Josh holds the crown when it comes to reviews at AA. Huawei is going to be a heavy hitter in the US very soon and HTC is going to fizzle out. The more I see the Nexus 6P it becomes more and more beautiful; the design is clean, subtle and elegant. It may not be the most feature packed phone out there, but in my opinion it is the best phone of 2015.
+mikecantreed Note 5 has S pen and wireless charging. 6p has dual front facing speakers, USB type C, quick updates and a better battery. I prefer the 6p.
+aman ahuja Well Type-C is more of a disadvantage for now. It'll be somewhat around a year or so, when everybody jumps on it and the accessories, hubs, cables and stuff goes cheap. For me, selling point is this: It's a nexus. Nothing is an android device except for nexus. I'd take Nexus 5(the old one) over note 5 anyday. Unfortunately I'm stuck with my piece of shxt Galaxy S3, which I kinda keep alive by flashing unofficial ROMs. Can't wait till I can get my hands on 5x or 6p.
+D13H4RD2L1V3 I can't tell if I really like the N5X. I need to see it in person. Also, you only get 16GB which is too low for me and I'd have to pay almost 450 to get 32GB and no SD expansion. At that price I might as well get the 6P.
Annnd on this day, as i watch this video, my order status for the 6p changed from "preordered" to "processing". thank you for the content android authority and josh.
The Best Features - 1. Front Facing Dual Speakers 2. Battery (4 hours and 30 Mins. of Screen On Time) Combined with the new feature DOZE 3. Top Notch 5.7 inch AMOLED QHD Display 4. Pure Android (Latest and Greatest Android 6.0) 5. Improved Camera . . And the list goes on. Thank you for your review, have always followed you here! Nexus 6p - worth the wait.. Great Job Huwawei!
Josh is the only guy I ever listen to and truly trust in regards to phone reviews. Most professional and to-the-point reviewer on UA-cam. Thanks, Josh.
+cowboysfanzz77 That's one reason why I prefer Sony! STAMINA does basicly the same thing for a long time alredy. And that as soon as the screen goes of. But most of all, also in your pocket! It does not have to lie still.
Yeah. Was kind of disappointed to hear that it only works in that situation. Kinda pointless. Only time my phone isn't in my pocket it is at night when it's charging..
midicronica1 Indeed! That's also why I'm a bit cocerned what I red about Doze. About what OEM's will be allowed to do in terms of power saving. I would hate it, if I would lose STAMINA over this!
it's ANDROID. basically you can do everything. greenify now can help you enter doze as soon as the screen goes off and it doesn't require Root. just one click if you'd like you phone to doze.
*"It might be a pretty penny but at least you're getting a pretty great experience in a properly premium pretty body."* -- try saying that 3x fast lol 11:06
The Nexus line has always been the reason for me stay with Android. Now that they've become unaffordable in my country I honestly don't know what to do.
Wait... That's the reason you're with Android? Where else would you go? iOS? Pretty sure that's even less affordable. The OPO is still a very viable option in 2015.
I bought Nexus 6P 32GB Aluminum. After using for a few days I noticed a tiny crack on the bottom far left of the screen. It should be noted, I had not dropped the device or abused it in any way. That crack slowly became a large crack across the display. I'm truly disappointed with Huawei Nexus 6P quality. I contacted Huawei but never got a response. I recommend people interested in this device think again and avoid it like a plague.
Fantastic review, Joshua. This is probably one of your best videos. Here's an idea though, review Windows products, please. We, as consumers need more objective reviewers like you. Anyway, keep up the good work.
the bad cameras on prior Nexus phones held me back from getting one, I might ditch my LG G3 to get a Nexus 6p but the size of the phone is a concern for me
The bezels are so big though.. seems like a wonderful phone but I'm absolutely satisfied with my Moto X Pure. Android is doing great things lately - awesome review!
I have to say I just bought the Nexus 6p and it is probably the best phone I have ever had. How strong the phone feels is incredible. The Nexus 6p is lighting fast and is a all around good phone for anyone thinking about buying it go for it!!!!
What a great review ! They cover all the technical aspects of this device ! Best video shots too ! That's a good marketing should be used for all OEM's ! That's why I brought this device. Thank you mobile reviewers ! Good job !
Hey android authority! You should consider doing these videos in 60fps. Even if the camera you record yourselves is 30fps, You should use a 60fps shooter for recording the cellphone, since in the clips where you use the phones, they seem laggy, but this is just product of a 30fps recording (When smartphone screens buffer at 60hz)
I'm enjoying almost all features of Marshmallow on my latest CyanogenMod nightly, still have vertical app tray, latest 4 apps used in top line n getting 4-4.5hrs with my Oppo find 7a loaded with CM 12.1 nightly what am I missing here?
I enjoy your reviews & I've viewed a lot of your reviews. There's one thing that I want to ask. I've never seen you ever satisfied with any phone's camera. What is it actually that you expect from a phone camera?
this is by far the best Android device ever. I never tried an Nexus device before and I'm very happy, no carrier bloat ware, pure Android is the way to go.
Problem is only with the design behind, extra portion for camera makes it weird, in case of mishandling I think the backside glass might break, don't know what other users are thinking, but overall it's one of the best :) , will be grateful if someone gives a reply about that :)
Joshua is my favorite AA reviewer. Although I'm still trying to figure out if he's Asian or hispanic or neither, i like to be on edge so I rather not know.
I wanted to buy this but its overall size is huge and instead opted for my favorite Samsung! The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is beautiful and amazing! I like the way Android is going and even the OEMs are doing well! Touchwiz isn't bad anymore and All is Good in the Android World! ❤ Android Lollipop was a Revolution!
My dream phone (possible to make now) would have Samsung's display (size and res.)and performance on the Note 5, Lg's camera on the G4, Huawei's fingerprint sensor, a massive battery (with quick charge) with fantastic battery life, be waterproof and expandable storage. Google, PLEASE get all of these companies together and make the ultimate phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome review. Had to watch it twice. It's too bad that I realized recently the only thing making me want to upgrade my one m8 was the camera... so I bought a camera :)
I have this review of the nexus 6p. and thanks for your review... iam the market for an updated android is device.I believe in justisfaction of the price point and after watching this review iam sold. great thanks.
I have a Nexus 5 and I'm pretty happy with it to be honest, but the Nexus 6P is tempting, especially the 128GB model. It's a shame Google decided to screw over customers outside the U.S with the exchange rates and pricing. I'm going to wait for the iFixit repairability score before I decide on anything proper though.
I'm not sure why everyone keeps talking about the "new" app drawer that scrolls down. This is not a Marshmallow feature, I've had it on my 2012 Nexus 7 running Kit Kat for over a month.
Josh holds the crown when it comes to reviews at AA. Huawei is going to be a heavy hitter in the US very soon and HTC is going to fizzle out. The more I see the Nexus 6P it becomes more and more beautiful; the design is clean, subtle and elegant. It may not be the most feature packed phone out there, but in my opinion it is the best phone of 2015.
I Agree bro........
Why do you think it's better than the Note 5?
+mikecantreed Note 5 has S pen and wireless charging.
6p has dual front facing speakers, USB type C, quick updates and a better battery. I prefer the 6p.
+aman ahuja Well Type-C is more of a disadvantage for now. It'll be somewhat around a year or so, when everybody jumps on it and the accessories, hubs, cables and stuff goes cheap. For me, selling point is this: It's a nexus. Nothing is an android device except for nexus. I'd take Nexus 5(the old one) over note 5 anyday. Unfortunately I'm stuck with my piece of shxt Galaxy S3, which I kinda keep alive by flashing unofficial ROMs. Can't wait till I can get my hands on 5x or 6p.
+mikecantreed cz Android Authority has rated 8.7 for Note 5 and for 6P 9.0
I feel bad for people in countries other than the US. The prices are insane!
I live in Cambodia, the price is dumb...
+Erik Michel Yeah, its almost $700 USD in my country. Might as well get an S6 with telco contract...
some countries are not even getting it
+Hattrick Heroes the glass back? no thanks. LG V10 is the way to go
+Hattrick Heroes 640 for 32GB and 670 for 64 GB in India.
I personally prefer the Nexus 5X, but Josh makes one of the very best phone reviews, period.
Nb Nb N5X? Probably. Want to give it a go.
+D13H4RD2L1V3 I can't tell if I really like the N5X. I need to see it in person. Also, you only get 16GB which is too low for me and I'd have to pay almost 450 to get 32GB and no SD expansion. At that price I might as well get the 6P.
+D13H4RD2L1V3 I would miss the screen and dual speakers tho.
+Mr. Mxyzptlk wish that was Australian dollars that would be a bargain.
+D13H4RD2L1V3 Wow so much nepgear fans.
Josh is probably the best reviewer in Android Authority.. His voice, pacing and style is the most professional and informative
Could not disagree more.
layin' the phone face front on the rock, nice!! lol
+DONEUEMF I was thinking the exact same thing. Lol.
+DONEUEMF So savage!
+DONEUEMF OMG I thought I was the only one.. I F*CKING HATE THAT.. It's like really, face down on concrete...
+Tennisman [ND] the Note 4 had GG4 and I had a few scratches on my screen just from having it in my pocket. Not sure how..
+Xavier Dyer same here, I have quite a few hair line scratches on mine, and that's just from wiping it down a lot, even with a microfiber cloth. :(
best reviewers. MKBHD senpai, michael fisher senpai, joshua-sama and lahn-sama
you forget jonathan morrison from TLD
Dave Kos It's a name given to people anime fucks look up too.
+Dave Kos senior
notice me senpai
+puffyheaven You forgot Flossy!
Annnd on this day, as i watch this video, my order status for the 6p changed from "preordered" to "processing". thank you for the content android authority and josh.
hey joshua , why r u so consistent....
Tasty
+Cowgers123 😂😂😂
+Cowgers123 Gah. What?
+ShMoney.03 he's a Droid..
David Thomas droid say what
This is the best 6P I've ever viewed, and trust me, I've seen a lot of them! Today I bought one, just waiting for it to arrive now. So happy!
I'm gonna buy this phone so HARD!!!!
+Sadiq Ahmed That didn't sound right lol
thats the spirit :V
+Sadiq Ahmed try the Samsung S6 Edge giveawy also
gleam.io/0FY4z/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-giveaway
being with android since 2008, this is the best android phone I've ever had the privilege to use
"Because we are your source, for all things, Android"
Mann.. the nostalgia every time he does that outro.
Awesome phone, but no expendable storage is kind of a deal breaker for me. Nonetheless, definitely the best Android phone on the market right now.
im looking towards the LG V10. LG is sticking with expandable memory, removable battery and a not shiny rubberized back. everything i wanted
The moto x pure and the z5 are also quite good
lakib adhikari I'm purchasing the Moto X Pure very soon. I am in Love with that phone.
+JayVan Geli ...except that it's running LGs UI
+Yesnier Merced me too, abolutely love it. If only it had a fingerprint sensor. It would be the best smartphone 2015 for me!
Anyone still here in 2019?!
2020
The Best Features -
1. Front Facing Dual Speakers
2. Battery (4 hours and 30 Mins. of Screen On Time) Combined with the new feature DOZE
3. Top Notch 5.7 inch AMOLED QHD Display
4. Pure Android (Latest and Greatest Android 6.0)
5. Improved Camera
.
.
And the list goes on.
Thank you for your review, have always followed you here!
Nexus 6p - worth the wait.. Great Job Huwawei!
The camera at the back makes it look unique and modern and beautiful. Would definitely buy this.
Nexus camera is better than the iPhone. I'm so happy. Great review. Waiting for my 6p ready to get off this iPhone 6.
I've been waiting for this review!
TY Josh :)
Josh is the only guy I ever listen to and truly trust in regards to phone reviews. Most professional and to-the-point reviewer on UA-cam. Thanks, Josh.
Joshua Vergara's reviews and videos are just the best ones on this channel ! Great work !
WOAH COFFEE THING IS AMAZING PLEASE TELL ME MORE
it's for tea, you put your leaves and water and let it brew and then you pour it from the bottom
Ordered a Nexus 6P 64gb Graphite 😍😍😍
same
Lucky. I'm saving up now!
+Noah Fischer amazing phone dude you'll love it
Jose Cedillo yep.... You're going to love it
Nayan Pradhan I feel like the only issue is amoled burn in but it's is very rare
I wanna note that QC 2.0 still works. Its just that usb c natively supports higher rate of chatging now so we dont need qc 2.0 anymore.
That relieved feeling Joshua's voice gives at the start of the video! XD
if doze only works if phone sits for awhile it's pointless. I charge my phone every night. if it doesn't work in my pocket that kinds sucks
+cowboysfanzz77
That's one reason why I prefer Sony!
STAMINA does basicly the same thing for a long time alredy.
And that as soon as the screen goes of.
But most of all, also in your pocket! It does not have to lie still.
Yeah. Was kind of disappointed to hear that it only works in that situation. Kinda pointless. Only time my phone isn't in my pocket it is at night when it's charging..
midicronica1
Indeed!
That's also why I'm a bit cocerned what I red about Doze. About what OEM's will be allowed to do in terms of power saving.
I would hate it, if I would lose STAMINA over this!
it's ANDROID. basically you can do everything. greenify now can help you enter doze as soon as the screen goes off and it doesn't require Root. just one click if you'd like you phone to doze.
+cowboysfanzz77 I think it works as long as the screen is off.
Planning on Replacing my iPhone 6 for a pure android experience , i'll be back to iOS after few months but do you recommend the Nexus 6P ?
Yes!
yes you won't regret
I recommend you to get a Samsung S7 or a LG G5... More features... And a nicer design....
Not a pure Android experience, and in my personal experience with TouchWiz, it sucks.
Update : I got a great deal on a Meizu MX4 ... GUYS IT'S AN IPHONE RUNNING ANDROID !
that's what HDR does, lowering highlights and raising the shadows to get more detail in the photo
that alliteration at 11:12 was amazing!
*"It might be a pretty penny but at least you're getting a pretty great experience in a properly premium pretty body."* -- try saying that 3x fast lol 11:06
The Nexus line has always been the reason for me stay with Android. Now that they've become unaffordable in my country I honestly don't know what to do.
I feel you. it sucks that the phone is so expensive outside the US
+Karlo Schallibaum the htc a9 is around £400!
The Nexus 5X is cheaper.
The Moto x has a near stock android experience, Motorola and nexus devises are the only android phone I would ever get.
Wait... That's the reason you're with Android? Where else would you go? iOS? Pretty sure that's even less affordable.
The OPO is still a very viable option in 2015.
Josh is honestly the best on this channel when it comes to reviews
I wasn't into phones really back then, but it still offers insane value in 2017. At launch it had to have been perfect.
at 2:18 that ant wants the Nexus 6p too!
I just got my nexus 6p 32g aluminium 😍😍 here in Canada
Ha-ha I know its an amazing phone
Just bought a gold 6p and I must say it's an amazing phone! This is coming from an iPhone 6s owner and an iPhone owner for years
This guy is the best for AA! Hopefully they can stabilize the video recording on the 6P with a updated
Is it worth it to get a nexus 6P now? I really like it but im not sure if i should get it…
Still?
+Rex the King Yeah, I really like stock android and i watch alot movies so the big screen and front facing speakers are amazing
It's gonna be worth getting it in 2018...
and we are still in 2016 and there is a hell lot of competition over the 6p
Joshua, What you suggest? What to buy Nexus 5X or 6P ?
+TechyGeek
The 6P BY A LONG SHOT
its better to buy a metal finished than that of a plastic
6p and 5x are differently priced so they can't really be pitted head to head !
+Joao Teixeira nice phoneya
+TechyGeek there's reviews for both now, so check'em out. I personally say if you have the many, definitely the 6P. =D
I bought Nexus 6P 32GB Aluminum. After using for a few days I noticed a tiny crack on the bottom far left of the screen. It should be noted, I had not dropped the device or abused it in any way. That crack slowly became a large crack across the display. I'm truly disappointed with Huawei Nexus 6P quality. I contacted Huawei but never got a response. I recommend people interested in this device think again and avoid it like a plague.
I just purchased my Nexus 6p! switching from a galaxy s6 edge. can't wait until it arrives!
WHATSGOINONEVERYBODY WHERE IS IT?
I'm shocked...
I know :(
So do I.. He doesn't care anymore :(
a bit rushed don't you feel? and less emotion felt. maybe he's not having his best of days
damn that fried chicken looks tastey.
Amazing review! 👍 I was waiting to get this phone when it was announced but the prices outside the US are just crazy, so i settled with the Note 4.
You could also use the notification led/light so you atleast know which kind of notification you got. Insted of turning on the amibient display.
Hmmmm nexus 6p or OP3....THE question
I love my nexus, but the OP3 is newer so it has updated specs.
same i DONT KNOW WHAT TO GET GOT DAMMIT
What about ZTE Axon 7
Does/Will the Nexus 6p suffer from amoled burn in? Just like the nexus 6 and most samsung devices?
Only if you go full brightness
+Danté i've been using samsung devices for the past 3 years and i never had any burn ins at all.
+thereddevil_66 same here .
+thereddevil_66 same no burn in
***** heavy usage.
Love that intro where tea is dropping in the background.
BTW, What about the heating issue of the snapdragon 810 chip?
good to see you again josh, your reviews are awesome, do more reviews man!
Seeing that thing face down on the rock made me cringe a little.
+Stephen Putnick try the Samsung S6 Edge giveawy also
gleam.io/0FY4z/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-giveaway
What type of coffee maker is that?
the electrical type
Was wondering exactly the same 😂
always a joy to watch your reviews Joshua, i love your voice
This is the only guy that can get me through an entire video. Nice review!
I love this Guy
Mechanical keyboard for the win Josh.
Fantastic review, Joshua. This is probably one of your best videos. Here's an idea though, review Windows products, please. We, as consumers need more objective reviewers like you. Anyway, keep up the good work.
What a fantastic reviewer! It would be great if this phone had OIS in the camera.
You guys put out so many videos that I can't even keep up. lol
like the top back camera, looks like the good old droid days.
don't know why but I seem to trust him more than I do any other reviewer
the bad cameras on prior Nexus phones held me back from getting one, I might ditch my LG G3 to get a Nexus 6p but the size of the phone is a concern for me
You sound and look alot more enthusiastic this video. Keep up the good work AA :)
I have been watching so many of your reviews I'm starting to feel we are close friends
The bezels are so big though.. seems like a wonderful phone but I'm absolutely satisfied with my Moto X Pure. Android is doing great things lately - awesome review!
hey bae, I got something big and it will satisfy you ;)
Great Review Josh!!! Want this phone soooo much
Have just pre ordered it today :-) Thanks for the great review, you are doing a great job
I have to say I just bought the Nexus 6p and it is probably the best phone I have ever had. How strong the phone feels is incredible. The Nexus 6p is lighting fast and is a all around good phone for anyone thinking about buying it go for it!!!!
What a great review ! They cover all the technical aspects of this device ! Best video shots too ! That's a good marketing should be used for all OEM's ! That's why I brought this device. Thank you mobile reviewers ! Good job !
Hey android authority! You should consider doing these videos in 60fps. Even if the camera you record yourselves is 30fps, You should use a 60fps shooter for recording the cellphone, since in the clips where you use the phones, they seem laggy, but this is just product of a 30fps recording (When smartphone screens buffer at 60hz)
My next phone ... I just ordered and can't wait to get it!!
umm the phone aside... WHAT KIND OF COFFEE CUP THING WAS THAT IN THE INTRO???
your reviews are rly nice to watch man!!!
I'm enjoying almost all features of Marshmallow on my latest CyanogenMod nightly, still have vertical app tray, latest 4 apps used in top line n getting 4-4.5hrs with my Oppo find 7a loaded with CM 12.1 nightly what am I missing here?
I enjoy your reviews & I've viewed a lot of your reviews. There's one thing that I want to ask. I've never seen you ever satisfied with any phone's camera. What is it actually that you expect from a phone camera?
Good review, Josh!Looks like it needs a case, this one looks pretty scratched for just 10 days usage (1:22 , 3:56, 7:13)
this is by far the best Android device ever. I never tried an Nexus device before and I'm very happy, no carrier bloat ware, pure Android is the way to go.
great review!!!
I would really appreciate if you guys could also show a water proof and drop test for nexus 6p to test its durability
i thought i had missed out on all the giveaways of the 6P, yes, still a chance! great reviews as always!
I am from india and i also like your reviews josh,well done.... It is pleasurable to see your reviews
at 6:43 i thought he was gonna say you can go from 0 to a hundred real quick😂
Problem is only with the design behind, extra portion for camera makes it weird, in case of mishandling I think the backside glass might break, don't know what other users are thinking, but overall it's one of the best :) , will be grateful if someone gives a reply about that :)
LOL @ 0:17 Josh says the name of the Nexus 6P at the same time his coffeemaker is peeing into his cup.
Joshua is my favorite AA reviewer. Although I'm still trying to figure out if he's Asian or hispanic or neither, i like to be on edge so I rather not know.
Just got mine today, it's so beautiful
Do those black command strips on your shelves have a purpose? Just curious...
Nice review and your other videos are helpful. Thanks.
I wanted to buy this but its overall size is huge and instead opted for my favorite Samsung! The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is beautiful and amazing! I like the way Android is going and even the OEMs are doing well! Touchwiz isn't bad anymore and All is Good in the Android World! ❤ Android Lollipop was a Revolution!
My dream phone (possible to make now) would have Samsung's display (size and res.)and performance on the Note 5, Lg's camera on the G4, Huawei's fingerprint sensor, a massive battery (with quick charge) with fantastic battery life, be waterproof and expandable storage.
Google, PLEASE get all of these companies together and make the ultimate phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joshua is the reason I just got my nexus 6p
I really like this phone.... I just got the frost white one. Great build quality, good sound from speakers. Excellent display overall great phone.
Thanks for the review Joshua! Great explanation as always!
This phone is truly a beauty. I'm still not a fan of the way that camera looks but it's not a deal breaker. $499 really isn't that bad.
Awesome review. Had to watch it twice. It's too bad that I realized recently the only thing making me want to upgrade my one m8 was the camera... so I bought a camera :)
Great review, mine is on the way. Although I have had to pay £579 for the 128gb model.
can't wait for my 6p to show up in a few days. already got my $50 play store credit!
I need that! Not the phone, but that coffee maker.
I have this review of the nexus 6p. and thanks for your review... iam the market for an updated android is device.I believe in justisfaction of the price point and after watching this review iam sold. great thanks.
lg g3 came with all this about 2 years ago meaning that the phone was 2 years ahead of competition......its now that we can take full advantage of it
I have a Nexus 5 and I'm pretty happy with it to be honest, but the Nexus 6P is tempting, especially the 128GB model. It's a shame Google decided to screw over customers outside the U.S with the exchange rates and pricing. I'm going to wait for the iFixit repairability score before I decide on anything proper though.
Love how people say the Nexus 6P has very high build quality when it easily snapped in half on Zack's durability test XD
Always the best reviews. Thanks, great job!
I'm not sure why everyone keeps talking about the "new" app drawer that scrolls down. This is not a Marshmallow feature, I've had it on my 2012 Nexus 7 running Kit Kat for over a month.
