Just taking a poll. Me personally I kind of did at first but now not so much, do wish we had marshmallow already. Oneplus two's build quality might be superior.
I'm selling my OP2 as soon as my Nexus 6P arrives (next week). The OP2 isn't a bad phone at all, but I REALLY miss not having front facing speakers... That has turned out to be a deal-killer for me.
Since 2012, I've had phones with front facing speakers and I thought I would try the OP2 and see if I could live without them, but it seems I can't
I was planning to sell the OPT and buy a 6p but not one person in the world wants to pay more then €300 for it while I paid €450 for it 4 weeks ago. It's definitely not like the OPO, I could have sell it with profit last year. The OPT was a bad decision and it's the f***ing invite that made me buy it. I think my wife won't let me buy the 6p so I'm a little disappointed now.
Technically, in terms of raw performance the Oneplus 2 trumps over the Nexus 6P any day. That full HD display helps a lot in the battery (at least in my experience with the OP2 and 6P). Only factor limiting such potentiality is the damn OXygen OS, which in my experience has yet to gain proper optimization with the hardware, but then custom roms with that are cm based are already quite buttery smooth in user experience. Oneplus 2 has superior camera, and with the latest software update, video recording has been fixed. Overall, in my opinion, some of the advantages of getting the NExus 6p if you are a character with little knowledge in android hacking are faster software updates, front facing speakers, gorgeous AMOLED display (but then again the QHD evidently takes a hit on the battery), larger developer community( I might be wrong, but then OP2 already has a significant amount of devs), and stock android experience. lol
Both Nexus 5x and 6p are more expensive than OPT. So i definitely not regret buying OPT week after release! It was great phone for me since i got it, sure some bugs there and there but overall very satisfied with it. There are better smartphones, but in this price range - OPT is still one of the best.
Since the 64gb version 6p is 270€ ($300) more expensive than the OPT I am not even thinking about it.
I'm very happy with my Oneplus Two. In india, i can buy 2 Oneplus Two for the price of 1 Nexus 6p 64gb. So i definitely don't regret buying Oneplus Two.

This. It's not really a fair comparison as the Oneplus 2 so much cheaper. I would probably buy a 6P if I could justify the additional cost, but for the money I think the Oneplus 2 is great

yes, it is still by default in 1080P 30FPS. Oneplus has yet to release another software update that would inculcate the 60FPS functionality in FHD recording. The camera can shoot with that frames.

That's nice.
It's been confirmed?
Well let me add to this thread that I do regret it as my oneplus two home button went dead yesterday. Pretty disappointing.
No regrets so far. Google went crazy at prices in Europe. For the same space and specs they sell it for twice the price for an OnePlus 2 64GB. Yes, I blame Google for it, because the 6P is ugly as hell. Well, I don't care that much about design, but if I pay twice the price, I'd consider to buy a LG G4 rather than a Nexus 6P.
To make everything simple, Oneplus 2 has potentials of surpassing even the latest flagships of today in terms of software experience. The specifications surpass or at par with the greatest today. Like i've said, only thing limiting the full potentials of this phone is Oxygen OS. If Oneplus would fix the bugs and stuttering of the Oxygen OS, this device would be even faster (technically) than a nexus 6P.
In terms of capturing images, it can go toe to toe even with the note 5, or G4 (which are the best in the smarthphone industry today.). GO check the reviews with the camera that has the Oxygens OS 2.1.1 if you want proof.
Display appreciation is subjective. An AMOLED panel would have high saturation as compared to the true to life colors of an IPS LCD display. QHD is just overkill, and it is a minuscule update from a FHD display. 5 - 6 inches will not give significant changes if upgrade to a QHD.
I'm quite the opposite. Glad I've bought OP2 instead of waiting Nexus 6P.

Glad to have both. The 6P is much nicer, hardware-wise, while the OP2 makes a good beater.
That said, I really hope the OP3 has a QHD AMOLED. A decent screen would take OnePlus to the next level.

Why do you feel the 6P is nicer? I'm about to pull the trigger.

Basically this:
Camera is important to me, you can read all about the differences but the 6P is decidedly superior.
Display: brighter, more contrast, accurate colors and of course it's bigger too. I expect some degree of minor burn-in after a year or two but in the meantime this QHD AMOLED is incredible, compared to the washed-out and dimmer FHD display of a OP2.
Fingerprint sensor on the 6P is quick and all the upcoming roms will support it, while OP2's FP sensor only works with OP's closed source rom until Carl Pei gets the ball rolling.
Front facing speakers. Wish OP2 had something even 20% as good.
128 fat gigabytes. Case closed.
In OP2's favor:
I wish Huawei outfitted the 6P with a Sandstone back or skin. Slippery aluminum of the 6P is nearly as bad as glass or glossy plastic
Acceptable bezel. The 6P's bezels are a bit big for my liking, though nowhere near Apple or HTC
dualSIM! Great because I travel a lot
notification slider
My overall preferences are 6P > OP2 > S6 if that helps.
Hope they better the Oxygen OS and would take full advantage of the powerful hardware
Hi everybody, thanks for reading , Sooo I am an LG G5 owner right now(the 4gb ram and SD820 version and having the phone around 7 months already), Im thinking to change to a Nexus 6p, LG G5 is not a bad phone actually, I like the two rear cameras from the back, Even that I dont use much the 8MP one(only for a big selfie group sometimes), the selfie camera is good for me actually, So Im thinking of sell my device and buy an Nexus 6p, the principal reasons for a phone to me are: battery life, screen(5.5 to 5.7) and body ratio, selfie cam which I use more than the rear one :laugh: . I never had a Nexus before, I was always like to test a Nexus for the experience of pure Android and faster updates or improvements, So what you think? Its a good choice to move from LG G5 to a Nexus 6p? Should I wait to the Pixel(that its going to be expensive in my country El Salvador :crying: ) or HTC Bolt(that I started to like) to arrive my country? Would you suggest another phone?
I would put some reasons for what I have seen against/for both phones for what I have seen
LG G5:
Pros:
Had 2 rear cameras, both have a really good resolution and the 8MP one is almost like a GoPro, which is cool
Had a good selfie cam
SD 820 and 4GB RAM do the job
Feels good in one hand
Speaker is pretty good
Cons:
Its value could be at $250-$300 to the end of the year or the next(in my country El Salvador), really underpriced
Not root, but Nougat is coming
Kind of ugly, even that I had a Dbrand Skin on it, doesnt feel/see premium
Bad batterly life when heavy use
For what I had seen on videos, this are the reasons I would take or not the Nexus:
Pros:
Really good camera, I think that is a beast in low light photos, even that only have 1 and not 2 cameras
A better selfie cam that the G5(which I use a lot)
Its value does not drop to much(around $350 the 32GB version actually in my country)
Amazing battery life
Fast updates (until mid of 2017)
Design
Double Speaker
Cons:
SD 810 and 3GB RAM(Its not bad but is getting old )
Its a 2015 device
Could be bigger(not the screen size, the phone)
Now we have the new gen of Nexus,Pixel
Only one cam against 2 of LG G5 or others 2016/2017 flagships
What do you think? Thanks for your help
I am seeking new phone....
HTC 10 , LG G5 & V20 , S7 & S7 Edge , Xperia XZ
Mate 9 , Mi Note 2 , Axon 7 , etc.
but I think I will stay with my angler for a while. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
(May be I would buy 2nd hand Pixel XL next year.)
I'm a Nexus 6p owner, the battery life isn't as amazing as you describe, and the front camera is good but nothing special, if you choose it you shouldn't do it for these reasons but for instantly updates and modding
Inviato dal mio Pixel XL utilizzando Tapatalk
I came from a lg v10 even tho they say all this ram and processor on the lg v10 it couldn't keep up like the Nexus 6p does.
Nexus 6p
Just bought my nexus 6p yesterday, at least I felt that camera,screen and in hand-feel sensation are better than the G5, also the speaker but it was really good on the G5 too, I hadnt tested battery life yet but only with having Nougat i feel the difference and Im very happy with him

Matters what good is. With lots of modding and sacraficing performance, I can get 4:30h. If you just use stock, you will be lucky getting 3h
I run stock rooted 7.1.1 use my phone a lot and get 5hrs + SOT so battery is great for me. It's all about the user and what apps they use how the brightness is set etc...My point is that some will say it's bad and others will say it's great.

i want to buy new phone after nexus 4 so should buy one plus 3 or nexus 6p and why
I have just literally sold my 1+3 for the Nexus 6p.
I had both for a short amount of time and the size, feel and amount of custom roms and stock played a significant factor in keeping the 6p.
I know the CPU is older and that spec wise it's an inferior device but there are little things that mean more to me than just specs, like the location of the fingerprint sensor on the back, it's 1440p panel, the larger battery and the speakers.
The price also mattered to me and I got my 6p for £210 compared to the Oneplus which I sold for £335, but that could be different for you.
If you're buying new then I would go for 1+3 - as it's better value for money in that respect
yeah i will buy new one
but the question is when will factor stop support your 1+3 or nexus 6p
who will live more and get support from developer
and the 1440p really its better than 1080p and stereo speaker make a huge different
I chose the 6P. The oneplus 3 was slightly cheaper but the 6P has all that was mentioned above.
Both these phones were in my top lists.
But I chose the nexus 6p for the screen size and type, potentially better battery, overall similar camera some say but probably better in the dark, much larger GB option (up to 128gb) and the dual speakers are fantastic for watching films.
Anyone upgrade to the Essential Phone from the OnePlus 3 or 3T? Now with the price drop, I am wondering if it is worth it? Could you provide Pros and Cons? Would you say the camera's are somewhat the same?
Also, I use T-Mobile. With the OnePlus 3T, LTE+, VoWiFi & VoLTE worked great without any programming. Is the Essential Phone the same?
I had a OnePlus 3T and am now using a white Essential. Biggest difference is in the form factor - Essential is smaller in the hand, sturdier, thicker and much heavier, with more unique materials. The lack of bezels give it a bigger screen and the higher res gives it a crisper look. The OS is very similar but you lose some of OnePlus' extras. I have not had any lag on either phone. I would say cameras are similar when using the google camera on the Essential but I have not done much testing yet. I am not on T-Mobile so can't comment but there are many threads here and reddit on people experiencing signal issues with various carriers. Works fine for me.
Bottom line is the upgrade (or maybe change - not sure it's really an upgrade) is worth it if you want a phone that feels premium and is different from the rest, and are happy with stock android. If you want a great camera and lots of OS extras it's not the one.
For what's it's worth I think the Essential Phone is a worthwhile upgrade if you are coming from just about any phone that is a year or so old.
Wait for the oneplus 5t and compare.

Totally worth it. I prefer AOSP to Oxygen OS. Plus the placement of the fingerprint scanner, to me, is odd. Essential has a way better built. Camera wise, I don't see any issue with Google ported HDR+ camera. I would use a DSLR or micro 4:3 anyway in low night or when travel.
Assuming (and we all are almost certain now) that the leaked images of pixel 3xl are right, and assuming the Chinese manufacturers who started making screen protectors and cases for the P3XL are accurate, i wanted to see how bad the notch could be in real life, and compare sizes with P2xl, so i bought one of the Chinese screen protectors for p3xl and started comparing it to my P2xl.
I can confidentially say that P3xl is 95% or more in size with P2xl, to a level that we can say ITS a P2xl with a screen stretched up around the notch..
You can see in the attached photos, putting the P3xl screen protector over the P2xl screen, the notch is as deep as the top bezel of P2xl, and the bottom bezel is almost identical in each..
Size is also identical, both phones have the same overall size (in screen protector photo over the back of P2xl)
Side bezels are more slimmer for my eyes..
Photos attached should clear everything out..
Thanks for clearing that i dont need to buy pixel 3 this year ?

What he said!!
This is definitely going to be a dud, sticking with the Pixel 2 XL.
My Pixel 3xl is looking more and more like a OnePlus 6t!
Versus the Pixel 2 XL:
-Most likely a very similar LG P-OLED display (but notched): Nothing groundbreaking
-Still 4GB of RAM: So don't expect less app reloads
-Snapdragon 845: Slightly faster than the Snapdragon 835 in real-life usage, probably not even noticeable in most scenarios
-Supports wireless charging: Cool feature but not exactly a game changer (Coming from a Galaxy S7 edge, I don't miss it)
-Smaller battery
The only question mark that remains is the camera: Will it be vastly superior to the already great Pixel 2 XL camera? I have a strange feeling the hardware (sensor, lenses, etc.) will be the same, with only a tweaked camera app (that will be ported for the Pixel 2 XL anyway)
The more I think about it, the more I struggle to understand why the Pixel 3 XL exists.
It exists for OG Pixel owners to upgrade to.

Usually people upgrade every 2 years. The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL may not be much better than the Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL since they're only a year old, but it's a pretty good upgrade from the original 2 year old Pixel or Pixel XL. Personally I can't wait to get a Pixel 3 XL. It will be a massive upgrade from my dying Nexus 6P.
People ***** and moan about the notch and chin, but I think the Pixel 3 XL is a fine looking device. I guess I'm like one of those parents who thinks their child is adorable even though it's ugly as sin...

Exactly - if you hide the notch via blacking out its "corners", the Pixel 3 XL will look decent - almost like the 2 XL. If there is no default option for this, I'm sure that there will be Substratum overlays to do so.
I won't upgrade my 2 XL this year, this is completely pointless. But if my contract would be due for a new device, I'd definitely get the 3 XL.
The Pixel 3 is simply not worth upgrading from the Pixel 2. We get the camera update, same amount of RAM, the only major change is the processor from 835 to 845. Definitely not worth the money, considering how fast depreciation ocurrs. Most of the High End devices, LGV40, Galaxy S9, Pixel 3, seem to be at a standstill when it comes to any significant upgrades from their successor. The. Previous versions are nearly identical, Qualcomm 835 vs 845 is minimal, camera improvements are insignificant, with possible exception to the LG V40s 5 camera system. Anyone upgrading to latest version from previous versions is wasting money.
