i want to buy new phone after nexus 4 so should buy one plus 3 or nexus 6p and why
Oneplus 3. Nexus is quite a bit more expensive and doesn't provide too many goods to make it worth the price.
Wait for the OnePlus 3T (to be announced this 15th november).

Even at the same price I'd still recommend the OnePlus 3. It's more future proof in terms of specs and currently has one of the biggest communities of developers actively working on it. And even if you do decide to stick with OxygenOS, it's pretty damn close to stock Android anyways.

ofc the only benefit of buying a nexus device is that google provides new android version half a year before any other brand and all other devices must wait till source gets released. but other than that the hardware is not good enough. if you are not into high performance games and want allways newest android version first then go for nexus. but you get better hardware for better cost if you go for oneplus ( buy oneplus3 t)

Couldn't have put it better myself
I have both. There are a few things that may sway a decision. The 6P has nougat source and the available 7.X ROMs reflect that. This isn't a shot at anyone developing here, they just don't have it, or even a stock base to work with. If you like back fingerprint scanners you might lean toward the Nexus, if you're like me and don't that would favor the 3. Updates favor the 6 as mentioned already. The 3 is easier to handle without the massive bezels. The speakerphone through the 6 is very loud if need be and can be easily heard over background noise like a TV. In that regard the 3 is not bad at all but is outgunned by the 6 speakers.
For myself I was tired of keeping up two phones and wanted to move to a dual SIM. That combined with the fact that after several backside fingerprint scanners I'm starting to hate them the move was an easy one to make. I don't miss the 6P, it was and is a great device but the 3 is punching well above its cost.

if it was for reading and watching video content I prefer 6p. bigger screen, bigger resolution, dual facing speakers
I had the same dilemma, but couldn't get hold of a 6p so went for the op3. Awesome phone with new community builds coming thick and fast. I love mine :laugh:
Nexus 6p all day, every day. Better camera, better quality, better software better battery, better everything.
I think you forgot the hardware in nexus it's sucks

Dude you can be a fanboy but don't lie... The 6P has a better camera, screen with dual front facing speakers and that's about it. The OnePlus 3 trump's it in battery life, it destroys it in absolute performance and is much quicker, has much more RAM that can be used without the processor overheating (S810 overheats like crazy, if someone says otherwise, they do not know what they are talking about). The OP3 doesn't snap in half like a cookie when bent, not to mention the fact that the rear glass over the camera cracks extremely easily. The fingerprint scanner is WAY faster on the OP3 Than the 6P. Camera in daylight is better but low light the 6P Is better, but the difference is surprisingly low. For OP, if you are any sort of power user at all and you do a lot of multi tasking or gaming for example, you will have to get the OP3 as the 6P slows down massive as the CPU goes from using the A57 core at 2.0ghz to not being able to use them and going to the garbage A53 cores to do the task which lead to lag and stutter. Not to mention when browsing the 6P is locked to the A53 cores because it'd overheat otherwise and because of this browsing is super slow. Last but not least, the OP3 beats it in audio quality outputted from the headphone jack, it's louder and has wider soundstage while sounding more crisp (you can really notice it in the base) and clean

Both dope phones boils down to (no pun intended) SD810 vs SD820 and fastest updates + source vs delayed updates + source
Personal preference really if updates matter to you go for the 6P if not will not be disappointed by the OP3
I had a 6P and switched to the Oneplus 3. I was sick of carrying an iPhone 6s for work and a 6P for my personal line. The dual sim capability is incredibly convenient but I would imagine not something that most people end up needing. Other than that here are my thoughts:
Speakers: 6P. If only for the placement. Maybe I am holding it wrong but I always seem to cover up my speaker when holding the phone in landscape mode. It sounds just fine otherwise. Most of the time I use earbuds anyway.
Camera: Tie. No real world difference for me. Both are great.
Fingerprint Sensor: OP3. Location is better when it's sitting on my desk, screen side up. It is also much faster than the 6P.
Buttons: OP3. I HATED the volume rocker location on the 6P. I was constantly changing volume when holding the phone in portrait mode and typing or whatever. This really annoyed the sh!t out of me. Also having the volume buttons on the opposite side of of the power button is better in my opinion. The notification slider is convenient, too.
Signal Strength: OP3 easily. I have a T-Mobile sim in sim1 and Verizon in sim2. The reception on T-Mobile sim is certainly better on the OP3. Not the case with the Verizon sim because of band compatability.
Feel: OP3. This thing feels more premium than the 6P...if that matters to you. It's also easier to hold.
Software: 6P. For the speed and guarantee of updates but OP3 Nougat will make this a tie. Nova Launcher though. And I don't care for rooting and ROMs anymore.
Screen: 6P? Yes it's more clear but really the OP3 screen is all I need in terms of size and resolutionw. One thing the 6P has going for it though is a totally flat screen. This makes screen protectors easier to apply without the ring around the edges.
Battery: OP3. Probably due to screen size and resolution. Also probably due to the reception being better. And Dash Charging is faster than Rapid Charging on the Nexus.
If I think of more, I will add to this post.
Hello,
I currently have a Huawei Mate 9 and I'm thinking take the Snapdragon 835 bandwagon.
Three devices were on my list, but 2 are almost discarded.
- Mi Mix 2. Design is great, but average camera and too dim screen are a no go.
- Razer Phone. I would love that 120Hz screen (I own a high refresh rate monitor and love it), but the screen is just 5.7", I like M9's 5.9", but I think the ideal for me is around 6.0"- 6.5".
So, I'm left with 5T, which I think is a overall great phone, but for those who came from Huawei Mate 9, is it really an upgrade? Does it really fully replaces a Mate 9?
I like M9's size and form factor, camera is very good, and I think that its bright and colorfull IPS LCD display to be very good.
But I do miss having a SD 835 powered Smartphone.
I really like my Mate 9 when I had it, good battery life, no lag... Only reason for my switch was EMUI updates and no persistent notifications on lockscreen.

Now that you moved to 5T, do you miss anything from Mate 9?
Take note that the mate 9 does get treble support while the OP5T won't. Also remember that aspect ratios are important when talking about screen area, where the mate 9 has a much bigger surface than the 5T due to its aspect ratio even if they have the same diagonal length.
The 5T is a really good phone nevertheless, but I am not sure how much of an upgrade it is in other quality of life departments it could be.

What is wrong with 18:9? Is the phone physically too narrow/tall or are the black bars that bothers you?

I have both Mate 9 and oneplus 5t now. I like mate 9 for the aspect ratio 16:9 and the SD card. I like the development of the oneplus 5t. If I have to keep one I will choose mate 9.

Nothing is wrong with 18:9, just preferred 16:9 for gaming and web browsing. The frequent software update and near pure Android experiences makes up for the IR blaster for TV and screen aspect ratio. The SD835 is enough to convince you to change phones.
Snapdragon 845 is around the corner.
I just came from having a Huawei Mate 8 and had it for two years works perfectly and was a great phone. I loved the size and form factor and had the same problem I couldn't find anything to upgrade to. I think there's too little development for Huawei. My Mate 8 was still running Android 6. I did find the battery and screen on time better on the Huawei. Thought the screen size on the 5t is smaller and more narrow I actually much rather the feel in the hand and how compact it is in the pocket etc. I was in the same situation I wanted something with a headphone jack, decent screen size and battery that could put custom roms on, so went for the OnePlus 5t in the end.
Just think the power settings on Huawei are better being able to prevent apps from running at all while not in use is good as the battery life I'm getting is pretty poor. I could get two days out of the Mate 8 and would only just get one day from the 5t. Without being able to stop apps properly the battery just drains with hardly any use.

Thanks for the replies so far.
Reading all the posts, looks like 5T is a small step up from Mate 9 generally speaking. There are goodies (eg. development) and compromises (eg. 18:9).
I'll try a 5T if I find a used one for a good price.

Most flagships from 2016 will not be a big leap to the 5T. I think you have to look at all the unique offerings of the 5T to see if you think it would be a good fit for you.
Some people cannot live without beautiful AMOLED screens. And the dev support on the OnePlus phones is top notch.
Some people hate 18:9 aspect ratios. And can't stand proprietary charging methods (even if they are faster than any other phone).

Makes sense.
AMOLED screens:
Personally, by a small margin, I preffer good IPS LCD over Amoled as I'm more sensitive to poor whites on Amoled (where they are actually a gray shade on Amoled) than its deep Blacks (where they are a gray shade on IPS LCD). In both cases you get used to the display weakness and will just really see that difference when comparing side by side.
Dev Support:
Its nice to have a active community, but I'm not too much anymore on ROMs and etc, EMUI is good for me. But for the 5T, ROMs are really good because I think Pure Android is fast, really fast, but lacks a few things, so good ROMs fill in the gap.
18:9 aspect ratio:
I'm really used to 16:9 and I think they should not have changed it for a while, but I'm willing to try it these new options.
Proprietary charging methods:
Not a con for me, as I normally only charge my phones once a day, and never a original charger has failed or broke in my hands.

I know what you mean. But the color reproduction on Samsung's screens are fantastic, and the brightness is far better on AMOLED screens than on LCD, simply because of how the technology is used in real-world situations.

I still have my Mate 8 in addition to my 5T. A year ago, I was desperate for a new toy so I was looking at the Mate 8 and 9, and decided to get the 8. The 5T and Mate 8 are very different devices that they complement each other and I love both. But development was limited for the Mate 8 but I was able to get KangVIP ROM & black pyramid theme running on it which is cool. Mate 8 by far the hardest phone I've had for rooting/flashing. Soft bricked that thing more times than all my other devices alone.
I prefer the aspect ratio of the Mate 8, but the 5T is compact and sleek. Oneplus is just so much more robust development wise, which is why I went with the 5T. :good:

I like Amoled (had samsung galaxies from 1 to 4) then I switched to LG where displays on G2 and G3 were just OK, but I fell in love with those great whites compared to Amoled.
Moving forward, G4 had one of the best screens ever for me, but was plagued by severe burn-in, G5 display was dimmer and burn-in still an issue.
When I got it, Mate 9 set a new standard of display quality for me. Great colors, very good blacks, high contrast ratio and the brightest display I ever had.
So I think, whichever phone will be my next one, I'll be losing on display.

That may be true. Display does come down to personal preference a lot of the time. I did play with a Mate 9 at Best Buy once when I had my Pixel XL but it didn't look as good. Probably because I am used to AMOLED, lol.
Oneplus 5T has the adaptive screen mode that replicates true colours, pretty much identical as real life, or an IPS. I still have my Nexus 5, which by the time was praised by it's outstanding screen quality and colour accuracy, well, with that adaptive mode on the OP5T the whites are actually whiter, no bluish or orange tint to it, simply a perfect white. The colours seem dull but that's how real colours are.
AMOLED were praised at first for punchy vivid colours, I never liked it. Went to the OnePlus 5t and when I came upon that adaptive mode, I knew this was the best device ever released, a true worthy upgrade from my lovely and awesome Nexus 5.
A friend of mine has the mate 9, I have to say the screen is nice but nowhere close the OnePlus 5t has to offer.
I just wished OnePlus incorporated OIS on their sensors.. that's my only con
I have already been ridiculed for trying to compare the 6T to the a50,but the a70 looks to be a better match up
Thinking of changing my 6T this summer
Perhaps for a OnePlus 7,
Any thoughts on the a70
It will be cheaper but is it too big ?

Why exactly are you getting rid of your 6T? It's overall a great device and can easily last you for another year or even more?

Reasons to go a70
Better display
6.7 inch screen
Bigger Battery,4500mah with 25 watt quick charge
SD card Support
Always On Display
Triple Camera
Better Cameras 32+8+5
32 mp front camera
Not confirmed but probably newer in screen fingerprint tech
Headphone jack
Improved brightness
Fm radio
Lower SAR values(if it bothers u)
One UI has more features but still close to stock
Against A70
Snapdragon 675
No oxygen OS nearly stock
Frequency of updates
OnePlus community
To sum up,thre are definitely reasons to go with the A70 and I'm seriously considering swapping my 6T for one when it comes out here next week. Im not a gamer at all on Android so do I need the Snapdragon 845,not at all.I could use all the features on the a70 though but may well stay with my 6T regardless.

You make some good points and I agree with you. Regarding gaming I know you said you don't play them on the phone, but you shouldn't worry at all, A70 will play all the latest games no problem if you decide to play something. I tried some games on A50 and it had no problems running any, and A70 has even better specs!

Yes I believe this is true,the 675 is a great chip.I used a device with 660 and there was no problems whatsoever, Processors these days are typically great above the 660,
Still on the fence about the a70 though,have been looking at the reviews,many point out issues with the cameras,front and back
Would need these to be great if I'm gonna swap my 6T which has been performing a lot better with Gcam
After much research and scouring the internet for reviews and insight,
I have decided not to go with the a70,although it is a capable and attractive device with many features,there are some downsides that would be too annoying to live with,
Most notably the in display fingerprint sensor which looks like it's first generation tech
And the camera not quite fullfilling it's potential in terms of megapixel stated and lack of stabilisation,
It would not be worth me giving up my 6T for this device,
I will continue to try and find a decent mid range device with good if not excellent camera and features the a70 have,
It may take another year actually but certainly the mid range section is getting better all the time

You're making the right decision I've had a 6T and A70 and the 6T has a much better camera specially in low light which is the real weak point of the A70. Megapixels are just numbers and doesn't say anything about camera quality. The camera and fingerprint sensor are the two weakest points of this phone. I didn't like the fingerprint reader even in the 6T as I found it annoying but this one is even worse and I rely on face unlock and only use fingerprints for authorization in banking apps etc. However screen is better and battery life is much better.

Hi,
So far, I'd call that a really wise decision.
First, display is of course 6.7 inch... But with a 20:9 ratio, it looks tiny compared to the 6.9" of the mi Mix 3 I had before the A70.
Second, I seem to be allergic to AMOLED/SuperAMOLED technology. Display gets a really blue tint when tilted.
Third : battery life is real not on par with what I would expect from a 4500mAh battery.
Fourth : I am unable to use Super Fast Charging and I never had a device charging that slowly in the past 4 or 5 years...
Good I bought this device from Amazon and so can give it back within 30 days...
It is a disappointment, bercause on paper it had everything I am looking for.
Real life sometimes hits pretty hard
Regards.

Yea,seems to be a bit of a disappointment overall for this phone,glad I didn't go for it,shame because on paper it seems ideal
I'm getting great batterytime on mine.
But camera and fingerprint reader is not where it should be for the pricerange.
For example my Xiaomi MI 9 SE is cheaper and camera is way better, and fingerprint reader is also better, but like most in-screen readers it is still slow. But sure it lacks headphone jack and has shorter runtimes with its 3000mAh battery.
Overall the Mi 9 SE is a better phone for less money.

For example my Xiaomi MI 9 SE is cheaper and camera is way better, and fingerprint reader is also better, but like most in-screen readers it is still slow. But sure it lacks headphone jack and has shorter runtimes with its 3000mAh battery.
Overall the Mi 9 SE is a better phone for less money.

Hi,
Nice statement, but comparing a A70 and a mi9 SE is kind of pointless.
I don't think you can compare a 5.9" display phone with a 6.7" display phone.
Even if the rest is nearly identical.
Don't get me wrong.
I am a great Xiaomi fan.
If Xiaomi would have released a smartphone ABOVE 6.5" AND with a decent SoC, I would have gone for that immediatly.
But the only "phablet" in the Xiaomi range of products is the mi Max 3 (that I currently have) and that one does have a SD 636 and it has really horrible latency when you touch the display.
Regards.

Hi,
So far, I'd call that a really wise decision.
First, display is of course 6.7 inch... But with a 20:9 ratio, it looks tiny compared to the 6.9" of the mi Mix 3 I had before the A70.
Second, I seem to be allergic to AMOLED/SuperAMOLED technology. Display gets a really blue tint when tilted.
Third : battery life is real not on par with what I would expect from a 4500mAh battery.
Fourth : I am unable to use Super Fast Charging and I never had a device charging that slowly in the past 4 or 5 years...
Good I bought this device from Amazon and so can give it back within 30 days...
It is a disappointment, bercause on paper it had everything I am looking for.
Real life sometimes hits pretty hard
Regards.

Are you sure you have enabled fast charging in settings? Battery / Settings / Fast Charging With Cable.
Just a thought, mine charges from 10% to 100 % in about an hour and a half.
Do remember that 25w charging is only enabled when the screen is off or the AOD is activated. Whenever the screen is on, even on the lockscreen, it'll be limited to 6w.
After a year with the exynos s10+, I want to come back to OP.
I can't decide between the 7T and 7 Pro.
From what I know:
-7t has better battery and brightness
-7 Pro has 1440p
-7T is lighter and less bulky
-7 Pro has a pop up camera while the 7t has a tear drop a la 6T.
-7 pro has more custom roms and twrp while 7T has the rom I like most: renovate
-7t has a weird round protruding camera while the 7 pro has (way too) curved display.
So now I am lost, neither is the obvious choice.
Anyone has both or switched from one to another?
Curved display is horrid on pro I went to 7t from pro only reason not getting a 8

Did you notice the difference in screen resolution?

You wont notice any difference
In my experience the super high resolution displays are better when using the phones in VR headset. I tried watching VR contents in my friend's 7 Pro and I can see the difference when is watching the same VR content in my 7T. But I couldn't find any difference when using both phones for usual activities. In my option there's no need to buy 7 Pro for just the resolution thing.

I was a VR junkie before, now not at all, it's normal you will see a difference because VR lenses zoom like x5.
So for everything else we won't see a difference specially if we don't have perfect eyesight.
What about root?
Is it easy to root, flash a custom rom and update fw?
I grabbed the 7T for less than $500. Better battery. The teardrop camera, don't even notice it.
And, I don't even bother using the 90hz screen. I prefer the 60hz for battery life. I can't tell the
difference between the two, other than benchmark programs.
7 Pro has also renovate, it's what the dev own.
But I'd say 7 Pro if you care about custom ROMS and TWRP.
I got the Pro originally but hated the curved screen and all the reflections, yuck.
Got the 7T and it's great. Thought the teardrop notch would annoy but it doesn't - in fact it helps to see which way is up!

Did you feel the 7 Pro was more "premium"?
What about battery, which one has better battery life?
just want to know the answer

They seem equally premium to me. I only had the Pro for a day so can't comment on the battery.

Idk about the pro but this was with my 7T latest oos version with a custom kernel name Blu spark. Of course it will all depend on your usage.
7t. Its hard to look for a tempered glass for 7 pro. Moving camera is another thing that can break overtime.
I took a 7 pro in the end, I couldn't bare the water drop selfie cam
OnePlus 7T
I would go with OnePlus 7T, you don't notice the screen resolution difference. The biggest thing is to have 90Hz display, which both phones have. I don't know, the Motorized camera on the pro is worrisome. Even when looking at the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, I would prefer the 7T for the cheaper price and great performance.

If this is asked, I didn't see it but I wanted to ask the guys using the P6P before I decide which way I'm going, are you happy with the 6P or would trade down for the P6 Pro? And I ask this as someone who always goes with the bigger version (P4 XL, currently for example).
I'm guessing there are some of yo have test-driven both.
And if so, I'm curious about why or why not?? The extra $300 is a little harder to swallow 2 months after buying a house in an inflating economy...

I decided on the pro for the LTPO display and the 48 telephoto. I learned quickly that 120hz eats the battery so I keep it at 60 which helps a LOT.
Other than that if I had a choice to go back and save the 300 I probably would. It's not that much better. And the stereo speakers are not balanced AT all.

That's actually - at the moment - not true. There seems to be a strange bug.
Pixel 6 Pro Consuming More Power In 60Hz Mode Than In 120Hz One
The Google Pixel 6 Pro seems to be consuming more power in 60Hz mode, than it does in 120Hz mode. Needless to say, this is not normal, as higher refresh

I appreciate that. It's one of the reasons that I not sure which way to go, in that I don't need the enhanced resolution because I don't watch video on my phone or play games. It's just a nice feature to have it I guess but it's not a deal-breaker. The extra size is nice but mostly it's performance that I look for and from what I've read it's not a huge difference between devices.
Thanks for the input!

I'm very happy with the P6 Pro and don't want to miss it. I come from the Pixel 4 XL, so the new wide cam is a nice addition. Considering that the P6 Pro has a magnificent Tele zoom (better than the new IPhones), there is no way that I would go to the Pixel 6 non pro, certainly not for "just" 300 bucks. There are just too many arguments - that matter to me - that make the Pixel 6 Pro the better value for my money.
If we would live in a better world, the Pixel 6 would have the same size than the older "non" xl/pro versions - so in that case, if the Pixel 6 would be a small phone, I would maybe consider it. But since the Pixel 6 is as big as the P6 Pro...
Jea, nah. No.
My main reason for buying the Pro was because of the 512 GB storage model available only on the Pro. Bought one for both my wife and me.
If there was a 512 GB model available for the P6, I would've seriously considered it. I have no regrets buying the P6P, though.
welcome to the indecisiveness club. The pro has that curve which Im not sure about but on the regular 6 you loose that QHD display(my 2 XL has it) and loose telephoto. Hell I can't even decide if want either new device with the fingerprint complaints LOL.
I tried out both the 6 and the Pro over the weekend. Colour temperature of the screen was a bit different, but I couldn't see a difference in clarity (resolution) at arm's length. Small difference in phone size. The telephoto on the Pro was super nice, but the curved screen was awful - hit edge of screen when holding phone. I'm going to put on a case, which should help, but the feel in the hand and curved screen were enough to push me to save the $.
I'm on T-mobile, who theoretically have some mmwave coverage, but at least today I don't think I am going to miss those bands in real-time use (heck, the LTE bands barely penetrate my building).
If you like bigger, more development, and price point, then try the Pro...
I do have both phones. Wife murdering me ugh.
Ordered the Cloudy White Pixel 6 Pro originally, and had it delivered, and upon opening the box and looking over this super cool new phone, the curved edge display jumped out at me, not in a good way. The screen edges looked like an old Samsung Galaxy phone from years ago, just a dated look, and they add absolutely nothing useful to the phone. Feels more like a Samsung phone, not a Google Pixel.
Plus tapping on the phone or using the keyboard, there's this strange hollow feel behind the 6 Pro, hard to describe until you have it in your hands, but it feels sort of cheap.
I then went to T-Mobile, picked up a Seamfoam green Pixel 6, and my goodness, night and day better. Just feels rock solid, the FLAT screen a dream. This Pixel 6 feels more Google type, and just a nicer phone to hold and use.
But I will admit, the 6 Pro does feel slightly faster and smoother than the 6.
If you have to question if the extra $300 is worth it for the 6 Pro, just go for the 6. The 6 is the Pixel for most people anyway. I went with the 6 Pro because I want the best Google has to offer and the 6 isn't it. I'm a previous 2 XL and 4 XL owner.

And that's just it. I always go for the bigger model, but times are a little tough right now, which is the only reason I'm even debating one or the other

Lol this guy knows what he's talking about. I love the pixel 6 pro. When i walked into best buy 2 weeks ago, i instantly noticed a stark difference between it and the normal 6. The resolution difference is immediately noticeable. The smoothness, also instantly noticable. People that say they don't notice a difference between 90 and 120hz, well, all i can say is these people need their eyes checked. It's as obvious as night and day.
The biggest thing that left an unfavorable taste in my mouth, was how much the normal pixel 6 looks like a phone that was released in early 2018. Those. Massive. Antiquated. Bezels. Those bezels are simply to huge and gross. Also nobody seems to be pointing out the obvious. The build quality on the 6 looks very lackluster, and way less premium than the 6 pro . Just my two cents.
Do i wish the pixel 6 pro had a less curved screen? Sure, of course. After using the phone though, the curves are so appealing to the design asthetic, and it rests so ergonomically and beautifully in the hand. Google was also careful to design the curves to not refract light to much, or cause app padding/distortion. I love this device.
Many people or complaining about the fingerprint sensor and saying it's bad. It's not quite fast as OP9 Pro, but it's simply excellent. I have four prints for each thumb, screen sensitivity is set to to on and it's blazing fast and works every time.
Now, with that said, there most definitely are some legitimate complaints about this device, in my opinion. That unequivocally would be the charging speed, and the color reproduction. Thanks to some awesome third party apps, this problem is completely fixed. My device charges at more than acceptable speed, and the colors have a vibrant, slightly cooler whitepoint. No more beyond fugly piss colored screen. I'm on cloud 9.

Bro do what you want, but 60 hz should be banned and retired. Without exaggeration, it really is that bad. Stuttery, janky, and looks horrible. Not only that, but the battery savings are not profound. To make matters even worse, it's been reported by Ars Technica, that 60 hz on the pro is currently inexplicably worse battery life than 120hz. I know, i know, that makes zero sense.
Bottom line is 60 hz should be removed completely from 2021 devices for scrolling in my opinion. 60 hz was decent a few years ago, because we simply didn't know any better. We don't know what we don't know. The experience with it is horrible. The screen LTPO should only fluctuate between 90 and 120, for movement IMHO. Of course once the screen goes static, i don't care if the hz stops down to 30, as long as it's hidden well, once you touch the screen again.
According to reviews the P6 struggles to keep thermals in check and gets hot. While the P6P remains cooler, according to comparisons.

Can I ask you what third party app you used to change color reproduction ?
The thick bezels on the regular 6 are a turn off for me, so the P6P it is despite the LTPO display being limited by the SOC's lack of Auto-VRR switching
Not even a $300 tag would justify those bezels which look more like a ploy to upsell you to the (arguably) more aesthetically pleasing P6P

I couldn't agree with this more. I'm surprised that the masses don't see this. There's tons of dumb posts of people thinking the P6 is a better choice, on Reddit and this forum. Scratching my head.
People are bound to justify their purchase decisions despite contrary facts presented. Case in point, people accepting the Notch, first brought to market by Essential and made popular by Apple
I like how every new product release brings to light the previous version's shortcomings but people are too eager to justify their next new purchase, time and time again, with Capitalism ensuring that each version of product has at least one deliberate flaw introduced that is conveniently fixed with a brand new purchase of the next iteration. Never Settle
I'm sure the P6 is exactly what some folks need, and hard to justify a 50% ($300) price difference for P6P. If they had a 512 GB model of the P6, I would've considered it, and it's at least slightly smaller - some folks don't want a bigger phone, and having a flat-screen is at least some advantage.
