Just got a nexus 6 off craigslist for retail.... Phone is huge but fits comfortable in the hand. Using NFC to automatically download all my apps and and settings was seamless. Used my note 4 as that is the phone I have been using this week. Willing to ask any questions and post pics.
How does the screen compare to the Note 4?

Does it seem snappier than the Nexus 5 and Note 4?
Does the trim around the sides look purple in person?
Congrats on getting it!
The screen on the note is a little sharper... It is so Much snappier then the note 4. I have an at&t note 4 and it is so sluggish even just using hangouts is a choir. I'm hoping they fix it with an update Samsung needs to boggle down touchwiz and change the ui so out dated.
Yes typed in nexus 6 in craigslist someone had a midnight blue posted for 649 I responded and one meet up at Starbucks later I have a nexus 6. The metal on the sides are definitely blue

Why would someone sell it at the list price, when he can get so much more for it??
She said she got it free from google and the phone was too big for her. I can only assume she didn't really know what the resell value is since it isn't out yet and she can't compare. She literally charged me just 649 gave me one dollar back. She rocked!
Nice! Please post some more pictures though.
Here's what I'm wondering:
- Is there any noticeable lag especially when opening apps, taking shots with the camera and going through the overview (recent apps)?
- How do the camera and display compare to the Note 4? Can you do some side-by-side pics comparing the two devices?
- Is the back of the phone "rubbery" (like the black Nexus 5) or "slippery" (like older Samsung phones)?
- Any issues while you've had it?
awesome man,
does it have slimport support?
trim color purplish or metal?
sot?
Does the front facing camera lag and stutter, especially in lowlight, like on the Moto X 2014?
If you had a Nexus 5 (new) in hand, would you pay the $700+ for a Nexus 6 or would you hold onto the Nexus 5 for a while longer?

Hmmm weird how she would get it free from Google. Did it come with everything or just the phone? Cause the cable I see attached to the phone in your initial post is white, I thought it was black from reviews I've seen. I can almost bet she works for a certain carrier and she took it lol.
Awesome man. Waiting for more feedback on daily usage from you like battery life, camera etc.

Holy hell! You better go play the lottery, NAO!
Who would waste time to post a fake phone? I wanted to share it with the XDA community as anyone else would. The micro USB that is charging the NEXUS is white because it's from my note 4.

So far I'm getting use to the size. This thing is huge. It's really fast but does show some lag when you open the camera and ambient doesn't work all the time. As far as if would I rather have my nexus 5 No I would choose the 6 over the 5 just because of the battery alone. Phone does not feel slippery at all. Metal trim is definitely blue when looking at it in person.

How bright is the screen in daylight outdoors.
How bad is the battery life compared to your note 4
Do you find it any faster than say, a nexus 5?
Does it still feel premium in hand than a note 4?
Anandtech reported slow Nand performance than nexus 5 and a worse lowlight camera performance than nexus 5. Even Joshua from the Verge said the n6 camera: "Its laughably bad"
Can you confirm any of this?
Thanks

I have been using my nexus 4 on at&t's network for a little over a month now and I cannot find one downfall of this phone... I applied a Dbrand black leather sticker on the back glass and that just made the phone feel more professional.. almost like a blackberry 9900. (but more functional) My question is, has anyone found a phone that can shake a stick at the nexus 4 as far as fit and function. I have a Htc One and i am thinking of returning it because I see myself using the nexus 4 and leaving the one at home more often then not.

I'm a fan of the N4 but you have to be realistic. There are plenty of phones now which can easily be considered better than it (e.g. HTC One, S4, LG OG Pro, Xperia Z) and while none of them are anywhere near as good a deal as the N4, most are better phones for the majority. Only a few people actually care about updates outside of XDA and don't really know how awesome stock Android is compared to other UIs.

Yes it's too good
I wasn't really impressed with the S4 or the HTC one tbh. Overpriced for basically the same specs you get with the N4. Samsung phones are loaded with bloat now,and feel like a hollow plastic toy. You can hardly tell its android anymore with the TW bloat interface. Yea the HTC one has a nice build quality, but is it really worth shelling out almost 700$ for? I don't think so. I will never buy another non nexus device again. (All personal opinion) I am extremely happy with my N4. I haven't had 1 single issue with it. I get 2.5 days of heavy use and about 5 hours screen on time with my ROM kernel combo. And for 350$ you cant beat it.
Keep the Nexus, return the One.

Yea don't get me wrong, it is a really nice phone. The screen is large and vibrant. The specs are great. I just think its too large, by the time you get a case on it, its even bigger. It would drive me nuts in my pocket.
i love my G3 and was content with it until i seen a good friend and noticed he had a note 4 i asked if i could take a look .. after about 10 mins i remember the pleasure of having the note 3 just something about the phone i cant explain. the screen gorgeous the movie i was watching on it looks GREAT ( transformers ) .. camera great on par with my g3
and i see hyperdrive is here for the note 4 ( used it on my note 3 ) that just about seals the deal for me .. my son wants my g3 he has the m7 so hes wanting the bigger screen and i can use his jump
just have to make up my mind on what color

I said I was going to get it and maybe return it for a Nexus 6 in two weeks. It will cost a 50 bucks restocking fee though. Lol. I'll have to see but like you I'm liking the Note 4 more then the G3. Note 4 screen pops more and just feels like a well made phone. Not saying the G3 feels bad.

did you pawn off your G3 on your wife, or return it?
I predict you will keep the Note 4; its the finest "feeling" phone I can remember owning, maybe even better than my htc one Maxx that also felt fantastic in your hand..

Yea wife has my G3. I said I need to flash a Rom for ya and she replied back saying no honey that will mess up my phone. Lmao.
I did have some issue last night with my N4. Not sure if it was because of the bar I was in or what. Or if it's a sim card issue or reception issue. Seems ok now. I downloaded a rom for the wife and it ate up her 1GB data quick so I couldn't compare the two phones. Lol
a bunch of people in florida/georgia were having signal and reception issues for the last week or two, but I dont know about ohio..
there are 5 or 6 nice roms for the note 4 already; I can't imagine how many there will be once more dev's grab this thing...
I am impress with the N4. I have black blackground on my phone bc if is black, then no lights its used hence save battery. I think the pixel is not turn on. Its really amazing. Its not dark grey.
LoL

BAD ASS NOTE 4
I was also really torn on the color. My previous two phones were a white GS3 and a white Note3, and I loved them, but when I saw the Note4 white and black side by side, the black just looks better. The back feels a little "softer" too. Not sure why. I think you'll be happy with either, as they're both sexy.

I played with one at the tmobile store yesterday for the first time and i actually loved it too. Definitely gonna be jumping when i have the money for the tax
I really hope the camera focuses as good as my g3s though
Update and root. Also came from the g3. It was a great device, like the feel of it and I miss the rear buttons and tap to wake. However, I like new toys and considering I had a jump to use I figured why not? It's funny seeing all the same users from when I had the tmo s4. I figure this phone will get me thru till the g4 releases. Lol
Updated rooted and flashed custom ROM
As I see there are a lot of of negative posts about this tablet, I wanted to give some prospective buyers a chance to see some positive posts about this tablet.
Of course no device is without its faults, however I truly believe this is a great piece of hardware regardless of some of the inherent flaws. Those have been mentioned many times so please post what you love/like about your new Nexus 9.
I personally love the size. I think its just right!
I love the screen, WiFi speed, and how smooth lollipop is on it.

ROFL!! I thought about that afterwards but I was too late! I feel like Tobias from "Arrested Development".
I love the perfect screen, the build quality, the sound, the speed, the looks and Android Lollipop.

I think I'm keeping this a long time (two years for me would be long).
Excellent screen, excellent sound. The whole size/shape/dimensions are perfect for me. Other than the terrible power and volume buttons I think the build quality is outstanding.
Very happy with it. Now if I can just get a decent cover for it I'll be set.
I had requested a cancellation for my order which couldn't be process because it had been shipped by then.
My plan was to refuse delivery so FedEx would return the package and I'd get my refund that way. Then I thought: "I'm still returning it, but why not just take a look, only a look and that's all".
Then I opened the package and.... love at first sight.
Then I inspected the hardware and didn't notice any bending at the back and the so called "light bleed" issue is nothing significant that would hamper the user experience. I'm so glad my order couldn't be cancelled.
Now, don't even get me started with the 50% fire sale by HTC...
I got mine today, minimal back flex... Which doesn't bother me personally. Minor lightbleed but this effects all IPS displays really... Its about as bad as my N5 and N7 which are only noticeable with black screens.
I had an eargasm when I heard the speakers, I can absolutely positively never go back to back or bottom facing speakers.
Screen is gorgeous, absolutely sharp and super crisp. Colors are nice, whites are solid.
I'd buy it again if I had too.
I never canceled, but with all the negative reviews I anticipated having to return the device.
Well, I received my device promptly and immediately began searching for all of the build quality flaws I had heard so much about. I was not able to find a single flaw. My buttons work great, 0 light bleed, no back flex ... This device will easily be with me for the next few years.
Cheers to Google and HTC for delivering on my high expectations!
Love mine despite minor light bleeding but not enough to bother me so not risking returning it to get one far worse. Screen is great, lollipop is fantastic, buttons are easy to press with my fingers and no panel squeaking.
Does get hot at times but hopefully an update and case will fix that.

I love mine. The battery enables my Nexus 9 to (almost) outlast my Nexus 7. Lollipop is fluidly smooth and looks fantastic on screen which might I add, doesn't suffer any serious light bleed. I watch films in bed and they look and sound great.

Mine is awesome. No light bleed, flex, lag, etc. Battery life was mediocre at first but is steadily getting better with time. I've been mystified by all the negative reviews.

I totally agree, although I found out you can double tap the screen to wake it up. So don't have to use powder button as much.

Loving mine so far, first tablet I've had since original ipad that I sold a couple of years ago.
Awesome beast . loving it .
I got mine in a 16g size and love it. I'm on the fence about returning it because the 16g space is too small but I don't want to pay full price for the 32g. Please understand I REALLY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT it except the small space of the 16g, I just cringe thinking about the 32g price. I have less than 2 weeks to decide.
What should I do? If I keep it could I end up hating myself later for having the 16g but I'm not entirely sure.
BTW I picked mine up at bb in launch day.
jumpin' on the nexus 9 love bandwagon...
im a simple little cuss.
coming from a launch day moto xoom, the nex9 is such a joy!
absolutely zero issues. i do plan to sell this and get the lte model but that just shows my love for this device...
I'm getting mine replaced but I like a lot about it. I actually really like having the 4:3 aspect ratio and the letterbox when movies doesn't bother me that much. Lollipop looks great and I really like the concept behind it. I own a HTC One M8 so really used to and love the boom sound speakers. Also using headphones on this tablet is a great experience compared to my Nexus 7 and M8. Nice clean audio while using my AT M50s. Not a Nexus 9 exclusive but battery saver mode is nice too.
Just dropped by the Galaxy Experience Store on Prince street in New York City. All the assistants were toting GS6 or GS6 Edges. Got to look at them both, and LOVED them. The Edge by far had the edge (clears throat) - felt absolutely tiny in hand compared to my Note Edge, and looked drop-dead. If you're in town, I'd definitely recommend dropping by. They even hinted the Sprint edition was already in stock with them ?? AT&T hopefully by launch date of 11 April. Counting down the days...

I did try that, didn't see any lag. In fact, didn't get any lag whatsoever in my brief time with it. Silky smooth. Of course, my Note Edge started silky smooth and then went downhill a bit, so that could just be the newness of the unit!

Thanks! It's so frustrating looking for a new phone. Had a note 4 that i sold after several months of use out of frustration. Recent apps lag, animation stutters, etc. Have a z3 now which is so darn smooth, but camera is mediocre. Hoping S6 can get best of both worlds
I had the chance to hold the new s6 in my hands a couple of days ago at a store in my country and I have to say it really is an amazingly good looking phone from all aspects. No lag or stutter. Premium quality materials. In white it is not a fingerprint magnet at all. I think I'm in love. I really like my note 4 but the s6 is in a different level. The only thing that is holding me back from getting one is that I need to see some proper battery tests with a finalized firmware. Cheers.

Did the smaller screen size compared to the note 4 bother you at all?
To be honest, just a bit. But I am willing to downgrade on the screen size. Moreover, having instant access to accessories like waterproof case and battery case is a big deal for me. With note it is almost impossible to have that.

I was basically all set on the Edge until I went to see the S6 in store. I have esentially completely changed my mind and am going for the regular S6 now. Don't get me wrong, the edge is cool and the engineering behind it is phenomenal but I found issues with the ergonomics and that combined with the additional cost makes the regular S6 feel like the better buy to me.

Thanks for that, my one biggest concern about the Edge. I can make a trip to NYC by train or bus in about 1 hour but Best Buy will have them the end of next week. What am I going to do anyways since they will not be released till the 10th so I probably will not go into the city. It will make the wait even more excruciating to get my hands on the one I end up wanting to own and I really will have enough time to decide when Best Buy gets them.

Don't get me wrong, the edge is cool and the engineering behind it is phenomenal but I found issues with the ergonomics and that combined with the additional cost makes the regular S6 feel like the better buy to me.

Have you been living under a rock?
To hell with functionality. It's all about design. Keep up with the times, bro.

I had the chance to hold the new s6 in my hands a couple of days ago at a store in my country and I have to say it really is an amazingly good looking phone from all aspects. No lag or stutter. Premium quality materials. In white it is not a fingerprint magnet at all. I think I'm in love. I really like my note 4 but the s6 is in a different level. The only thing that is holding me back from getting one is that I need to see some proper battery tests with a finalized firmware. Cheers.

Aha...see, precisely why I went for the white version...fingerprint smudges are much less visible than on the other versions. Coming from a Note 4 (black) as well. I'm very sure I will adapt in no time to the smaller screen. Counting the days until April 10th!
Just got mine yesterday, been using for about a day now, happy to answer any questions about the phone!
I'm quite the Android enthusiast so I should be able to answer anything but don't expect too much!
I am getting mine soon! I am still on the LG G2 so this is a huge upgrade for me. Did you get a second battery and a charging cradle with the phone?
I preordered mine, got it on the 31st. On April 1st I immediately submitted me and the wife's info for the second battery and cradle, it says submitted and haven't heard anything back yet

Erm yes and no :/ I preordered it so I was valid for the promotion and I registered my details on the LG website but it just says submitted. Probably need to wait longer for confirmation from LG but I'm confident I'll get it!
I'm happy for your upgrade! I was originally a HTC fanboy but they do things too slow and their flagships keep disappointing me, so when LG's revolutionary design came out I knew I had to get it. Loving every moment of using this phone it's simply terrific!

Same here ! I kept waiting for the website to be opened so I wouldn't be too late for the promotion or anything. Still waiting for news now.
Does anyone have problems with the paint on the back not looking clean, or problems with the bottom part not being flush?

Well for me, I got the Gold color. It seems pretty clean to me, smooth feel, sleek colors. As for flush, I don't really get what you meant by that haha.

I just got mine! By flush I meant that some people had complaints about the bottom part having a huge gap. Mine is as smooths as can be!

Nice congrats ! Which carrier did you get it from and what color did you get? As for the gap thing, nope, felt no gap, just plain smooth and great feel. Even if there's a gap it's understandable considering it is detachable haha. This phone is what I'd describe as perfect <3

Whatever you do, don't go to the regular LG G5 forum.... There is so much negativity and haters/s7edge fanboys. I'm all for people charing their opinions but damn!
Anyway I got mine today, got the dark aluminum color (forgot the name) from ATT. It feels really nice and the wide angle lens is amazing. I will say I do have a bit of a gap between the bottom and the phone, but its not a deal breaker. I may go to the ATT store and compare to their floor model just to see if I am perhaps being too picky.

I know haha, that's why I posted here, other than the fact I'm using an AT&T version. I think the color you got is Titan? Anyways about the camera, I haven't been using a lot of it but I must say it's really quite different and does it's job pretty well. Compared to my old HTC One (M7) it's just planets apart. It takes in light really well too and basically just awesome. Also, I think you don't have to go to AT&T store cause whem the topic was brought up, I paid close attention and found out mine had the gap too! But honestly I'm not really bothered I don't feel it that much anyways. This phone's pros outweigh its con way too much haha.

I got the silver color from AT&T
I'm going to the ATT store this weekend to check this out. I'm shocked that eBay and swappa don't have barely any for sale.

So i have had 2 lgg5 so far both seems to have an issue with the camera, mainly with snapchat where I dont get the best picture quality like i do with my samsung s6 for the front camera. Anyone else have this issue as well ?

Im thinking it's the app and how it uses the drivers for the camera, i had a similar issue in whatsapp that the phone didn't focus correctly and the pic was blurry even though the preview before taking pic was fine, i don't use snapchat so i can't say i have the issue or not

I have issues with the front and rear cameras in Snapchat. I have also seen someone else with these issues in Snapchat on the lg g5 sub reddit. I don't have any issues with the camera in other apps as of yet. So I'm sure its Snapchat at fault.
I can confirm. Using native camera app pictures came out good and clear. Snapchat seems to take a **** with your camera and makes the pictures all grainy and blurry.
Well apparently my battery cradle and extra battery arrived today, they sent the shipping info today and when i go check the tracking number it's already at the post office niceee, so officially LG sent me the Accessory Bundle faster than BestBuy, now to wait for the BestBuy bundle to arrive at the store.
Does anybody experience slight increase in phone temp (as in while you're holding it you feel heat) when using snapchat or playing some games/cpu/gpu intensive apps ? I feel some heat but I just wanna make sure whether it's normal because of metallic body or defective battery.
