I actually like the design a whole lot. Sleek. Its a design that slowly grows on you and will look good for a long time.
+Austin Hughes Yeah,It's the best looking phone in my opinion.
I'm starting to like the new Marshmallow Update, it's not bad, and looking better than the previous one. I can't wait until they do the new Lumia reviews!
Yup :) excately my opinion
+kyle alves what phone do you have the 6p or 5x
bradd tate Oh, haha, I have the Lumia 640 Microsoft Handset; awaiting the Windows 10 Mobile update and the new continuum features, along with the portability of Android apps.
I know appearance can be very subjective, but I will have to disagree with Michael. I think the design looks really beautiful and solid
Yes me to it has definitely grown in Me over time and ivr heard from sources that the back of the phone actually had a slight soft touch to it
+mike vasquez It definitely does not. ^M
+Pocketnow I think it looks great! Good job Michael....love the vids! Keep 'em coming!
+Pocketnow Lolz
i agree with you its beautiful!
Seems a lot of people have an issue with the visor on top. I absolutely love the design of this phone.
the 6P was ahead of its time. look at the current Pixel design (6,7,8). the visor looks nice and distinctive from other current phones)
If anyone's looking for more detail on the Nexus 6P, especially with regard to Google Now on Tap and the all important battery life, our full review is now live at Pocketnow! pocketnow.com/2015/10/23/google-nexus-6p-review ^M
Whoa nice. It'd be even nicer if u can gift me a nexus 6p 😉
Will you do a review of the Meizu Pro 5 when it is available? That would be awesome
+Pocketnow
What the Nexus moto should be!
Nexus, shmexus!
Is this phone available on T Movile ???
+Pocketnow Subjectively to me 6p looks good but the visor is very ugly. Got a dbrand carbon fiber skin as my solution and it looks great. Also less slippery. If the 6p use MateS design and form factor (smaller) it'd be perfect. That said if that combo sells for $800+ (I think that's mateS pricing) I'd still stick with 6p for value.
I love the way Michael Fisher talks!
Watching this in 2017. This was my first Nexus phone and now I am rocking the Pixel XL. I adore Google phones, but this one holds a special place in my heart.
My battery was faulty but it held it up until 2018 incredibly
REVIEW Of The KING!
+Ez Vintage™ l DN Vintage™ The king being Michael Fisher...
+Tomer Koren The king OF THIS CHANNEL being Michael Fisher...
+john doe noice Doctor Who reference :]
The king of review
"I'm Michael Fisher with Pocketnow.."
the nostalgia
You guys provide the absolute best reviews of smartphones!!!
So the 6P can both last a whole day no problem AND charge another phone? Is this a phone or a power pack dressed as a phone?
+MrBlitz We only rigged it up for about 30 seconds for that specific shot. Our battery usage figures don't take into account charging other devices. (And a special thanks to MKBHD for tipping us off to that functionality!) ^M
+Pocketnow Gotcha! It's interesting nonetheless to see a smartphone charging another smartphone... it's like a car giving another car a jumpstart. Hopefully this becomes possible in future smartphones. :P
+MrBlitz Many Huawei phones this year have had this feature (P8, Mate S, Honor 6+, Honor 7 and maybe others) using a USB On-The-Go lead. I used it once, to try it, and doubt I'll use it again - and will probably forget anyway!
+MrBlitz most of the huawei and honor phones have this feature already ....
+Pocketnow you guys should team up and change pocketnow to pocketnowHD:)
I have been using my Nexus 6P Aluminum with 32GB on board and i haven't regretted a second of it since i started using it. I got it the first week of February. the Pure Android experience is amazing.
What about the GB? Do you think it's enough? I can't decide if I should go for 32 or 64 but I'm more drawn towards 32,bdcausw there's cloud storage and stuff
+Matciej because* :P
Matciej I went with 32GB and it's good. I don't know what you're music library is like.
+Michael G I mostly use Spotify, which doesn't take much space. Google photos also has unlimited cloud storage for the photos so that's also a plus. And I don't play many games too. I think I'll be fine with a 32GB :P
Fisher's reviews were just iconic
What's so bad about eating grass? Cows do it
+Tech Defender by far the best comment!
+Tech Defender Dogs tend to over eat grass/shrubs when they are unwell.
My dog eat rocks when his bored.
+Cosmosit we? are you a dog?
+Vikas Acharya My dog always eats grass 24/7
I still can't find any excuse to stop using my nexus 5 2013.
***** not after the marshmallow update, it tripled for me.
Replace a new battery, boom new phone.
i still use my nexus 4 :D
I am still on N5 as well, but I am in need of a better camera. it's OK, but new cameras are so much better I want it too!
+Sidharth Satheesh same, although i am really looking forward to own a dual sim with OIS and fingerprint scanner
Best Reviewer Of PocketNow
Since Day One
👌👌👌👌👌👌
As usual, you did a great job on this phone review! Was just in Shelburne Falls taking pics of the foliage. Keep up the good work Mike!
The Snapdragon 810 is the 2.1 version so the heating issues have been addressed, know the updates
+Emilio Hidalgo Nope. The "2.1 version" is the same 810 that's been shipping in phones since March. pocketnow.com/2015/07/15/snapdragon-810-v2-1-2 ^M
+vito fiore If there's anything the Nexus 6P proves, it's that we should no longer be afraid of the 810 boogeyman. (Of course, that's what we've been saying for a while: pocketnow.com/2015/07/21/oneplus-two-snapdragon-810) ^M
+vito fiore the update is rolling out this week
This is probably the best smartphone video review I've ever seen. Period. Fantastic job.
I was hanging between OP2 and Moto X but 6P made it clear for me 😊
+Allen Tom Yeah while it may not be the king of all phones it is definitely the King of Android
I always look forward to Michael's reviews of products. Partly because he gives his viewers a visual guide of my fair city of Boston, but mostly for his thorough information on products.
That off centered camera lens annoys me :P
Yeah, it erks me as well. :)
+Anthony Griffin I think it looks like a bar code scanner from the back, not liking it at all.
+Anthony Griffin Than a lot of phones must annoy you.
+Anthony Griffin I used to not like the visor either but the whole phone is so beautiful and especially in that color.
Center cameras annoy me most.
I'm glad Pocketnow has been growing so fast recently.
They deserve it, all the staff on their team do such a great job. But particularly Michael, Jaime and Stephen.
They are so good at what they do from the daily updates to the weekly podcast.
Thanks Pocketnow for another great review. Can't wait to pick up a 6P.
A nexus with a good camera! FINALLY! Sold.
Michael as always a fantastic review. Absolutely agree with you on all points. Picked up my 128 GB version few weeks ago. My 1st Nexus and I'll never go back.
I don't get how people don't think this phone is beautiful.
+Nicholas Montalvo people who likes more rugged design than sleek like iphone. i love the look of droid turbo. and love this one too
I don't. I just don't. I don't think it's ugly, but the visor just doesn't look that good, and the rest of the back is a bit plain for my tastes. but that's just my opinion
I honestly think it would have looked amazing with out that damn visor lol
+Nicholas Montalvo Idk I used to not like the phone because of the visor but every time I see it, the phone becomes more appealing, especially in black, with that beautiful, smooth slim metal body.
Mr. Mxyzptlk yeah, its crazy how subjective the looks of this thing is
The most comprehensive review around! Great job Michael.
The black 6P looks sexy!
Definitely getting the black one.
I love how this video was edited. Really nice transitions and what not. Good job as always :D
I've been an iPhone user for 7 years now, but this phone made me switch to Android
Same
***** No regrets whatsoever, I don't miss the iPhone at all and I don't think I will ever switch back to it. Android is so much better, especially the stock version which comes with Nexus phones. Get the 6P.
I gave up my iPhone 6s for it and I do love my iPhone 6s.. But nexus is better
It's a lovely phone.
The best Nexus yet. The Huawei's stocks have just risen after this review. Only, if it was a smaller phone. Why manufacturers believe that everyone needs 5.5-5.7" displays???
ikr..I think 5-5.2 is the sweet spot
+TechLineHD Well that's subjective. I actually prefer 5.5-5.7" displays. Not to say that I wouldn't want a smaller phone so long as it is looks good and functions well. But generally speaking, I'd prefer larger screens
+Rahul Dhruve yeah, it's subjective and I am being subjective here :) However, I am a bit tired of the large screen phones (OnePlus 2, ZTE Axon, Letv Le 1 Pro, Meizu MX5), so I went with the Galaxy S6 Edge. I wear skinny jeans, you know :D
ashraf danial u'd hate the phones today
Nexus 6P v Samsung Note 8
Michael Fisher could review a tube of toothpaste and I would still watch it.
Man...I was waiting for this review... Fisher's reviews are always gorgeous!! And it worth the wait. Nexus 6P will be my next smartphone. Thanks!
my heart skipped a beat. i thought he'll drop the phone. don't do that again please..
I must add, this is probably one of the best reviews I've seen Fisher do. I think I'm settled on which phone do I want next now.
Almost perfect for me... I hope it has that dual window features like in TouchWiz
you can activate it..by tinkering a bit
+Vimanyu Devgan how is that?
Look it up you need to edit the build.prop a bit..but its entirely possible... It's an experimental feature of marshmellow
+Vimanyu Devgan not doing that to a new 500$ phone...except Google doing that themselves
It's really not that difficult... Plus a nexus is meant to be tweaked...the development on nexus phones is crazy...anyways to each his own
I was literally getting chills at the end from the way you were describing the phone
brilliant review!
I can't believe you guys didn't find it beautiful. The back is the most stunning I've ver seen, thought the front could use a little bit of work. Smaller bezels or at least rounder ones would have made it absolutely perfect, though they probably wanted it to look different from the Nexus 6, which would explain this more angular design.
8 hours on mobile hotspot? Damn my nexus 6p on the nougat update barely lasts 3 hours. I miss the marshmallow version. :-(
Pocketnow commentaries are exceptionally well crafted .Excellent delivery
Nexus 6P costs 650€ in Europe so not really compelling
Months later, and with a lot of new devices out, still really love my 6p. I just kind of wish I sprung for a nicer color than the aluminum and a higher storage than base. But otherwise its my favorite phone out (though barely with lots of newer devices out)
Compare it to the Note 5 plz guys.
In my opinion the iPhone 6s Plus and the nexus 6p are the best phones you can own today. I have pretty much zero complaints with my plus and every review of the 6p has me so excited. Counting down the days til mine finally ships!
"Fucking Gin Blossoms" my thoughts exactly
is that jealousy I'm detecting?
no, it was just a _curious thing_ to see. maybe its a sign _the end of the world_ will be here _someday soon_...
Lol missed the joke buddy
no bud, didnt think i needed to add italics to the comment :)
altern8ive oh! Ha! I only knew one from them
Informative review.
On a side note, Pocketnow reviews always remind of how much I don't miss living in Boston.
Z5 Premium should be better then 6P imo for including micro sd with currently up to 200gb cards(!) , 4k for videos and photos, MUCH better design, ip68, better battery life due to sony's special optimizations and 1080p in most modes, noise cancellation earphones, fm radio built in, slightly more compact dimensions. The camera should be slightly better as well. 6p advantage is only in faster android updates the way i see it.
+Amir Amran This almost convinced me to pick the Z5 from the two. Can you also assure me that the Z5 won't be too slippery, and if dropped it won't leave ugly scratch marks, because it is built from glass? That might be my only concern with that phone, otherwise it is nearly a perfect package.
Temesvári Hunor Well, lets assume that z5p is as slippery as 6p, now, you get more and better with z5 premium (from spec, impressions and hands on), so what do you have to loose with z5p? i am most likely preordering z5p after watching a few reviews, i suggest you to do the same. If you are concerned about dropping the phone, any phone, you should get a folder case and use the phone bare when you know it has less chance to drop, or, you can use a case and still show the design - like using front and back tempered glass, front tg+spigen ultra hubrid transparent case or front tg+spigen liquid crystal case. I'm most likely getting a high quality ultra thin leather folder case as default case and after some time i will buy front and back tg or ftg+transparent case.
ah design is subject. IMO Sony phones are ...not ugly but just too plain. I don't know why you mentioned 4k video since the 6p records in 4k. By the looks of the the 6p battery will be on par with z5. Only advantage of z5 is ip68 and micro SD. For almost double the cost...is it really worth it? You could get a 128gb nexus 6p for less than the cost of the base z5.
+vijay dacosta Design taste is taste. To me, the z5p seamless design is really good and superior by far. I meant that z5p has a 4k display (for playing videos and photos only, for rest it is 1080p which means, optimal battery life while still having 4k res for videos and photos if you wish). If you don't want or need what z5p has to offer (z5p has more then what you mentioned) and budget is very important to you then 6p is a definitely a good option imo.
Amir Amran honestly I just think any phone over 500 usd is over priced. Hence I didn't get the nexus 6.
This is the first phone in a while that meets all five of my most important parts of a phone.
-Beautiful display
-Stereo speakers
-Long lasting battery
-Excellent camera
-Great software
Bravo Huawei and Google.
Huawei knows how to design a phone.
It's that time of year again, still using my Nexus 5 :D Great Review Michael!
what is the music app used?
spotify
Jmad0113 oh okay thank you
***** Are you aware not everybody uses Spotify? Clearly you are too dense to grasp that concept even halfway. If you're so surprised that somebody wasn't familiar with a certain app that you have to question ones mental stability, I think you might be the one with a bit of an issue.
***** i'm calling the cops
***** ur going to youtube jail
The design is definitely unique, and I personally think it's gorgeous. I love the aesthetics of it. I ordered one yesterday, can't wait for it to get here!
Great review but the phone is meh.
I think the excitement from phones is over for me. bigger screen, better CPU, who cares anymore?
The G2 from 3 years ago can still do anything a non gamer needs. The era of the cellphones is over. they are like laptops now. basic commodity.
The meaningful upgrades are in the software. I have a G2, it games just fine, the screen and camera are still good compared to new phones, it's the software that makes it feel old. Either way I still want better specs. And idk about you but I'm excited for the surface pro and surface book.
Lex Francis
We all could use better specs and newer OS version but 3 years ago the software and hardware differences were huge and critical. Now they are fun and nice to have at best at least in my opinion.
+Ran Bar-Levi not being excited doesn't equate to phone is un-interesitng
*****
it's my job to be informed. does not mean I have to get excited over it.
+Ran Bar-Levi G2 1080p screen but with this it's a 1440p screen.better cpu is help.
Hands down, this guy is the best reviewer of UA-cam.
I wish I could refund my iPhone 6s
EBay. or craigalist. phones sell for a bunch on those sites, especially unlocked. And since the nexus is cheaper you should have no problem getting enough money for one.
***** yh but I bought my iPhone on contract :/
+Barish K I believe you can still sell it depending on the company. but you'll still need to pay it off little by little.
Trade it in.
+TeamCaptainAmerica I don't like iPhones, but they are the fastest of any phone, hands down
"Really good camera"
Love that this can finally said about a Nexus!
it's better than nexus 6
+Imran Haque Duh
+Imran Haque no shit
+Imran Haque obviusly, 1 year later.
+Imran Haque and i am not on steroids. good job sherlock
Oh my God and I thought that Obama was the US President
You guys can maybe enable the sRGB mode in developer options to make the color more accurate and fix the bluish white.
The default profile probably pushes the AMOLED panel as far as it goes, namely very saturated colors but not very accurate.
Not buying this for 650€.
You think you're hard done by. This costs $1,100 in my country.
+Jack Mckay Brazil ?
+The Jeff hahahahah Brazil? It's not even available here yet! and when it comes, will probably hit R$3.500,00
+The Jeff I'll have to import it, oh no, but wait, the dollar costs R$4,00! Brazilian's government are just a joke!
guindosshow R$4,00 translates to how much dollars ?
6P vs Note 5 will be the best comparison of all time to date. I CANNOT WAIT
Google stole Motorola features, ambient display, front speakers, button power on off, Motorola logo position.
google bought Motorola a few years ago and then sold it also the nexus 6 was made by motoro
+MJCProductions Motorola
+Fer Gusman Google owns most of Motorola's patents, it's not stolen.
+Fer Gusman Who cares??
***** to me.
Amazing review Mr Fisher as always. This will be my upgrade to the Galaxy S5 as soon as the 6P hits Australia.
Can somebody buy me this beaty ? No money in my poor Ukraine :((((
:)
***** yolo :D
Саша Фурів Alright ^_^. Putin comes first though
holy crap fisher i knew i was thinking about getting this phone before but your review just made this a guaranteed buy great review!
Not worth it. And too much money. Wrap your head around this...I got a working drive-able vehicle...a whole freaking vehicle for less money.
+Patrick King (Patrick D. King) Tell that to iPhone users
Shaun Mahony
Especially iphone users. To be fair, it's not really just this phone. It's all phones around $500 or more.
This costs less than some flagships (i.e. Apple, LG, Samsung)
Woo @7:38 mikes restaurant has some pretty darn good pizza!
Funny to see your photo shots in this review are actually around my area.
I have a Note 4, chosen a bit before the Note 5 release, but I really want this phone. For some reason it looks so gorgeous but in an understated handsome way.
God I can't for mine to arrive. Finally a Nexus that packs a lot of what we've been waiting for.
Michael Fisher. You have this awesome skill to make a phone review sound like a beautiful story :) great job. Keep digging tech!
Best 6P review I think I have seen yet! Can't wait to get one!
Great review. I always wait around to watch a video review from you guys. Thanks a lot for the info. When the phone is back in stock, ill buy one.
Michael Fisher is my favourite reviewer... Don't know why, but I always enjoy his reviews :D Sometimes I imagine doing reviews as well.. Don't know.. seems to be a really interesting job. Always trying something new.
the moto sounded amazing! I am waiting on my aluminum nexus 6p to arrive 👌
Awesome review, I seriously love the look of the 6P, it's something I would have gotten had there been a Micro SD slot, which is slowly becoming extinct. Also your voice reminds me of Jack Black lol
cant wait for my preorder to arrive, pure android with no carrier restrictions :)
+Pocketnow This one of the most awesome and most detailed review of Huawei Nexus 6P that I've seen so far.
looking forward to the next more detailed Review that you mentioned in the video, for sure.
Just one question, Can you tell me the name of the MUSIC Player that you guys showed in this video?
I will really appreciate the response.
Thank You.
I think they have done a great job regarding the design this time around
Best phone reviewer without a doubt! Thanks Mr. Fisher
Great review with none of the hype!!! Solid review that any consumer can understand!!
Best nexus phone Yet no doubt and best review I've seen so far, great work! is Mr. Fisher also making the 5X's??
The best review of the Nexus 6P yet!
I'm I'm thinking of giving up my note 5 for this. I forgot what features made me go WOW but man oh man this looks awesome
finally a real review but what about the slow motion camera recording?
Enjoyed this review, nice and thorough :) good job Mr Fisher!!
I feel as though now on tap was released earlier to let actual users experience and give reviews on the experience so they can make sure the next update will be way better than the past version
Full review? I thought this is the full review! *stoked*
Also love the Journey reference ; )
The full review refers to the written review on the Pocketnow
Oh haha 😁👍
+Chirag Atrey Boom: pocketnow.com/2015/10/23/google-nexus-6p-review ^M
Absolutely a top drawer review. My 2 thumbs up to the team.
It's fascinating how similar this is to Microsoft's Lumia 950XL. Can't wait to watch your review of that device. 😊
Another fantastic in-depth review, much appreciated!
what a great review, it was very thorough and covered every aspect that most consumers care about
That graphite color is beautiful..
Nice review! :)
can u compare the Nexus 6P to LG's G4 or/and Samsung's Galaxy S6?
I still love my nexus 6. The camera is great and battery life is fine.
Enjoyed the review all the way through. Thumbs up
I think it's beautiful..especially the back with the camera.
I honestly can't get over how good Android 6.0 looks. Google did a great job. Huawei also did well on this phone. I personally think it looks amazing
Great review as always C2Phones. A Nexus 6p vs Moto X Pure Edition would be nice.
Pocketnow, although there is a technical standpoint on better sound qualities, it all boils down to what you are used to listening to and what you want to hear.
OMG Michael censor that out "FUCKING GIN BLOSSOMS" at 5:23 lol I am just kidding, awesome review by the folks at pocketnow
It's the best looking Nexus Michael! Can't wait to buy this!
