Super Hot!!! Google has nailed it with this phone. Superb screen, good speakers, excellent camera and stock android without any bloatware. Security updates every month, fantastic customer service..and the list goes on. I have had a few nexus phones and they were great as well especially Nexus 5. But recently they were missing the premium feel untill this one. Really happy with this phone. Any discounts on this phone are worth it.

Good to hear it. Not quite the same though are they? Large phablet design, front facing speakers, AMOLED display (if that floats your boat), stock Android with fast updates, more premium build quality.
The G4 is a great phone for £225 but I don't think the two are interchangeable, and someone after a Nexus 6P wouldn't necessarily get on with the G4 - though it's good that you like it.

Huawei has come out with tons of phones but does anybody really bother to look or talk about them? Google engineers select the hardware design, features and software. To put it simply, IPhones are made by a company called Foxxconn. But do you ever refer it as Foxconn IPhone? No. Hence it is Google Nexus 6P!!

Got one of these for Christmas, it's a wonderful phone. Made my previous HTC One M8 seem old hat immediately. Highly recommended!!!

You are quite right. A world of only Hyundai i10s is too grim to dwell on for more than a second or two.

To be fair, it was high end for the price. It's still the phone I use daily, although I'm looking to upgrade.
If you look at the specs though, it was upper-mid range, but it wasn't up there at the top. The nearest Samsung (Galaxy S4) to the Nexus 4 release was around 3.5 months difference. So if we compare them, the S4 had a better screen (1920), a better camera by a mile (not hard, my N4 camera sucks), a better forward facing camera, a better CPU, external storage (if it matters to you), a bigger battery, A-GPS, better wifi (a and ac support over the N4) and probably others I've missed.
I'm not talking ill of the N4, it's one of the best price:performance phones ever released by a long shot, but I'd struggle to class it as a top end phone, even at release, considering there were others that were clearly better very shortly after. Would cost you a lot more though!

Sorry to go off topic a little, but have any of the Chinese domestic makers upped their camera game lately to be comparable with the LG G4, S6, Note 5, Nexus 6p, Xperia Z5 cameras? They all seem to shout about sony exmoor sensors etc, but seem some way behind the big players in this area. I'd happily buy Chinese OEM once the camera's catch up as it's the main feature in my phone that I need/want to be as good as possible.

I know, I'm running a slimArmor on my Nexus 5 and it has been really good. However the range compared to OtterBox is limited, and they do not do anything for my Nexus 9 tablet either :disappointed:

The fact is that you don't have to buy these phones - there's clearly a market for them though, and they'd be stupid not to tap into it. I'm equally baffled by how much people spend on beauty products, clothes and bags - with minimal to zero resale value - but they get joy out of it and can afford it so I leave them to it.
In the end, these phones represent choice: living in a world with only Ulefone type devices would be like living in a world where people only shopped at Primark and drove Hyundai i10s.

Well you say that, but the LG G4 is a comparable phone for most intents and purposes at £225. There are also numerous Chinese phones at less than £200 that are similarly specced. Take Ulefone Power - 6050mAh battery, 3GB RAM, MicroSD, Fingerpint sensor, decent Sony f1.8 camera, metal alloy body, CGGlass, vanilla android with MM coming in March and it's £129. Hard for me to justify something 3 times the price that essentially does the same things.
Of course it depends on what you prioritise and what kind of user you are, but in the same way I have two cars with 350+hp in them and very very rarely get chance to use the power, most folk buy phones and then only use a fraction of their power...

The Nexus 4 16GB was £279 at launch and was a mid-range phone.
The Nexus 5x 16GB is £299 at launch and is a mid-range phone.
It's a 20 quid difference.
The only time the Nexus 4 fell to a "couple of hundred" was just before the Nexus 5 launched. The tech inside the Nexus 4 had aged a lot by then (it was only mid range to start with). It was still a great phone, but it was significantly cheaper to produce after time had passed.
So hold out until the same time has passed for the Nexus 5p, and we might see something similar. The 6p is a premium phone though, it's designed for people who want a clean Android OS ROM and a very high quality handset. Far from the Nexus 4 market.

Yep. It's the H1512 model. A lot of sellers on eBay have the H1511 (US) model. Less/different LTE bands.
Picked up a 64gb, as new (it is), on eBay for £420 (H1512 model). Awesome phone. Won't need to upgrade for years. And should get updates faster and longer than Samsung seem able to manage these days.

They also make the Nexus 5X, which has lower specs and is cheaper.
Personally I want the specs in the 6X and I am willing to pay this price for it - it is only the enormous size and bending issues that put me off.

Some people just have the money, they have so much they can spend it on jewel encrusted mobile phones if they want and they do exist. There's Porsche designed mobile phones which cost tens of thousands.
There's people that will have gold plated or jewel encrusted hypercars, just because they have too much money. That's humans for you. This isn't that expensive in relation to the ones in that article sadly.

There are hundreds of companies doing that (if you look at Chinese imports on Bangood etc) and a fair few on the UK market. Pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap is a business model which works for some companies, but not usually companies wanting to portray a high-end image.
If you're a company looking to show off your latest OS then the best way to do it is on the latest hardware.
They also make the nexus 5X of course, which is the lower level alternative.
MotoG of course was released when Google owned Motorola, you could argue that that was an accessible phone inspired largely by Google, so they have been there, done that.
As for Gold - because apple do I guess.
As for real world specs - erm, they aren't alien (but I get what you mean)
The 6P is a fantastic phone, just a bit too big, shame the 5X didn't have the same internal specs - but then it wouldn't be cheaper.
shatteredneon to mboarder

I agree, bring back the nexus 4 pricing, i.e. a couple of hundred max.

Still too much money for a phone IMO. They all do "the same thing" i.e. digital music player, web surfing, take some photos. Can't see the need to spend £400+ on a phone when there's loads of good phones at less than £200. And those manufacturers probably pay some tax too...

The USA version is missing band 20, which is one of the two bands that Three use in the UK. So if your network is Three, be prepared for poor 4G coverage.
