Google Nexus 6P After The Buzz: 2016 Has Been Tough | Pocketnow

- Most new device launches go the same way: usually the press gets review units before they’re widely available, and we get to use them for a few days or a week if we’re lucky as we work on our review. Then press day arrives. The embargo on media coverage lifts, and everyone posts their reviews and videos at the same time. It’s a huge frenzy, commenters go nuts, and it’s a giant explosion of frantic opinion-sharing activity. For about … a day. And then it all goes away. Sure, there’s followup coverage as people find bugs and hidden features, but after that initial blast, not many people revisit the device to see how it feels a few months later, because everyone’s already focused on the next big deal coming down the pipe.
So let’s do something about that. Let’s see how we feel about devices when they’re not shiny and new anymore. This is After The Buzz.

The Nexus 6P has marked my return to a pure Android Phone ever since my beloved Galaxy Nexus. Google got kind of lost in its plan to defy technology through a pure Google plan by going either too cheap and dated, or too expensive and large. 2015 was the year of choice for the Nexus, and before our crazy review season this year, the Nexus 6P was my phone of choice. Watch our latest episode of After The Buzz as we discuss how things have evolved.

The amount of widgets on his homescreen is giving me anxiety
noticed that too. lol. I want my home screen neat and simple. the only widget on it is the digital clock.
i dont think you know what anxiety means, but still get your point and agree
EyYoMrWhite I don't mean it like the disorder, just a feeling of concern and unease
watch this guy complain about how big the phone is now then goes to praise the Note 6
I mean the Note is a much smaller phone, even with the same sized display.
+areeb1296 no bro it should be note 6
+Evan Williams That's because there's no front facing stereo speakers.
not to mention on the note you can make the window smaller I'm not a Samsung fanboy I hate Samsung but I will give them that they make bigger phones easy to use
Josh Figueroa Android N has multitasking mind you, so we can do that.
I'm using Nexus 5 still and it's still snappy and has the Android updates. I love stock Android its so clean and nice to use
same 😅
I still have my Nexus 5 and I still feel like it the best performing nexus to this date
#Nexus5Squad
my mom loves her 5
+MSN740 Still on my 2013 moto x
This after the buzz series are more helpful than the review ones. Great series, keep it up. Do a Nexus 5x also.
typing this on my 6p. this phone is still super smooth, great camera, loud speakers, and the size is manageable in one hand (I have smaller hands). if you're on the edge its still worth it
Fantastic phone I don't see it needing to be upgraded anytime soon.
+OspreyBravo18 had my 6P since March 10 about 2/12 months great phone battery is solid camera is great and major upgrade over my. Nexus 6 camera wise. Every gripe I had when it comes to the nexus 6 was addressed in the 6P. Don't see myself upgrading anytime soon.
Theblackvortex75 I had a Iphone 5s prior to the 6p and I was looking at the note 5 but then a family member surprised me with the 6P before I bought it and oh my god... I find myself using it for youtube videos to much though and just draining the fuck out of my battery I'll spend the day just walking around watching videos as I go if I can and thats the thing I can start watching videos at 8am and be at 20-15% by the time I go to bed. Although there have been a few hiccups recently and it got really warm borderline hot one day but thats gone now. I still have problems with google maps or spotify transferring from wifi to lte smoothly and AT&T has been kind of hit or miss on the coverage as of late.
+OspreyBravo18 does Tmobile work in your area Tmobile has a Walmart only plan 5gb data unlimited texting and 100 minutes for 30 bucks
nooberrific Tmobile is pretty shit in my area Verizon has the best signal we switched because they were really overpriced now that they dropped we are considering switching back for half the data we are currently at like 30gb of data with rollover for some ridiculously cheap price.
I really enjoy Jaime's videos. His editing skills are on point.
Jaime is awesome don't get me wrong, I just want to know where Michael went? Anyone have a clue?
MobileNations
+William Ives Off to create his own channel under the umbrella of MobileNations.
+Utsav Pradhan its been like two years since their last upload on youtube
Rivera is a tool bag.
+TheBigclow you're a tool. Can't even do anything lmao
Jaime please do an After the buzz for Oneplus 2... Great video
+Ayush Jani Coming soon ^JR
+Pocketnow Great! Looking forward to it😀
+Pocketnow And for Oneplus X?
+Pocketnow Can't wait for Google i/o this year! An gonna be watching it live!
+Pocketnow droid turbo 2/moto X Force??? PLEASE!?
i love it when he say his name
+Valdo Satrio Wibowo Considering the amount of times he says it in the end, I'm betting that he likes saying his name too. Not that I mind.
I love my nexus 6p.... It's camera is amazing and it's build quality is great for the price
Hi. Is it normal that the Google Now On Tap in most scenarios doesn't recognize the names of the apps on the current screen? I have a Nexus 6
Jaime, adaptive display only works if you tilt the phone from the right side while on a flat surface. I have a Nexus 6p my self, took me a while to figure it out.
OF COURSE THE 6P IS STILL WORTH BUYING
I JUST BOUGHT ONE. NO RAGRETS.
Seriously though, Frost White 64gb. Never thought anything could replace my old Nexus 5.
+Jerrad Flaherty so did I. wanted to move from my N5, but held off till now, when my N5 shattered. using 6P for 2 weeks now. No. Regrets. Whatsoever
by far the best phone I've owned through Google Nexus.
I'm planning on getting the 6p by the end of may, but I was wondering if I should instead splash a little more cash in a 2016 flagship? if so, which one do you recommend?
Great review. Just wondering about something though. I see you have a theme on your Nexus 6P that makes it look like it has HTC Sense 4.0. Just wondering if that comes as a built in theme with the phone or if it's some kind of add-on and where I might be able to download it, if it's the latter.
Will you do an After The Buzz with the Nexus 5X? Always love watching your videos!
+Christian Gabriel That's what I was thinking!
Watching this with Nexus 5X, no lag, smooth as ever... waiting for the HTC Nexus!
me too homie
You and me both
+genneralOG W
Does anyone know what the name of the Calendar and Weather widget Jaime is using? It looks clean, and I would like to use it myself!
What are the two phones at 3:33? (displays this large with smaller bezels)
I have this device .loving it.
+gary mann Me too...Day 1 purchaser here I have the silver 128GB version...LOVE IT!!!!
+nycplayboy78 congrats .enjoy your device :) .
+gary mann I am looking forward to the new Nexus device later this year :)
good to know. how long have you used it for? will have mine soon
Day 1 buyer and user of the Nexus 6P
My question is this, what does the HTC 10 & GS7 do better than the Nexus 6P? It's unnoticeably "slower" and the camera is just about as good as the 2016 bunch. I'd say after 8 months, this phone isn't even close to "dated" yet. If this phone came out today it would be considered a pretty great phone.
Agreed!
+Ashja Minhas and it also costs like 300 more
The speed of the nexus 6p and s7 is similar, you wont notice a difference, and you also get updates first on the nexus
+Sergii Cherniavskyi price may be an issue for you, but everyone does not have issues with money. You buy what you like.
MJ That One Guy I don't have an issue, I'm just stating the fact that phones that are more expensive and release half a year later may be better at some things (especially hardware) and that's perfectly reasonable.
Question, which widget is the one used with that HTC looks?
what calendar widget do u use on your main screen?
Best phone and software I've ever owned hands down!
Jaime the best part of your videos are when you say your name. That is your voice's true accent and tone. Stay true to it. With all due respect, you are starting to sound like Josh Vergar (?) from Android Authority and that's not a good thing.
+Agustin Barajas What's wrong with Josh?
blues03 1. Nothing is "wrong" with him. 2. All these guys sound the same except for MKBHD and Jon Morrison, that's why their subscriber count is so high. 3. Josh is boring
Agustin Barajas Hmm, I've watched some AA, I've never paid attention to the enthusiasm in his voice before. I will next time though, thanks.
what do you think the best nexus 6p or one plus 3 or huawei p9 plus Generally?
Hey guys, is it still worth buying a nexus 6p or note 5 for 2 year usage?
In my opinion Nexus devices should be launched when the new SOC's are launched at the start of the year. Right now Nexus devices are launched at the end of the life cycle of that SOC.
surely thats because the OEM's Google gets to make it's phones are releasing their own flagships around the time of the release of the SOC's, I doubt they'd want to build a phone to compete with their own flagship during it's release.
switching up the intro - nice jaime
I get an upgrade Febuary 2017 what should I get a 2016 Nexus or 2017 Galaxy
So I wanna get a new phone but idk if I should get the nexus 6p or wait on the next nexus that might come out in about four months
I don't really get what stutters people complain about. My 6P is like a warm bar of butter.
+Md Nazial Kadir key word "my". consider yourself lucky that your particular device is running good but not everyone has had that luck
I'm just waiting for the new nexus hope it's even better than the 6p
+Ryan Jacob hope that there is front facing speakers and a fingerprint sensor on the back
About the screen size, I'm using the Nexus 6 as daily driver, coming from the iPhone 4s. Because the iPhone fits 3 times inside the Nexus 6, it was some getting used to, but after a few days it's all fine. I don't know how I will feel about going back to something smaller than 6 inches. Will it be better or worse? But the screen size isn't a problem for me after getting used to it.
(The hardware of the N6 aged fast though, with here and there some System UI crashes etcetera)
+Tristan Hoekstra stick to 5.7 in screens for your next phne. Those are normal big screens lol. He compared the 6p to the moto x pure and showed how smaller the pure looked compared to the 6p. its because the bezels on the moto are literally perfect. I have a moto and its not tough to reach anywhere on the screen
i've had an iPhone 5s every since it first came out and i want to switch to android. choosing a phone isn't rlly easy bc theres so many android phones and just one new iPhone. i want to get nexus 6p, would that be a good choice considering i have no experience with android?
I use oneplus x with cm13. Next upgrade in 2018 q2
+Ivan Panchev man, i still luve nexus 5. To me its the best design regardless of plastic body. Used to have 32GB but its main logic board died. . So had to go for next best thing.
Jump to After The Intro: 0:45
The quality is so good i dont even wanna skip the intro ...
+Gameplay Benchmark exactly
saw your tweet about after the buzz. was up for the intro. great!
can you please advise if I em buying nexus 6p in couple of days is it worth now.?
For $300 less than most flagships, and the fact that the Nexus 5 was my previous phone for nearly 2 1/2 years, I'd say it's gonna last me a while. Funny thing is, the only real benefit I've seen from upgrading from the Nexus 5 to the 6P is the screen and the battery. Otherwise, it's the exact same. I don't care for photos, and slow motion video is about all I'm interested in as for camera features (to analyze my golf swing), and this phone has that.
I'm hard pressed to know what added features an S7 or other high end phones that cost hundreds more could provide that make them worth buying.
+Strikerage You make a fair point. I guess to an extent it does depend on your individual needs, and to some the added functionality of expandable storage and water resistance might make you them swing that way. But I've had the 6p for almost five months now and not felt like i needed those features.
I really cannot fault it and I see it having no difficulty in taking me to the full 24 month period of my contract.
That extra 300 is probably advertising.
You don't care about camera doesn't mean other people don't care either.. And s7 has the latest processor with better camera and screen yes it. Has better screen than this so it's faster and camera is better that's al I can think of but I am sure it has more things to offer so of course it's gonna cost more
***** Actually, the camera on the 6P is pretty amazing. Just came back from Maui and the photos are stunning. Especially the night photos.
Strikerage sure it will be good but even s6 camera was better than nexus 6p so in s7 there is no competition sure its good but there is always better and better things always cost more
Nice phone...its just way too big.
Seems that way but it doesn't feel like it's big. Once you start using it you get used to it. For people with tiny hands though it might be much.
+Robert Dominguez I had the 5x for a few months because I thought the same as you, that the 6p was just too big. But eventually I bought one because I got a good deal on it (half price!). When I first took it out, yeah, it was too big and too heavy. I forced myself to use it for 2 days, and I still thought it was too big. But when I went back to the 5x it felt like a tiny plastic toy. Which isn't fair, but that's what it felt like. So I realized that, while it's still large, and still heavy, anything less than the 6p feels like garbage to me.
What clock widget are you using?
what home screen weather widget is that?
what is that weather app on your 6p in this video
Hi.. Can u pls tell me the name of the weather widget? Looks like HTC
Iv'e had mine for 7 months and it bent in my pocket and sometimes the fingerprint scanner doesn't work. Not sure if i'm the only person but overall I think its pretty good.
soo...should I still buy a nexus 6P...or go with the oneplus 3 that went out today??
I mean, obviously the specs on the oneplus 3 are way better, since it was released today! (7 month after the 6p) but, people has told me that nexus always gets the latest software updates, etc, etc...
I'm going to buy a phone during this week and I would appreciate any advise or comments. Nexus 6p or Oneplus 3
what's that flip clock widget? it's one of the few that actually looks good
Hello guys. Please suggest. I need to buy a new smartphone as I want to
replace my old Nexus 6 32 GB. So, should I wait for the new Nexus or
should I buy the 6P? Thanks!
pixel xl if you like large phone. could get longer time google update, which is the most important part of Google experience.
do you guys have after the Buzz Oneplus two !?
Will you be doing an After the Buzz for the LG V10?
I've got a Nexus 6 and I'm still loving it. Just as fast and zippy as the day I bought it.
2:35 what do you mean how good the display is when it decides to work? is it not working properly?
The function that lets you glance at the display in black and white when you bring it up from a surface or give it a gentle shake is what he is talking about. It works fine he probably doesn't understand that there is a delay before you can trigger it again because if is sensitive enough that a bump in the road can wake your screen and having that happen constantly on the highway or a bumpy road would be a waste of battery and just plain annoying.
+wakeupnow Nexus 6P got Adaptive Display
Whats the weather and time widget?
I love the way you say Jaime Rivera. It reminds me of Ricardo Montalban and his rich Corinthian leather.
what's that clock widget in the thumbnail?
pls what calendar widget is that
what's software weather on Nexus 6p, thanks.
@ 1:11 what phone is that next to the 6P???
does this phone support dual Window
still using a LG G3. Why should I ever upgrade?
just waiting for Android N to breathe some life and add more features to this phone, i might root it and try some Roms, any recommendations?
props to you Jaime for doing this video and all the HTC 10 coverage! I miss fishers help but I'll always like your reviews!
does anyone not get notifications from Nexus 6p there apps or is it just me.. like I mean by when your looking at the app and I get a notification it will only show it in the notification panel and it don't actually show like 1 or 2 on the little app for example Facebook or massager or does the 6p not support that ?
+IRISH- REBEL-MAN , what are you talking about?
+myassin78 like if you got a notification on Facebook let's say would it show on the Facebook app on the app drawer when you open it cause mine don't
+IRISH- REBEL-MAN bro your English is fuked. I know what you mean, but you need to re-read your comments in your head before you press that post button. Anyway, no stock android doesn't put little number indicators on the app icon to show the number of emails or messages, etc. it something Apple did from the start as they didn't have a notification drawer in their older versions of iOS, but they now still continue do use it as some people are used to it/like it. Some android manufactures, specifically Samsung, have implemented it into their skins, because let's face it, Samsung likes to copy Apple sometimes
whats the phone in the video on the nexus 6p
Oh Cool .. what did u do in Shenzhen !? Did u go to Hong Kong too !? Thanks J
Heating issue still prevales in snapdragon version 2.0 that is still the case with nexus 6p it suffers from thermal throttling.
Guys, is it Ok for a phone that don't have the 3G&4G?
Hi, please give scores for full reviews based on display, camera, audio, overheat, and speed.
what about the oneplus x after the buzz?
6p was launched 2015 and still can compete with anything so far in 2016!
+Martin Cross not if the competing phone has an 808 or 820 processor, the 810's thermal throttling is still apparent
Harrison Williams price comparison! big difference for me.
Price wise, yes. Not much of a competition there. Performance wise, it can be better.
Harrison Williams worked out I got the 6p for £384 sim free (Google had a promotion on), the 2016 Samsung, htc etc all cost around £560 I know the new processors are better but not around £190 better + don't think I could go back to a smaller screen.
I'm just referring to the 810 as a performance bottleneck, but it's not always apparent depending on your use of the 6P, so in your case it would seem the 810 doesn't seem to be experiencing thermal throttling, so you should be fine if you keep a consistent workload.
Thanks for this review! Really like your angle of reviewing something after the hype has worn off. Keep up the great work!
what software weather please?
Great video Jaime!!! Getting better and better every day!!!!!
This phone was one my favorites. A bit big but perfomed great. I had quality issues though. Had 2 units replaced under warranty for the top speaker blowing out.
When is the next Nexus due to come out? And who will make it??
I actually bought mine after the s7 and g5 were already announced to replace my previous 2015 flagship, the g4. I really love it and don't want any other phone.
how is the battery on this phone. please answer.😐
it's really good it has a big battery
So what if you buy it brand new? You've had this since launch I'll be getting mine Monday.
After the Buzz LG V10? will that ever happen?
Are you planning on a Nexus 5X after the buzz?
Rockin' the original Motorola Nexus 6 with the latest Android N update. I have to say it is a fast and vivid experience that everyone should try. Praise be to the Nexus phone line up's success.
Very happy with mine so far. I usually use phones for 2+ years and the 6P has really been holding up much better than past phones. Looking forward to another 18 months or so with it.
how about an after the buzz of the V10 ?
I had to get rid of mine it was just too big. mate 8 did a great job of screen to bezel ratio.
Can you do after the buzz for the 5x
I can get the Nexus 6p or the Galaxy s6 edge plus for the exact same price.
Which one is better?
I'd go with the s6 edge plus tbh
i believe that the nexus 6p is in myy opinion a little better than the edge plus but if you prefer the smamsung line, go for it.
did you get the Nexus
it doesn't have a always on display it has the ambient display which only turns the backlight of the screen on only when you receive notifications.
what phone is that at 0:07???
really enjoy watching pocketnow review
cool. is there a Nexus 5x after the buzz?
Bought a Nexus 6p 3 weeks ago and didn't look back. Delighted even after half year release. Best Nexus phone imo.
I can't get that swipe to left Google cards??? Why????
when u turn on closed captions it says "six be" and "nexus xp"
+Pocketnow I really like your 'After the buzz' series videos , i hope that you guys will upload more videos in it.
Can you make lumia 950 after the buzz
What is that clock widget? (Old HTC Sense widget that I loved before my old One X got updated to newer in my eyes uglier minimalist design)
+kara88bg Beautiful Widgets I believe. If it's not, then I'd still say Beautiful Widgets and HD Widgets can offer some fairly customizable yet minimalist clock widgets
Johnny Orefice Thanks, I'll give it a try. I'd love if HTC made their old sense UI available to other devices, full screen weather forcast wass really nice.
Qué diantres!? Has estado en Barcelona?
Nexus 5x or Nexus 6p? (battery life)
