To be fair, I dont think you get that with any Android phone.
I much prefer the hump of the 6P than the ant hill camera on the 5X. I do like the black finish on the 6P but can't get over that nexus logo and fingerprint scanner in the back. Nothing a case can't fix though.
Forever and always.
Will probably go with the blue one if I decide to go with the 5x
I'll take one black, please.

Huh I'm coming around to the 6P now :O
Maybe it's Nexus Fever!?

It looks a bit cheap and plasticy.
Don't understand the hate for the 6P though. That thing looks like it's from the future.
6P in black for me. Fingerprint reader will make LastPass so much easier than before
Ah, good point.

I kind of like that shade of blue for the 5x. Decisions decisions. But yeah now that we know the 26th looks like the launch of the 6P I hope the 5X is faster than that.

6P seems like a nice device. The big question mark is battery. If its under 3000 mah its a no go.
Also the seller on eBay canceled my Nexus 6 order. Whew.
I'm right here, laughing at that garbage phone while simultaneously using my beautifully handcrafted masterpiece from Cupertino.

One of the most bland looking phones of the year. The blue version isn't for me either. I'd have to decide between white or black and both suck.

AP are killing it today, dayum.
As for the 6P if I was to get one it would be black or at a push silver. Gold always looks tacky imo and a bit douchie

Did you update your OP2 to 2.1 yet? I got mine today but can't play with it until after work.
Saiyan-Rox

Aye I did and tbh I feel the Fingerprint scanner isn't as fast as it was before the update apart from that it's a shit update overall adding stuff that is useless to me.

colors are ick
Definitely going black
The matte finish makes it look like a piece of soap.

I also dig the black 6P and I dig the simplicity of the 5X design. These devices look good. And they're nexuses!
After last years abomination I'm glad google came around. It's a shame qualcomm shit the bed but they look like great phones that will definitely last us the year at the least.

I've heard it improved the camera alot. I might sell this one too, but resale market crashed so I'll probably only make $30 or $40 profit.
Definitely thinking of this as a one year phone for now. I need to upgrade and the 5X is the best option for me but feeling pretty bleh about it right now.
-Pyromaniac-

I generally upgrade every year especially if I buy off contract but yeah the snapdragon 820 and whatnot is too good to pass up.

If the 5X has the same camera as the G4 I might have to cave and upgrade. My N5 camera lens is so scratched up and dirty on the inside that it makes the front facing camera look better than it. But damn. Those bezels.
It feels like these devices were just kind of whiped up in a week or so. Please for the love of God, Google. Fix those damn bezels for next year. >77% s-t-b ratio

I guess my LG G3 is broken, just out of the blue.
It is slowly dying.
It have actually been on that screen for hours now.
Does LG release system images for their phones?
A full reflash might fix it.
Saiyan-Rox
Member
Aye it did but camera stuff doesn't interest me in the slightest tbh I never use it. I might just need to rescan my fingerprints actually thinking about it because I did when the 2.0.2 hit in order to see a difference.
Serious question here btw lads. A store in town is selling a brand new V3 Google Glass with frames included for £255
I've got 80 quid in paypal already which would bring it down and i'm seriously tempted even if it's just as a collectors thing
Someone talk me out of it.
Kind of curious how that fingerprint scanner on the back will work with Android Pay.
It seems like it would be awkward tapping your phone to terminal, and then scrambling for the fingerprint scanner in the back. The way Apple and Samsung did it with it in the front makes way more sense.

The scanner on the back is a shit placement, no matter what.
It's on the back since nexus phones dont have physical buttons like Samsung, Apple and the OP2 do.

That's the price we pay for the dual-speaker crowd to get what they want.
Well that and overly large bezels to compensate for those speakers.

Neither is something I really want, so now I get the worst of both worlds. A stupid scanner on the back and two large front facing speakers that increase the bezel. Great.
I have no idea how to do full reflashes. I'm basically a mainstream consumer when it comes to Android.
[edit]
And now it is just stuck at the LG logo again.

With the nexus phones it's easy, I'm not sure about LG's phones since the only phones I've had from them are the nexus 4 and 5.
It's not booting up because your system partition (where the OS is stored) got screwed up somehow. You can't write to it without root access, so it might be a hardware issue.

Amazon India specs confirmed said:
Lol that's crap. That's a 5.5 inch sized phone. 2gb of ram is also a joke if they are really trying to charge $400.
Really?
I didn't even root my phone at any point, and didn't install malware apps or anything.
When I start it up, there are horizontal lines for a split-second before the LG logo appears.

Give this a read it seems simple enough to completely reflash

They said anything about the cost of the 6p out of contract?
I have a Nexus 6. Does Google ever do an upgrade program or anything?
