just pre ordered this beaut in 64GB. that black bar is quite innovative being glass and housing the Camera, flash, laser focus, antennas, nfc.... you Get the idea.
+G. Ali no worries. I have a microsoft lumia 640xl and i am only 170cm tall. and I have no problems having the phone in my pocket. I think the nexus is even more compact
+James Turner They mention the iPhone a lot because it is the best seeking phone. Even Google referenced the iPhone many times. Because it is the industry leader. The Verge has people who like Apple, Google, and MS. I just think people are too sensitive when their preferences aren't favored by others.
Oh my Lauren Goode needs to do all the phone reviews for the Verge from now on. Fair, clear, and she didn't have to attack other products to get the point across.
This is the best Verge hands on I've watched for a long time. Fair, detailed, informative. Many of us are over the Android bashing and iPhone centric commentaries by some of the Verge guys that just come across as jaded and probably could do with a new job.
I'm actually super excited about the finger print scanner on the back, I have the first gen Nexus 6, and my finger actually rests on the dimple as I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket. I could totally see this being amazing, the phone will be unlocked by the time I look at the screen!
WAIT STOP RIGHT THERE! Did the Verge just give a non-biased, nicely spoken, no mention of apple, good review on a android phone! HOLY CRAP VERGE GIVE THIS WOMAN A PAY RISE!
Really nice hands-on! I don't really like girls on tech videos, but this reviewer is really awesome. Looks like she actually KNOWS what she is saying. Nice job.
I'm debating cancelling my 5X preorder and switching to the 6P. Only thing I don't like about the 6P is the size, I really wish it was same size as the 5X. What do you guys think?
I'm actually baffled, impressed and confused at the fact that there was not a single mention of the iPhone in this Hands-On!? Had to watch it twice to make sure I wasn't missing it. Does this reviewer know she's working for The Verge? I'm impressed.
Really, really liked this quick look at this device. Fairly pleasant and positive about pros instead of bashing it because it's not an iPhone. Please do more reviews!
I'll agree with others here Lauren is a real reviewer (yeah this isn't a review but the style used in a first look or review can be the same). great addition to the Verge.
wow!!! she is a wonderful reviewer!!! I like her style and a perfect hands on video!!! would love to see more videos of her especially for Android and Nexus!!
nexus 6p got my attention. I still have my OPO, this phone might be my upgrade. the physical look of it got me, I really love the sleek looking metal body. plus its pure android, fingerprint, and camera is awesome. Most importantly, battery is huge. the OPO battery is amazing, im down to 40% at the end of a full day of use. now the 6p has a bigger battery which is mint
This phone looks awesome, but what's holding me back from buying it is not having OIS in the camera. For Google to be touting camera prowess, this seems weird. I guess I'll have to wait for reviews to come in about camera quality.
I can confidently say google got it right this year.. everything about this phone is spot on.. there build quality, promising camera, size, display, but the two most important things is the battery at 3450 mah and starting price at 500$ for everything you get is just awesome.. a phone with these specs from any other manufacturer is north of 700 easily.. I'll be upgrading to the 64 gb version of this... google cheers to you guys.. this in my opinion is the best phone all around so far this year
I wonder if they didn't think about the possibility that instead of making the camera pop like, they could had made the back even and adding a little bit more of battery. Sure, the phone would be a little bit heavier and thicker, but I think it's a great - and small - trade off. The phone would look better and what are a few grams if that can get you a few more minutes of battery life?
Thinking from a different perspective, if a case maker do a nice job on this phone, it could very well make the phone even on the back by letting the camera more on the same level as the case, instead of putting the camera in a hole like it happens with most cases.
Everybody seems to focus a lot on the "protruding" back of the 6P yet very few seem to mention the horrible camera hump of the 5X. Maybe it's just me but the 6P camera looks way way better.
I really like this reviewer. She takes the right time and it's not ultra speedy like others in The Verge. Keep up the good work Lauren.
+Marco Spinaci she is my favourite video-reviewer lately. Good job, Lauren!
yeah, She was perfect
+Marco Spinaci plus she didn't mention the iPhone at all!
+Marco Spinaci +1
+JBroMCMXCI You'll have to grow one first.
the best 2 minutes and 38 seconds review
good job,miss Verge!
2 min 39 seconds #awwsnap 😜
True that xD
UA-cam Commenter on Android it adds a sec 😑
just pre ordered this beaut in 64GB. that black bar is quite innovative being glass and housing the Camera, flash, laser focus, antennas, nfc.... you Get the idea.
+G. Ali enjoy man! it a very good looking device :D
+jerrel feller thanks man! just hope it's not too tall for my pockets. ha my only concern
+G. Ali no worries. I have a microsoft lumia 640xl and i am only 170cm tall. and I have no problems having the phone in my pocket. I think the nexus is even more compact
Jaco Rossouw I agree! All phones are becoming boring from the back. This is different !
Nice one mate.
A verge hands on of a mobile device without a single mention of apple. Color me impressed
+Ziich Because its Lauren. She's one of the good ones at The Verge.
+Ziich Because The Verge aren't fanboys as many Andriod fans would like to think.
+Ziich Plus I half expected them to accidentally review the original Nexus 6.
+James Turner They mention the iPhone a lot because it is the best seeking phone. Even Google referenced the iPhone many times. Because it is the industry leader.
The Verge has people who like Apple, Google, and MS. I just think people are too sensitive when their preferences aren't favored by others.
+James Turner I understand your point. I disagree but respect it.
she's a better reviewer than all the other dudes at Verge ....keep her
I really like that camera bump, gives the phone a nice, different look.
I like this reviewer. Nice style.
Who doesn't :)
yeah, me too 👍
+Trevor Beckett I wouldn't call this a review, but yeah I agree
+Trevor Beckett Yeah she's calming
agreed ....she has a nice voice too
Oh my Lauren Goode needs to do all the phone reviews for the Verge from now on. Fair, clear, and she didn't have to attack other products to get the point across.
Let her do the full review as well.
Looks like the One M8 and iPhone 6 had a baby.
+Dominic London nothing wrong with that :D
Thomas Brasser Pretty good looking baby if you ask me.
+Dominic London Im glad Im not the only one who thinks that
+Dominic London It's underage dude, don't wanna be a Subway Jared. Wait the next month out. LOL
+Dominic London Cute baby! :)

Finally, a really good reviewer on The Verge after a long, long time!
Finally, a hands-on that doesn't feel like it wasn't rushed. VERY good.
Finally, a relaxed reviewer from The Verge. Good job!
Love this design, I want to see more about the camera and the speed test
Lauren doesn't sounds like an Apple fan girl, I liked her!
WAIT STOP RIGHT THERE! Did the Verge just give a non-biased, nicely spoken, no mention of apple, good review on a android phone!
HOLY CRAP VERGE GIVE THIS WOMAN A PAY RISE!
Really nice hands-on! I don't really like girls on tech videos, but this reviewer is really awesome. Looks like she actually KNOWS what she is saying. Nice job.
+Gustavo de Caires Anhaia youre not better
I'm debating cancelling my 5X preorder and switching to the 6P. Only thing I don't like about the 6P is the size, I really wish it was same size as the 5X. What do you guys think?
I think this is the best looking Nexus phone ever. Good job Huawei.

one of the best hands on reviews by a verge reviewer
this is a good quick review. Kudos to the reviewer. Other Verge reviewers take notes...
she's truly amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing more the verge videos of her
Great hands-on. Informative and time efficient.
Former Android user, current iPhone 6 user, and now I'm thinking of going back to Android for the 6P. This thing looks awesome.
Congrats on not using the word "iPhone" throughout the entire video! Good review too!
What a gorgeous phone, I hated the leaks, but now I'm in love.
THIS IS THE ONE.
hope everyone will think like that so it will drop the price for me :D it's gorgeous
If you are in the US send me one :D
+Enrico Maria Dal Compare LOL. I agree as well!
Should I get the 6P or the G4? I dont care about the camera much but I just need a reliable phone.
excellent quick hands on Lauren
Finally a Verge review that actually cares about android. Love the enthusiasm and professionalism.
I'll agree with others here Lauren is a real reviewer (yeah this isn't a review but the style used in a first look or review can be the same). great addition to the Verge.
I almost not wanting to watch the Verge video about Google products, bc they usually show bias reviews and previews, I glad this woman preview it now.
Don't want to sound harsh but I liked this hands-on better than the one made by Dieter on the 5X. Thanks Lauren!
Does the 6P have an SD Card slot? Either this or the xperia Z5 for me
I think the camera bump isn't a big issue as it won't rock back and forth on the tabel.
Does this phone have Motion Launch guestures (or double tap to wake depending on what phone you have)?
Nick Dreikausen Ok good. With a screen that big I'll need it
hey does anyone know if i can buy this phone in the US and use it in Chile, where my GSM/4EDGE band is 1900? thanks
well I want to know is the phone out already in the United States and when can I purchase it and what carrier carry it
Goggle store
Can you list all of the supported bands?
wow her voice and the way she explained... can she do ALL the reviews from now on??
is the full metal construction why wireless charging isn't included?
Would be weird to have wireless charging and fingerprint sensor on the back at the same time.
Not really you can't unlock the phone with finger print scanner while lying flat anyway?
That's the point. They would have to move the sensor to the front.
Prime Tambayong no I mean anyway?
wow!!! she is a wonderful reviewer!!! I like her style and a perfect hands on video!!! would love to see more videos of her especially for Android and Nexus!!
Finally, a GOOD Verge employee!
I have a Note 4, is this an upgrade? What does everyone think?
God it's gorgeous. If I didn't have a year left on my iPhone 6 contract I'd pick this thing up so fast
nexus 6p got my attention. I still have my OPO, this phone might be my upgrade. the physical look of it got me, I really love the sleek looking metal body. plus its pure android, fingerprint, and camera is awesome. Most importantly, battery is huge. the OPO battery is amazing, im down to 40% at the end of a full day of use. now the 6p has a bigger battery which is mint
Nice reviewer, perfect timing of the things, Wow! GJ!

I'll be upgrading to the 64 gb version of this... google cheers to you guys.. this in my opinion is the best phone all around so far this year
it looks awesome but also huge! cant wait to see a comparison
Wish they would have made the whole phone as thick as the camera bump and made the battery bigger
Please bring a 4.7" version with 1080p screen and same specs - pretty please...please na
I wonder if they didn't think about the possibility that instead of making the camera pop like, they could had made the back even and adding a little bit more of battery.

1st Android video I've liked from The Verge. Seems they might be listening to us.
please compare these two Moto x pure edition/style 2015 Camera VS Nexus 6P Camera
Google finally fixed the shutter lag in their camera app :D
No expandable storage?
Moto x pure or nexus 6p? Cant decideee
Her hands are tiny.
I like that.
That was the joke bro.
so was mine... bro
+Dave Dean (Trouserdeagle) it means tight vagina :)
NEIK91 well damn! ok lol
Probably just as well, since I have such a small dick.
does anyone know what wqxd is? why not just say the resolution...
is there a micro sd card slot?
I liked the reviewer in this video; she has great pace and a nice voice. The Verge should have her cover more events.
Does this have wireless charging?
I just ordered my Nexus 6P Frost (128GB with Nexus Protect)!
im really liking this "budget phone" trend
I love the design of this phone!
listen to the people +theverge .They have spoken.THIS is how you review a phone.Good job,Lauren.
P.S Awesome Phone!!!!!!!
Let her do the review. I feel like she will give a very fair review without the obvious apple bias.
Any verge employee talked secretly with a google employee about when is (''rumored``) the rest of europe going to be able to buy it?
The camera area reminds me of the Motorola Droid X. First thing I thought of from the leaks of this phone!
8MP front? Wow. Also, great hands-on.
Does it work on Verizon?
Everybody seems to focus a lot on the "protruding" back of the 6P yet very few seem to mention the horrible camera hump of the 5X. Maybe it's just me but the 6P camera looks way way better.
are your hands tiny ? or is it massive ?
+Rick Jagger It is both. The 6P is the size of the Note 5, but her hands make it look giant.
Did anyone get an email confirmation after preordering?
Great overview. More of this woman!
did they just copy and paste touch id? just look how similar is
yes very nice they just keep getting better and better.
can we admire how nice her hands are.
Lauren Goode and Nexus 6P both looks gorgeous ;)
Wow Huawei Nexus 6P and LG Nexus 5X!
I wonder how the 6P stacks up against the LG G4.
If this was 5.2" would have bought in heartbeat. Ill stick with my S6 for now.
She makes that phone look HUGE!
can apple watch 2gen work with this phone
***** That would be a perfect match
***** I just don't like the andriod watches except the asus zen watch 2 with the gold wristband
No, once you buy Apple you're locked in, or start over.
This phone actually looks really good
Longer battery life? Doubt it. Just switched to Moto X Pure from an Iphone 6 Plus and the battery life is terrible.
Does it have an SD slot?
+Nelo M Nexus= No Micro SD.
booo, looks like every one is moving away from having micro sd
She makes the phone look HUGE compared to MKBHD; I guess it's just differing hand size?
From now on, I want this girl to review all Android phones. She was really good, and cute, too ;)
that camera hump isn't looking as bad as I thought.
Like to see the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL before making a decision
can someone please check if there is any spyware implanted in the phone?
Better than the one who reviews the nexus 5x.
This girl is good. Thanks a lot.
Why the hell did they put the fingerprint sensor on the back ? This is the reason I never bought LG, it just looks awkward on the back.
+Raidom It´s not LG.
Rodrigo Villarreal I know, but that's also the reason I never bought LG.
Is your index finger on the back of your phone right now?
Where's the the new Chromecast and Chromecast Audio hands-on?
