Google Pixel XL vs Nexus 6P: Does the Nexus hold its own?

- Thanks to dbrand for supporting the channel: dbrand.com/AP
The Nexus 6P was the darling of Android fans in 2015. In 2016, the Pixel XL seeks to take its place - but at a much higher price. Does the 6P still have the value and feature set to give Google's brand-new phone a run for its money? Well, in short: yes.
NOTE: At around 5:20, the video says the Pixel XL costs $780. That's incorrect - it's $770. Sorry about that!

My Nexus 6P is almost a year old and it's still buttery smooth. I'm going to wait for the 2nd gen Pixel phones.
Shellyman 1.0 Same I'm still in love with my 6P, I'll also wait on second generation plus I can't use a phone with a screen size smaller then 5.7 now so I hope the next generation pixel XL has a 5.7-5.9 version
Shon Curry And front facing speakers.
Shellyman 1.0 buttery smooth? I really don't understand how you guys use your phone
Shellyman 1.0 Completely agree. I'm keeping my Nexus 6P for another year and I'll see what the second gen Pixels have to offer. The current Pixel is a better phone in terms of specs, but it's not that much better that it justifies the price difference.
Neuro Exorcist What do you mean you don't understand? The performance is buttery smooth...
I waited for the Pixel and the price put me off completely, nabbed a 6P and I don't regret it one bit.
Pistolero891 I did the exact same thing
me too :D never have i had such a good phone
Pistolero891 same here.team 6p
bought my 6p just after pixel announcement.. So happy with it especially in white with red dbrand frame skin
Pistolero891 same!! no regrets got mine about a month plus ago, didn't mind the slightly worse battery life and camera, for how much to put this device is and also how well it competes against the competition. really good bang for your buck honestly speaking.
I completely agree i picked up another 6P after the Pixel pricing hit and laughed all the way home - good review
For the price, I think it is overpriced. But thanks to the $325 promotion from T-Mobile, I bought a regular Pixel, which came out to be $375 after tax. I love it and have no regrets.
Cheetos Ortiz sounds nice
I have been a T-mobile customer for 6 years. I just thought why not make use of the promotion so the 2 years "contract" isn't a big deal to me. As for the first time pixel purchaser, isn't anyone buying one now a first time buyer bc it just came out. If I have a choice, then I would wait for the second iteration to come out as the problems with the first one will be resolved or better implemented. Never buy the first gen of anything if you can help it, that's my one rule. However, I have been using a cheap phone for 3 months due to unfortunate circumstances with my daily driver and it is so freaking slow that I want to smash it, so I thought I indulged myself a little. =P
Cheetos Ortiz Is tmobile paying half monthly?
I wish. They spread it over 2 years, to encourage you to stick with them, like the old days with 2 years contract and a subsidized phone. This time, they give you $13.55 credit each month for 2 years toward your bill. If you leave them before the 2 years, you just don't get the rest of the money.
Call me crazy if you want... I just sold my Pixel XL and I decided to keep my 6p
Nick Nice that's uncalled for... but why?
Sashvin Raj big screen better speakers rooted and converted into a Pixel XL
Nick Nice but what did you miss when going back to the pixel?
Crazy
Did the same. Well, I just returned the Pixel XL to Verizon.
The Nexus 6P still looks so much better, making use of the front with them front facing speakers. the Pixel has a huge chin for no reason, if I were you I would wait for a 2nd Gen Pixel.
Eddy Nelson Lopez I agree, got a 5x right now. holding off till next year's pixels
Huge chin because it is a HTC chassis
+sod16 HTC sucks
i kno
If I were you, I'd wait for the Oneplus 5
6P frequently goes on sale for much less than $500 too.
Got mine like new from Amazon for 250 bucks for a 64 gig. No brainer
mmf115 can you send me a link ?
www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B019BX7F86/ref=olp_twister_all?ie=UTF8&mv_color_name=all&mv_size_name=all keep checking all day and make sure Amazon is the re-seller.
Holy fuck. The 128GB variant was under $400. #mindblown
What about a 5X?
Im still using my Nexus 6 and it runs smooth AF, no need to upgrade
still using my moto x 2014. running custom rom and its great lol ill wait until next year before i upgrade
Was running my xperia z2 with no issues until the screen went batshit
Same. I could almost wait till next year for a new phone. I don't want to wait because I get bored with phones quickly. Who knows
Heck, even my Nexus 5 runs perfectly fine. The only reason to upgrade that I could see is no Android 7, which could be easily fixed with the help of XDA, and no fingerprint scanner which, let's be honest, isn't a really a dealbreaker.
DrathVader though you could bump up to the 6p for better battery life though, it's a pretty big jump imo.
the setup on the 6p is really really sick
Md Farhaan Haider +1
If the Pixel XL had front facing speakers, I'd be all over it. Otherwise, I'll wait until they get that right again.
Ryan Lewis headphones for that don't know why people are always so pressed about front facing speaker
Corrina Blake Yes, headphones are preferable. But, sometimes they aren't the best option at the time or situation. For that, having speakers that face you and not away from you is just nice. Have you used a phone with front speakers?
Corrina Blake Yes, headphones are preferable. But, sometimes they aren't the best option at the time or situation. For that, having speakers that face you and not away from you is just nice. Have you used a phone with front speakers?
Ryan Lewis I have a front facing speaker* on my Moto X 2014, it's only one but it's nice. I just don't care for it and I always have headphones in
Corrina Blake Yeah, in the morning, I'm shaving watching UA-cam. No headphones for obvious reasons. I have Bluetooth headphones for cooking and the gym. My wife and I use speaker phone for our family a lot together, comes in handy. We'll sit in the bed and watch UA-cam together, again useful. Conference call in the office with others, sound projects up. Having speakers facing the direction you look at the screen makes sense. I can't go back. Any other setup is just silly to me. Considering the last two Google phones had them makes this crazy to me (Nexus 6 user, wife had 6p)
Nexus 6P is one of the best Android smartphone ever made. Everything is just PERFECT.
that's not possible, it is a clean and nice phone, but not the best. s7, v20, 1+3, pixel and several others are substantially ahead of this phone
Barta Bhaus In Nexus 6P everything is just PERFECT..
S7: Priced higher
V20: Again pricing and performance both
1+3: That is close to 6P, but 6P is ahead in Camera performance and software department.
So, no any smartphone is as much perfect as Nexus 6P.
That's just my opinion.
Freak_ Aniket_ as long as its just your opinion iam fine with it
Hate Samsung's OS and LG's OS, 1+3 is imo better though.
Barta Bhaus s7 and v20 have software that will bog down the phone. and the pixel is much faster than those out the box.
I still feel like the 6P is the best and most attractive phone out there... I love that thing.
Love my Nexus 6p still a beast
even today it is great especially with Oreo 8.0 . Feels like a new phone!
@@Slammediadotca what about now.... Coz my Nexus 6p is gone for a toss....
My biggest issue with the 6P: Terrible thermal throttling performance
Yeah I notice that with my brothers 6p
Just YouTubing at 50% brightest turned the phone into a toaster
Where if I used my phone at 50%-70% it stays pretty cool
If I want to use GPS in the sun, the phone becomes non-functional
Jdban plus inconsistent battery life with 6P
Aye. Pre-2016 Qualcomm chips suck ass.
Zenos Magha i think its just the snapdragon 810. sony had many problems as well
Watching this video on my 6P, and I have absolutely no desire to get a Pixel.
The crispiness of that 4k is too damn high....👌
Is the skin on the pixel here from dbrand a well? That looks dope though!!
Got a 6P for 75 bucks on clearance at Rogers last night. Pretty great upgrade from a G3
And no contract :D
Howw? Brand new?
yeeeeeeeeee
That's insane! I wish I could have nabbed mine for that price!! At any rate, you've got one of the best phones out there for a steal. Enjoy.
jakiN new? for $75?
yup.
6p was a good phone. But im loving my XL so much more. The battery life easily smokes my 6P, the bluetooth doesnt have my music stuttering in the car and it never gets hot. Being faster and smoother is also a nice plus
brooklyn560 Odd, I've never had any music stuttering on my 6P (or any other phone since my OG Droid) over BT in my car, and I still consistently get 4-5 hours of screen on time throughout the day.
sugonmaballs 6P is known for its bluetooth issues. as for battery, my 6p got around what yours has bt my pixel gets 6 1/2 hour probably more if i used my phone till it died
brooklyn560 dunno I still can't get over the pricing and ugly bezels.
***** I have tried but I couldn't it's mainly the massive chin at the bottom, I will have to wait for pixel 2.0
I have a 6P, an upgrade would have been a no brainer if the XL had just been $100 cheaper, and had dual front speakers. The XL is a premium device, and I wouldn't expect it to have budget pricing, but the 6P was also a premium device, yet much more reasonably priced.
indeed
Nexus 6p is much better than Pixel.
Considering about the specs and the prices I definetly recommend every one to go ahead and own Nexus 6p.
Sameeruddin Mohammed Nexus 6P is better only in price and front-firing speakers
Валера Бабанин, the front firing speakers are freaking amazing, cant live without them now, and the price should get even better, in my country its about 300 usd, like seriously you could almost buy 3 pixel xls for that!
epichawks Front facing speakers on phones are nice but they are not amazing, amazing is high quality headphones, great quality Surround sound speakers for your living room or crazy 19 speaker in your Audi.
Phone speakers are the worst you can find on a device that produces sound, they all sound like crap, whether you have one or two speakers.
Bah, even my Nexus 5X runs buttery smooth and has badass features, and I got it for $240 on eBay.
what launcher and wallpaper is that on the nexus 6p?
I recently started watching the videos on your channel for about 2-3 days ago and I gotta say, I really love your channel
The way you explain everything and the cinematography is top notch, on par with other bigger channels that I like watching as well
I'd love to see your channel grow, since you've become one of my favorite tech reviewing channels!
Keep it up, mate!
Well thought out and well put info.
This is a quality video. Good analysis, good script writing, good execution and good editing. Hi new video guy, thanks for the video and keep up the good work. AP, you did a good job grabbing this guy. I'm even more of a fan of AP now.
If you watch some comparisons online, 6p takes better pictures than Pixel.
ToeCutter yeah, the pixel overexpose pics, while 6p 'dont
ToeCutter no... 6p isn't even best camera of 2015
Definitely takes the best low light pictures in any smartphone to date. Shutter speed isn't as good but the results are stunning.
ToeCutter true
Phillip Lee hahahah what ? S6 ( and note 5 same sensor ) nexus 6p and lg g4 were best camera 2015 and 6p fuck them both
Is it wrong that i'm still using the Nexus 6? Never upgraded to either as I've not yet had a reason to!
Billy Bob Jimmy Joe Got the Moto x pure edition for much cheaper than the 6p and love it. missing a fingerprint scanner but I make up for it with smart lock. Moto features are great and the phone (like note 5) is surprisingly easy to use with one hand.
just wait for nexus 7p I still have my 6p
Just upgraded my Nexus 6 to Nougat. Works amazingly well and sticking with it until next year's Pixel (or Nexus)
So many reviewers tend to ignore the fact that Google is putting a lot more emphasis on marketing the Pixel phones than before. That's why the price point is much higher. I'm really surprised so many people have looked over this. To me, the Pixel is missing 3 features that would make it a truly incredible phone. A better IP rating, forward facing speakers, and OIS.
What's that clock/month widget on your 6P? :)
I'd like to know as well. let me know if you find out!
iTouchUser4Ever looks like it is most likely zoomed widgets
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.zooper.zwpro
sorry "zooper" widgets (damn predictive text) :'(
Zooper widget with min pack.
+edvxrd You were right! thank you so much!!!
what launcher are you running on the Nexus. it looks so smooth and clean. please tell me
Chris nieves I'm using Nova Launcher, and download Zooper Widget Pro, and MIN for Zooper
I've got that exact set up. I just don't know what icon pack he is using.
Thanks!
Ive had 3 Nexus 6P devices, the Pixel XL is a major upgrade to me. Not just because the camera is better in spades, but the performance. Yes the performance is a decent leap ahead. I notice this the most in photo editing, video editing and of course there is no comparison when using Daydream VR which I enjoy using several times a week. I'm taking all my vacations pics with the 360 VR camera app by Google, so cool and my friends love it because they feel like they are there on vacation with me. I really liked my Nexus 6P, but I love my Pixel XL. They got so much right with this device. I would not hesitate in getting one. Oh the price, well the price isn't a concern for me, I'm fortunate in that regard, however, the fact that Verizon has this for $10 a month, is price really that much of a concern. (I understand it would be if Verizon is not your thing, but still other carriers are beginning to offer great deals including TMobile).
I agree with everything you said in this video and I would recommend keeping the 6P if you already have one. With that being said I have to point out that the Pixel introduces a level of fluidity software wise that I have never seen on any Nexus. It appears that Google finally prioritized having the hardware work in harmony with the software and that my friend is a beautiful thing. I do not have the Pixel by the way I just played with it at a store I own a OnePlus 3!
What wallpaper and widget are you using on the 6P!
Adam the wallpaper is from wallrey, just write fall and you'll find

I wanna find that out too!
Found it!! :D :D

While not promoting it... There's video out there that show water resistance for the Pixel
CNET described it as "splash-resistant" probably like the Moto Pure.
Sure, it still works after dunking it in water, but if anything happens, then you are out of luck when it comes to warranty. I am still going to be careful with my phone, regardless if it is water resistant or not. Anyway, I heard the Pixel had some problem with the speaker after the water dunking test.
Cheetos Ortiz Thats true but You are still out of luck if your "Water Proof" phone somehow gets water damage too, Warranties don't even cover water damage for water proof phones either.
mixedguy112 exactly
Just bought a 6p just under 300$. Best Buy also has free 2 day shipping on over 35 dollar purchases.
my god what an amazingly well thought video this is, you did a great job on this zack
i want that 6p setup, what apps , widget,icon pack you uses for that setup and please link that wallpaper
I just upgrade from Nexus 5 to 6P and wait for the 2nd gen Pixel
I totally agree! I am still using my old Nexus 6 as my daily driver and, understanding the differences, it is a great and snappy phone and running Android 7.0, I think I am going to wait for the second Pixel generation because of the lack of important things for me (where I live ratings from may to December, so...) and hoping a miracle, that the frontal stereo speakers and the 6" screen come back
Good job on the videos these days guys. Really well put together 👍
Have a 6P. Love the 6P. Rather disappointing in googles attempt at being "apple"
exactlyyy
Krispy Chips Google tries so hard to be an Apple clone
Couldn't agree more Zach. 6P all the way!
EXCELLENT VIDEO and exactly the feedback I was looking for. way too many videos are of people speculating on whether or not to upgrade. this one actually has a user of both phones comparing. grrreat stuff.
PS: I need your whole 6p setup asap! bacground, launcher, lock screen, have em over
I was using my iPhone 5 for about 4 years till I finally decided to make the jump to Android. That, and the 5 is really showing its age. These videos were so useful for helping me decide where I should start my experience.
Finally decided on a 6p 32gb unlocked last month, picked it up for $275 CAD and I'm loving it. Sold the 5 for $220 too, so only really paid $55.
pixel xl's design sucks... olny a faster processor and slightly better camera for $300 more.... on the other hand 6P has an amazing design and value for money
Nexus 4 was the best. Fuck everything else.
I agree, I've been waiting for Pixel for quite sometime and after the price release and comparison I did go & pick up a Nexus 6P... :D
Totally agree with this comparison. Tired of seeing reviews which showcase the Pixel as a worthy upgrade to the 6P.
gave up my 6P for the XL.:-)
hows the switch?
pierre marcelin honestly Pixel is just a 6P with more speed. in all aspects.thats it and google assistant.
Jeff J.D What about camera and display? Is the Pixel so much faster?
Leftheo absolutely faster.
Jeff J.D Thanks :)
Huawei > Pixel
Five Star you are comparing a company too a phone series
I've had my Nexus 6P for about 14 months and I am extremely happy with it. It's still as fast, responsive and smooth as the first time I used it, which is pretty much unheard of. Usually a phone's performance deteriorates as apps and other software are installed. I plan to keep my 6P for as long as I can and even if I need to replace it someday, I'll probably get another 6P. It's that good.
Finally a video that helped me decide between these two phones. You got straight to the point and gave me all the information I need~~ thank you so much!
*insert first comment here*
Great video, but the best part of this video is that amazing desktop! Looks sick and amazing! Well organized and that Macbook pro holder is just insane!
I think you make a lot of good points here, especially when recommending we wait for the 2nd generation Pixel. My 6P still works great, and I got my 128gb model for FAR less than a Pixel with similar storage. Plus, I really like those stereo speakers!
Currently I can get these phones for:
Google Pixel XL 32 GB - $1,269
Huawei Nexus 6P 64 GB - $616
I think I know what I am going to go for.
Paid $600 way back for my 6p and it's only gotten better with updates. still loving it and no desire to upgrade any time soon.
I recently picked up a Nexus 6p 32GB for $300, and was very pleased with the results. I have not been on the bleeding edge as far as being the first on the block with just released devices. This comes from a previous job testing new phones and computers during development and prior to release. IMHO it is always better to wait for Version 2.0. The Pixel definitely got my attention, but I was put off by the price tag. I never paid more than $400 for a new unlocked phone and have had 3 versions of the Nexus phones and been fairly happy with all of them. I can easily live with the 6P for a year or two, excellent phone with great features. In 1 or 2 years time, the Pixel phones will be perfect I am sure, and I will be waiting to purchase one.
thank you for this video. very assuring. just ordered nexus 6p to have project fi service. i feel so great hearing this making me know i did a good and wise decision to get 6p over pixel. worth saving the money. thank you for your videos and keep it up. God bless and happy holidays. very brief yet straight to the point information. videos like you do are easy to watch.
What reviews rarely touch on is the weight of the phone, how that conveys a sense of quality, build and form factor to a device.
My first smartphone, iPhone 3GS was almost perfect in its weight & size. it was not only comfortable but had enough weight that it felt solid and very high end. I would just throw it it my pocket, the complete opposite of akward.
My next Phone, the BlackBerry Curve felt light and cheap. Plasticity.
After that the Nexus 5 was a nice return to a proper size and weight ratio, but not until I got my current Nexus 6P have I felt like I got a great phone like the iPhone 3GS. The Nexus 6P is a little too big, but I'm not complaining because when gaming it feels like a tablet, and when talking on it it feels like a phone. It's struck a great balance.
finally a fair comparison with the new beta running on the 6p.. I looked r everywhere, no one compared to the 6p on the new update.. that update made a world of a difference!
I have had a brand-new Google Pixel (Sailfish model, not Marlin, or XL) for three months now. I rooted it, unlocked the GSM, OEM, _and_ bootloader, and installed a beta build of Lineage OS 17 (based on Android 10), and TWRP installed. It is an absolute beast of a device, even in 2019, and I can't wait for the full official build of LOS17 to drop, as there are a couple bugs that need to be worked out before it can release officially. The Google camera app is still there, AI and all, though I _very_ rarely use it. I'm not photogenic in the least, and I'd rather not burn anyone's retinas with a perfectly-detailed picture of my face. Plus, my photography skills are nill, and I have no use for saving any picture files but my memes.
As someone else mentioned below, the UNLIMITED cloud storage is another feature of the Pixel. That's a huge plus. It's not the same as what people can get already from google. This isn't unlimited with a little lower quality. Or video at 1080P. This is all you shoot with the Pixel at full resolution AND 4K video if you want. That's a huge plus. I can't imagine how much data that's going to take up with all the people who use start using. When people get unlimited of anything you always have people who go overboard and use way more than they would if they paid for certain amounts. But, it's a perk Google included.
this review/comparison is up there with MKBHD quality stuff, good job.
So glad i ordered my Nexus 6P yesterday, after using my Nexus 6 for almost two years.
I'm sticking with my Nexus 6P till 2nd gen Pixel comes out 12 months from now. There is just not enough there there with the Pixel to warrant the increased price imho.
Agree! Had the 6p and now the XL, I gotta say I miss the 6p for some reason, I think it's the size of the 5.7" screen
Your Nexus 6P looks amazing. What App do you use for personalitation?
I was seriously thinking the same thing right when Google pixel was announced. I have the nexus 6P and it runs amazing. Google assistant is bound to be released later on, and by then it will be much more mature and capable for daily use
Just installed nougat on my Nexus 4 with a custom ROM. Still a great phone @4 & 1/2 years old. You can pick up a good one off of eBay for well under $100.
Whats your Nexus 6P homescreen setup? I loved everything there... Icons, layout...💚💜
I definitely don't think there's too much of a difference, and that's why I returned my Pixel. Especially since Assistant, the Pixel launcher, the fingerprint sensor gestures, and even the new blue ui has been ported to the 6P :D
how is it possible to bring Google Assistant to any Android device?
What's the Home Screen mod called? Never seen that before!
I had plans to buy the Pixel this year before It was officially revealed but something just doesn't seem right with this phone.Keeping my Nexus 4 still.
Great video. Just bought a Nexus 6P and I'm loving it. Great price Great phone.
I'm still using my 64gb Motorola Nexus 6 that I got in 2014. It's my ol' faithful, might not run the fastest, but it still runs pretty smooth, even on the latest android 7.
I really want a Pixel XL, but I think I can still get some good mileage from my old Nexus 6
I agree with you. I'll stick with my 6p. I like having a bigger and wider screen with stereo speakers. since the update to 7.0.1 it is definitely buttery smooth
It might be nice if Google did something like getting the new pixel every year like Apple since they want to do the same pricing scheme. I feel they could do it and possibly find a way to integrate Google Drive for more storage.
I got a 64GB nexus 6p for $300 right before the pixel came out and I have no regrets
I like to think of some older nexus devices as being generic models of the corresponding manufacturers flagships.
The Nexus One was basically the 2009 HTC Desire.
The Galaxy Nexus was an early variant of the S3.
The Nexus 4 was a round Optimus G
Even the Huawei Nova closely resembles the Nexus 6p.
Google have controversially taken design inspiration from the competition, which IMO is both a dick move and damn smart.
I mean shit, I bought one.
The Pixel also makes me appreciate how far smartphones have come, especially so when I look back at the last collaboration between HTC and Google on a mobile device (the Nexus One) that thing had a 480x800 3.7 inch screen, a 1ghz processor and 512MB RAM. Justified by what was then a reasonable price... £179
Couldn't agree more. I still love my 6P and I will be waiting for the next Pixel for upgrade. I hope Google doesn't cut that many corners(front facing speakers, 5.7 inch display, water/dust proofing) with the next one.
Amazing video!! But only one question what device do you prefer the 1+3 or nexus 6p?
Just bought a used Nexus 6p 64gb in perfect (as new) conditions for 400€ and it's simply amazing (coming from Moto G 2014 after crashing my Z1), everything runs butterysmooth and battery lasts all day with just 40min of quick charging in the morning *.*
The Nexus 6P is still an AMAZING phone, stereo speaker, great camera, beast specs, and a beuteful display. The best thing is the price, in the video he said $499 which was the original price but I bought my 6P 2 years ago brand new in box for $249.99. Still going strong on Android Oreo.
Great video! I've never owned the 6P and not that the Pixel was released I figured I should grab a 6P for cheap.
Nexus 6P is definitely a better deal if you don't need that camera, or the assistant, for a fraction of the Pixel XL price you get a well rounder device that does his job still perfectly fine, on top of that you still have a whole year of updates, or more, more than enough time to see if the 2017 Pixel phones will be up to par with their price.
I've used both and there is no question that the Pixel's camera is miles ahead of it. Quick shutter speed, amazing HDR quality, great low light performance, and that creepily good video stabilization make this worth the premium. But the 6P is still good if budget is a main concern, though available financing makes the price easier to swallow.
Nexus 6p all the way. Bigger screen , solid camera, solid baterry life, amazing stereo speakers, great and unique build quality , great performance with amazing stock android software . All this for $500 or less!!!!
I have a Nexus 6P. I purchased this device since Jan. '15 and the only issue I have with this phone is its battery. Solid phone, and solid investment; for it to be functioning well in today's time means I made a good purchase.
Got a 6P in 2017 for less than half the price of the pixel xl and am loving it!!
my droid turbo died last week. I picked up a Nexus 6p and love this phone. I should have bought it when it came out.
Pixel XL is a MORE than worthy upgrade!!! The masssive battery life (6p with nougat is down to about 1.5 hr SOT)....the amazing and fast camera, and the buttery smooth performance (6p is awesome....XL is WAY better). I upgraded from 6p to XL and it is more an worthy! I'm really fearing that these reviews are going to do to the Pixel phone what they did to the Pixel C. I got scared off of buying the Pixel C at release because of all the reviews saying its nice but not great. I finally decided to pull the trigger and see for myself and it turns out, its the best tablet on the market....hands down!!! The Pixel XL is as good as it gets people. Stop these reviewers that want phones to be fashion accessories from stopping your interest.
Don't forget the fact that the Pixel has 24/7 chat and phone customer support. Thats really good.
good to have mate , but still , way , way over priced imo , i wouldnt trade my 6p for one , or my g5 ..... or even my 2 year old note 4 .
I am still using my Nexus 6p, just can't justify spending the extra money for the upgrade. great video, a lot of useful information.
Google assistant is an awesome feature when it works, but it is very inconsistent. 20% of the time I will ask it a question and it will just close the microphone and not do anything. It is quite embarrassing when I am showing it off to people who inquire about it, which surprisingly, happens a lot.
Suggestion "Now that it's out, perhaps comparing the Nexus 6p against the pixel 2 XL. Is that price difference worth it, how has the Google line developed and what direction is it heading into."
nice choice of music and good audio quality!!
Yeah, I like my front facing speakers on my Nexus 6p. I think that should be a must for all phones.
I'm still rocking the Nexus 6. I plan to upgrade to the 6p in another year or so.
