Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on their Google Nexus 6P? What they think of the device in general, any issues, etc. I currently have a LGG3 phone on the sprint network. Have had this phone a couple years and I'm looking to upgrade to the Google Nexus 6P or the next generation Marlin. I have always rooted my devices and installed custom roms. Are these devices easy to root and install roms and is the development support good for these devices? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi, there's some interesting information in this thread:

Don't get the 6p. Wait for Marlin. The phone and headphone jack on this phone are pathetic. People constantly tell me that I signs like I am under water. I can't wait until the new phones are released.
Maybe you should RMA your 6p; I've never had any of those issues.
Yeah I've never had those issues either and I've been through a few of these.
I have had an LG G3 for a short while and a few things that i miss from it are the
~ Replaceable battery
~ The almost instant with the camera for macro shots
~ The ability to arrange the Navigation buttons
The above three apart, Nexus 6P is a much better phone, however do not buy the phone yet. Wait until Marlin/Pixel comes out and Nexus 6P's price would plummet further
There's a mod in another thread that just enables the navbar button rearrangement that actually exists in System UI tuner but remains hidden. You can do whatever you want with it, including removal, extra or less spacing, etc.

It requires root i guess. I do not want to root my phone for another 6 months at least
Yup. Why six months? You can unroot and return completely to stock if you ever need to return the phone or have warranty issues ...It requires root i guess. I do not want to root my phone for another 6 months at least
Thanks. I like the lg g3 but been having signal issues where all of a sudden get no signal and then have to reboot to get signal back, possible radio issue. I have a extended battery in it that i love. I am itching to get a new phone but am disgusted with the carrier's/manufacturers lack of initative in updating the OS. I figured a Google phone would remedy that issue. So, if you were me, would you wait and get the Marlin/pixel or get the 6p when the price drops. I would like to get a state of the art phone one that can run vr just in case i become interested in it but from what i read in this thread, the Marlin may not be better than the 6p? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I would get the 6P then. Go for the 64 Gig version if possible
When the 6p price drops, where will it be? Google, Swappa, Amazon........?
I'll be looking at picking one up to replace my N6.

Picked up a mint 128 gig on Swappa for 450.

If you want a brand new phone I would check the Google store or possibly Amazon. Swappa would be a good place to look for a good used one. They occasionally have new phones, but most of what they sell is used.
I'm hoping for at least $150-200 off from the Google store, but that's probably dreaming...
Both have been reported by others as well. I am switching to PixelXL as soon as possible because of these problems. Honestly I think people give the 6p a pass. Who knows why. I am hoping the next release (Nexus/Pixel) will be full flagship quality and not 85% flagship quality.
To each their own.
You should RMA the phone. It's a faulty noise cancelling do hicky....I had the same problem. Never had the problem again. On my 3rd 6p and phone calls are great
Is there a limit to how long I have to RMA? I have had this phone since last November.
Did you get it from Google? Pretty sure you have a year. I just RMAd last week I bought mine on launch
