Note 5 main advantage is its Spen, better camera and better battery life
Both are equally good phones
I prefer the N6P over the Note5 as is less bloatware, quick Google firmware updates, and flexibility to flash various types of roms /kernels. Main reason why I got this phone
It boils down to one preferences which one prefer

Will definitely do a simple 5 sen comparison. Most probably the V10 will be my main daily phone while the N6P will just be a play phone !!

I am seriously considering selling off my iphone 6S Plus ( 64GB) as will end up mainly in the drawers. Or just keep it to monitor development of IOS 9 and beyond ? Except for its battery life I am still unimpressed with the iPhone 6S Plus
Even my ipad mini3 I rarely used these days after I got the HuaWei P8 Max !!

I had tried alternative charging the phone with :

1. Generic PECHAM brand Type C-Type C cable. Exterior wise these cables looks much better and stronger ( steel braided) vs the original cable. Charging time not much difference between them

2. Using my LVSUN Qualcom 2.0 Quick Charger , USB A port ( 3A output) together with a generic Type A-Type C USB cable - the charging time is slower by about 50%. However using the app CHECKR shows this cable is incompatible with the N6P !! I will continue to use/test this combo and see whether the charger gets burnt off ???

I bought all these accessories from Aliexpress

No point to try another iPhone and its display size is simply too small for me. These days my minimum display size is 5.5 inches

XDA forum has the guide. I always prefer to use fastboot commands. Toolkit is I believe easier but you had no control over it

Only the source charger will get spoilt NOT the phone...that Google engineer had clearly said that
BUT I seriously doubt his words !! My charger is the 3A output type not the usual 2A type. So I just got to try myself to know the truth

This is applicable to all phone imports
If your phone is held by custom

1. You need to apply Sirim permit on your own : RM 106 can cover up to 3 units of phone. It is now very convenient to pay Sirim online and apply permit online. At worse you will get the Sirim permit the next working day. I had detailed in Nexus 6 official thread page 1 how to do this. OR you can personally go to nearest Sirim center to do it . You need to submit your IC details, courier notice, airway bill and tech specs of phone ( any info from the web is good enough)
Just email the permit over to courier company. If courier is DHL, the Sirim center will auto email them directly

2. You need to pay the courier company 6% GST on phone invoice value plus its courier charges - you can do this payment online too

The courier company will pay the Customs accordingly

Don't ever ask courier to apply Sirim. They will kill you n.be prepared to pay rm200 for service charges excluding rm100 for permit!!

I think 6-7 hours shouldn't be a problem if you root and tweak it. I didn't even bother to tweak the phone ( except install custom rom) and easily I could get 5-6 hours SOT, which is sufficiently good enough for me

Very true. In reality the hump looks very nice vs those photos . I would say is absolutely a non issue at all

This is HW comment/reply to potential buyers on their M'sian Facebook ( Huawei Device MY) : " The Huawei Nexus 6P is set to arrive by the end of the year, so remember to stay tuned to our Facebook page for all the latest updates and announcements regarding this "

Have you try Note5 or just giving opinion based on previous older Samsung
Infact I had commented out of box N6p smoothness loses to Note5 but is only very marginal. I installed Chroma custom rom n was an improvement in smoothness

Both are good phones. I had used Note5 before n currently has the N6P
I won't say which one is better. Only diehards will argue which is better
It all boil down to your needs
Just decide which features are more important n that phone that meet your requirement will be your better phone. Both have their pro n cons

None at all on my US set. Seriously does this really matter since 9/10 you will.put on a case or even skin



Yesterday tested only AOSIP rom but took down after half a day. This rom has more features vs Chroma but slight buggy as some app keep force closing. At the end I restored back Chroma 16nov build from my Nandroid backup ( took 500+ sec) n immediately upgrade to its latest 22nov build
I backup my nandroid directly onto my thumb drive to conserve space on phone

Mine is perfect. I think one shouldn't worry too much about such stuffs. Just a few reports are usually blown up by various websites to get reader hits. I see same problems similarly always overblown on other phones too

Correct. It should be : fastboot flashing unlock

If it is software issue than every user will be affected not only few users!

I had been using my non compatible type A to C cable daily past 9 days with a Lvsun 3A charger. I used the same cable with my Aukey 2.0 car quick charger too
I am monitoring whether the desktop charger or car charger will get burned ?? I don't quite accept Benson theory of possibility charger will get spoilt as current drawn out is lower vs original. I had only used the original cable cum charger on day one.
