Hey!
I've sold my Note 7 and I am looking to buy a new one the Nexus 6p or the Pixel XL.
considering the battery life!
another question I know the Nexus 6P come with 3GB of RAM while the Pixel XL come with 4GB.
Is there a big difference?
thanks,
I used my 6p for about 7 months. It is on of the best phones I ever used. However the Pixel XL which I have pre ordered has the Snapdragon 820 which is a much better processor than the 810 from the 6p. The Pixel XL should have better battery life and the camera will be much faster. As a whole the Pixel will be the better phone but the 6p should be a good value for the money based on how much the Pixel's cost.

The Pixel has the 821, which is an unknown processor.

820 was a typo. The 821 is a known processor. It is a higher binned 820. It should be higher clocked but the Pixels have them clocked lower like the 820 most likely for better battery life.
I'm getting rid of my 6P. There are a number of things I am not 100% satisfied with about it.
But I know others that love their 6P to death.
So each to their own.

it wouldn't be much of a difference..still no waterproof, speakers on the bottom, no expandable storage, smaller screen, same battery capacity and thats all I can think of
No matter how much of a pig the 810 is, with day to day use there'll be little or no difference with the underclocked 821. There's just not much of an upgrade in the Pixel.
if you have enough mony buy pixel xl if not nexus 6p

The Pixel phones are supposed to have a version of 7.1 that has been specifically optimized for the Pixel hardware for consistent performance throughout the OS and Google claims the Pixel phones have the best touch latency of any Android phone, so you may have a faster more refined experience on the Pixel phones.
The 821 SoC also has "two phase detectors" that give significant improvement in focussing quality and time for the camera. The cameras video stabilization looks much, much better than the 6P too, based on comparison videos a Reddit user provided.
The Pixel phones also have a superior quality DAC (Qualcomm Aqstic), so you'll probably get superior sound quality when listening to sound through the 3.5mm jack.
I love my nexus 6p but I'm outside a lot and in my opinion the screen sucks outside and for my my Bluetooth sucks with my car and headsets .... I had a note 7 awesome display I mean best I've seen and besides it's one downside touchwiz ok well maybe the exploding could be an issue as well lol jk so needles to say that got returned. So for me I'm going to try the pixel xland of the screen and Bluetooth are much better then my 6p I'll be sold but if not I may just stick with the 6p it really is a great phone

I had no major bluetooth issue with mine. I used it everyday to listen to audio books via bluetooth driving to and from work.
Nexus 6p will likely get Android M then it will lose official updates from Google.
Don't get me wrong here I loved my 6p and was by far the best Android phone I had revert used. I have photos that I took that I would have been proud of even if I took it with a 35mm SLR. I sold it when the pixel xl first came out but not because i was dissatisfied in any way but solely because I like having new toys and i probably have more money than brains. Lol.... I'm now stuck using my old Nexus 6 pos till the 20th and deep down I'm expecting an improvement equal to the improvement over the last several Nexus devices. If the pixel shows the same jump as the 6p did from the 6 I will be doing backflips lol...

Pixel XL if you have the $ get the google store version it has unlocked bootloader and all carriers
I'd like to thank all of you guys for these pieces of advice. I think I am going to pick the Pixel XL.
:good:
Tnx for all notes.

What are you smoking! It already has 7.0 Nougat and will get 7.1 in December!
I'd honestly say get which ever one fits in your budget. Pixel will be better in most areas, such as camera, performance, touch latency, battery life, RAM etc. However, the 6P is still a mighty device, with build quality being fantastic, still snappy, camera is very nice (from the pics i've seen with it), 3GBs of RAM is still plenty today. Battery life & touch latency will most certainly be better on the Pixel, but I can't comment on specifics since I only have a Nexus 6 (not 6P). If the Nexus 6P is anything like my 6 battery life wise, I'd say it should be fine. I use ElementalX, Tupac4u's debloated ROM, and Greenify on my Nexus 6, all of which are available on the 6P and my battery lasts all day.

Hey guys!
So I currently have a Galaxy S6 from Verizon, and I am deeply disappointed with it. Since my bootloader is locked, I can't flash any ROMs to improve my terrible battery life. (1.5 hrs SOT, power saving location, power saving mode, auto brightness, etc. Phone still needs to be charger 2 times a day). I was thinking of either getting the OP3 or the Nexus 6P? Is anyone in the same boat as me? I'd love to bounce some ideas around and see what other's recommend.
Since this is oneplus 3 section, I think everyone will say you should get op3. I'd get it myself. Looks a lot better device.

I'm selling my Nexus 6P to buy a OnePlus 3. For me it's all about the dual SIM. Here's what I'll miss about the Nexus 6P (Great phone): QHD display. Stereo speakers at each end of the phone. Also the fingerprint sensor is great: works every time (unlike many I have tried). I hope the OP3 fingerprint sensor will be as good.

Nice, hope you like the OP3! The dual SIM doesn't matter to me, since I only travel internationally once every 2 years or so. Yeah, I feel you on the screen. I'm going to miss the camera and screen of my S6 for sure. From the videos and reviews I've seen/read, it seems like the fingerprint scanner is very good. Seems to function better than that of the S6.

Sorry, I should've clarified. The nexus is on sale in America right now. The 64 GB is going for 480 (however 32 is more than enough for me.)
I'm also considering to sell my 6p to buy the OP3. I have been kind of disappointed in the 6p because of the screen and battery life. My screen goes from a pink bottom to a yellowish top. I'd rather have a good 1080p screen then a bad QHD screen. And like somebody mentioned in the EU I can sell the 6p without paying much extra to get a brand new op3.

You should get 350-400 euro`s on Marktplaats for your 6P depending on the storage size.
I am confused too. I own a 64gb Nexus 6p. Disappointed with sd810. Heats too much while gaming. But the quicker official android updates and dual front firing speakers are awesome. I''' loose better camera too. Though I'll get sd820 and 6gb ram and I will make profit if I sell my 6p and buy op3. Really confused :-/
The problem is mainly the size and price. You get a bit smaller device for less money. Actually i dont like 810 serie, so i would probably stick to OP3 since they open to modding after errors with OP2. Probably 6P is better on CAM+Speakers and MAYBE screen.
I also have a Nexus 6P.
- It's REALLY big.
- I don't like the back fingerprint sensor
I'm considering to switch to the OP3 too..... but Nexus updates are every month and i would like to have android pay work with a rooted phone.....

In the same boat bro. Tell me if you make any decision. I can profit by selling 6P and buying Op3 currently.
What I'll miss if I switched is stereo speakers and quick latest updates !
I was happy with my 6p for a bit, then the crappy aluminum(bent near the charging port) and screen brightness got to me. Should not have to root to see the thing outdoors.
+battery life sucked on mine (usually had trouble getting 3 hours SoT, i get 6 from my mate 8 in the same usage and 10 when using it at home)

If you want to sell it because of screen issues, then I will advice you to wait for reviews of the screen on the Oneplus 3 to see if it has no isues.
Beside the battery i would say that the 3 wins nearly ever, aspect.
The problems i have with the nexus is that they are released only a short period before qualcom releases jts new CPU and then i always want to wait to get a devoce with the new cpu.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask if you could help me decide which phone to get for Christmas.
I am currently owning a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Mtk) but the lack of development is driving me crazy. It's not a bad phone at all but still sticking to Android 5.0 or 5.1 in times of Android 7.0 is a nightmare for me who loves to have the newest OS for testing.
So my question would be: what phone should I buy with a Budget of maybe 400-450€. Is the oneplus 3 the phone to go with in terms of futureproof Updates or should I go for the Nexus 6p which apparently has a better Screen but only has the SD810 ? What would you buy? Reasons?
Thanks in advance
I was torn between the two a few weeks ago but went for the OP3 due to its size. :angel:
The 6P is just too big at the end of the day. :crying:
Its a really difficult future to predict. On one hand, you should defiantly go for the 6P due to its instant updates. On the other hand, Google may lessen there support for Nexus devices as there focus has changed with the Pixel. The 3GB of RAM and SD810 is also concerning.
The OP3 is a fantastic phone with blistering performance. If you buy this, you do so accepting that you will always be at least 6 months behind what is happening on the 6P. 2 years down the line however, the tables may turn due to the superior hardware of the OP3.
If you change your phone often, maybe the 6P is the way to go. If you don't, the OP3 is probably a better bet.
Thanks for your answer.
Maybe if the rumors are true Oneplus will present the 3+ till the end of the Year and this will lower the price of the 3, but I guess I will go for this phone as its Hardware in comparison to its price is unbeatable and I think the big Community is making the lack of instant Updates good.
Hope to see a fully working CM14 here soon

Good call Olli,
I'd go for the current OP3 as the OLED screen is really nice and would be better than an LCD especially if they don't upgrade the battery.

That's true even when they would Upgrade to SD821 and 2k Display. Because HD looks just as good.
Those rumors are already confirmed by Carl Pei to be false.
There won't be "refresh" version of OP3, next OP phone will be OP4.
Also OP will stick with AMOLED, they're done with LCD.
About your dilemma: I'd say OP3 is the best option in this price range. Community support is as good as for Nexuses and soon this will matter a lot more than official support.

OnePlus 3 has better performance in all areas, Nexus 6P takes better pictures (particularly in low light)
If you must have Nougat now, go with the nexus. I very much doubt there's a new OnePlus device due any time soon, and even if there was I don't think a significant price cut is on the cards (margins where thin enough to require a £20 rise at the beginning of sterlings collapse).

Is the OP3 performance better than the 6P or is it better than the 6P just because you can leave loads of apps in RAM and therefore have 0 launch time on the OP3?
It does beg the question.......What would a device be like with a SD410 and 16GB RAM? The slow SD410 may not seem slow as all apps could be left in RAM. The SD410 is also excellent when it comes to battery life.

I'm not even taking RAM and app re drawing into account. The OnePlus 3 is noticeably faster (especially the camera app)
I think i'll go with the OP3 as its more futureproof in my Eyes thank you all

I have seen speed test OP3 VS 6P and the OP3 smokes the 6P. This is when you are loading apps initially.
Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on these forums. Currently on my Nexus 6P but looking to upgrade.
I've loved the use of stock & clean android. As well as regular updates and a decent camera. I'm interested in the pixel 2 XL but have seen a lot of bad press about issues.
What is the general consensus on the phone? Would the OnePlus give me a similar android experience? It's supposed to be getting a decent camera too and cost £499. Was interested in people's views!
Cheers!
The only real difference is if you want a really good rom community or if camera is more important.
It's simple If you want better camera with some rom support or root. Get the google 2xl..if you want rom support then go one plus 6

There's a thread on this somewhere on XDA if I'm not mistaken. The opinions I've seen are kinda like the ol Ford vs Chevy debate back in my day. The best summation I can give would be.....
If you want fast, regular security updates and arguably the best camera out there, then the P2XL is the call.
If you want more development, larger ram capacity, and an OK-good camera, then the OP6 is what your looking for.
Again, this is a very short synopsis

Along with horrible QC, the avg replacement device being 4 (not for blue shift either) lol(I'm on replacement #8). It's no longer the best camera. Stereo speakers are pretty meh, stock has it's pros but a crap ton of cons. Op gets fast updates as well lol, squeeze google assistant isn't a deal breaker. Google photos is like 3.00 a month for 100gb, the "free" isn't that impressive. No doubt pixel 2 xl isn't the obvious choice anymore lol. Also OP is 300.00 less lol and better build quality.

Well I bought 1 and I'm happy, there's blue shift but hopefully not so much. To me it's the best on HDR and that's why I bought it too. Well the best stereo speakersare those from ipx and i8p , and to me those on pixel are ok . Fast updates it's on the same week to me. Squeeze isn't a deal breaker but a nice feature. No Google photos are free and the full quality. Don't get me wrong I got op5t too,
But to me the pixel it's much "smarter" then the others mobiles
12 mp photos are free from any phone anyway, never quite understood this "benefit" with the pixel phones.

Interesting to see some of these replies! Pretty much the debate I'm having in my head haha. I love my Nexus as it's as great now as it was on day one... No bloatware and up until Oreo 8.1 fast updates.
I think for me the camera is hugely important. If one plus can release a camera that is better than the pixel 2 XL ... Then that may do it for me! Good to here they have fast(ish) updates too. Rumours are OnePlus 6 will have a triple digit dxomark I think!

All of the above pros for the Pixel XL 2... it's a gold mine of goodies!
both phones are great, but the pixel 2 XL is definitely a bit better in several ways
Loved my Nexus 6p and if it wasn't for the battery issues I'd probably still have it however I do really like the pixel. I don't really see the issues that have been reported. If you can afford both phones then the pixel is the one for me

Dxo mark rating doesn't really mean that much it is same as running a performance benchmarks like antutu etc
See, pixel has only one camera and still scored the highest but all these phones s9+ p20pro have 2 or 3 camera henceforth the triple digit figures
If pixel had secondary camera such as telephoto then it would also had a 100+ score
If you want to compare the dxo mark ratings then compare the main lens rating on their site
P20 pro vs pixel 2xl on youtube evry video in the end says they would go with pixel because it is consistent

I think the same and all the videos that I saw the HDR it's always better on pixel 2,
Better portrait on the market
Better HDR on the market
2nd or 3rd on low light, even though I still think pixel got it better.
Better color accuracy
Etc etc
The only one thing that the pixel camera doesn't do it better, it's the zoom , well that's normal with only one camera

I use to change roms every week but now I do prefer stability and security.
One plus got 8.1 and I'm already on 9.0 that's a huge difference, and Will be always like that.
If oneplus 6 support VZW...bye bye Pixel 2 XL. The oneplus is a quality, low profile/thin bezel phone with great dev support from their company and online on XDA. They won't say if they are going to support VZW yet, but heard they are looking for a US partner in the coming 6 months. The Pixel 2 XL is so bulky, thick top/bottom space, and the features of the OS are lagging behind a few things that the OnePlus Beta 5T phone currently has that the 6 will have baked in, like fling/nonav bar gestures like iPhone. They've had it for months in the beta, all the apps are scaled to use the screen space without the bar...not such thing in the standard Android/Pixel OS builds, and then, not done at all or very well. I know devs try their best, but it isn't proper.
Only thing about OnePlus is the camera, next one should be much better hopefully. But then again, unless it works on Verizon...doesn't really matter, and my choices are limited for modding/bootloader unlocking etc..to the Google phone really, or HTC.
Thanks very much for all the advise guys! Great to see arguments for both phones haha!
Currently can get the Pixel 2 XL for £600 from carphone warehouse. The OnePlus 6 is likely to be £500.
I think the make or break for me is going to be the camera. I'll wait and see what the camera is when the OnePlus 6 is officially announced on 16th may. If the camera is better that may sway it for me, if not I'll get the pixel 2 XL!
I have a 6p 32gb for now, thought about upgrading and I don't want to wait for the Pixel 3, so I have 2 options and I want your opinions.
In terms of storage, I don't really need 128gb, 64 is just enough, though the Pixel offer is only for 128
Pixel has better camera, faster updates, water resistant, and dual speakers. Oneplus is cheaper, has a bigger screen with notch ?, newer processor, and better battery life, also 3.5mm jack. So it depends on what you want out of your phone.
Pixel 2 XL. It's going to be updated for 3 years.
For me, the continued updates are very important.
If OP6 supported Verizon, I would move back to them in a second. The devs and support are as good as anybody, and they support bootloader unlocking. They've had some issues with customer support at times, like the cc fraud problem, otherwise, they are posed to continue good success. Camera isn't that big of a deal to me personally if the Pixel is slightly better. The case, near edge less top bottoms and sides make it more comfortable and better looking as well. Loved my 5t.
Would recommend pixel 2 XL.
I was in same dilemma too few weeks back. After looking at colleagues op6 and pixel 2 xl, went with pixel 2 xl. A very hard choice for me as choosing a single sim pixel 2 xl vs dual sim op6 (always favored dual sim before).
For me, I liked the pixel 2 xl display, sound and camera much better than op6. I also got info from colleagues that battery life us better in pixel 2 xl than op6.
I am happy with pixel 2 xl now.

I'm using both and think the Pixel 2 XL is a better daily user. Everyone's opinion is different - depends on hand feel, usability, screen, speed, etc.
The Pixel does it ALL....
Thank you guys
2xl it is

Partly agree with your thought process.
Another thought process is high cost mobile may always outperform low cost mobiles overall. So pixel 2 xl will come out better overall anyway than OP 6 right.
Check out the review of OP 6 whose UI fluidity is worse than pixel 2 xl surprisingly even for me (expected better UI fluidity in OP 6 due to less resolution screen and better processor than pixel 2 XL). Other areas of speed tests do resulted in good in op6 though.

You liked the display no offence the pixel has a inferior display.
Camera smashes the op6 out of the park

<sarcasm>Oh my, chime in on the horrid blue shift and terrible colors of the Pixel 2 XL.</sarcasm>
Better yet, don't. Both issues are totally overrated. If you really think the FHD display of the OP6 with notch is superior to the QHD screen of the P2XL without notch then whatever drugs you are on must be really good.

Hmmm, not sure about inferior or superior spec. But I like the display of pixel 2 xl more than op6 one (not sure it is due to resolution may be, people say 1080p is sufficient but my eyes are demanding more) My s9+ display on other hand feels good than pixel 2 xl though.
I think that Pixel's display is superior to OP6's, Google did a lot lately to improve the colors and reduce the blue tint. I had S8+ and when comparing those two, the amount of blue tint was the same on both. It was visible on Pixel a couple of degrees earlier, but that was pretty much it.
Maybe I am just lucky with my Panda 128GB...
Get the pixel 2 xl coz when the 3 comes out you can trade in the 2 for up to 500$ you'd only be losing a 100$ or so. That's what did i picked a 128 panda used pixel 2 xl in mint conditions off swappa for 570$.
I own both. I'm selling the op6. I told myself I'd never try another option device but bought one anyway. Every opportunity device I've owned has had some odd hardware issue and none of them were the same. Also the UI had some odd behaviour even though it looks stock.

I am not sure why everobody (I mean all the reviewers) calls OnePlus software stock..I feel it's far from stock...their settings page design is still struck at Android 7 days...

I am not from the us as you can probably see
Hi pixel users,
I want to learn if you are having same thoughts like me. I want to replace my 2017 pixel 2xl but never convinced by any brand that is real update. Google camera( only photo not video) always makes me stick with my device. Pixel 3xl was never upgrade when it first released. Oneplus 7 is still behind when competing the camera. Pixel 4 will be bazel king still and it is not sold in my country Turkey. Galaxy phones are always washed out camera and bad battery with exynos. Huavei having problem with Google so hard to trust. So another year with pixel 2xl probably.
I've had similar conclusion. Pixel 3 - ugly, Pixel 4 - looks like it's gonna be ugly too. OnePlus phones are the closest competitors in my eyes with their clean software and continued long Android updates, but camera still isn't on Pixel level and water and ingress protection isn't IP certified. Samsung's software isn't for me and their update cycle is terrible.
So Pixel 2 for my wife and Pixel 2 XL for me are still one of best phones out there for us, while it's getting Android updates I won't be changing them soon.
These of course are subjective thoughts.

I'm waiting for the OnePlus 7T, should be released around Thanksgiving
Same here. I thought I might have gotten the Pixel 4 but the 2 XL has just been too perfect for me to think about updating.
Pixel 4 XL would be the way to go
I need good camera, so only pixel, samsung or Huawei. I tired of big phones, so thinking about s10e. People talks what oneUI is good and clean like stock and I like what s10e has flat sreen.
I like, what 1.5 year old pixel is fast like new.

I agree with that!
I wish everyone would stop making tall skinny phones already. I love my 2xl performance wise, but sorely miss my Nexus 6 screen. That was the PERFECT size phone. It's bezels are close in size to the 2xl. If only the guts were easily swapped between the two of them!

While I love my P2XL and 3aXL, I would get behind an updated Nexus 6 in a heartbeat! Next to the HTC M7, the Nexus 6 was my absolute favorite device. Would love to get that phone's body with upgraded internals (really wish it was possible to update your device to newer hardware without changing the outside).

I thought to buy one but battery and camera performance is worse then pixel trust me. Size is perfect but has some disadvantages. It ıs also important which region you are from. SD is a lot better than exynos.

I really think that it will be future proof but bezels is making me think and the worst part is the region. It is not sold in my country Turkey. I have a bit hope for this year. They may start selling because 3a and 3axl are great alternatives for Turkish market. I would probably go for pixel 4 if I can.

Camera will be ok, I had samsung top line and I know Samsung's camera.
Yes battery worse, that's main disvadvantage for me.

I'm starting to see a lot of these opinions about the 2xl. Mine has been one of the best phones I've owned. Oneplus 7 pro or pixel 4 are the only phones I would consider.
