Nexus 6p size against nexus 9 - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Advise please, i currently have anexus 5 and also have a nexus 9 tablet. I am due a upgrade and was thinking about a 6p, however due to have a nexus 9 was woundering how large a 6p is to a 9. Is it worth getting a 6p or shall i get a 5x due to the size??

Get the 6p. Its a better device. I went from Nexus 6-- 6p and the 6p IMO is actually a perfect size device. The way it fits in hand is great. I did quite a bit of reading and checked out 5x and 6p before I made my purchase but I highly recommend the 6p to anyone. Its the best Nexus made to date.

Get 6P for best size and feel. You might not even need the Nexus9 anymore.

Just came from a gs4 which is slightly under 5 inch. No problems here adjusting to the 6p. Go to a retail store and check out the nexus 6. Is about the same height as the 6p. The main difference is the 6p is much more narrow from side to side making it much easier to hold as mentioned above. The 5x is OK, but the 6p is truly an amazing phone. Best looking phone available as well!

I noticed yesterday that both the Nexus 5X and 6P have the 5 column desktop setup like the Nexus 6 did. I always thought it had to do with screen size but obviously the 5X proves that wrong. Anyone know why non-Nexus devices like the X Pure are still stuck with 4?
This is in the wrong section.

Nexus 6P user waiting on 5X to arrive tomorrow

Got Nexus 6P from day one and been running on project fi for a month. Saw Google offer on 5X and treated my self with white 32gb for $250. Can't wait to see how I would like the smaller screen and build.
Have had big phones for ever. Note 3, Note4, Nexus 6, and 6P. I really want to like the 5x . Planning on keeping both if I do.
I have had both since launch and I love them both. I prefer using my 5x mostly for its size and N5 nostalgia. I use both my 5x and 6p daily but my 5x is currently my daily driver.

has the new March update really address the performance issues the phone had?
Nexus 6 user just got the 5x. Same reasons. I think I will stick with the Nexus 6. Was pretty disappointed that Google went with 5.7 inches

I loved my Nexus 6. I was thinking about buying one back and the 5x deal came out. So decided on that. Are u returning your 5x?

I'm biased towards big phones. Very not sure how I will react but good to hear its competing with ur 6p
I know there is like .01% chance of this happening but I know there is a rumor Huawei will be building a 7 inch tablet. I would love if they made it like their mediapad x2 7 inch tablet with phone capability. Bezzles are really small I think 80% screen. I seriously doubt it, but I would love to see a true phone/tablet hybrid

Yes..version J has some significant changes... My 5X is super smooth...

Typing this from my 5X. Initial thoughts compared to 6P:
colors look a bit washed out but screen looks nice still.
This thing is so light it's crazy.
Feels much smaller
Feels like a toy compared to big phones I'm used to.
It feels very nice in the hand.
Looks to be smooth so far as I got all updates OTA even the one from just couple days ago.
YES I like it and most likely will keep both phones on fi. I need to use it as my daily driver for sometime to make the final judgment
I just received my 5X today and after having a 6 for about 6 months i'm very happy to be back to a smaller phone. I really liked my Galaxy nexus, nexus 4, and 5, the 6 was just too wide.. honestly it's just right for a phone for me. Can't wait to try out N next.

Been using 5x all day today. Mixed feelings and all related to size. Sometime it feels nice and sometimes it feels just too small. It will be my main driver for few more days to asses. Performance wise, it has been a champ. 6P is in hibernation right now
I'm almost in the same boat except I currently have the MXPE. I just ordered the 5x through the Project Fi promotion. I'm excited to give it and Project Fi a go. I really like the size of the MXPE for media but I do wish it was a little bit smaller at times. Can't wait!

Different strokes for different folks. haha As I mentioned I have the 6p, but I also have the iPhone 6s and the HTC M9. Out of all of them I like the size of the 5X best. The 6p feels just a little too big for me, the 6s feels a little too small, the m9 feels smaller as well. The 5x is my Goldie Locks in terms of size
OK, stop me, stop me now. My 6P been off all day, and this small sucker is taking over lol. I am really not sure I want him to take over his more mature expensive brother. Help help help!
I'm rocking the Moto Nexus 6 right now and my 5x will be here on Tuesday. I couldn't pass up the fi sale price and I am kinda looking forward to a smaller more lightweight phone to be in my pocket all day. I loved my original Nexus 5, and am hoping the camera beats the heck out of my N6.

I'm in the same boat, N6 with black 32gb 5x arriving Tuesday. Mxpe on Craigslist awaiting new owner. Hoping this new J update helps the little guy out.

Yes, camera IS better than N6. Same camera that is in 6p is in 5x.
I've had the 6p from the start as well, but ordered a white 32 gb 5x from B&H yesterday. Got it for $300, which I though was a damn good deal.

How is the performance of the 5x compared to Moto Nexus 6

Nexus 6p vs 5x

Hello everybody! So I've had my galaxy s4 since last January and I'm planning on changing it in a couple of months. My top 2 are definitely those 2 nexuses, but is 6p worth almost 200$ more ( equivalence in Polish currency )? What I'm concerned of when it comes to 5x is 2gb of RAM. Nowadays maybe it's enough, but in like 2 years time it might be too little. Screen size is not a factor that'd make me pay so much, because now I have 5'' and either 5.2 or 5,7'' will be fine for me. I don't want you to give me raw specs, because I know them. I want you to give me your opinion, considering personal experience, if possible.
Thank you in advance.
I have both, the 5x and the 6p. I like the 5x for its compactness and lcd screen. But it does lag from time to time due to the low RAM.

Galaxy s7 edge or nexus 6p

I currently have the galaxy s7 edge and my friend has the nexus 6p. I was thinking about trading with him. Do you all think that would be a good trade for me or should I keep the s7 edge?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
Assuming both are in good shape and you want the Nexus, I would sell the S7 Edge and buy a new Nexus 6P. Your model of the S7 in mint condition is selling for an average of $650 or so on Swappa and a brand new Nexus 6P starts at $450 for 32GB.
keep the s7 edge..
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Money wise not worth it, you can sell your s7 and buy new 6p lol
Sell your S7Edge and buy the nexus 6p brand new and you will recoup 150$
I say 6p. I've used the s7 and it's just like the s6. The incremental processor upgrade is big on paper but unnoticeable in real life use. you could get a used s6 for cheaper. Not worth it IMO. The 6p gets updated monthly and will have N when it's released in Q3. The value of a Nexus device is undeniable.
Without question the S7 Edge imo.
If you like to tinker with your phone, the 6P is the only way to go. I'd sell the Galaxy, buy a 6p, and use the extra cash for some brewskis.
Get 6P only if You're Nexus die-hard fan, otherwise keep S7.
Nexus 6P is still very solid and capable device, but S7 has far better camera - both hardware and software - better battery, SD card support and superior screen witch is much brighter outdoors. Of course touchwiz can be a pain it the ass, but installing meterial theme from samsung apps and custom launcher will do the job.

Overdid it saying far better camera. Nexus 6p has just as good camera as many reviews already proved, even in low light you get pictures that are a bit darker compared to s7, but with way less noise. Agree on other points tho, battery, sd slot, dont know about screen, happy with mine no problems here. Overall s7e better device, but pricier.
Well I had the buy one get one free deal so I got two

Ok, camera is not that bad, but it lacks of ois and good software, because Google camera app is a bit disappointment. Other than that Galaxy S7 is still better device. But if you are nexus lower then there's no way around than 6P

Galaxy S6 Edge for Nexus 6P? Yer or No?

Currently I have Galaxy S6 Edge year and month old, I have offer ONE for ONE to change it for Nexus 6P.
I accepted it on first because I hate how Samsung slow is, I have Nexus 5 before S6, but my friend tell me to not accept it.
Guy offer me 1 month old Nexus 6P that have 11 months more warranty, but I don't know what I will lost, what not.
What you guys think?

Nexus 6P HANDS DOWN. I own both, and that's a freaking steal lol...the 6p has been out for a year, yes, but it's a fantastic device. Plus the custom rom'ing ability, etc. is unmatched. As long as there's nothing wrong with it I'm sure but you'd be stupid to not take that up imho
What about screen brightness on Android Nougat?
What about colors on screen?
Also video recording?
I read it is really point where S6 is much better and that is important to me as designer.
Thanks

Brightness on nougat is for me high, but thats probably the phone... i dont go much higher then 50% brightness.
that is really something you dont want someone else his opinion about?! I recommend that you go to a phone store and try them both out... see how you like the screens of both phones?! Isnt this also software that gives you different screen color/brightness? You can always adjust with kcal control of a custom kernel?! Or just compare the screen specs?
i've had both.
the freedom of the nexus hands down.
6p on nougat is fine, using PureNexus right now. with the amount of mods you can tweak the 6p to however you like
no way, GS6 sucks compared to the 6P...
Owned both (GS6 and GS6 edge, and 6P, and the nexus is far far more interesting to own in the end of 2016.)
6P all the way, especially with the specs and XDA development....
Thanks guys for support, what about MIDI? I use Soundcamp on Samsung for my MIDI keyboard?

My personal opinion is the nexus 6p. It's a great phone and huge support here too.

Depends on the storage size of both devices. If its 32gb, I would pass unless its cosmetic/defect free and I could sell for larger storage.
32gb=20ish free storage.
I think these photos attached should sway your decision to liking the 6P over the S6
These are wholesale prices, so what I would buy them for over what I would sell them for - meaning the price is higher if you were an everyday customer at my part time job
Hell no. This was my previous phone before my 6P. Only thing better is the camera. The experience is not nearly as fluid or smooth as the 6P and battery life was not as good either.
If it was a S7 edge, then I may consider
Why I think, just randomly all of you guys understand that I have Nexus and want to give it for Galaxy S6 Edge?
Nexus 6P all the way.
Unless you're into gimmicky features and Samsungs design

25.9 to be exact so 26gb
Just stabilization would mean 100%, but without OIS I am at 90%
Nexus 6P No Question!
6P most definitely. We have both in our family. I absolutely detest the Galaxy when I have to use it. It seems so much slower and less responsive than the Nexus 6P. I could go on and on about all of the things I like better about the Nexus and could come up with nothing I like better on the Samsung. That says it all.
