Upgrade to an N6 from the LG G2?

I had been planning to jump on the Nexus 6P once it was widely available, but with the SD 810 in it I'm just not sold. I wanted to get some opinions if I should snag an N6 or hold out for next year's Nexus (or other SD 820 phone). I had a Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) prior to my LG G2 (Sprint), and while I love the G2 I sorta miss being on the Nexus platform. I've ran the ParanoidAndroid ROM for years and I really love vanilla Android, although it seems PA may not be as common on these phones as it has been on the GNex and G2.
I would like to have a bigger screen (although the 6" screen scares me a bit, but I do like my wife's Note 2). Is going from a SD800/2GB memory to the 805/3GB of the N6 a decent performance upgrade? My G2 isn't slow, but could be snappier.
Anyway, what's everyone's opinion? And if I do switch, and specific info I should be aware of about the N6? I did see that for Sprint network it sounds like I'll need the XT1103 model.

I made the switch from the G3 and I couldn't be happier. Why not look at the 5X if screen size is a concern for you?

I do want a bigger screen. I think the Note 2 is about perfect, although the N6 isn't really that much bigger. *googles picture comparison* actually pretty much the same, so scratch that concern off the list

I have had the N6 since February of this year and I'm entirely happy with the phone. The only phone I would replace it with would be a phone with a Qualcomm 820 made by Motorola. I had a Samsung note 3 before this phone that and Verizon told me I was dropping 7% of my calls. I live in a fringe area of Phoenix and Verizon said they are not going to build any more powers out here. I bought this N6 Motorola Phone 8 months ago and I've had one dropped call since then and I'm not sure if the call dropped or the guy just hung up on me. So, my next phone will be Motorola and there will be a Qualcomm 820 and until then I am entirely satisfied with this phone

I came from a G2. Trying to run AOSP on anything that's not a Nexus is an abomination. The Nexus 6 is far and away a much better device. The size won't take long for you to get used to, in fact...you won't ever want to go back to a smaller size again.

Yeah I'm searching for a good deal on one now
I tried to snag one off Ebay that was posted on the general tab, $299 with $20 coupon, but the coupons we're working. Didn't want to jump that fast on a 32gb white one, try to find at least a blue or possibly a 64gb for not much more.

Amazon has like new 64gb units for 339.00. I bought one 2 weeks ago.

Looks like those are gone now....were they listed as Used - Like New by 3rd party sellers?

they were listed as used (like new) from amazon warehouse. the box had some cosmetic imperfections but the device looked brand new.

Woot got one! They showed up as Amazon warehouse in very good condition. Sounds like packaging issues again but we'll see when it gets here. $339. 99 on prime

I can't find an alternative phone to replace my beloved N6

I've had this phone almost 2 years now. It's a beast, I love the big screen, it's fast and it's pure android. The other day I was thinking if it was time to replace and upgrade to a new phone and did a bit of research. I have a budget so nothing too fancy or any latest releases. So had a look at Mate 8, Mate S, Huawei P9, OnePlus 3, Lg V10, even 6p.
To be honest nothing wowed me. Similar specs, maybe few plus sides but nothing made me go 'ok that's it'. Maybe the fingerprint scanner but I'm not fussed really.
So anyone in the same boat let me know if you've find any good alternatives or are you waiting for Pixel phones. I'm interested if anyone else is looking for an upgrade.
My other option is to wait another year once the Pixel phones go cheaper and upgrade to Pixel XL.
So let me know what you guys think..
Cheers

the best phone i can find in the market right now is Samsung S7 edge
great battery life and awesome screen and is snapy for sure
the only bad side is touchwoz but you can get rid of it

I hate Samsung. I'd rather to buy a Nokia 5110 then a Samsung! Are you waiting for Pixel phones to upgrade?

Awaiting pixel xl and Honor 9 to see if I give up my N6. If they don't wow me, I'll just keep the N6 until something does.

htc ? im not sure
i can't use a phone without Amoled big screen
i love nexus and i bought nexus 4 and 5 and 6 and 6 is the best of them
but i don't like htc to be honest
imo the screen is the most important thing in any phone
that's why i recommend Samsung
s7 edge is awesome and dont judge this phone unless you have used it first
i hate Samsung too but this phone ia wow

I don't really have high hopes for Pixel XL really. I reckon if I want to upgrade 6p is going to be my choice as the price will drop once Pixel is launched.

I'm in the same boat as you, I really wanted to upgrade to the Note 7 despite my hate for TouchWiz, but there are launchers to fix that. Until that whole battery explosion fiasco happened around the same time my contract ended so I decided to hold off for the Pixel phones. I guess I will know for sure next week, if the Pixel lineup isn't any good then I might get the Note 7 or S7 Edge.
If not I could wait for Samsung's new galaxy lineup, which will be announced early next year

That explosion thing totally put me off too. I don't think I can afford a Samsung at the moment anyway looks like my best bet is either wait for next year and buy cheaper Pixel XL or buy 6p now and use it next 2-3 years.

The 6p is pretty nice. I have a N6. Got a 6p used. I like good audio for podcasts mostly. I watch hours of video at work. Both running Pure Nexus. Very snappy. Its a tossup . I like them both equally. Got a 5x for the kid. She loves it.

there's nothing coming up that I feel is an upgrade across the board, I got the shamu on launch day and was also expecting to pick up a pixel but its been a let down so far with design/specs/price
I'm thinking maybe catching a 6p on fire sale price around thanksgiving or new year, or going with the cheaper midrange chinese oems(oneplus 3/saxon 7) depending on development support
all meh choices so there's a good chance I'll stay put with this device into next year

Why replace it? If you want new device, keep your beloved N6 and buy new one someday I personally can't live with only one phone, there are too many awesome devices out there (in my opinion). But if money is the problem and you need to sell N6 in order to be able to buy a new one, then it's a whole different story and understandable

I can't anything that wowed me like my n6. I would like a op3 but with the lack of band 13 for verizon, and my area is covered with it. I'm stuck with verizon for the most part, only have coverage with most of the rural area I live in. Sprint roams off verizon, the nearest tower for tmo is 15 miles away and I live in the mountians. ATT has the 2nd best coverage, but doesn't have service in my house, and it a lot of areas I go to. I used to be a samsung fan until they started with the knox crap, after my s3, I have never had an samsung device again. I was a fan of Motorola, until Lenovo took over. Looks like I'll be sporting my n6 for a while. At my work, I've actually been pushing the n6 for people to buy them lol

Well, my phone buying pattern has been like this;
Palm Treo 650, 2004
HTC Dream ADP1, 2008
HTC Vision, 2010
Samsuck Relay, 2012 (first and LAST samsuck I will ever buy)
Nexus 6, 2014.
Note the pattern: update when there is something WORTH updating to. For a little while, that was a 2-year cycle. THIS cycle will go longer, since this N6 is still perfect. Should have seen the condition of the palm treo when I was done with it -- the lots-of-pins plug was removed, had a capacitor sticking out the bottom of it, and a custom charging plug, a couple of resistors soldered onto the inside near the battery. That 2004-2008 range was REALLY desolate, sure wasn't going to buy RIM or FRUIT junk.
I will be buying my wife a Pixel XL to replace her N5, and sticking to the N6 for myself. Why? Well the pixel XL will have a better SoC, but not *so* much better that it will have ANY impact on my life.
As far as the 6p goes, straight across the board, it is either equal or LESS than the N6.
Screen: less
RAM: equal
CPU: less (the SD810 is definitely NOT as good as the 805, it was just adequate for them to be able to bump the number to say "64bitz!!!", which won't actually do any good in a phone).
Not that the 6p is a terrible phone or anything, but I already have something slightly BETTER than it, so it would be stupid to get one.
Actually, my N6 recently suffered a... mishap. Got some impact thanks to a 2 year old, that even with a ballistic maxx, caused a couple of cracks in the digitizer, and SHATTERED the AMOLED. Yeah, it was worth buying a new screen for it. TOTALLY worth it.

I'm in the same boat, was kinda waiting for the Lenovo Phab Tab 2 Pro, but it has been delayed till 'this fall'.
Don't want to go back to much in screen size, so i'm undecided for now....

The original OnePlus 3 may soon be replaced with higher spec'd variant!!

http://www.phonearena.com/news/OneP...rapped-permanently-new-model-incoming_id86487
The rumor appears to be picking up steam and it really does seem plausible... What do you guys think? I wont feel cheated if it comes to fruition. I bought my OP3 the very day it came out back in June, and I've enjoyed every second of it since.
They'll definitely have to announce it, and they have to do so under a different name because the changes do appear to be significant, so hopefully no one will get screwed over buying the original OP3 one week and the next week the OP3+ comes out.
What do you guys think? A 2K LED screen and Snapdragon 821 would be pretty dope. Of course, it probably would need a 4000mah battery and 6 inch screen to accommodate the battery.

It would be a d!ck move by OnePlus for them to do this just a few months after the OnePlus 3 was launched.

If they did do it it would still be a 1080p lcd screen, the thing which would bug everyone though would be if they did release it and it came with Android N out the box lol.

No big deal to me. The op3 is solid and I'd rather wait for the op4. Definitely need the price to remain 399 or less.

Thanks for sharing this news. I was shocked at first when I saw the headline, A premium OnePlus 3+ with SD821 is rumored!!! Hell no!
But rumored phone specs are not in my choice. 6" display is too large. LED > LCD So still the OnePlus 3 is still the best choice for me. handy and powerfull.

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/recent-rumor-of-amoled-to-an-lcd-panel.469519/

I just ordered a OP3 yesterday and then read this news today. It doesn't bother me though. The reason I bought the OP3 is because of the variety of ROMS, MultiROM support, and NetHunter support. All those things will have to start over for this "refresh" version. It will require a new XDA forum. It's a new phone model. They would be doing a huge disservice to try to sell it as OP3.
Also, like someone above said, the 6" screen will be too big. I've had a Nexus 6 for a year and a half and I'm ready for something that comfortably fits in my pocket.

I don't think this will happen. I hope it doesn't.
They just released the OnePlus 3 in o2 stores in the UK about a month ago, so immediately making it outdated with a newer model when they have so much exposure in a retail shop in front of the general population, seems like a very bad idea. It's already better than the competition so no need to change it just yet. Let the holiday period revel in the OnePlus 3 glory!

Exactly the same reason I just ordered a One+3. I really enjoy the Nexus 6, but I want a phone sligtly smaller with a "near stock" android experience.
Looking forward to this phone, hope it ships within a few weeks.

One thing I like about Oneplus is that Carl Pei seems to be pretty straight up. Not many directors of cell phone manufacturers can be seen actively engaging with users on forums either.

If someone came up to me tomorrow and asked if I would swap my SD820/OLED for a SD821/LCD, I would say no.
In 2 or 3 years time, the speed difference between the SD820 & 821 may become important. Until that point, I'd rather being looking at my OLED every day over an LCD. As far as I'm concerned, LCD = The past.

A OnePlus 3 with an LCD screen!?! I'm sorry, Snapdragon 821 or not, it's simply NOT a OnePlus 3 without an AMOLED screen!
Just call it the OnePlus 3.1

Carl pei said yesterday that oneplus will be sticking to optic amolled displays. So I don't see any other displays coming in future

I was thinking about getting the OnePlus 3 this weekend after the disappointment with the Google Pixel pricing, but with all this talk about what the new 'A3010' could be, it would be difficult to place down this amount of money knowing there's potentially an updated model of the OP3 coming out within the next few months. I have been searching for a new phone to replace my LG G4, and the OP3 seems like the perfect phone as it matches quite a specific criteria i had planned out. (SD820, 3GB RAM, AMOLED 1920x1080, 64GB Internal Storage, Fingerprint Reader)
The OP3 is now being sold in O2 stores here in the UK, which offers me much quicker alternative to ordering from the official OnePlus website and being presented with a month-long wait for delivery. But these stores are asking for £346 including a £10 top-up which i will never use, in comparison with the £329 on the website which is already a little beyond my available budget. Personally, i think £346 for a phone which is approaching 5 months old when it was only £309 on release in the UK (Increase of £20 due to Brexit) is difficult to get too enthusiastic about buying. Of course it is a miracle how OnePlus can sell such an astonishing phone at such a low price range, and the reason for the price increase was beyond their control due to how the Pound has fallen following the EU Referendum. However, it is a shame as the phone was already beyond my allocated budget and has increased in price by £20 for online purchases over the past 6 months!
I am hoping at least that if an updated model comes out with the Snapdragon 821 at a similar affordable price bracket (£300-350), then it would make more sense for me to purchase that as i would not be buying a device which is already five months down the line and gradually falling behind competitors such as the Google Pixel. Despite my restricted budget, i would much rather spend a small premium getting an up-to-date phone with the latest processor equipped, than buying the OnePlus 3 for £20 more than it was originally listed for and getting marginally outdated specifications.

Any good in 2020?

Hey guys is the Nexus 6 is still a good phone to have in 2020? Reason asking is because in getting to choose between either an Samsung Galaxy A10 or the Nexus 6.... Wat are ur advice people

I've since moved on to a Galaxy S10 5g, but the Nexus 6 is still the best phone I've ever owned. I miss how wide the damn thing is. Unlocked bootloader... was a great phone. I've even considered going back to it. I'd suggest getting the N6, but I've never used the A10

My personal opinions here...
If the Nexus 6 [emoji336] and the Samsung A10 [emoji336] were my two [emoji3577] choices, I would personally go with Samsung A10.
The Nexus 6 was an Awesome Android phone when it came out in 2014. The model, however, is now almost 6 years old.
Conversely the Samsung A10 was released in 2019 and is a Much newer device. It will work better with modern apps and should receive one or two of the future Android Version Updates.

As much as I still love my Nexus 6. I'd say no. It's a great secondary device but not main.

Yeah N6 was a top phone back in the day. OP6 user now but still have my trusty N6, just need a new battery for it now. Any recommendations?

i had to jump ship due to the battery issues. i went the pixel 4 xl route google store version from swappa and got a good deal. if i wasnt having battery issues i would probably still have my shamu as my primary device.

I agree, when searching, the UK was limited. I did come across the one you mentioned, I guess I'll order it as someone local with expertise will fit it for me. My daughter will be happy as the Shamu will be as good as new again.

My dad still uses one, it had the battery changed though last year. I am thinking of giving him my S8+ because i have only 2 months left on my contract, and I was thinking on getting the P30 Pro and keeping the N6 as a backup phone, maybe having Lineage OS 16 installed on it. The N6 was the phone I loved most over the years and had 4 or 5 of them. Very good phone if you change the battery !

Definitely Pixel 5, too much of a fan of the form factor. The iPhone is really pricy I'm not ready to pay that much, S21 is the same. I think I will never pay 1000$ for a phone, as much as I love that, they're just not worth 1 month of hard labor (espacially frickin samsungs that won't receive updates ever again).

I mean pixel little slow. But money saver great ui exprience a to z
iphone is basic but consistly good performance and good sell value
samsung just so many freebies
Ads on ui
Poor cam performance
No voice mail on us version

Thank you neighbors it is too much $1200 for phone.

I own the pixel 5 and honestly, it is a decent phone but I would not say it is a great phone. The camera is decent but not a show stopper in my opinion. It is very affordable - and can be customized and rooted pretty easily, but frankly to my mind, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the phone to get. Samsung consistently puts out the best phones with awesome cameras. It comes with a higher price but then you get what you pay for.
As for Apple - I personally do not like the Apple experience and will never buy an apple device. Just not for me. You have to make your own mind up based on what is most important to you. Best of luck.

Pixel 5 is not even close to this other 2. S21U is the best without any doubt.

Yea i guess it's one of the reasons I refuse to upgrade my AT&T Note 20 Ultra to an unlocked S21 Ultra, since att version is sold out. Not worth the headache. Last time I've gotten an unlocked Samsung, SMS didn't work properly either

I was lookin ay my Pre-Order on Samsung.com and noticed that the delivery date for the device has changed - originally after buying it, Samsung posted a delivery Date of 1/27. Today, when I looked at the order it has changed to an expected delivery date of 1/29. I know it is only two more days, but I had my hopes up it would come early. Not sure why it changed - hope it still comes as they originally said.... anyone else see a shipping date change for their Samsung Pre-Order?

It is a great device however I hate see ads on ui and loosing basic features for that price I just couldn't. Able to make. It

so you'd never pay more than 1000 bucks on a phone yet you're asking people to tell you which phone to choose from 3 - where 2 are way more than 1000+
either you have nothing to do with your time or you're talking ****
