Plus local sales tax (depending on where they're located; NY/CA 9%) + service fee (11%) + paypal fee (3.9% + $0.30); since the only way to transfer money to them is thru paypal

Oh. And don't ever use XE currency converter. Bank's rate is always higher. Paypal's rate, even higher

So, good luck

Sorry, Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X Don’t Support Quick Charge 2.0

QUOTE
Currently, the Nexus 6P isn't listed on Qualcomm's list of devices that have been tested and certified to be compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 chargers

Generally, if a device doesn't have the hardware to support Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 as well as if the charger doesn't have the same charging voltage and current, the result will be a longer charge time. For example: The Nexus 6P supports charging at 5V/3A, but if you only have a 1A charger, the process will take longer. Likewise, if you plug a 4A charger into the Nexus 6P which only supports 3A charging, it won't charge any faster.

Cheers,

Christine

Google’s official 5V/3A
OnePlus Adapter 5V/2A

Not sure how much faster compared to OP2. I guess that's the Type-C that people want

According to Josh, he had to take abt 2.5 to 3 hours to get the battery to full charge from completely death. How long does OP2 take again?

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.

Not really. Open the link. When OnePlus adapter was used to charge Nexus 5x, it registered as "charging rapidly". Soo, ermm misleading? I'm guessing that when you use Google official adapter on OP2, it won't show "charging rapidly". And hence, still no fast charging

Google Nexus 6P Review

Weak brightness output despite using Super AMOLED. And Michael from Pocketnow also agrees to that. So, I guess it's not something weird

Worse battery life than Nexus 6 despite having bigger battery and smaller screen

Another not so-good news

Unlocking the bootloader of the Nexus 6P seems to be blowing a hardware fuse, you can't reverse that

It looks like Google and Huawei just pulled a "Samsung Knox" with their latest collaboration - it seems that unlocking the bootloader of the Nexus 6P will blow a hardware fuse. This fuse is called QFuse, and sadly, you can't return it back to the default setting via any means if you desire to relock the bootloader of the handset.

This is most certainly a security feature aimed to make Android Pay more secure and reveal if the device has been tampered with. It is similar to Samsung's Knox in this regard, as the latter also employs a hardware fuse which clearly shows if the phone has been rooted or has had its firmware tampered with in any way. We don't know if the Nexus 5X also comes with QFuse on board, but we suppose that it does.

Mediocre battery life is also supported by other reliable tech site. So, nothing weird, again

LOL, a joke indeed

i'm not going to bend my phone purposely though.

I was expecting of a more rational and thoughtful reply. It's really not abt doing it purposely or not. The test just shows how easily it can be bent. It'll be just a matter of time before someone somewhere 'bends' it unintentionally

Oh wait. It's your money at the end of the day. But engineers exist for a reason

There's many other video/reviews proved 6P is tough enough, if the crucial weakness point avoid ( like all phones ). From mechanical engineer point of view, the battery/mobo position + button layout provide really good weakness point/area.

However point is, in which situation you 'accidentally' apply really strong pressure over that particular horizontal weakness point/area ? I personally dont see how I will, I mean my butt are round and saggy  laugh.gif , not strip of rock hard thin bone  rolleyes.gif  and I dont put phone in back pocket and sit on it like an idiot.

It's the same bendgate fiasco on ip6, they didnt design the casing to be press against small horizontal area, but the standard test procedure are using round normal size meaty butt. Bear in mind that iPhone even have thin PCB ( which are strong and elastic ) across that weakness point/area.

I'm surprise you didnt post link to order Motorola Droid Turbo 2 or X Force here  whistling.gif
tldr : Phones are fragile electronic despite all the tech.

In which situation? LOL, isn't that too obvious? That would have to be while sitting. I'm pretty sure we all sit, don't we? Or, some actly stand all his life? Nahh, I don't think so. Anyway, I guess some things need to be reminded, in case people have forgotten. Let's take at the look at the link below that shows how his phone bends as a result of real-life impacts, and what the person who experienced it said

http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/23/iphone...ending-pockets/

"Yesterday, I left at 10am with the iPhone in my left FRONT pocket of my suit pants. I drove 4 hours to a wedding, which also involved a lot of sitting during dinner etc but also 2-3 hours of dancing. I left at 2am and went to bed, driving home 4 hours back.

So in total, the 6 Plus was about 18 hours in my pocket while sitting mostly.

As I lay it on the coffee table and sat down on the couch to relax from the drive (yes, sitting again), I saw the reflection of the window in the iPhone slightly distorted."

Again, these are real-life impacts, not tests. Tests are meant only to shorten the duration of the outcome, which instead of occurring after hours like the above, it could be shown merely after a few seconds. Yes, seconds. In the case of 6P, it took less than 5 seconds. Not only that it bent, it crushed. At least iPhone survived from crushing, despite bending after extreme force is applied. And this bending occurred while putting the phone in his FRONT pocket. I wonder who puts his phone in his back pocket. Women perhaps. But their physiques are not strong enough to cause an impact though. Most cases, if not all, recorded were of men's

Regarding the weakness point, I'm not sure it's something that we can be sure of its position. Once it's inside of our pocket, and our body moving while sitting, the phone could be at any place. And the force of us bending between our legs and body could be applied while the phone is at any position inside the pocket. Jerry was also not aware of its weakness point prior to the test. As usual, he put both his thumbs in the middle of the phone, and it(the weakness point) only showed after it(the phone) crushed

Also, regarding physiques, if he were really that strong, I wonder why other phones he's tested didn't bend or crush. He tried a few times, and he even tried to twist them. But, nothing. Or at least, didn't crush like 6P







Same person, same physique, same force

Summary: just remove your phone from your pocket before you sit, like women. Apart from preventing it to bend, you could also show off your phone tongue.gif

I am happy to announce that we are starting initial deployment of the Android 6.0 Marshmallow upgrade for the following devices and channels:
- 2015 Moto X Style (3rd Gen) in both Brazil and India retail
- 2014 Moto X (2nd Gen) in Brazil retail

Full deployment will proceed in stages over the next few weeks. It is not yet available for pull, you will receive a notification on your phone when you are able to update your phone. We have also started the approval process for 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd Gen) and expect to push it out in the next few weeks.

Those who claimed Sony or HTC or Samsung (or LG, nice joke) sends out updates faster than Motorola does is just purely ignorant of how updates have been in the past. But ignorance is a bliss, I guess

Added: Motorola was faster than Nexus last year, but they learned the lesson. The builds that Nexus gave was super buggy. So this year, they have had to really test the build so that the users won't suffer, like they did last year. And that's why too some devices skipped the super buggy 5.0. Waste of time and resources. At the end of the day, send out faster updates but buggy also kena blame. Skip so that users won't have to suffer also kena blame. Pity Motorola. People just don't see how good they are, hardware and software wise. Solid phones all the way
