I'll give samsung props if they stick with 5.1 for the S7. They really should. I'm glad the nexus 5x didn't go 5.5. 5.2 is doable for me.

Nexus 6 has a .8in bigger screen and a useless, battery-sucking QHD display.
I expect to get at least as much battery life out of the 5X, if not more due to a lower resolution, more battery efficient display + Android M.

If they have retail boxes already, then I expect preorder to open that day at the very least. I think Pyro said the 6 wouldn't hit Canadian carriers until mid-October though.

Late october :/ As in 25th/26th/27th.
But google might sell on the play store ahead of carrier launch, you never know.

The camera assembly + mount has to be thicker than the rest of the phone's casing? Why else?
The humps aren't decorative, much like a camel's humps, they are there for a reason.

You know Google will do something stupid and price it at $600+

I feel like $650 base in canada probably means 450/499/549 in the USA. Nexus 5X can be 399/449. or 349/399 (lolz).
6P doesn't look that bad aside from that shitty placement of the fingerprint sensor. Don't mind the hump too much.
Do you guys actually sit around marathoning movies on your phones? Why not on a TV? or tablet? or laptop? or desktop? I really can't think of a situation where I would sit around watching movies all day on my phone unless I was trapped in an elevator. And even then I can live with the 20 or so HD movies i can fit on a 32GB phone. 64GB is more than enough for me.
Music hoarding I can understand a little better but even then its ridiculous. I think I can confidently put the guys hoarding movies on their phones as the same assholes tethering internet from their phones and using up 100s of GBs on data and ruining it for everyone else.

I agree almost 100% here. However, I think the 6P will star at $499 and go up by $50 from there. So, 128gb for $600.

I figure the full horizontal hump is there for an actual reason and not just a design choice.

My sister does this. I gave her a big ass tv with a Chromecast and she still watches shit on her tiny 4 inch phone. it's infuriating.
$450 for a 32GB 6 might be more tempting than a $450 32GB 5...and I've only been thinking about the 5 thus far.

There's no way they're going to be the same price.
4K video, high res photos and Google Music/Spotify cache. For those who do gaming, games like GTAL:SA is over 2 GB.
Again all I'm asking is for 32 GB minimum as the base if you won't offer me storage. There's no way that 32 GB of memory today is material in terms of BOD cost vs 16 GB today. I refuse to believe.

$450 for the Nexus 6P would be manageable. I'd bite on that.
Also Nexus 6 is now only $299 on ebay. Crazy deal.
-Pyromaniac-
Member
Yeah it's hard to tell since the 650 is canadian. And a carrier price. Maybe it'll just be marginally cheaper in the USA like 500/550/600 for the 3 models. And 399/449 for the 5x.
But I feel like 500 is a lot for a huawei phone (not because they're bad but because they usually don't charge that much) so it's really hard to say! Again for reference OP2 base model is 80 bucks more expensive here. iPhone 6s is like 200+ bucks more expensive.

compromise after compromise for a singular vision.
almost sounds like the iWay, except even their small phone has 128GB.

compromise is the name of the game here
4K video on 720-1440p phones? You're most likely gonna move the file anyway to watch it on your 4K TV. I have over 1000 photos auto uploaded and saved to iCloud and didn't pay a cent. Same goes with Google Photos. I can't say much for the apps since I rarely game on my phone aside from Hearthstone.
While I agree 32GB should be standard, you can't really complain. Bigger storage sizes are easily available for just $50-100 more.
Also music streaming doesn't count against my data so even less a reason to have more storage than 128GB.

Fuuuuuuuuck. I accidentally ordered a Nexus 6 for $299 when I was trying out a coupon code. Cancelling on ebay seems like a pain in the ass.
Lmao

Apparently on ebay proceed to review and checkout means process order to them.

I put in a cancel request, but it's up to the seller to respond before shipping the item to approve it on ebay. Something tells me this won't happen.

Fucking lol
That happened to me the first time i used ebay but it was with a cheap item.

Getting that hump with my bonus. That freaking phone will turn heads when I whip it out, lolz.

Seems like ebay wants this to happen to increase sales. Hopefully the buyer gets my cancel message before shipping.

I can't get over the camera hump. The phone would look fantastic otherwise. Why!?
BoboBrazil
Member
Maybe there will be a case that fills in the back so there isn't a hump. Maybe there is some other reason for it that hasn't been revealed.

The iPhone looks like shit with those ugly ass antenna lines yet people still buy it.

Yeah maybe, but it better be mind blowing to allow that ugliness.

The Nexus 6p is ugly, that camera hump is ridiculous. The 5x seems ok though.

I think both Nexii look really good. I've never thought humps on the back of phones looked bad. The only disappointing thing from a design standpoint with both of these are the top and bottom bezels.
The shape of the phone when you turn it sideways.

Xperia Z5 Premium priced at $140 and available on every carrier would still flop.

Cmon. We're in a thread where people buy OnePlus phones and phones with no battery or camera.

OnePlus 2 is still a good phone 
They improved it even more with the latest update 2.1. It's probably the best phone out at it's price point so far this year.

Why is everyone hiding battery specs on the 6P? Probably gonna be 2600mah or something.
Was there any word on the color offerings of the 6P? White or jet black would be pretty slick. Even nicer if they got rid of the Nexus logo. I just can't stand silver. I think it'll be a great replacement for my aging backup M7.
Hopefully there will be a nice case to cover up the fingerprint sensor and logo.
