Hello everyone,
I have been aiming for the OnePlus Two for a while now but since I didn't get an invite and the 6P got announced I thought I'd have that one. Until today that I have received a OPT invite. Now please help me pick which is better, do I get the OPT right now or do I let the invite expire and wait for the 6P?
I've got less than 23 hours to use the invite please help me pick quick.
Thank veeeeeeery much
From a developer stand-point:
Both phones are development phones. Both the Nexus 6P and OP2 are going to have support for almost every rom that exists. Here's the difference, the 6P will have longer support for every rom (As in for years). On the other hand, the OP2 will loose rom support of a fraction of the roms it has right now after CM 13/6.0 source is out. Also Nexus devices are home to new non-ROM/Kernel projects. These include multirom (dual boot), WuguFresh toolkit, etc.
Also Google will support the device for much longer than OP will ever support the Two.
My vote: 6P

Yes, you're right about that but the one thing that is scaring me off the 6P is that it might have problems when it launches and there are no in-depth reviews yet of it

This is a valid concern, but there's nothing you can do about it at the moment except pick your priorities.
There is a method you can use that can help you decide...since all of the facts known at present are the only ones with which you can work. Example: you'll likely not find an in depth review until the actual units have begun shipping...many companies have pre-release devices, but likely agreed to not complete a full review in exchange for physically having the device (ie, away from Google) prior to launch.
Let me know and I'll walk you through it. It's a pen & paper version of conjoint analysis. It'll only take a few minutes, and you'll have your answer.

I've watched every single hands-on video about the device on the launch event in an effort to gather as much possible information about it but I'm afraid it might not live up to the hype. I hear for example all reviewers say it's got one of the best panels, an awesome camera.... but those people only had a short time to assert those things.

No, but I know of no one who has the device and can rightly use their experience with the device to assist you without breaking the nondisclosure agreement they likely had to sign.
I can help you with your decision using only the facts available as of this writing.
Would you like such assistance or not?
#WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
I feel Google will be a lot better to rectify defects of a 6p before op would. They were terrible with customer support and I think still are. You have a great backing with Google.
If you got the $$, the Nexus 6P is a no brainer.

Sure man tell me what you think I need to know
If you aren't put off by the price difference then 6p all the way. I have the oneplus one (came from nexus 5) and since lollipop its became a rather poor device, mobile data will occasionally be unavailable once switching from WiFi or to a new cell tower and it requires a reboot to fix (this is an OPO specific issue). Still not fixed and it took them a year to implement a reasonable software fix for the flawed touch screen.
Updates were extremely late and never provided by deadlines they gave us and the hardware support is terrible where they generally seem to class every RMA as water damage and ask for money to repair a faulty device.
Gave up with oneplus, too many promises and they don't deliver on it. Oxygen OS is still alpha state (in my opinion), the hardware of the oneplus two is still lacking as again they said the camera would be awesome but its not.. They cut NFC which is actually used by a fair few people and that includes me so its an immediate no from me even excluding all the previous crap.
My nexus 5 is still fast day to day than my OPO, says it all really and I can't wait to get back to the nexus line. Was going to get the 5x but its too similar to the original 5 so I thought screw it I'll get the 6p as its pretty much the same size as the OPO but thinner and has stereo speakers and AMOLED display!
Fyi you will get a biased response here but my honest opinion is if the price is acceptable to you and the size is then the 6p is the vastly superior choice.
Enjoy either one

I would definitely wait for the one plus 3, it's just around the corner and has great specs for half the price of a 6p depending on where you live. I bought the 6p coming from the OP2 but it was the smallest upgrade ever for me. Qhd screen is not a plus, surely the 6p screen which is bad and the front facing speakers are hyped but still useless to me. Battery life ain't better. The camera is the only thing that's better for me. Near Stock Android is also available for oneplus phones. I'm just saying, wait a little.

But we will always have the problem of the private drivers in the oneplus world. Thats why we only have forked roms. And feel the company does not care their customers.

True, that's why I sold the OP2 but that was just because of the fingerprint scanner, since MM that problem is solved.
To be honest, development for the Nexus nowadays is also not what is was back in the day.
I'll see what I do but after a year with the 6p I will buy something else. Maybe the HTC 10 or oneplus 3.

This doesn't bother me. When I had my one plus one I ran oxygen os when it was released and ditched junk cm. I had no desire to run custom roms with it. Same with one plus two. I used oxygen. All I need is root. I don't feel the need for custom roms. Even now with my 6p I try a custom ROM but always return to stock anyways. But of course not everyone feels that way...tho I think people are jumping on board with that.
I passed on the Nexus 6P, it was just not enough of an upgrade for me but this time my Nexus 6 will be 2 years old.
Think it maybe time to go for something new.
Unless the rumors are wrong it will be one of the first Android devices that offer a pressure sensitive display (be nice)
I hope this time they back down and allow for wireless charging and add SD card support (could only dream)
Guess we will know in September, hope it will be a nice upgrade.

Eh, depending on what happens I'd rather just forgo the gimmicks and get a customizable phone at less than $400. Not that money is an issue, but I don't use wireless charging, fingerprint scanner, etc...and I'm not keen on having a device that is in excess of $400 that can potentially get damaged very easily. I feel that iphone and samsung are already putting in the frills and charging over $800+ a phone which is completely uncustomizable.
If the newest Nexus winds up being that way, I'll just buy the 6p once the price gets haircut.

You can surely forget sdcard support on a Nexus I`am looking forward to the OnePlus 3 myself atm or the Alcatel Idol 4S but the next Nexus (7 2016 are something similar) is one i also keep in mind later this year.
$800 or $900 Canadian is what Samsung sells it's bloatware laden devices for.
So I am not the majority yes cheap devices exist but if I am willing to live with last years processor(I keep the Nexus 6 until it dies).
OnePlus 3, maybe great but after owning the OnePlus One I am not sure how much I trust these people.

I owned the OPO, and the OP2, the OPO was a great device, the issues that I had with the OP2, I just couldn't take, bluetooth mostly, but other little quirks as well.
I'm on the every other nexus schedule as well, and as much as I've loved my N6 I'm ready for newness. My sister got the 6p and I've been jealous of it, I was really hoping Huawei would make the next Nexus again because of how perfect that 6p is. As long as the HTC nexus doesn't completely suck I'll be getting that one as soon as google will let me, I'm excited for the new update system, so I'll be glad to be on this new generation of Nexus phones. I don't need a ton of gimmicks, I just hope it has a big battery, fingerprint, and improves upon the 6p camera.
I am read for a change, but it has to run on VZW.
I'm ready for the next Nexus as well. My N6 is actually the longest single consecutively used device. It'll be 2 years in November I believe. That is AMAZING for me.
If they took the current nexus 6, upgraded internals, took out wireless charging, kept everything else physically the same and sold it for $400 I'd be perfectly happy.
I really like the face of the nexus 6. Slim bezels and the subtle black speakers on top and bottom
Im in the same boat gents. While the 6p is a great device I didn't feel it worthy enough to upgrade from the N6. Rumors so far are an HTC nexus. While that does intrigue me I just hope it doesnt turn out to be weird in some way. Build quality, etc aka the nexus 9 of the nexus (nexi?) phones. If all else fails Im pretty sure I can snag the 6p off swappa for like $350 or less once the new device is announced. September cant get here soon enough!
wireless charging might be my favorite feature on the N6..I am sure that is staying in the next gen phone
and, with security being such a big issue for alot of people, you can bet fingerprint security isnt going anywhere either..
Also looking forward to the next Nexus. The 6p was a no go for me due to the look (I hate the weird bar which protects the camera), also the USB Typ 3 isn't of any advantage imho (they rather should have added real USB 3, which supports much faster file transfer).
hard to believe there have been no "real" leaks or info on the next Nexus phone at this point...
I am thinking about the 2016 Nexus too... I hope they add SD card support or make a REALLY affordable 64gb option... An equally specced 5 inch model would be dope too. I would actually get that over a 6 inch model as I already use a tablet.
The new Moto's seem nice though, and right now they have my attention.

You can give up on the sdcard. Google doesnt want them and even removed the code for sdcard support from the native code years ago.

I love the wireless charging and not having it was a deal breaker for me.
As for the fingerprint scanner, keep it. You can be compelled to touch the sensor, but not think to draw a pattern or punch in some numbers

Typ 3? I presume that you meant to type in TYPE 3, which I am going to guess corresponds somehow to TYPE C.
Type C is the **PLUG**, not the protocol. It has no bearing on the speed of the connection.
The Nexus 5x and 6p are USB 2.0 for protocol. Type C for PLUG.

I'm going to agree with this. While I don't mind if it has BOTH (the presence of a fingerprint scanner doesn't mean you have to show it your fingerprints), if its a choice of one or the other, the wireless charging is FAR more useful.
However as a hacker, there is one particularly beneficial use for a fingerprint scanner -- rig it up to a "delete everything" routine. If they compel you to use your finger to unlock it, doing so will erase the device.

Hey guys, how you all doing?
Just wanted to know your opinion. Currently I am a phoneless guy since my Nexus 5 died a few days ago and since I gave up on the ZTE Axon 7 due to the lack of support from ZTE to the mod community. I am really, really, really eager to finally see what Google is up with the new Pixel phones. Some rumors say that it will be a tough phone to root and mod due to the two partitions for seamless updates and the startup check, etc, etc. That is worrying me a bit. But, since I am a bit desperate to get a new phone, the wait is just cruel, unbearable, excruciating! Yesterday I came across the Nexus 6P, the 128GB version to be more specific, at Amazon. Taking the Nexus 5 as reference, I know that I can rely on the support from the mod community to always have new and updated stuff, since we are talking of a phone that was launched just one year ago. SO, what would you do? Buy a consolidated phone that is the Nexus 6P with tons and tons of mods available, or wait for the Pixel XL?
Sorry for the long text!
Regards!
i would wait for the pixel xl especially now as the release draws closer. the nexus 6p is no doubt the best nexus ever made IMO but the pixel may very well be better. about modding, android has went through many changes that appeared as the death of the developer community but the ever so skillful and dedicated devs here at XDA always seem to find a loophole. it may take time, but eventually, root will be achieved!

Huh?
Root on a Pixel or Nexus device?
Unlock the bootloader and flash?
That is the one advantage that has always existed on Google/Nexus devices.
If the bootloader is unlockable, then root is pedestrian at best.
Here is mY 2 cents. I literally know nothing about the new pixel phone as I have no interest in getting it. The only thing I do know that I could suggest is number one HTC is a dying company and I believe that's who makes the phone. It seems to be a love-hate relationship depending on who you talk to but in my opinion they make some of the worst phones available. Number 2 the pixel phone is going to be close to $700 where as the 6p is now selling for under three hundred depending on where you go which is a gigantic difference in price. Again I don't know the specs the ins and the outs of the new pixel phone however a $400 price difference and the name HTC would lead me to say go with the 6p. Remember how well the last HTC Nexus device when? Probably not cuz it was basically a pos that nobody gave a damn about

Well I know I'm loving 6p big time after finally being able to get one a couple of weeks ago. It's the gold 64gb one and wow, what a phone that will be hard to beat. I'm working twelves and the phone makes it through the whole shift with ghostpepper profile applied. Anyway like previous post what a deal and for the price of pixel, what a steal. Good luck and thank you.

I just got a €390 128GB Nexus 6P, new. On ebay from a guy who bought it and had a problem. While he waited for the substitution from Google he bought a different phone and wanted to cash back as soon as possible. I was suspicious but the phone arrived in the box, completely sealed and everything was legit. Sometimes you get lucky (and considering I needed it to substitute my Note 3 who got destroyed in a fall, Spigen case and tempered glass protector notwithstanding... I sort of deserved it).
Pixel XL doesn't convince me. Smaller screen first of all. With screens it's relatively easy to go bigger... but going smaller? Not for me.

Yes, some times you get lucky. I didn't! I started asking questions and out of the blue I received an email from Amazon telling me that the guy canceled the the sell because he didn't have the phone . So I promptly bought a 64GB that is fullfiled by amazon, of course.
Got mine less than a month ago. 390 Euros .. the 64Gb version all bran new.
I don't think it's worth paying 700$ for the Pixel XL for the 32Gb version. Didn't see anything worth wasting money on. No major hardware changes that will make that a good deal.
So I'm looking phone that would last me at least 2 years and I can't decide what phone should I get the oneplus 3 or nexus 6p. So which is better for long term (especially that oneplus 3 will get nougat really fast because of custom roms)

If you don't need more than 64GB then the OnePlus 3 is rocking it.
I need more and I'm on Verizon so it's not an option. I have a Nexus 6P that I've had since introduction and it's a great phone.

Looking for stock software updates and a good dev community? 6p. OP3 has notoriously slow updates.

I'd agree with this.
Just seems the OP community isn't as strong with help as the Nexus community.

And, specifically, OP is notoriously slow to update their stock software with new releases. My son has had an OP3 for months. He's had one security update and zero sign of Nougat on the horizon. While they aren't as bad as, say, Samsung, this is generally the problem with hardware manufacturers. Monthly security updates and being first for full version updates is a huge advantage to the 6p.
Plus, if you follow instructions and take your time it's actually pretty hard to brick a 6p.
N6p works on all american carriers.... OP3 only works on the GSM american providers... So choose wisely based on your provider
Other than that, both are fantastic phones with the N6P having the upper hand only because of software updates
I've had the 6p (gave to my son) and now own the OP3.
The OP3 community on XDA is quite good and there are several roms to choose from - no surprise as they are developer friendly. The official roms are behind somewhat, but I suppose that's to be expected.
Currently I'm running one of the Nougat roms (even though they have bugs with the video camera still) and am quite happy with the phone overall.
I would say that the OnePlus is the closest thing to a Nexus you will find. The build quality is good, and I'm loving the fingerprint sensor on the front where it should be.
I specifically bought this phone after I saw what was on offer from Google this year - overpriced, ugly phones.
Had a OP3 and traded it for the N6P. Can't go wrong with either phone, but if you're looking for the latest and greatest ROM wise, the N6P wins. OP3 dash charging is real and the file transfer speeds are crazy fast too. 6P was a better choice for me. The N roms on the OP3 aren't there yet. Camera quality is terrible for anything not based on the official roms. Screen size and front facing speakers were also a big factor for me.
To add to the discussion, the OnePlus 3 is a great overall phone for the price, and especially if you don't ever plan to update (as they are few and far between) it also doesn't have the overheating problems notorious of the 6P. However, the 6P will have faster updates and will most likely have a much longer life (in terms of development) than the OnePlus 3. They are both very comparable and you can't go wrong with either one.
Personally, I've played with both and like both, but I much prefer the 1440p panel of the 6P over the 1080p of the OP3.

My only concern is that after a yeartor so the nexus 6p will be too slow

Samsung has some of the bloatiest Android bastardization out there. Not sure how this is a comparison of the 6p and OP3.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I have the LG G3 for 2 years now and i am ordering right now the 6P.... OP3 i have to buy voor 400 euros, no option plus is has smaller screen i hate... definitly the development will be there for this device, i will just go with CM15 or CM16 if official firmware is not released over 1.5 years. LG G3 also gets nouget but only custom rom... and with the speed, i still like my G3, its still fast... i guess last few years speed isnt really a thing i guess, as also for ram. 3 or 4 gb is enough, i never go beyond 2.5 gb of ram use on my current phone. As i am not going to use daydream virtual reality or those things... i am pretty standard and dont game on my phone. I just love to flash and tweak a phone.

Yeah. If you have a carrier version. Intl is great with not that much bloat, alot use Sammy's brower. The other Microsoft stuff are just shortcuts to playstore and they take no space at all

With the 6p, you're better off buying from Google directly, notwithstanding their announcement yesterday which seems to move away from supporting the Nexus line. As far as Sammy bloat, not only am I talking about awful Samsung specific apps, but also Touchwiz (which while better recently, is still a pretty bad launcher/skin experience), but also their attempts to make it far harder to customize your phone. I've had three different Galaxy phones and will never again go in that direction.
Again, this is pretty off-topic since the OP was asking to compare the 6p and OP3. My son has the latter and, while they have been somewhat slow to release firmware updates, the software experience is far more user-centered and it's much easier to customize them since they stuck closer to stock. In fact, I can use the same ADB/fastboot commands to unlock BL/flash/root for either the OP3 or 6p. Using your Sammy example, modding the phone is an absolute gongshow since you need Odin and it's almost impossible to do easily on a Mac.
I'm stuck between these two also, and don't want to wait until 2017 for the next Google thing.
The only reason I'm hesitant on the OnePlus 3 is because of the resolution and the fingerprint/button on the front, I hate phones that have something on the front like that.

If you are after modding then sammy is out of question. Otherwise sammy is on top of the list

In other words you're in a completely unrelated thread and trolling about your love of Samsung, which is completely off-topic from the question posed here.
It's really hard to choose
The nexus 6p has a better screen,better camera ans better speaker
While the oneplus 3 just flies through every task and a faster fingerprint sensor

I don't see how that's a hard choice. Snappiness can be a matter of ROM, kernel, and many other adjustable stuff. The 6p pluses you list aren't really adjustable.

I passed by the "Win an Honor 8" thing quite the few times and had recognized the name from somewhere. I don't have any luck when it comes to raffles and I have no income currently to get one myself so I wanted to ask some things in the forums here. (I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to talk about it.)
I saw that there was some major hype around the Honor5X/8(?) and I wonder what the main selling point for this is. Is it strong in any particular field such as performance, reliability, or photography? Thank you for putting up with my silly questions
Broad question. The appeal of the Honor 8, at least as far as I understand it, is good performance for a low price.
hey group
hey you guys im new to this forum im actually participating in the chance to win the honor 8. it looks like it will be a major player in the months to come. im currently using an oppo find 7 qhd display and ive had it for at least 2 years now. although i do not want to change phones since im so use to this one i would still purchase this phone and use it as my business daily phone
As far as Honor 5X is concerned, it targets the budgeted segment who expects metallic feel with Fingerprint sensor at the price point of 200$.
Honor 8 targets the photography part and its glass layered design. You can see the Saffire blue model for its attractiveness.
As far as all Honor Mobiles are concerned, 2 years software update is guaranteed unless there is any hard restriction such as Carrier support (or) Hardware support.

I looked into the Honor series a bit and I'm either considering the Honor 8 or the Moto Z Play right now to change from my Nexus 5. I will however miss the unlimited cloud storage for video and pictures. But frankly 16GB (12 usable) is way too little storage space nowadays and having to carry a charger at all times is dragging me down (by the pants at least) so I really need to upgrade. But thank you all for the discussion :3
Coming from CM as a daily driver I really dislike EMUI and it's a shame CM for the honor 8 doesn't work properly yet.
It's also been one of the main critiques of the Honor 8.
If you want it for gaming, don't. other than that, ignore benchmarks, day to day performance is fantastic which is the main reason why I got it.
The other one is the design.
Although the non gorilla glass back seems to be somewhat fragile according to some.
I also don't find it as slippery as most reviewers claim.
So yeah in short performance for the price is great.
For me personally it's an iPhone 6 for half the price and without iOS. So a great deal.
