Any indications of the battery specs?

This is looking much more interesting than the OP2. If good battery life and the 128GB is good value for money I might go for this.

I think it looks nice, the "periscope" doesn't bother me, it is something a bit different to the usual camera area design.

The LG version is looking a little bit meh.... so if I can handle the size, I may go with this.

Not. Going. To. Happen.

Not. Going. To. Happen.

Yeah it's optimistic, I know. Thing is, I can't see much point in upgrading to another 64GB phone unless it has an microSD slot.

I liked my Nexus 4, but then I only paid £200 for it.

 

[kona786]

3450mAh battery apparently.

 

[Kainz]

Batt size confirmed....^

That's a good start.

The Nexus Camera is the best all-around camera we've ever put into a Nexus. But where it really shines is in conditions with less-than-ideal lighting. The new sensor captures more light, and the larger 1.55μm pixels absorb more in even the dimmest conditions to make your photos sharp. With a faster Google Camera app, you never miss a moment, and with the smart Google Photos app, your memories are easy to relive.

Great camera is the most desired feature for our users, and a key area for Android and Nexus

Taking great photos in good light is relatively easy and something most smartphone camera do really well. Where it gets hard is low light. 80% of photos are taken in less than ideal light so it is important to really concentrate on that We see the most challenging common photography use case is trying to take a quick snap of a kid and we have made a bunch of decisions to excel in such challenging scenarios.

Why is such situation challenging: app has to launch fast and be fast, AF needs to focus quickly and accurately, need to be very sensitive to light to catch a moving subject, and mostly such cases you have to capture as much detail as possible in most times challenging light conditions.

You know, today's leaks have resulted in me wanting one over a z5.

Do I or don't I... This would be my first Nexus smartphone.

I wonder if the new technologies involve some of which Chainfire tweeted about from his recent trip to Google HQ.

 

[andy_mk3]

Doesn't look bad. Certainly not much of an upgrade over my Nexus 6 though, and I want to try and get a good 2 years out of my Nexus 6.

 

[Azza]

Interesting.... liking the look of this!

 

[kona786]

WTF! AMOLED?

**** just got real.

 

[jrodga2k5]

It does sound like they are going down a kind of HTC ultrapixel route with the camera given the intention to bring more light in...will be interesting to see how this camera does in practice.

 

[lmfy2k]

Ok very interested in this now.

pics from the leaked slides show the camera bump to be be pretty flat against the back ( not that it matter to me)

Hoping the camera is Decent though

 

[Kreeeee]

What are the odds of having a user-replaceable battery with an all aluminium body?

After 3-4 years the battery will be dead.

I've never known anyone that's into customisation and modding as much as yourself who has never had a Nexus device.

6P turns out to be not that bad. if all is good (bat, screen etc) I can live with the periscope and larger size.

the only question is the price. hoping for 320ish for 64GB.

really wish the 5X wasn't so lame though.

 

[mustyrash]

spec looks good and slightly tempting me to upgrade from my nexus 6, aluminum body, better processor, camera, fingerprint scanner, usb c that could be set at usb 3.0 speed, only problem is that i love the huge size of the nexus 6 and the erganomic moto shape, 5.7" + the large bezzels on the 6p and the lack of wireless charging are putting me off

 

[kefan77]

not sure if we're looking at the same phone as 6P bezels seem smaller than 6 to me.
