With all those new phone's came out lately.
I'm confused, S7 looks like a beast, and he is far more beautiful than the 6P.
Although he is also much more expensive and not to mention the crappy touchwiz.
Same thing with Note 5.
The one that caught me is the HTC 10.
But also much more expensive.
Anoter area that I'm curious about is the brightness level, how's the 6P handle?
Thanks!

Really bad battery life? My G4 SOT is around 2-2.5h depends on usage (gaming or not)
But this isn't bothering me because i have another battery with me.
But this isn't the case with the 6P that's why it's important for me.
Ya i thought the brightness isn't special from all what i heard, but i guess it is better that the G4, right?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I don't use the g4 but from what I hear about it the camera is the one thing good in it.

If you're not concerned of losing the stock android interface and monthly updates, go for either of them. Just be careful, apparently the maximum brightness on the HTC is low too.
Nexus 6P is a good device but brightness is quite subpar* ; same goes with battery life, considering the beefy battery it has got!
* all stock

I'm not sure why anyone is complaining about battery life on this device, it performs really well for me. It mostly comes down to individual setup anyway, it's like installing a turbo on your car and then complaining that the car has terrible fuel efficiency.
As for whether it's still worth it, probably not. I certainly wouldn't be opting for Samsung though, and the HTC is nice but you'll be waiting several months for any updates. The next Nexus is only a few months away probably, I'd be waiting for that.
no, definitely go with the HTC 10. I got my 6p and damn the mic, speaks, and call quality is terrible !!!
stay away plus its way large

The only device i would give up pure android for is HTC. Sense is my second favorite if not par with stock android.
After been with HTC One M8 for a year and a half, than switching for LG G4.
I know how good HTC devices is, only problem is that here in ny country HTC ain't popular, most people's buy iPhone or Samsung and lately LG. Which cost me when i sold my M8, after bought it for 700$ and sold for only 250$ in new condition.
I guess the brightness on the Nexus 6P is higher than HTC 10 and my LG G4.

What i like about Samsung devices
(S7 edge and note 5)
Is the amazing display and brightness.
All other thing's including software is awful, at least for me.
S7 edge is a really beauty device, but way too expensive.
If I'll buy the HTC 10 i could live with the several month's update because it has sense which is the closets one to pure android. But also there, too expensive..
What do you mean by few month's away?
I guess also when it'll come out it'll be expensive, and till than my G4 will loss another 200$.
I'll wait for more answers, What bothering me mostly on the Nexus 6P is SD810, as G4 has SD808 which is not that different..

As far as skins go, Sense is ok. I'm I'll never use a Touchwiz device though, that's awful.
There are rumours that the new Nexus lineup will be released in American summer, but probably in October/November like usual.

You won't be waiting "several months" for any updates. The software on the 10 is similar to the A9 and is actually closer to stock than the A9 which got updates roughly 15 days after Nexus devices. Definitely not several months.

I am coming from the M9. The 6P blows it away in every category you mentioned. I can't even get cell reception in my basement on the M9 and the 6P has 2-3 bars. Since nobody really has the 10 other than reviewers you can't really definitely make that statement.
I will say I already miss Sense somewhat. I like having screenshot in the drop down quick settings. Where is the battery percentage? I have the system tuner version but it is useless once you get into the 50-60's percentage. Why no option to restart instead of just turning off? Gmail is terrible for exchange. I tried it again in hopes that the update this week would address some problems but it sucks. The camera app on the 10 will be much better than the 6P. HTC Mail is way better and I can't get hacked versions of HTC apps to work that is on XDA. HTC does some really good things to compliment Android without being overbearing like Touchwiz which keeps it running smooth years later, unlike Samsung. They are subtle but when you don't have them you start to notice.
That said, I was not about to pay $300 more for the 10. If it was the same price. I would have bought it. No phone is worth $1,000.

You are right, i won't buy a phone that cost more than 700$.
My HTC One M8 cost me 700$ and i enjoyed him the whole time i had him
(a year and a half).
When i moved to G4 i missed the sense as well.
But over time you get used to what ever phone you have, unless you have Samsung??
Also i wanted to ask you, as i still wait for more answers, don't wanna rely on one person.
What do you say about the brightness on the 6P? how's it's handle direct sun and outdoors visibility? And how's the camera?

Coming from the M9 it is way better. I guess it all depends on your frame of reference and if you had a S6 S7 Samsung screen before. I can also see what people talk about with this display vs a LCD one on HTC. The images just are more vivid and punchy. If you like the flat look you can change that on the 6P as well. I like the saturation though for a change. The 10's screen is better than the M8 and M9 but not as good as the 6P. At least not $300 better. That's for sure.

The display used in nexus 6p is made by Samsung... I don't think brightness should be an issue... Also you could use ultra brightness mode in elementalx kernel... Regarding camera it's good.... Haven't used g4 so can't exactly compare them... Pm me your email. I will send you photos captured by 6p..
Note: sd810 doesn't support 10bit hevc hardware decoding whereas s7 exynos supports it... So sd820 may support it too... Shouldn't bother you if you don't watch 10bit videos on phone.
Samsung = Knox.
If you want to tether on an UDP (Verizon) you must have root for WiFi tether.
So if I were to buy a phone today, unless I could unlock the bootloader, the device is not on my shopping list.
So for me on Verizon, Nexus or HTC. With HTC you can at least usually pay someone for S-Off.
I have an M9 from day one last year. Really liked it but got the 6P last November because of the improved camera. Also because the monthly updates it receives.

Really on the fence atm as well.. The 32gb is about $650 CAD and the 64gb is about $700 CAD on Newegg.. Ive been running through reviews and comparison videos all week and I am so close to purchasing it, but the price still kind of hurts. It has everything I need, but battery life seems to vary among everyone. The camera also seems to have some issues and lag time between users. The most recent update was suppose to fix it, but some users are still experiencing slow-downs. The phone is almost 7 months old, but since its by Google, updates will always be rolling out.
Love stock android as I had the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5, but moved away to the Asus Zenfone 2, which is already experiencing slow downs and my camera is all wonky. I would never purchase a phone over $600, but the Nexus 6P is looking amazing. Right now, I am just looking for a way to justify buying it

So just like most you guys, I pre-ordered the Nexus 6p and awaiting shipment. Thankfully, a lot of reviews have been pouring in over the past week that gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect. To me, the biggest thing that makes me want to re-think this phone is the sheer fact of how TALL the phone is. I know it's a phablet, and I am currently on the OPO and I have fairly large hands ( I am 6ft tall) and I feel the height of the OPO is probably the max to go before it starts becoming uncomfortable. With the Nexus 6p being a good 1/4" Taller than the OPO, I don't know.. it just seems like it'll be a pain to use the phone with one hand. Plus Pure android does not have any software baked into it to make the interface easy for one handed use.
The other thing that I hear most reviewers say is that they are not happy with the brightness nits in direct sunlight (android authority said it was like 400 nits or something which is pretty low).
So what are your concerns after watching the reviews so far? Anyone getting cold feet? Anyone thinking some other phone (like the Xperia Z5) would be a better option?
I think the reviews have made me more excited to get this phone. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 2013, so it'll be a big size increase. Reviewers are talking highly of the phone with their only negatives really being biases or personal preferences. The aluminum body, how fast and smooth it runs marshmallow , stereo front facing speakers, native fingerprint sensor, ambient display, doze, and all of the features android hub processor brings, large battery, fast charging, amoled display (reviewers seem to agree that it looks great with good colors, but isn't as bright as other amoleds, which can probably be tweaked with software), project fi support, and a low price tag of $499 for a phone that's being compared with all of the best phones available right now like the iPhone 6S Plus, Note 5, OnePlus Two greatly reinforces why I'm buying this phone.
For me this is hands-down the right upgrade for me. I won't support Apple and I won't support Samsung. The closed-source nature of those companies is something I cannot support. I don't much care for their products either.. but that's another topic.
I'm just a tad bit worried about the size, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. My phones have practically doubled in size every year since I had my first cellphone. Besides that, my only other real concern is if there are any repercussions for unlocking/rooting such as apps not working or warranty being voided.
How could you change your mind after the reviews? It's not like the OnePlus Two where there were obvious glaring issues. The only thing I see are mixed reviews on the battery and that all depends on how you use the device which none of the reviews have really gone in depth about. I am waiting for the GSMArena review, they have a standardized tests for all of the important stuff.

If anything, the reviews are just reinforcing why I pre-ordered this phone as soon as possible. I think they have been very positive overall.
BTW, have you held an IPhone 6S Plus before? It is essentially identical in size to the 6P. This is how I made up my mind on whether I could really use a phone this big or not. I'm coming from a N4 so you could imagine I was a bit worried.

And if it is too big, u can sell it (probably for a premium) online and buy a nexus 5x. It's a great thing!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
They have only made me want it more. I usually have my ambient light sensor set at like 20 to 30 percent and never had an issue. So luckily for me that won't matter... Size is a concern just like the nexus 6 was, but this looks to be much easier to hold. G4 was a big change from my nexus 5, but I adapted quickly. And this should have the similar feel in size changes since the width isn't as big as the nexus 6
Nope
Definitely had me rethinking, about how I am going to purchase it
No.

The only thing I regret is no ir blaster and no wireless charging. I like my note 4's stylus, but I can probably live without that.

I'm thinking I will be fine with my nexus 6 now. Apart from the finger print reader and camera there isn't much the 6P can do that the 6 cant.
The battery savings come from marshmallow and I have that already on the 6 so I'm losing the urge to upgrade. If I was coming from any other phone though I would be upgrading asap!

If I'm not looking to tweak the phone, just want something to get away from iOS, is this still a solid choice? I see lots of issues, but it's hard to discern what is causing what.

OnePlus 2 is perfect from my point of you. But not the software. The hardware of the device is beast. Software by OnePlus is no match to if. If you want to buy OnePlus Two you should tweak to get most out the phone. So it's in your hands. Perfect hardware, OK stock software. Of course the Device heats up a bit. If tweaked its the best phone in its range. If you don't want to tweak, you can use stock but wait till marshmallow.

Oneplus 2 and nexus 6p are both good phones for their price range. If you have a bigger budget, i would get a 6p because its better in terms of software updates (they have marshmallow already). For me i haven't experienced many bugs with oneplus 2, others in the forum have had minor bugs. Battery life is not bad, i get around 6-7 hr screen on time with YouTube only with a bit of internet.

I really like the 6P and OP2, but both seem to have some issues. Some bigger than others. And I know no phone is perfect. I can spend up to what a 64gb 6P would cost me, but saving money is never a bad thing. My 6s Plus has no issues, but the OS is so stale and I'm going nuts without the simplest of customization.

Honestly i had the 6p but returned it within the 14 days due to ppl reporting that their phones were warping/bending/twisting so i just ordered a one plus, who else is making the jump? others might do it because of the SD810 heating issues..
I do miss the speakers and the fact that now the 6p got Paranoid android, i lovee thier roms, but i heard they are supporting the one plus series as well...

Probably not. I've heard mixed reviews on OP over the years, plus I love my 6P. I've never had any issues with it
Just you so far, better wear your life jacket!
The op3 has PA.
I'm gonna stick with the 6p, I thought about switching but the 6p has a better camera, speakers and software support. 3gb ram is interesting but imo unnecessary.
I'm convinced the bending is a non-issue. But the build of the op3 does look very nice
Staying with 6p based on mixed reviews of one 3. Overall better phone and it's a Nexus so always up to date. Bend gate on 6p is over blown.

Just put my 6p on swappa and ordered the OP3! the RAM shortage on this phone was killing me and 6 gigs with the oneplus was too enticing

I have had a OPO and OPT.
I hate JDI Screen (Got yellowish tint band).
They also very hot when use.
Their camera is not good.
One good things they have a plenty of custom ROMs.
But I have seen the news about OPThree. It's spec. is looking okay.
(Now they use AMOLED screen, new camera etc.)

I really think people should just be honest and say the largest number makes them feel like it's better.

Just what in the world are you doing with your phone that you're exhausting all 3GB? I agree with others, you would have been more believable had you just said "Bigger is Better".

Honestly i had the 6p but returned it within the 14 days due to ppl reporting that their phones were warping/bending/twisting so i just ordered a one plus, who else is making the jump? others might do it because of the SD810 heating issues..
I do miss the speakers and the fact that now the 6p got Paranoid android, i lovee thier roms, but i heard they are supporting the one plus series as well...
Please id like to know whos jumping ship
Thanks in advance!!![emoji4] [emoji110]

I'm waiting for someone to try to bend it to see what's up. I wish I had seen the Jerry rig video before I ordered my 6p, I didn't until it was on its way and of course my phone warped. I still have a opo I use pretty regularly and one plus has done nothing but impress me(I didn't get the screen issue). I just need to find someone willing to buy a warped 6p for the amount of money I have left on payments for it.

You might want to check out some reviews on the RAM management of the op3. Who cares about 6gb of RAM if the software isn't tuned for it and as a result not keeping the apps open in the background. Kind of pointless to have that much RAM. Maybe they will fix it with an update.

I just received my OP 3 today and it's unbelievable so far. If this thread is still around, I will update with more usage.
The OP3 finally seems a great phone for the price, I'm not replacing my N6P mainly because I've got no complaints with it, and because I like the Nexus software support (but also because I'm not changing phone every 6 months lol).
However, it will be interesting to hear about real life usability of the OP from an ex Nexus user!

As much as i love oneplus as a company, nexus 6p is the best android phone i have ever used, sticking until the next nexus arrives.
I won't ever get a oneplus phone again! So I'm sticking with my 6p, I actually came from the oneplus x to the Nexus 6p and the op x was a nice feeling phone with a great display but the lack of LTE bands for the usa was a killer and it always was over heating and don't get me started on their software support! Piss poor software support, riddled with bugs and no hopes of bug fixes or even an update to Android 6.0 and it's sad that they can't get lollipop stable yet cm13 for the opx is more stable then the stock rom! So screw that I went to the Nexus 6p and loving it! Lte everywhere now, great battery! No heating issues, software is obviously up to date and working flawlessly!!
So if u want to switch just take into consideration that ur phone will be riddled with bugs with little to no hope for faster updates or bug fixes. (I think Samsung is faster to update then oneplus and that's saying something!) And they may not support all the LTE band's depending on ur region. At least this is the experience I've had with oneplus. Also there customer service is horrible and them as a company from what I've noticed doesn't focus on what they need to like having a stable solid rom before releasing another phone they can't keep updated with their near stock Android rom. If they could fix the software side they would be a great company and I would probably reconsider there phones but until them I'm happy with my Nexus 6p!

CONS OF OP3:
1. OP3 has Poor Battery life 4 hrs SOT compared to Nexus 6p 6-7 hrs SOT
2. Camera quality of OP3 not good compared to 6P.
3. Poor speaker sound quality And Mic Quality isn't that good
4. Latest Android version like MM just received for OP2 last month.. where 6P is ready for next official Android N. where some 6p users are running the N preview also
5. No Monthly Software Security Updates ..
6. Oneplus Service Centre takes almost month to repair their handsets. And even I don't have Oneplus Service Centre in my local. Better find One before buying products from OP
7. 6GB RAM used in OP3 doesn't perform well compared to 4GB RAM of Galaxy S7.. 6P comes with SAMSUNG RAM.
8. Stock OXYGEN OS is Buggy based on online reviews I've read. But my friend owns OP3 and he doesn't have any problems with oxygen os until now.
9. The display quality in terms of resolution does not provides a good user experience for VR which is a cons.
10. Its 2K16 and they still provide device with 1080P resolution.

Hello all
Been a flash addict for years now, and have always loved Nexus line of phones. This last year I got the LG V10 (preordered) instead of the 6P.
I am still using my V10 and have very few real complaints with it. But I miss being able to root
I see the deal on Beat Buy for a refurb 32G 6P ~$315 and want to pull the trigger.
Would you guys pull the trigger on this phone, having used it the last X amount of months already? I want to have a phone I can enjoy, flash anything on, and still at the end of the day enjoy as much as my V10
Thx for the input!
Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk
Most definitely. I love stock Android and the fact that I'm already using Android n and will have the final official version months before. Overall I like Samsung hardware/design but their downfall is 5+ month wait for updates and the fact that touchwiz starts to lag. That in my opinion is unacceptable. I also love the stereo speakers and the big screen. Overall it's the perfect package at least for me

Thank you!
I am blessed with a great camera on the V10. However even though it's one of the most vanilla OS skins LGs UI has begun to lag horrendously over the last couple months.

The 6p is the best phone I've ever had. I don't even look at, or shop for other phones and I don't think I will for a while. The only thing it sucks at, imho, are macro photos.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Definitely. One detraction: thermal throttling SUCKS on there 6p. Until you root and change there thermal settings, gaming is crap. Otherwise, love it!
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I'll be honest with you, and I doubt many people would feel the same way I do, but I recently bought a 6p (simply because of the ridiculous price I managed to snag it at) which I use as a travel phone and something to store my offline Spotify playlists on.
My main phone is an S7 Edge, begrudgingly bought as the Note 5 wasn't released in the UK and I had previously used a Note 4.
After playing around with the 6p, I find myself gravitating towards it.
It's a fantastic phone, don't get me wrong- it's huge, but it's freakin' incredible.
I'm genuinely considering swapping my sim over to my 6p and leaving the S7 Edge on the side.
The only thing that keeps me with the S7 is the camera, however, I can't fault the 6p.
It's a great phone.
I'd highly recommend it.
Oh also, I'm running the Android N Dev preview.
It's FANTASTIC.
Just my opinion
As someone who has bought and sold over half a dozen phones in 2 years, I dumped my Note 4 for the 6P and haven't looked back. I've had it for about a year now, and I have no desire to get anything else. The others all left me wanting in some way, but I'm thoroughly impressed with the 6P. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if I had to, it's definitely worth the price.

Bought mine late (a few months ago) after my LG G4 died twice (boot loop error and wifi issues, and my wife's G4 is doing the same now). I wouldn't think a phone that has been out this long would still be on top, but this thing is great. I have no issue with the camera (yes, its slow in HDR, but it has to process the image), the fingerprint sensor is a must-have (my first phone with one), and the size is perfect. Its big, but not too big. Screen is awesome too. My only issue is with the bluetooth, and its just minor stuff, but I'm not a heavy BT user to begin with. Battery is amazing so far as well. I will not go back to LG for quite some time. I loved my G3, but the G4 was total garbage. The camera was good, but waaaaaay overprocessed by their software.
The 6P is a total winner
I got mine as a gift (yeah I know) in July. I love this phone. Yeah, granted gameplay isn't the greatest for me. For graphic intense games stutter quite a bit and battery life isn't the greatest (I think this phone might be defective), but vanilla Android has been the way to go for me. The HTC 10 would've been my next choice though. So in short, yes I would definitely buy this phone.
Thank you all for the input. I am hoping that best buy will still be offering the refurb 32g at the $315 price point next week when I get paid... Does anyone know if it will still be up at that point?
I find myself wanting this phone more now that I know it can be had, I wanted this phone when it was released. I will definitely pull the trigger if the deal is still going next week.
Thank you!

I think you could find a better price on swappa or similar. Amazon prime was selling them cheap. Not sure about the best by y promotion though, sorry

Definetely I would buy it again. On Nougat DP4 it's massive.
Absolutely. What other phone out right now today is as good as a high end pure Android phone ? Galaxy S7 Edge ? LOL no thanks. HTC 10 ? Been there done that was ok. OnePlus Three ? LOL nope. iPhone ? HAHA
My wife gifted me a 6P at Xmas last year to replace my aging HTC M7. I have to say this is the best phone I've had. However I would not purchase one tomorrow, it is far to close to the release of a new set of Nexus devices to even consider purchasing this phone right now. I would personally wait and do one of two things.
1. When the new Nexus comes out and if money isn't an issue I'd go ahead and pickup whatever replaces the 6p.
2. When the new Nexus comes out and if I wanted bang for buck I'd buy a heavily discounted 6p.

I was about to post a disappointed with 6p post in general but I'll start here instead. I LOVE Android and the phones and want to love the 6p but I just cannot keep it as my primary.
What I love:
Screen is beautiful
Battery life and charging speed are great
Speakers are really nice
Phenomenal cameras
Why I can't keep using it:
Phone conversation quality is just above terrible with headphones. I have constant complaints over the quality on the other end when I use any headphones, doesn't matter brand, style, etc. Would LOVE any fixes people have found.
The 810 is a horrible processor. I cannot believe how hot this phone has to get to just run average games. I live between the iOS and Android world, l just enjoy seeing what they both have to offer. My nearly 2yr old 6+ crushes the 6p in gaming, any game, any tweak, doesn't matter they just run better. On top of that using the thermal tweak to reduce, it doesn't get rid of, the gaming lag turns the phone into lump of hot coal. I can't comfortably take a call if I've been playing a game.
Ambient display, I've had to turn it off because no matter how I positioned my phone it would turn on in my pocket and I'd have a long typed up message of garble or something else very random on screen.
I so badly want to love this phone, it's a great size, I love Google integration, I love Android, I just can't use it as a daily driver.
Yes and no.
It's a great phone with a gorgeous screen and big display But..... The 810 Is horrible and throttles heavily, the build quality isn't great and the videos are horrible without OIS. I wouldn't buy it again at this point in time, I'd wait for the Note 7 or the next Nexus.

So to those of you who are still using this phone, what's your next jump? S8 S8+... Pixel 2, other?
I've really enjoyed this phone, but it's time to start thinking about the next upgrade. Oddly, I didn't actually unlock & root this phone. I think this is the first time I haven't done that with a phone. So that's not huge to me.
I personally think the Pixel 2 may be the next jump as I do enjoy the non bloatedness of these phones. I hope though that Google (as much as they charge) competes really well. With the S8 & iPhone 8 coming they have to.
Have any of you thought about your next phone from this one? Are you sticking with this one as long as you can & feel you'll be able to get a replacement that compares? I know for me, the whole buying this from Google & the price was a big factor. Unfortunately the price thin isn't going to happen again. The $475 I paid for this I fear is long gone unless I venture outside of the norm. OnePlus, LeeEco, Huawei, etc. Having Verizon though pretty much limits any of those options however.
it's too early to talking about next phone but between phone in store right now I interested to "moto z force", sadly just exclusive to the US market via Verizon and I'm not living in US! ?
Still very happy with the 6P. I'll probably keep using it as my main phone at least until the end of the year. Will mostly consider OnePlus and Pixel 2 when I'm ready to replace the 6P.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I think more and more the top of the line phones are just not necessary anymore. Once my 6p dies (which may be a while as I got a brand new replacement from them for the bootloop issue) I'll consider the Pixel 2 (or 3), but most likely I'll lean towards oneplus, or ZTE, or Honor, all of which have had great phones this year, for much less than the pixel.
Any phone that gives me a SD and fast updates.
It's time for Google to stop the no SD card crap.
I don't know if that's going to happen with the no SD thing. This is where I could see getting the S8 vs the Pixel 2 just to lower the price. 32GB phone then buy the card. Hell with all of the goodies Best Buy throws in I'd almost bet on some sort of freebie or two. Whether a wireless charger, SD card or VR headset. I can see something.
I bet the oneplus 4 or 5 or whatever they call it will be pretty good. I just wish more phones could be taken to Verizon. Leaves me with only a few options.

I'm holding out for the Pixel 2 myself, I have Project Fi so its practically the only choice I have for upgrading. I just hope it has some premium features like legit water resistance and a better looking design. I also hope they have enough in stock that I can order one because doubt my Nexus 6P will last that long around then.
Nothing thus far. The 6P already does everything I need to in addition to the large 3450 mAh battery, great screen, and awesome speakers.
Don't think shelling out a few hundred dollars is worth it for under the hood specs that I would barely notice like opening an app milliseconds faster. It's not like my 6P is unable to do what the newer gen phones can do.

That "large" battery is one of the worst in recent smartphone history.
I'll be jumping ship to the s8+ and maybe come back to Google when they don't try and sell a budget phone for a stupid price like with the Pixel.
The only thing I'll miss from the 6p is the speakers.

The 6P battery has been excellent to me, I can't speak for anyone else. It compares to my Droid Turbo that had a 3900 mAh battery. It could be "worse in history" to you, but it has been nothing short of stellar to me. It has absolutely exceeded my expectations given that I've read mixed reviews regarding the SD810.

I have an iPhone 7 plus as well as my nexus 6p, and it is actually ridiculous how much longer the 7 plus lasts. I feel like I can drain my 6p just by looking at it. The real problem with android is idle drain, it is freaking ridiculous.

That's a shame. Products aren't always perfect for everyone. There's always those with bad experiences such as with cars, electronics, etc. I'm talking based on MY experience, not from what I've read, heard, seen, etc. I KNOW based on my experience that I can rely on my phone being at 50% by bed-time, so there's no reason for me to complain about that.
Maybe your next phone will fare better for you.

Ever since I took the nougat update my battery life has sucked. I love the phone, but had to go back to the 7 edge. I'd love to give the Apple 7+ a try. Haven't been on an Apple device in years. The Samsung 8 plus it's very tempting.

Sounds like you're platform agnostic like me Best way to be. Too much good tech out there to get caught in fanboyism
We've thought about waiting for the iPhone 8. The wife & I have yet to own an iPhone. Her only thought was she already has so many Android apps. I'm kind of the same where I don't want to dump a bunch of $ on a new platform. Get the S8 or Pixel 2 & I've already got the apps I use & have paid for.

Ya, I try to keep an open mind. I wish my pocket book could handle it though lol. Honestly I loved my LG g4, just hated the battery life. I'm kind of finding the 5.5" screen size around my liking. The only thing I hate about the s7 edge is how curved the sides are. It sounds like the s8's will have less of a curved screen. The pixel XL always send to be out of stock in the 128gb version.
