Like the majority of others on here, I've had no issue with lag on mine, and I've had it since it was released - still as smooth and fast as it was on day 1.

Can you link an article that mentions lag? From what I was aware of (my own experience and what I've read) this is the most lag-free android phone

By this:
I assume you mean the sound & notification settings?
"Pulse Notification Light"?
If so - No idea sorry :/

Yep, this is a very fast phone. I do experience the occasional bout of lag but that's normal on all devices. 95% of the time it screams.

I have one of these and it bent slightly so there's a kink at the power button.
It's cheaply made its not actually made from a solid materials.
Shame.

Oh and I was able to bend it back into shape with slight pressure from my hands.
Never experienced this on an s3 s4 z3 m8 mi note or 6s plus.

Im due upgrade (from a Sony Z2) in a few weeks and the only phone that takes my fancy is the 6P but ive been out the phone scene for awhile so no idea when the next version is due out and if its worth waiting?
What you guys think?

Wait for the MWC next week and see what the big names have to offer.
Next Nexus won't be released for at least 9 months.

Ok my notification light is now working, but there appears to be a an issue with the 4g lte side of things, it keeps reverting back to showing a h, and I can't get 4g back at all...wth. Any ideas guys?
Soldato
This is a well known design flaw, shown in a video that went viral. Most of us concluded you'd still have to do well to be able to bend it in specifically that point... so... well done I guess!
Really? First I've heard of it... Plenty of complaints about size and build quality but software wise its butter like compared to any other android phone I've used.
Love mine, had it a good while now and happy with almost everything. Only thing I don't like is the stock android positioning of the back button (I don't understand why such key buttons are in hard to reach places, even worse on ios), I also don't like the slippy back. My note 4 is perfect for holding, super grippy back and semi sharp edges plus it's a little thinner and lighter too. Nothing makes me want to return to Samsung though.

I've tried to bend it back into place and it bent right back with very little effort I've no idea how it bent in the first place.
It's a poor quality device.
Search 'Nexus 6p lag' in Google and you get results back. Doesn't mean its as a widespread issue as you seem to think it is.
Also, you're surprised a Google Nexus device has Google apps on it? Who would have thought. If you want bloat, see Samsung.
The only time I've really seen any 'lag' per se is when loading a website in Chrome via a slower connection thats either not well optimised for mobile or that is advert heavy. Oh and when youy access Dev options after a fresh boot it hangs for a split second before opening the menu. Other than that its buttery smooth, and FWIW I use Nova.

yes, lots of lag issues like is said. even the samsungs ive owned, most of the bloatware has been google. it seems google is the new samsung. stock android is quickly getting worse, the devices are still having the build quality issues while samsung are very quickly improving it's software and design build is always top of the range.

No lag issues here, it flies compared to my old note

I recall you recommending rooting your Android devices. So have you rooted this 6p? If yes, then there may be your issue. If no, they why not do what you yourself recommend?

anyone know if there's a way to set max volume of the ringer/notifications as lower than the current max volume without rooting? i'm used to every android device before this needing to be full blast so i can ensure i hear the ringing at work, but now when i go to full volume without thinking it is way too loud. i need it to be about 70%
i've only ever used full volume or nothing so this is odd for me having to set it at anything else, and really not that easy to constantly adjust to find the right spot

All phones can be broken. I personally don't think it's poor quality.
What did you actually do to bend it?
