Favorite phone so far.
Phone owned for more than a year

Has been my daily phone on Google Project Fi for the last two (2) years. Great phone, would purchase again. Only dreading the day when the battery starts to degrade and I have to look for a replacement.

I HATE MY NEXUS 6P HUAWEI!
Phone owned for more than a year

I loved the phone the first 3-4 months. I was looking for the large phone with great photo and video quality. Google Nexus got much better colors that many other phones plus a great gorilla glass. After a short time all that became worthless as soonest I disconnect the phone from the power source within 10 sec. the phone is shutting down. It takes extremely long time to charge it back. I bought Nexus 6P brand new, directly from Google, everything I believe the top of the line for about $700.
The battery is the worst. I can read articles as long as I am sitting very close by and connected to electricity. Forget making the spontaneous photo. I am constantly angry and frustrated by this phone. Really, I HATE THAT PHONE! I would give it no more than half the star!

A good phone but with battery and software issues
Phone owned for more than a year

Both this phone on 21.09.2016 an exactly one year later on 21.09.2017 it entered in bootloop. For most of the time it was a very good phone, gorgeous screen, great camera (point and shoot), very good sound quality because of the 2 front facing speakers, good build quality, fast charging, fast fingerprint senzor
After about 5-6 months i noticed that the battery life is shorter , couldn't get thru the day without a power bank.
Something annoying about this phone is that it freezes sometimes and then restarts, usually when i use Google Play Music (i use it online with a subscription),happens once a month, and if you look the issue online other users have similar problems. Last time it freazed wouldn't power up, just the Google logo apeared, and then it restarted and so on. I had Android 8 Oreo on it.

Loved the phone but i am disappointed with it, now i have a LG G6.
