I can't wait for this phone... 810 or not.
Waiting to see what the other cases will look like.
And interesting lock screen image they have on there.. is that what it's going to look like?
That seems like the Emotion UI from Huawei.
Marshmallow is almost the same as Lollipop.
(I guess you can flash Emotion UI anyway, or just port the lock app )
thats just a faux image, it doesnt have the hump on the back which is shown in every previous leak. just a placeholder image dude

Ok. I was only curious.
And I never mentioned the hump on the back.
But the CASE shows it has room for the hump.

That case doesn't have any room for a hump. The camera, mic and fp scanner are in the right spot tho (according to the leaks) just missing the hump. The leaks could have been a a early prototype tho. We'll see on the 29th

True indeed....the camera and sensors are in the right spot...just missing the hump. I hope they got rid of the hump. I really want the phone but will not get it with that stupid hump in there.
They honestly should have kept the nexus 6 moto design. One thing they could learn from apple and Samsung for that matter is to keep a great design and just build on it till its perfect. They could just made shamu smaller and added the fingerprint scanner where the moto symbol was and that's it.

i liked the moto design it was just a tad too big. and i dont mind the huawei stuff. their premium phones look and feel pretty amazing in the hand. and their fp scanner tech is definitely quick to respond and on point. one of the reasons why i enjoy the nexus line so much (besides the glory and awesomeness that is stock android) is that you know the new nexus wont look the same as last years model. it feels like youre getting a brand new phone every year not just an upgrade

That's true about getting a brand new phone....only problem is if the new phone isn't to your liking you end up waiting 2 years for a new device...hence why I'm using a 2013 N5 instead of N6. I like the idea of a new phone every year with an updated model 6 months later.
i guess the images of the case i was looking at (with a small hump where the hump is) fooled me. I mean, am i the only one who sees it?

Guys I don't know what are you saying.. I. Clearly see the hump.
Look at the side images.
The hump is just 2 mm, people got fooled by the contrasting colors in pictures but it's not nearly as bad as it seems..

either way you can can clearly see that that photo was shopped. just look at the cut outs. and ill admit that with the new leaks that came out yesterday the hump doesnt look anywhere near as prominent as it did in that 1st leak . i loving the black color though. im already sold on it tbh lol
It's a nexus device, must be original Marshmallow

but waiting to see if spigen is going to have anything for the 6p.
Reading the past posts, the op is definitely the 6P case...also if, IF I get one I'm looking at that Verus case on Amazon... pretty slick.
I'm wondering if/when Spigen will release their cases. I almost exclusively buy their cases every year but I always try other brands as well. I'm the end k use Spigen/Ringke slim on a daily basis so I hope they get announced soon
Does anyone know something about Diztronic cases for N6PP

Hello Everyone. I am here today to talk to you about Project Pluto.
This is a small update, I have been working with anodized aluminum for a little while and i found that it scratches a bit too often.
That is why I made some design changes, the top and bot of the phone are still dark grey aluminum but the center is composed of the glass in the front and a soft touch material that wraps around the device.
This soft touch material in a bit higher (0.5-1mm) than the aluminum so that when laid on a desk the aluminum does not touch the surface.
The main advantages that this design has is the high durability, better grip and a removable back cover which can lead to a replaceable battery if spares are available.
​
Please leave feedback bellow, I want to make something that people will enjoy using.
Disclaimer FCC and CE logos are for demonstration purposes only.
I think this is a great idea maybe you should start a kickstarter page. I would love a phone designed by fans for fans and not just for profit (although i'm sure there would be some)
Also don't forget Micro SD
Nice looking piece of hardware.
Looks like a radio... No offense, just stating what I see.

Up to 32 gig SD Card, forgot to put it in the specs info. The plan is to ask for funding on kickstarter after a few prototypes are ready,
Funding is needed to buy the parts for the first batch of phones and also for the FCC approval process if it is needed.
And yes, the goal is for this to be a 5 person project, so profits are going to be low.
Hey if you get a page up and you have a prototype or two I'd be in i love the idea and I would imagine it would be nexus like with updates
And I bet once this becomes farther along you will have a lot of support from on here.
The look of it reminds me of the N9
Also as someone who is right handed having the power button on the left makes it slightly awkward to reach.

When the kickstarter page is up I'll be sure to send you a message,
The design looks a bit n9y and a bit like the old ipod nanos. and some iphone thrown in there.
Also the lock button is on the right, initially the picture of it was supposed to be on top of the "back picture" but it looked weird on Photoshop.
The lock button is on the right, basically the same place the iPhone has it.
I like the phone. Great specs. What is your target date
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
My personal change list
-Add a little more room to top and bottom and put on a front facing camera
-Round the edges on the top and bottom as well you don't want when people grip the phone for them to have sharp edges and the bottom corners
Also about the power button
-Ohh ok sorry when i was looking at it it looked reversed
Also what kind of screen? i know the resolution but what kind of material for the screen

Front Facing camera, like NFC can not be added for 2 reasons, thickness. the current one is 11.5mm thick already, and price, the current specs are already quite expensive. a ffc would add another 12 dollars in manufacturing costs. and could not be done with the company we are looking to partner with.
the top and bottom don't feel like hard edges because of the sides are rounded. I've tried many ways to round it but I cannot find a way in which it works well and doesn't look stupid. If you find a way draw it and ill add to the design and see if people like it
The screen is regular amoled with qhd resolution

It doesnt necessarily have to run Android, it is the most supported open source OS.
but the hardware will be open, meaning someone could port meego or tizen to it.

Ahh ok well the FFC and NFC aren't necessities but they would be cool yet i can understand where you are coming from it seems like the cost for the phone itself would be close to the selling price. Also good to know that the edges aren't to rough and are slightly rounded.
Is it possible to get a size comparison between this phone and maybe one or two other ones to give us an idea on what the size of it will be
Ps ohhhh i was hoping for amoled

The back reminds be too much of a radio really with how the speaker grill is designed and the bland back. Plus the object protruding out of the top reminds me of an antenna unless that is simply a arrow.
If you are going for a minimalistic style then you've kept on tune. Just simply not my style.

I'm on my third s3, and of course it has gaps between the glass and the bezel. The gaps aren't symetric so it makes me think that they shouldn't be there...
Three weeks ago when I got my third s3 I said I was just going to deal with it. But after removing my case to put on my new sgp curved screen protector, I really don't know if I should stand for this...

I got my first replacement from a local VZ store. I didn't notice the screen gap on the first one, but the home button was "loose".
The second one was a replacement for intermittent network issues from a tech on the phone. That one definitely had the gap issues.
Now I don't know what to do. Maybe contact Samsung? I'm really frustrated because I don't think it's possible to clean out the dust.. I pre-ordered my original phone, so I've technically had the s3 for a while... Am I screwed?
I would keep taking it back till your happy.

I'm looking at it now on a smaller screen, and I can admit it is hard to see. If you have a s3 you will notice that the screen is flush with the bezel. In the second pic, you will notice it a white gap between the screen and bezel. This is because there is a fairly large gap which has already started to fill with dust. I'm a 22 y/o professional so I'm not rolling around in dirt either. It's honestly unacceptable.
Damnit...your starting to make me paranoid, and now I can't tell if I have this problem or not. Wish I never read this post

same here. the marble white phone i have appears to look just fine to me.
My white one looks fine except my home button is quite loose, if you put a little bit of pressure on it then it moves around a bit... normal?
In all honesty, I would call Verizon support. Talk to someone in customer service. Tell them exactly what has happened about the two other phones and then tell them that at this point, becasue of all the trouble you've had, you are regretting being Verizon customer and that you see no reason they can't get you a quality product - that no one should have to accept an inferior quality product with any defect at all, let alone 3 of them.
They'll fix it, I'd all but gaurentee.

I'm sorry for making you guys paranoid I'm a quality engineer so I spend my week looking for flaws in the devices in test, so of course that mindset trickles over to the things I own.
That being said, I had an OG Incredible that I got around release date that NEVER had an issue. The only reasons I went with the s3 were to lock into unlimited for another 2 years, bigger screen and 4g. If I really had to I could activate the inc right now now.

It seems that every home button moves around a little when putting pressure on it. However, on my first s3 if I slide my finger from left to right or right to left over the button with no pressure being applied the button would make a clicking noise and move.
Try doing that. If it happens, I would say it is too loose.

Watching the video at work without sound. He gets to the 'unboxing' bit of the S4, looks all around the box then opens it. Takes the phone out, puts it down, takes the USB/plug out, puts it down, then takes out the earphones and puts them down. Empty box - next...!
.. That looks incredibly cheap. More like something you'd get from the discarded boxes rack in the supermarket...
Yes, it's just a box. I'm a designer, packaging design is part of my job. This sorry excuse for a bananabox is rather insulting. The S3's box (at least for my blue one) looked much more chique.
Not that this box will stop me from buying it

Hi,
I created a little concept about the successor of the Nexus 5. Maybe its called Nexus 6 or Nexus 5 (2014).
Rumors say that it will have a 5.5" display so I decided to build this in my concept. Its just a 2D render, not a 3D or something.
I were really amazed that this 5.5" display fits in a body which is just a few millimeters larger than the one of the Nexus 5. I compared the two.
So final question: What do you think about my concept?

Perhaps making the device thicker by a mm or two would prevent the random touches you mention.
Would also mean a larger (higher capacity) battery could be installed.
Though the almost bezel-less design, when used with a protective case/bumper may cause issues with screen edge touches.
k-c
Nice to hear your opinions :thumbup:
For those bezels they might have to move the buttons to the back ala LG G2/3. I like it though.
The bezel is too small, and the fact that the bottom has a different shape to the top really annoys me. Like the speaker grille though.
No bezel barely will mean bigger cases would be overlapping the screen space. Not good. For marks, or using pie or sidebars.
I like it! Never did care for Bezels...they sux's!
Do any of you guys realize and/or think about the implications of razor thin bezels? Disregarding the issue of the digitizer registering touches simply by holding the device, there are physical/engineering issues to consider. The screen has to be held within some type of housing, not just to protect the screen but the rest of the phone itself, and the bezels on your mockup are less than 1 mm thick. Exactly what type of material do you envision the housing to be made of? Even aluminum wouldn't have enough strength at under a single mm thick. Titanium? What do you think that would do to the price of the phone?
So, to achieve bezels like this would require either a significant increase in cost or a significant reduction in durability, and this is on top of the compromise in usability. And for what purpose? Exactly what is gained from having such thin bezels?
Lastly, and not to sound like an ass, but wouldn't it be better to think up something new and/or innovative instead of just marching down road obvious? Seriously... larger screen, thinner bezels? Let me guess, you see it being a 4k resolution screen too... for no other reason than just because.
I'm sure the OP isn't actually designing it.
The makers know what works. And regardless..... Most things point to no more nexus phones anyway. ?
I'm not a graphics designer or somewhat else and I'm not familiar with building phones so that was just a try how I thought it could look.
Nevertheless many thanks for your opinions and comments.

Did you see that come from his lips?
Otherwise just yet another rumor.

Chill out man... The kid just gave HIS concept of what he desires in the next nexus phone!!!

It looks really nice. I would not think twice to buy
Looks like an HTC..i don't like these big screen on the modern smartphone, 5" are the best size for me!

Hi,
I created a little concept about the successor of the Nexus 5. Maybe its called Nexus 6 or Nexus 5 (2014).
Rumors say that it will have a 5.5" display so I decided to build this in my concept. Its just a 2D render, not a 3D or something.
I were really amazed that this 5.5" display fits in a body which is just a few millimeters larger than the one of the Nexus 5. I compared the two.
So final question: What do you think about my concept?

Maybe HTC or LG again,l don't know
but please no Samsung
I decided to create this thread for those of us that got the device already and want to discuss our first impressions of the device. It seems us posting stuff in the shipping thread is cluttering it up for people who are still waiting for the device.

The build quality is pretty astounding. I picked up my Pixel XL and kind of felt bad for it.
It's not as snappy as the Pixel.
The hardware buttons take some getting used to.
Haven't messed with the camera yet.
Textra isn't working properly and I'm not sure why. The send button doesn't do anything. I had to enable "use enter key to send"

I agree about the Pixel being snappier. I have the smaller pixel and it's for sure snappier and more fluid. I love this device though.. It's beautiful. I haven't messed with the camera much either yet.

My first impression was actually pretty bad. The rest of my post actually belongs in the build quality thread so Ill put it there.
The design is very nice! Everything else like software pretty bad.
I think this is the fastest time I have decided to return a device

How can software be bad? It's stock Android. Didn't you know what stock Android is?

As far as snappyness, is it something like the transitions being slow or something else?
To make it more snappy, go into developer options and set the transition speed to .5 instead of 1. That should make things seem to zip.

animations to .5 is what I do on every device I own as one of the first things out of the box. It's for sure nowhere near as fluid as the pixel. It does open apps up quicker in some cases, but scrolling through lists, webpages, the feed in Google now is not as smooth as it is on the Pixel
Feels so good in the hand, update was waiting when I tried to set up. Have to see if it's not snappy as others have mentioned and I too have used pretty much every flagship so will immediately know if this thing lags or hiccups are there. Will update in few hours.

Interesting, but not surprising. The Pixel has proven again and again that it is a finely polished machine software wise. The kicker for me keeping this device or returning/selling it will be the Pixel 2 XL. Nothing else really blips my radar otherwise. OEM theming from the likes of LG/Samsung writes them off since they also are always locked down as all heck. After using a Nexus I am hoping the Essential can gain some form of similar following, but if not, Pixel 2 may be the only option... We shall see...

If the XL 2 is smaller footprint wise than the current XL then I'll most likely get that. I like smaller phones. I would have loved a smaller Pixel 2 with no bezels. I'm kinda pissed at Google for not making two exactly the same devices like they did for the first gen (with exception of screen size/resolution and battery) this time around. If I want the smaller pixel, I'm gonna a have to deal with the bezels again. Lol last year I ordered both the xl and smaller one. Returned the smaller one and kept the XL then switched to the smaller one and freaking love it. I have Google sending me a replacement (figured I'd get more to sell a refurbished device than an almost year old device) and now I'm not sure I want to sell it. I might just hold on to it until the 2 drops.

My only gripe I can see from the leaks is if LG really is making the XL, well then we have LG's shoddy build quality to worry about.
Luckily it looks like the V30 isn't as bad as the G6/G5,etc and hopefully we may possibly be past the bootloop issue of the past 2 years from them? (Knock on wood).
HTC may not have the bezzle sizes figured out, but their build quality has been pretty reliable working with metal for a long time now. LG is still new to that gig.
I wouldn't trust LG at all. The V30 looks nice, and I have seen V20s out in the wild, but after dealing with the G5 and past devices I wouldn't trust them at ALL.
Not sure what you guys are talking about. This is much faster than the gaalxy s8 I turned off and it the same speed if not slightly better than the pixel.
Not sure if it's because I have been using a friend's S8 during the time I was waiting for my Essential Phone to show up or what, but the Essential phone looks really nice but the sharp edges make it feel like a much larger phone than it really is.
Oh and the camera lag...
It is a bit upsetting with all the anticipation while waiting and I am already considering returning it.

Could it be due to all the negativity, it has tainted your first impressions?

Guess I should clarify. It's almost as if the screen sensitivity is not calibrated right. When I try to scroll very slow it is not smooth at all. Doing stuff like fast scrolling is fine but slow movements not so much.

Coming from a 6p and 5x I like this phone. NIce feel in the hand, it's substantial . Fits in my 5x case but of course the buttons are rong lol.
I am going to have to play with display as it doesn't turn on quickly when I pick it up, sure its just a setting.
Edit: nope, still wont turn on when I pick up the ph. Still does not register touches around the edge for menus and such, that kinda annoying.
All my apps set up much quicker than I remember from the other 2 devices and it will take me a few hours to get it setup the way I like it ( root plz )
The cut out for front cam will take some getting used to.
Edit: used to it
God stock android is just yech, I can hardly wait till substratum is rootless or we get root.
Sound wise I'll listen to it at work tomorrow and see how the adapter works with my sennies but I already had a Tron BT adapter that I really like.
Edit: sounds great with adapter or BT. Adapter lets the sennies use its inline controls for vol, skip.
I am less fussy than most ppl and I needed a phone, couldn't wait for big G to get off their butts so this.
I hope Essential gets out updates in a timely fashion, if that doesn't happen THEN it gets the axe.
Edit:
Still not sure what i'll do, its a really nice phone. IF Essential steps up and TELLS us something, i'll be much happier.
Cables: PH1 is REALLY fussy about what cable you use, what worked for my 6P might for PH1, only google cable worked when using fastboot.
Android Auto sometimes connects and likely disconnects no matter what cable .
Fingerprint reader is hella fast ! BUT now I can't get into smart security tab? grrr
