i agreee the currency drop like shlt.. but the huawei brand push price..  vmad.gif
there samsung..and there lg..

this is huawei bro..i was suprise they release with that kind of price..

even xiaomi can release phone with high spec below 1k..

but who care right.. it's nexus..

enjoy your huawei nexus  thumbup.gif  smile.gif

6P comes with near-ultrapixel camera sensor ( xiaomi at best also average camera quality ) 240fps slow mo etc.
Latest Samsung made AMOLED display ( no need explain )
Full metal body ( xiaomi at best also metal frame )
Latest Android version ( xiaomi are extremely slow in update Android, my mi3 with latest MIUIv7 still 4.4 KitKat )

The best XiaoMi phone ( Note Pro ) offered are ~USD480. Nexus 6P ( USD549 for 64GB ) are so much better value if compare like this biggrin.gif

Spoke too early Huawei Malaysia might bring it in themselves (check my latest post)

Or you can just wait for sales like this

Curious to know your desired price. 399 or lower? Lol

I guess you are the type of consumer who is willing to pay high premium for brand which in turn nothing but just a name

In which part this is 'nothing but just a name' ? rclxub.gif

Because 6P is not 'nothing but just a name'. It has good h/w ( new Sony camera, latest Samsung AMOLED panel, full metal build ) and latest s/w support from Google. Apa lu mau biggrin.gif

It's good value, USD499. Just our ringgit weak so everything looks to be expensive.

I was not referring to N6P if you look at my earlier posts  sweat.gif

Agreed to your points.  That's why I said earlier gotta be fair to huawei

Certain people not happy with this pricing coz their perception of brand name.  If it's Sammy or LG product, then they are ok. Funny isn't it? To me, brand is just a name and shouldn't be used solely to judge a product

My bad if I missed it.

QUOTE(ck.chunkeat @ Oct 2 2015, 05:24 PM)
Not to forget that the best thing about a nexus is the smoothness and the support from both community and google. When that combined with good hardware, you usually can't go very wrong with it.

Still, I will wait for battery life review. not too worried about camera since it scored so high at DXOmark, but will still want to see some review from others.

On top of that, i will want to wait for first batch to see if there's any glaring problem with the phone. (The nexus 6 have the back cover problem.)

Price wise, i rmb nexus 5 is 349usd when it came out, but they have bad battery, camera and speaker, nexus 5 also uses plastic as material. so for 150 more, we get a top camera, big battery, double front speaker,metal body, finger print scanner, usb type-c, fast charge( 0-100% in 1hour 30min) it seems to me that it is very much worth it. biggrin.gif
*
I wont upgrade immediately ( unusual for a big Nexus fans biggrin.gif ) because my N6 actually holding nicely, my complaint are not so impressive SOT and slow camera ( which *might able to fix via new camera apps ).

De facto for how soon my upgrade are how good the SOT will be ( or maybe there's no good SOT sweat.gif ) then my money could be safe.

QUOTE(dAMe @ Oct 2 2015, 06:36 PM)
If ppl from UK, europe, aussie etc that got official release of N6P.. I can understand la they complain about the higher price than US..
But, malaysia don't have official price yet..the only prices are those coming from importers..currency exchange + tax + shipping ..of coz la expensive
This one I don't understand why ppl here complain
*
There wont be official Google price, we can only hope Huawei bring in and without crazy price tag hmm.gif

Not sure if they develop the multi-windows themselves or recycling Google's one in M preview.

I order the 128gb Silver model...my second favorite color is black. Anyway the back color will end up unimportant as I always use a flipcase with the phone
Had been checking eBay but not much choice yet. Will get a flipcase from ebay for it.

Remember to check the camera cut out, I read some of the case leaked early doesnt have proper cut out and thus blocked the laser sensor sweat.gif

Huawei from where actually?

Not from US right?

So why need to compare RM to USD?

But wait, our RM is weak against all other currencies too.

Because Nexus are Google product aka US product.

10.5 hours for screen on time. So probably the best nexus battery live ever. Tinny not so quality speaker though

It was wifi browsing test at 200 nits, so result are much higher than our normal usage, but from comparison graph, it's much better than 6P and almost on par with 6S+, really not bad rclxms.gif

But stress the GPU and things got a bit meh

Overall it's OK. Only missing information to make an informed decision is how good is the headphones drivers is.
*
In 6P's defense, it has QHD resolution, see G4's super low score. What surprise me is 5X, I guess the low end GPU in S808 is the cause cool.gif

QUOTE(zhou86 @ Oct 21 2015, 08:07 AM)
I find that statement by Josh strange, others claim the N6P comes with USB-C fast charging tech, and charging was fast.

OP2 is different, because although it uses USB-C, it DOESN'T have the fast charging feature that comes with the USB-C. MKBHD took like 3hours+ to fully charge the OP2.
*
USB-C doesnt specifically have high power profile ( for fast charging ) as standard, that's how OnePlus tricked consumers.

I still believe fast charging for USB Type C is still not fully developed in S810 chips.

Based on reviews, the only non USB Type C phone that really employs fast charging is Moto X Style which takes only 90 mins to full up.

I guess I will be waiting for next year phones with S820. S820 will be the only chip that really take advantage of Type C fast charging
*
S810 doesnt have the power management chip to control charging voltage ( it's separate chip ), that's why OP2 dont have while 6P had fast charging.
Moto X Style using Qualcomm standard, while 6P using USB forum's high power profile standard developed for USB type C.

USB Type C Fast Charging is supported by Mashmallow. - Google IO 2015

Oh wait, what does Fast Charging to do with OS (Masmallow)? Isn't hardware based or does both related? Any engineer can explain?
*
Only engineering graduate tongue.gif
Output + Medium + Input ( Power adapter + cable + power management chip ) all must support that technology. Reason for rubbish-OP2 not support quick charging tech is last component IINM.

QUOTE(Matrix @ Oct 21 2015, 06:06 PM)
I dun like:

1) 5.7" - Too small. Minimum 6"
2) > 1080p resolutiom. 1080p is enough and most compatible. Later some software can't run properly. Not to mention it will slow down the graphic performance and waste more battery power.
3) Snapdragon 810 - this dragon breaths fire and cook your phone later.
4) Camera - 12MP?? Good or not??? hmm.gif Most phones already 13Mp standard. If it has good sensor ok lah. Otherwise, looks kinda outdated.
*
For my eyes, 1080P max can go 5.5" only. Larger than that should need QHD already. Try compare Z Ultra against G3/4

Reason Google opt for 12MP sensor are for large pixel size, which almost guarantee improved image quality.
Megapixel are not much guarantee for quality. Try compare 16MP smartphone camera to 12MP full frame DSLR whistling.gif

Is the Nexus USB Type C which only supports USB 2.1 and not 3.0 is hardware related?

If it so. Will it mean this phone will never pull a continuum like features if Google or any other developers pull that off?
*
Ya, confirmed it's not USB3.0 on new Nexuses sweat.gif but it's ok for me as long it has high power profile. Continuum features from Google, not even heard of rumors so even future added, it'll be on newer Nexus already.

Due to payment safety, safety implementation is required.

Root always means no secure.
*
I wont say it's 'no secure' more like 'no protection'. It's perfectly fine if user know how and what, sadly many do it for the sake of do it, and when something wrong, they blame others for not warning/stopping them.

I mean having pay system, root shall not apply and every company must do some hardware trigger and block the pay system for safety purposes.

So no surprise Huawei add such trigger in Nexus 6P
*
Google put in that requirement for Android Pay, I do understand that, as it's money related, Google just protecting themselves.
I think if Google able to perfect or improve apps data backup, I can completely dump root. My remaining usage for root is mainly TiBu.

Alot of ppl say the black band thing makes the phone look ugly, but i think look nice and unique

I think most people who said it's ugly was before real product release, because during rumor time, the black bar protrude too much and looks weird. Final product's black bar protrude subtle only.
