Nexus 6p, nexus 5x OR the moto x style(pure)

Ok guys which one would you reccomend? I know the opinions here are going to be a bit biased towards the 6p but I'm posting here as that's the one I'm currently leaning towards. As you guys probably have the 6p already it would be good to know your thoughts on what you think would be the better device and what things let the 6p down. Thanks.
Also I have small hands but tend to use all my phone 2 handed anyway so not sure it matters about size?
P.s. I'm coming from a galaxy s6

Returned my pure in a week, loud speakers but the quality was not great, battery life was horrible, great screen, great moto features, average camera, and has A LOT of trouble with third party quick charge 2.0 accessories (main reason for returning this POS, my quick cj charge 2.0 battery packs wouldn't even charge this thing) I even experienced lag once or twice but it was very rares. 5x, well I had this within the same month and the phone just feels cheap and nothing stood out from it. I paid $480 for a 32gb and it was only about $70 more I could get a 32gb 6p which had a much much better build quality... I HAD to return it to get a 6P

Do you have the 6p now? What do you think? I'm a bit worried about battery and im very slightly worried about bending that I've heard of although this isn't a deal breaker for me as I tend to take care of my phones (unlike the misses who just got the nexus 5x as she broke her galaxy S6 lol)
If I do decide to take the plunge and get the 6p this will be my 4th phone in a year, I think I have an addiction!

Honestly I wouldn't be too concerned about build quality issues. My phone feels solid, and more so with the microfiber case. Honestly I was surprised how solid the case itself feels on the phone, considering it is simply a tpu case. My only gripe is lack of band 12....which I hope is officially supported soon.

I was looking at that case on the Google store, it looks nice but a bit pricey, I think I would go with spigen or something similar.
How are you finding the battery life?

It is a bit pricy, but I went with it because of concerns with proper sizing/cutouts from the initial third party batches.
I have only had the phone 2 days(received Monday night), but I got a little over 5 hours sot yesterday, with some music in between.

5 hours isn't bad. Was that on WiFi or LTE? If I could get 5 hours SoT I would be super happy as that's roughly what I get on my galaxy s6

Should be noted that I do not use social apps, including fb and messenger. That could affect your own battery life.

LTE. I have an unlimited plan so I usually run with WiFi off.

Well I went on a mad hunt today for 4 hours around Birmingham england carphone warehouse stores being told by each store "we don't have it but this one does" the store before last told me the nexus 6p wasn't out till tomorrow so I went back to the first store I visited and was told they had just had a delivery and finally got it! After 4 bloody hours! Anyway so far I'm liking it but it is a rather tall slab lol

I have all these devices and prefer the 6p. The moto x is a great device, fits better in the hand (if you do not use a case), smaller bezels and so on. But all around the 6P is the better device. And it is beautiful. 5X is good but the screen doesn't match.

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.

With price reduced + free shipping and MM around the corner... Now is the exciting time for OP2.

- 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 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

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??

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.

Their camera is not good.
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.

There is no such thing as too much ram.

nm..even I'm tired of all the bad 6P references around here.

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.

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!

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.

Would you buy this phone again, tomorrow?

Hello all
Been a flash addict for years now, and have always loved Nexus line of phones. This last year I got the LG V10 (preordered) instead of the 6P.
I am still using my V10 and have very few real complaints with it. But I miss being able to root
I see the deal on Beat Buy for a refurb 32G 6P ~$315 and want to pull the trigger.
Would you guys pull the trigger on this phone, having used it the last X amount of months already? I want to have a phone I can enjoy, flash anything on, and still at the end of the day enjoy as much as my V10
Thx for the input!

Most definitely. I love stock Android and the fact that I'm already using Android n and will have the final official version months before. Overall I like Samsung hardware/design but their downfall is 5+ month wait for updates and the fact that touchwiz starts to lag. That in my opinion is unacceptable. I also love the stereo speakers and the big screen. Overall it's the perfect package at least for me

Thank you!
I am blessed with a great camera on the V10. However even though it's one of the most vanilla OS skins LGs UI has begun to lag horrendously over the last couple months.

The 6p is the best phone I've ever had. I don't even look at, or shop for other phones and I don't think I will for a while. The only thing it sucks at, imho, are macro photos.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Definitely. One detraction: thermal throttling SUCKS on there 6p. Until you root and change there thermal settings, gaming is crap. Otherwise, love it!
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'll be honest with you, and I doubt many people would feel the same way I do, but I recently bought a 6p (simply because of the ridiculous price I managed to snag it at) which I use as a travel phone and something to store my offline Spotify playlists on.
My main phone is an S7 Edge, begrudgingly bought as the Note 5 wasn't released in the UK and I had previously used a Note 4.
After playing around with the 6p, I find myself gravitating towards it.
It's a fantastic phone, don't get me wrong- it's huge, but it's freakin' incredible.
I'm genuinely considering swapping my sim over to my 6p and leaving the S7 Edge on the side.
The only thing that keeps me with the S7 is the camera, however, I can't fault the 6p.
It's a great phone.
I'd highly recommend it.
Oh also, I'm running the Android N Dev preview.
It's FANTASTIC.
Just my opinion

As someone who has bought and sold over half a dozen phones in 2 years, I dumped my Note 4 for the 6P and haven't looked back. I've had it for about a year now, and I have no desire to get anything else. The others all left me wanting in some way, but I'm thoroughly impressed with the 6P. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if I had to, it's definitely worth the price.

Can you give me a detailed pros vs cons between the two phones? Thank you.

Bought mine late (a few months ago) after my LG G4 died twice (boot loop error and wifi issues, and my wife's G4 is doing the same now). I wouldn't think a phone that has been out this long would still be on top, but this thing is great. I have no issue with the camera (yes, its slow in HDR, but it has to process the image), the fingerprint sensor is a must-have (my first phone with one), and the size is perfect. Its big, but not too big. Screen is awesome too. My only issue is with the bluetooth, and its just minor stuff, but I'm not a heavy BT user to begin with. Battery is amazing so far as well. I will not go back to LG for quite some time. I loved my G3, but the G4 was total garbage. The camera was good, but waaaaaay overprocessed by their software.
The 6P is a total winner

I got mine as a gift (yeah I know) in July. I love this phone. Yeah, granted gameplay isn't the greatest for me. For graphic intense games stutter quite a bit and battery life isn't the greatest (I think this phone might be defective), but vanilla Android has been the way to go for me. The HTC 10 would've been my next choice though. So in short, yes I would definitely buy this phone.

Thank you all for the input. I am hoping that best buy will still be offering the refurb 32g at the $315 price point next week when I get paid... Does anyone know if it will still be up at that point?
I find myself wanting this phone more now that I know it can be had, I wanted this phone when it was released. I will definitely pull the trigger if the deal is still going next week.
Thank you!

I think you could find a better price on swappa or similar. Amazon prime was selling them cheap. Not sure about the best by y promotion though, sorry

Definetely I would buy it again. On Nougat DP4 it's massive.

Absolutely. What other phone out right now today is as good as a high end pure Android phone ? Galaxy S7 Edge ? LOL no thanks. HTC 10 ? Been there done that was ok. OnePlus Three ? LOL nope. iPhone ? HAHA

My wife gifted me a 6P at Xmas last year to replace my aging HTC M7. I have to say this is the best phone I've had. However I would not purchase one tomorrow, it is far to close to the release of a new set of Nexus devices to even consider purchasing this phone right now. I would personally wait and do one of two things.
1. When the new Nexus comes out and if money isn't an issue I'd go ahead and pickup whatever replaces the 6p.
2. When the new Nexus comes out and if I wanted bang for buck I'd buy a heavily discounted 6p.

Could you or anyone else find a better deal? I've looked a bit... But I'll search some more before buying. Thanks!!!

It's the best phone I've ever had. the battery life is awesome for me (5-6h SoT), fast charge, great camera, great screen size, fast fingerprint scanner, I couldn't go back to a phone without front facing speakers. Yes I would buy this phone again tomorrow

It's not defective. Heat throttling.

I was about to post a disappointed with 6p post in general but I'll start here instead. I LOVE Android and the phones and want to love the 6p but I just cannot keep it as my primary.
What I love:
Screen is beautiful
Battery life and charging speed are great
Speakers are really nice
Phenomenal cameras
Why I can't keep using it:
Phone conversation quality is just above terrible with headphones. I have constant complaints over the quality on the other end when I use any headphones, doesn't matter brand, style, etc. Would LOVE any fixes people have found.
The 810 is a horrible processor. I cannot believe how hot this phone has to get to just run average games. I live between the iOS and Android world, l just enjoy seeing what they both have to offer. My nearly 2yr old 6+ crushes the 6p in gaming, any game, any tweak, doesn't matter they just run better. On top of that using the thermal tweak to reduce, it doesn't get rid of, the gaming lag turns the phone into lump of hot coal. I can't comfortably take a call if I've been playing a game.
Ambient display, I've had to turn it off because no matter how I positioned my phone it would turn on in my pocket and I'd have a long typed up message of garble or something else very random on screen.
I so badly want to love this phone, it's a great size, I love Google integration, I love Android, I just can't use it as a daily driver.

Yes and no.
It's a great phone with a gorgeous screen and big display But..... The 810 Is horrible and throttles heavily, the build quality isn't great and the videos are horrible without OIS. I wouldn't buy it again at this point in time, I'd wait for the Note 7 or the next Nexus.
