well as telecommunications devices. What is new in computers from year to year? Hardware. So what do you get with a new laptop this year vs one from last year? faster processors, more memory, SSDs are so 2 years ago, touchscreens more so, Phones, like computers, for the most part 2 year old computers are still working fine so sure, you can get along just fine with a 1 or 2 year old phone. Hardware is in control of the manufacturer, software provided by Google...so new phones from year to year will have better cameras, more RAM, more storage, faster processors, and with new developments in display technology, will be more durable (providing some manufacturers finally drop the idea of glass encased cases..SMH).
Well its kinda off topic but the new Windows mobile with its continuüm is a innovation ithink and a Iris scanner.
But for Android not so much ithink?
well, from my point of view the things i say:
If you are a geek, if you like to be "on top of tecnology" is obvious you want the newer phones, the most talked in the moment but you have a price for that and if you dont care about so go ahead!
If you are satisfied with your device and dont care about evolution, newer things and think "well, is all the same but only with 2 or 3 things different" then i say: stick with your actual phone!
- All depends of your need's or your brain! For me i dont care about better or worst, i have a G3, i love the device and i will keep it as long as i can, and now i will buy a G Flex2 just because the curvature and for SD810 (i know is a problematic processor but i dont care, i want to try it!) and for the experience to have a curved screen! For me LG are my thing, i cant move to other brand, and if you see my history with phones you know i am a LG and Sony user. I dont go for Sony anymore because they dont do it so well as LG does.
I love LG phones because i get in love with back keys, i cant live without them now, and get back to a phone without them is like to go to stone age!
I like the UI of LG, i cant live without IR Blaster now, is so usefull and because my job is eletronics, i work a lot with TV's, STB's and other things and have a IR Blaster to keep me away for the Remotes and have a phone to do that things is a must for me!
It's my opinion, and i will go for G Flex2 because theyr ridiculous price right now (i can order it for 260€ ~280$) and for the hardware they offer worth a lot the price!
I dont go for apple products because i think they dont worth the price they want for theyr products, i think is a steal to consumers because every year they launch a different one with 1 or 2 things different but the apple users brain says "i have to get the last because i am on top of the tecnologic world" - shut up guy's iphone's is only for status, i cant see other thing from people who buy that thing!
If anyone give me one iphone i sell it as fast i could and for the price i get for it i will buy 2 LG phones, and with better specs...and for sure i will keep the change!

Well, I am a tech guy, and I have always wanted the best. Not just with technology, but also with musical instruments(i'm a musician). I need to have the best guitar, I need to have the best amplifier, I need to have the best pc, graphics card, and ofcourse phone. I have always had the latest flagships since smartphones became a thing. But now it doesn't feel like that. I would need to spend some extra money on my new contract and pay about €200 intitial costs, but for the first time it feels like it's not worth it, but the "need for the best" is still there, believe me

yeah i'm not talking about apple. Apple is out of the question. Extremely overpriced, retarded company charging 100 extra for extra storage, purposely excluding a 32gb version. Breaks to easy and is build to last 2 years. There are always battery problems, which can not be removed ofcourse because, you know, **** you, you don't get a removable battery or SD slot, or the possability to replace parts. Need a new screen?, better buy a whole new phone. My parents actually got the advice to buy a new ipad when their new one didn't start anymore. When I got it in my hands, I pushed some buttons and it seemed it was only in recovery mode.
nonono apple is not even an option, don't even get me started on their purposely locked software with retarded compatability for pretty much anything

When I got it in my hands, I pushed some buttons and it seemed it was only in recovery mode.
nonono apple is not even an option, don't even get me started on their purposely locked software with retarded compatability for pretty much anything

ok, now i get cleared about what you want! well...all depends of the offer your network offers, if you want a update better wait 1 or 2 months because V10 is out there and some networks will have it, or wait more and get the G5 wich i can tell is the bomb for the new year, i belive SD820 be inside it!
honestly i think smart phones have hit that 'ceiling' in evolution, same way dumb phones have hit the ceiling right before the iphones changed up everything (didnt really change but more like pivot in a different direction with more overhead evolution).
Manufacturers can stick in better spec processors, ram, storage etc.. but as long as people feel they have everything that they need currently, then we're stuck in a loop until convinces us otherwise.

seriously dude? i owned iphone, not the latest one like iphone 6, 6+ and 6Sh*t + Rose Gold..
it's just Black Coloured iPhone5S and i use it for my second number..
here's my own review in term of PERFORMANCE and DURABILITY
yes, iphone is a real lag-free devices, the software is real outstanding !
it's worth to pay for that ( iOS ) but unfornately the iphones not even great in term of durability
my iphone crack it screen twice in my pockets! LOL.. maybe my jeans is too tight i guess..
so i replaced it twice and already waste around $200 for that S*tty Screen.
and in terms of BATTERY LIFE and CAMERA
my iPhone is worser than my G3 ( avg 14 hours ) or my Xperia ZL ( avg 8 hours ) or maybe Lenovo A889 ( avg Almost a day )!
Please take note that i'm not a heavy user, enough for socialing and clash of clans only.
for camera, both doing great job ( flawless result ) but extra score for G3 with additional support for 4K video, OIS and RAW with XCam.
Don't Forget! G3 also have front facing flash too.. so i wouldn't need the iPhone 6Sh*t for an upgrade..
As conclusion, iphone easy to use in one hand while android is real fun to use.. NO JOKE!
but it's customizable.. even jailbroken iphone can't be customized too much.. still boring
what i can say, it's your choice.. and this is my opinion.. bear in mind that nothing is perfect
everything made has it's own pro's and cons depend on what purpose do you use it for..
Final word from me, i'm still use both of it... im satisfied with both G3 and iPhone 5S
I definitely agree with you on the fact that these recent phones have just been disappointing. I was itching to buy the 6p when I heard about it, but then when I realized they removed external battery and SD card that was my deal breaker. It's really sad that our contracts can expire and we can still prefer our current phones, but I have hope that we'll see some amazing stuff in the next few years. I'm currently in love with my g3, and the only thing that'll take it away from me is an equal device with a fingerprint scanner.
However, right now seems to be the year of software. We're getting an amazing update compared to our lollipop experiences, and google is really refining itself.
OP welcome to the world of corporate marketing.
Coming from the last 4 generations of nexus phones, the G3 was my first non nexus in a while. I kept it for 11 months, but i could never get used to the lag and choppy animations, it just hurt my eyes. I liked the camera though. Recently i sold it and switched back to my nexus 5, and i cannot describe enough how silky smooth it is on Marshmallow, every transition animation, every action, it's just a pleasure to use, despite being a 2 year old phone.
For me, the only candidate for a possible upgrade would be the nexus 6P, but i might as well just skip this generation and wait for a 2016 stock android flagship.
I'm not returning to laggy phones anymore.

I experienced lag aswell when the 5.0 update was released. After the first update this problem was solved for me. Also some advice or just a little trick idk, I also turn off some animations or speed them up in the developer mode menu in order to make things a bit quicker and possibly less laggy. When this is done the phones feels faster.
Right now I'm waiting for the 2016 releases aswell. We'll see what LG or maybe samsung has to offer coming year.

Is there any confirmed news about V20??
I can't believe there's no discussion on this! I'm psyched!
praying they keep the removable battery... Make it bigger and go with dual real cameras of the g5!
Let's make a dream phone... I'll take some front facing speakers too!
http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_v20-8238.php
OK this just popped up. I'm pretty much doing a Google search every 10 minutes. (bored at work)
Can this be true?
5.7 " screen
4000 mah battery
20 MP rear camera
Second screen
4 gb ram with 33/64 gb version
6 gb ram option with 128gb version
*drooling*
*edit* I guess it's just a rumor. Bah
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
My troughs about this news:
- Hope LG dont screw everything like in V10, hope for better battery, better dual front camera (without that beauty mode, because they screw it with that), hope for a better speaker or at least stereo front facing speakers.
Power isnt problem, make it with SD821/823 and put 6GB DDR4 RAM and 64 internal with microSD support and dont do too much variants with diferent sizes, make one worldwide version with same specs and we be happy!
5.7 inch is enough but why not remove the second screen (i know is a V10 exclusive feature and V20 will be nothing witout this but...) and make screen 6"?
All other features like IR Baster, Audio DAC, 2k display, aluminium rails on side, volume and fingerprint/power buttons on the back (like i love it). - Maybe a kevlar back cover and not plastic will be the next thing!
otherwise if the V20 will be worse than V10 i preciate anyway because i buy my V10 a month ago and i dont want to trade my phone so quick, hope they last for years with me...if V20 will be a beast and have a good looking then i will trade my V10 soon!
My wish list
- 821/823 processor
- unlocked bootloader
-a tad nicer screen
- remove the lower black bar at the bottom of the screen with the logo to make the body smaller
- remove the aluminum bars to make it thinner
- slim the bezels
- larger battery 4000mah
-improve the speaker (or add dual like the nexus 6P)
-id rather a 6" screen, same footprint w/out the second screen- useless gimmick imo
- better dac, always on..something akin to the vivo that has dual ess dacs
- improve the buetooth (hopefully aptx hd) and keep the ir blaster but improve the usage width ( i still prefer the blaster on my old note 4).
If they can keep it under 799, that would be awesome too.
Not sure what to so with my v10, once the v20 is out, tmobile only offered me $110 on trade in value, that is some serious depreciation.
Anyone think this new fingerprint on screen is related to V20 ?

finally some news about V20:
http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1215141
http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-v20-renders-features-708851/
Here it is on Android authority
Why does it look so G5ish?
That back is definitely not "rugged" looking.
Volume on the side. I just got used to it on the back.
Modules? At least that means still keeping a removable battery...
I like the idea of the dual back cameras. That was one of my wishes.
I don't think it's as nice looking the V10 but that could be because the leaked renders are white and I just don't like the way white phones look.
I don't see any signs of a new on screen fingerprint reader (same back button) and definitely no sign of a stylus. (I knew it was just a dream)
At least I finally have a new leak to look at!
I'll close with this.... If they ever came up with some sort of keyboard attachment for use with that modular setup... Well... I'd just die. Seriously, I'd fly to Korea to buy the thing.

yes, right...LG is the only who gives you full specs with this kind of extras, i love the IR Blaster since my first LG Android phone back in 2013. Since then i cant live without IR Blaster and since then i only buy LG's phones.
Thats why i love LG, others like sammy are skiping IR Blaster (and then i laugh a lot) because they rise the prices day after day and give you less and less extras. While LG even in some "low end" phones keep putting the IR Blaster...is amazing!
my fist LG with IR Baster was G2 Mini, then G3, then G Flex2 and now V10...hope someday they improve the Quickremote app to control more stuff, or radiofrequency stuff it will be amazing.
But i know thats not gonna happen, they forget the app since G3 and now is all of the same, no new compatible TV's or Cable Boxe's codes. Let's hope they realize who important is IR Blaster for people who buy LG because of that.

smartphones like Samsungs are currently becoming more and more like Iphones lol. Giving less features at a higher price. I mean, i really love the IR Blast, ( it has become a need for me now,. and i bet some people do love to do pranks with it lol which is fine), also the removable battery. I have to say, the best smartphone Samsung has come up with is the Galaxy s5! i still own it and i do love it, it has everything i need plus some extras in case i my curiosity awakes. But since the s6 and up..... all i see is samsung removing great features, and applying an useless glass design that.... If they havent notice, one can actually use the fingerprint of the owner without being the owner because that glass design retains all fingerprints and so,,,, just use a piece of tape and some dust and buala..... instant fingerprint for robbers. Now.. The LG V20, im not so sure it will look like the render images that has been poping all over the internet now. what tells me that the one who built that "preview model" isnt just someone who loved the g5 design and so it just designed a phone based on what he/she would love to have? i mean, for someone with basic training in softwares such as CAD3d and or blender, that should be an easy cake to bake. so, chances are it is a fake design. I kind of doubt that LG will use the same approach of the prime coating covering the thick metal layer below, they know that is one of the main reason the phone had such a low rating from population all over the world. But if they use that approach again... LG must be stupid lol! Nevertheless, I do expect for the phone to have IR blast, sd card slot, 4/6 GB ram,, SD 820 or better. The new fingerprint that has been rumored so much, maybe waterproof (A BIG MAYBE LOL), and if they are going to use the same approach for modularity, they should integrate a second battery inside the phone so that when you remove the module part, it doesnt turn off for at least 5 minutes, otherwise, that modularity feature seems kind of time consuming. Now, i know some of this things wont be made, but well, Dreaming is good. Oh yeeeeeah and i forgot, FOR GOD SAKE, I HOPE THE BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED AT LEAST FOR TMOBILE OR EUROPEAN Models! lol, it took a while for the g5 to be cracked by the devs and it would be such a pain that it were to happen the same with the v20

A few articles have been written about the rumored new Nexus phone. If this is how it looks, it looks horrible. The front facing speakers appears to be gone and it looks very iPhone-esq.......similar to HTC's A10.
If it is accurate, it looks pretty bad compared to Motorola's 6.

It's all still leaks and rumors at this point but if things play out the way the leaks are leaning, I'll still be hanging on to my Nexus 6. With the larger screen and running Android Nougat at a more than acceptable performance level I just can't find anything that compels me to upgrade.
Even though that's just a rumour and not confirmed, I gotta say HTC really hasn't changed much in a decade. My HTC Sensation looks pretty similar to that, and it's ancient. No, I don't use it anymore, it's a backup phone in case my other device breaks. lol. In other words; not liking it and won't be getting one.
My contract ends around the same time as the new line of Nexus' come around. If HTC fails to wow me, it seems as though I might be going for the galaxy note 7 or s7 edge. Not a big fan of restricted Samsung, otherwise I'd use the OnePlus 3, but alas it doesn't support CDMA
The bigger Nexus 6 variant will probably look slightly different from the smaller though.
I kinda like the new look, but don't like that they're ditching the stereo speakers. I think I'll hold on to the N6 until it dies on me.
Those are just renders. Hopefully they won't ditch the stereo speakers. Either way I'll be sticking to the nexus 6 for a while and wait for reviews instead of purchasing it right away. Judging from the renders, I don't like the look but it might grow on me eventually, kinda like the camera bump on the nexus 6p. I'm actually more excited about custom Roms on Nougat that the new devices. My phone contract finished March next year and even then if the new devices does not seem to fit me I probably would have to wait. The nexus 6 is a fully capable phone for this day and age and will continue to be for a long time thanks to the xda community. The whale will definitely be a legendary phone in my book.

That's wise. I would prefer a phone with a new display like
http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/
I've been watching the leaks and rumors and yeah I'm not too excited. I'll probably be sticking with the 6. For me 6" is the perfect size and I love the stereo speakers and wireless charging. And it's plenty fast enough so I don't see any compelling reason to "upgrade" at this point.
I'd be more compelled to pick up a 6P which will have a reduced price when the Nexus 2016 comes out.
Well I suppose once it comes out the 6p will be cheaper so if the HTC isn't great there will be a cheaper option. I'm guessing they will price it around $500 which has been pretty typical for the Nexus pricing.
HTC has been struggling since they had their last real hit the M8
The rumor design though with no front facing speakers looks awful but would be consistent with HTC lol
Will there ever be a 6" Nexus in the future?
i love the nexus 6 except for the weight of it. the shape was great but right now id prefer something flat.
the only reason why im interested in the new nexus is because of daydream. other than that the nexus' killer features are the screen - 6" qhd amoled - pretty much unique, stereo speakers and qi charging.
will the new nexus have any 2 out of the 3 of these? i sure hope so!
This may be something to wait for....
http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/
what is daydream? doesn't the nexus 6 already have that? I've never seen it do anything
Not certain those HTC really appeal to me. Depends on what phones Verizon has in September, or is announced for it.

Daydream has two meanings
1 screensaver while charging
2 compatibility with new vr standards
Since our nexus 6 already has #1, I'm guessing he means #2
I don't like these renders either. But I remember the dislike for the 6P when renders and test units started showing up. Most hated the design because of the "LaForge" visor. But once we got the real deal it looked much better than anticipated.
Hopefully that's gonna be the case here.

This is XDA. We are phone people. Phone people like phones; especially shiny new phones that are currently not in their pocket. Common sense isn't really an integral part of passion. The real question is simply can you afford to buy a new phone which will be at most an incremental improvement and is thus nothing more than a new toy?

Affording it isn't a problem but it does depend on the resale value if I go for it i.e if the price gap is too big to warrant the extra features.
I'm absolutely getting the 6T. I'll keep my 6 for backup and modding.
The 6T looks brilliant. The 7? We'll see. I skipped the 5 and 5T from the 3T.
Never Settle right?
if there will be no headphone jack 3.5, wireless charging, bigger battery, waterproof ip68 and many more, than I wish oneplus will get bankruptcy.
galaxy s10 is the way to go, even it will definitely has retarded curved display, one of the worst intentions.
honestly, I regret that I didn't wait for note9 but at this point already having oneplus6, I can wait till galaxy s10.
this retarded stupid notch on oneplus drives me crazy everyday.

The S10 will have all of Samsung's bloatware preinstalled and the difference in price would be hard to justify frankly and the difference in camera quality is not as great as the price differential would make it seem.
The headphone jack for me is a non-issue I cannot remember the last time I used it however a bigger battery, under the glass fingerprint scanner, smaller notch are all good upgrades even if the cpu is the same.
Why is your OnePlus6 suddenly trash?

Samsung as well as oneplus has a shi...tty trash software, anyway I need AOSP.
oneplus6 cost me nearly $1000 with proper 256gb storage and galaxy s10 will be even better with 512gb, perfect size.
is going to just a bit more expensive with nearly zero compromises, I need every single possible feature on my phone, especially those features that already on my current phone MUST be on my new phone.
Retarded oneplus seo cannot get it.
I wish them bankruptcy for not delivering a proper product for already high price.
I bought the Huawei P20 Pro and am already considering selling it on eBay for the OnePlus 6T primarily though this is because i dislike the EMUI interface and missed the Bootloader unlocking train with them stopping the service. should still get £400 for it so possibly £70 out of pocket but worth it IMO. I had the OnePlus 3 and i loved that phone just not been overly impressed with the other releases of late.

OP3T user here
why i am not tempted to buy this phone thou i badly need to upgrade since my OP3T shuts down randomly coz of heat issues.
1) no triple camera, all those rumors are false.camera will be a let down with a dual setup visav the other flagships - Honor 10 / Samsung s9 / Note 9 and pixel 3/xl
2) it is no longer a Value for money phone and flagship killer. that tag has been taken over by Poco F1
3) The price has been increasing with every new model thou the justification with 3T was a new processor. 6T will have same SD845 which is in OP6
4) I dont think an inscreen fingerprint scanner is worth the price they r going to charge.for this phone.
5) Removing 3.5mm jack is a big let down and very unlike them when they and the others made fun of iphone when it removed the 3.5mm jack.

The XL looks good but man the size of that notch will take some getting used to.

Well if you've use to the six its just a pinch bigger than that :laugh:
Haven't made friends with the notch trend and at this point I'm not going to, that one is so huge as to be a deal breaker up front. The only reason I'm looking at this phone is because the notch is minimal and there is nothing out there I could otherwise buy. I don't want to move to a smaller screen which takes the vanilla Pixel out of the running. The Find X was interesting but it would seem a true international variant with working bootloader unlock and root may never be available. Samsung burned me with their idiotic bootloader shenanigans with the Note 8 and it will be a long time before they see any of my money again. Gets pretty thin after that. Heavy sigh...
