Nexus 6P or Note 5

Has anyone received the Nexus 6P that already had the Note 5?
I was wondering which one you liked more, and why?

I have them both, just received my 6P. The Note 5 has the edge right now because of its multitasking capabilities. I have to use it more before being more definitive.

Note 5 has multitasking abilities? It can't even hold more than 4 application in the background...

Dual window is multitasking. Not having apps waiting on the background.

I'm getting a note 5 Saturday

Custom ROM's on the 6p have aosp multitasking option in developer options. It's experimental but it does work on every app (I think you need to root the note 5 to use any app, I did for my s5 and note 4) it works though I'm using it right now for xda app and hangouts

That is called multiwindow. And nexus 6p has it better because it works with every app. Note 5 has better camera and feels more premium. It is a boring device that will never take full advantage of hardware because of ****ty software code that Samsung puts in it.

6P you can't use two apps at the same time like the Note 5. Send me a screen shot with running two apps.

Had a at&t note 5 for 3 weeks before getting my nexus 6p and the nexus 6p is more so the right phone for me ....the front facing speakers are great like my old nexus 6 but even better , the software experience on the nexus is more fluid than the note 5 , the note 5 does have a brighter display , the note 5 does have a slightly better camera but both are great! , battery life so far is better on the nexus 6p, never had ram issues with my note 5 so multitasking is about even even besides the dual window option's on the note , you get more storage on the nexus out of the box 25gb usable on the nexus only had around 20gb usable on the note....i don't seem to miss the s pen much nor do I miss wireless charging....but to sum it up both phones are great

I wouldn't go as far to say all of that. However, it is true Samsung handicaps what can be done by the device. Hardly any useful apps can be used to multitask I just came from the note 4 and I'll tell you that I'd ditch multitasking and all of tw features in a heartbeat for this phone. Plus I don't like the way Samsung is designing their new phones. Hate the metal design time and time again plastic has been the better material, no removable back or SD port. They killed off the main reason why I would even buy a Samsung flagship over the nexus line. And this is someone who has had every note except the 5 and had the s1 and 2.
*edit
I've never felt the note 5 to be premium. I prefer the note 4 over the 5 build quality and the camera is better on the 6p.

It's just my opinion, multi-window is true multitasking. You don't necessarily have to hide one app to use the next one. That's the same thing the iPhone uses.

Well, since I just sold my Note 5 for the 6P, I guess my answer would be the 6P.
I just got it today, so my experience with the 6P is somewhat limited but here are my thoughts (I'll leave the price difference out of it, but that's obviously a huge factor as well):
The Note 5 is probably the BEST phone on the market right now, period. Features, power, design, it has everything. Everything except being a Nexus and running stock Android. This means the 6P has a noticeably smoother and, in my opinion, better UI. The Exynos CPU is undoubtedly faster. This is most noticeable when launching apps. The Note 5 will definitely beat the 6P there. That said, would you even notice if you didn't have them side by side? Probably not. The Snapdragon 810 is no slouch and nothing feels slow when you're using the phone. So to me, the Note 5 has an overall negligible edge on power when it comes to actual use. As for the multitasking capabilities mentioned above, unless you mean the split screen which usually seemed like little more than a gimmick to me, the multitasking is pretty bad on the Note 5. It has an extra GB of memory, and yet it still constantly kills apps. Hopefully Samsung tweaks that more with future updates because I feel the 6P probably has the advantage in multitasking at the moment.
The Note 5 also has a slightly better screen. They say they are the same panel, but I suspect either Huawei gets the slightly lower quality screens of the two, or Samsung still has some tricks up their sleeve to optimize their own screen, or probably a little of both. That would explain the number of screen complaints on the 6P while the panel is still relatively new to production. Again, assuming you don't get a pink screen like some, the screen still looks every bit as good for the most part. I can't imagine anyone complaining about a good 6P screen. Samsung has a brightness setting called The Face of the Sun which I don't miss forgetting to turn back to adaptive before looking at the phone in the middle of the night. I haven't really used the phone when it was really bright outside yet, so I can't say for sure if I miss the extra brightness there, but again I have no complaints about the 6P.
The camera is also better in the Note 5, but the 6P's is pretty damn good too, and if you care that much, get a real camera and stop trying to take pictures on your phone. That's pretty much the end of that discussion for me. The main reason I got the Note 5 was because Samsung finally designed a nice phone again, but again, the 6P feels equally premium. In fact, while I respected the design of the Note 5 and wanted to like it, I kind of didn't. Something about the feel of it just never felt quite right to me. I still think a glass back on a phone is stupid, just like it was when Apple did it and learned their lesson. I very much like the look and feel of the 6P, especially the Frost version that I have. The back of the Note 5 is too rounded and it makes the already slippery glass back feel like a bar of soap in your hand. Oh, and one last feature that was actually pretty important to me on the Note 5 was the wireless charging. Too bad it doesn't work half the time.
Now, onto the 6P. Like I said, the 6P has more than enough processing power, a more than good enough camera and screen (again assuming a good one), and a fantastic design and feel. Remember that sinking feeling you got when that first 6P pic leaked? It's light years better in person. I really do like the design of this phone. It reminds me of my One which was one of my favorite phones. Being that we are all here on XDA, the advantage of the 6P is that it DOESN'T have the Exynos processor. I had the Note 5 less than a month and was already getting annoyed that I would never be able to have anything but the stock software or small mods on top of it. Touchwiz was incredibly better since I last saw it, but it's still pretty ugly, in particular the notification drawer in the Note 5 really bugged me compared to stock Android. Because of all this, the smoothness of the 6P makes it feel like a faster device during normal use. You'd never know it was a little slower without having them side by side. And of course, there's always the time difference in receiving updates. Sure you'll get Marshmallow on the Note 5, and probably pretty soon. But every update after that will start getting more questionable and probably slower as other phones become their priority.
So in conclusion/tl;dr, they are both at the very top of the list of best phones on the market. The speed differences aren't something you'd ever even know most of the time without directly comparing them, and you'd be forgiven to think the 6P might even be faster. They both top the list in nearly every category. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in either phone. If you value any of the Samsung specific bits like the stylus, then the Samsung is for you. If you value the ability to modify the software on your phone and receive updates as soon as they are available, the 6P is for you. If you have either, consider yourself lucky to have one of the best phones on the market. I switched because I wanted to be able to use real ROMs and kernels, not just the tease you get with an Exynos device, and I wanted updates ASAP, even as previews. I suspect most people who are here on XDA probably value this as well, which is fairly evident by the fact that a month newer device has WAY more activity on here.

Dude I was scared to do the switch. The 6P MURDERS the note 5 (in my opinion).
Don't be scared if you're on the same boat, or at least try it and if you don't like it, just send it back.

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.

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

Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

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.

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

Unhappy with the Axon 7 after 2 weeks:Questions

I came from a Nexus 6. Here are the issues I have with the axon 7 and why I am returning it:
-Screen is 5.5" Not 5.9" or greater like the Nexus 6. I thought I could get use to it and like the screen being smaller but I just miss a bigger screen. I wish for a Axon 7 pro or plus model that had a bigger screen.
-No water resistance or dust resistance (after 1 week I noticed the speakers were not as loud as my Nexus 6.. I took some air spray and sprayed air in the speakers of the axon 7 and the clarity came back... Annoying to have to do this all the time. The Nexus 6 didn't have this issue as it it dust resistant)
-No wireless charger. I love dropping the Nexus 6 on the wireless charger and picking it up with no wires.
-No on screen buttons. With on screen buttons I can customize the button shape, color, etc... More over can use pie which I love as this gives you MORE screen and hides the navigation buttons until you need them on the Nexus 6)
-Lack of roms. Unlike the Nexus 6 which has a HUGE dev community offering custom roms, the Axon 7 doesn't as not many know about Axon / ZTE.
**Side note. I am really loving the front facing speakers of the device. Like the Nexus 6, this device has true dual speakers and it's just great along with the AMOLED display like the Nexus 6 it has deep blacks. Does anyone know a phone that exists like the Axon 7 but also ticks the boxes I outline above?
At @02busa , you live in the states like me. What do you think? I have read that this device checked off many boxes for you. I'd love your input on my thread. I respect your posts here.

I've had it for about a month already no issues here love this phone and no ZTE is not paying me to say this its a great phone for the price. flawed? yes but seriously what phone isn't? Just look at the Note7 which is the device I came from before the Axon7 and for the price I can't complain the specs are amazing camera isn't as great as Samsung S7 but its good enough for me.

Totally agree. I had a vzn s7e as a daily driver. Now I split the duties depending on what my day consists of. Like many have said, is the phone perfect? No. Does it have flaws? Yes. But for the price point, specs and the POTENTIAL development. I believe the thing many people are having a problem with this phone is being patient!(I'm guilty of it myself)

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.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

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.

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.

Should I give up my S7E for a unlocked v20 or iphone?

I currently have an S7 Edge I got when I had to return my Note 7. Is it worth the money to switch to the V20 unlocked version that BH sells even though it doesn't offer Wifi Calling? Also I hear about the camera glass breaking on it as well easily.
Finally, would the iPhone 7 Plus be a better alternative to the V20?
I'm seriously thinking about it and wondering what v20 users think.

Few comparisons.
For Better camera : stay with S7E. Awesome low light pics .
For Screen size : Go for V20 larger displays.
For Screen resolution : stay with S7E way better resolution
Edge vs 2nd screen : v20 I am finding it more useful then S7E.
Power button : stay with S7E don't have to lift the phone to power on with S7E . V20 power button is in the back .
Notifications : S7E has notifications light . V20 doesn't. Notifications on 2nd screen .
For mobile pay : S7E is winner Samsung pay. V20 Android pay is hit and miss.
Removable battery : Go for V20
Wireless charging : S7E , v 20 doesn't have this feature.
Will never go for iPhone there is no comparison between all 3. Hands down android any day.
Actually as I am typing this planing to go back to my S7E . Lol
Hope this helps

I get bored with phones lol. I had the s7 edge back in march, then bought the Note 7 then had to return that and got the Edge. Nearly got the iphone plus instead of the Edge but it was out of stock. Now i see the v20 with a larger screen and more features.
Also better cases for teh v20 that are more protective because it has a flat screen. Im using a Defender for the Edge which this screen protector actually fits tight to the screen but you have to tap hard because it's a thicker kind of plastic. Im thinking about getting Speck candygrip shell for it and sticking with the edge maybe.

Actually, you don't need the power button except you want to turn the phone off/restart the phone.
Hit the screen twice can turn the screen on/off

I had the s7 then went for the note 7 and when I had to turn that back in I went with the s7 edge. The edge was an ok phone but I felt it was a downgrade from the note 7.
This is how I rate the edge to the v20.
Screen Samsung wins it hands down for brightness and auto brightness. Where as the v20 seems to not know what the correct amount should be. Plus the color on the edge is more vibrant and richer than the v20.
Camera ill just say toss up as the note 7 spoiled me.
The second screen on the v20 is very useful if you want to switch between two apps a lot and don't want to press the square. Also taking screenshots is a breeze with that also. I just hope they come out with more function for the second screen as it has potential. The edge screen I hated as if you was typing in landscape it would pick up touches from the inside of my thumb and index finger.
If you need water resistant then keep the edge but where v20 gives that up you do get a removable battery. That can allow the phone to last longer and keep you from cracking open a sealed device when you have a battery issue and want to replace.
I don't care where the power button is placed. As with all my cellphones over the years has had then in all different locations. So up to you if that's an issue or not but with it in the back and recessed it keeps from being turned on like with the Samsung phones. So that can be a plus in the v20 side.
I do miss Samsung pay and wish the app could be placed on any phone and not Samsung only. I have gift cards on my account but guess I'll just use my s6 edge plus for that. So if you don't have a backup Samsung device might be hard to use your cards.
Big plus for the V20 is the built in DAC for headphones. I'd you have higher end buds or phones the fax will engage and makes it sound way better than the stock sound chip. Was the one reason I got this phone was to try the dac. Sure it can't compete with the stand alone dac/amps but for portability the phones dac works surprisingly well. If you want to trick the dac to turn on because your headsets resistance is low. Just buy a little male/female aux cable and plug that in first then your headsets and it tricks it on. Be careful. As it can damage the cheaper headsets/buds
In the end both phones are good devices and each has their strong points. Swapped the s7 edge for the v20 because I had a. Note 7 and felt the edge was a step backwards.
So hope this helps you and as far as the v20 camera glass breaking easily. Take that with a grain of salt. You don't know how the person treated their phone. The same thing went on when the HTC One M7 came out. People blamed everyone but themselves. First thing all them people on rhw HTC one site would say is I babied my phone. I had a HTC one for 2 years and my lens never cracked.
Good luck on your choice in phone

I came from the Note 5 if that helps. I had edge features modded in and I never really found them useful. The first week it's like yeah this is awesome than after that your like meh. I honestly have found the V20 to be a pretty good experience so far. It's easier to develop and the community on it has grown tremendously already. I see a bright future for the V20 just give it time.

Even me i think to swapping the v20 because the battery ln stand by is not good also i missed the LED notification? but at the same time i like the lg software more then samsung double tap ,gallery ,ir.... .
If go to the battery life section all the results is awesome? compared to v20 actually i think to wait until th G6 or S8 release then i will decide which one go with .

if I were you i'll just going to wait for the S8...
the only good thing about the LG v20 is just the removable battery...

If you get an iphone you wont need the xda app i guess. See you in 2 years.

I was in the exact same bought. I had an S7E, then bought Note 7, then had to return Note 7, so bought an iPhone 7 Plus. Stayed on the iphone for about 3 days, but couldnt take it anymore so bought an S7E again. Then I started missing the 5.7 inch screen so went for V20 !
In my honest opinion after trying out every damn option out there is that they are ALL THE SAME. I really say which is BETTER between Note 7, iphone7+, S7E, and even Pixel XL. They are all good. Sure, each one have advantages but thats about it. Neither one has a BAD camera. neither has a BAD screen, you know ?
Now considering that, the key thing for me boils down to price. and that is different in each part of the world. here in New Zealand, i have to pay 1600$ for a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus, 1400$ for 128GB Pixel XL, and 900$ for V20 or S7E. So the choice is clear really.
Between S7E and V20, i would defintly go for V20 having tried both. once the S7e gets the final non-beta nougat update and receives all the features the Note 7 had, then it can contend with V20.
at the end of the day, i am thankful for so many good options ! haha

SO just to clarify, if you need to add alot of money on top of your S7E for a V20, then i wouldnt suggest doing it, because you dont REALLY get anything extra, especially when the Nougat update hits the S7e. but if you dont have to add much money and you are looking for something new, then you will definitely love the V20.

IS the unlocked version worth it even though it's missing wifi calling?

B and H has an open Box V20 unlocked for $100 cheaper. Is that a roll of the dice buying open box even though it still has the warranty?

No. I sold my LG V20 today. very bad battery life, I had running out of battery in 6 hours. I had Note 7 and had been using all Note series. S7E is the best option for you right now. I bought Huawei Mate 9 and I'm very happy, I like it because I have also been using Mate 8 before. I don't think you will consider it, so my suggestion is to stick with S7E.

Yes, knew some of you will feel like that. Me and my brother bought my LG V20 after reading reviews here for all the good functions, especially the battery life. I had a spare battery set, but then if the battery lasts only 6-7 hours, then even 2 batteries weren't enough. I have installed Accubattery and it showed sometimes it drains 1700 to 2000 ma per hour. Even if I would turn off the data and WiFi. I even tried Greenify. Even blocked background data for many apps. Maybe my model here in Hong Kong is more affected. But anyway, after receiving 3 updates, it was still same, looks like all updates were for security patches. I miss my Galaxy Note 7, but Huawei Mate 9 gives me similar feel, except the waterproofing, which I don't think is going to be a big problem.
