Solution? Don't purposely force bend the phone in such an extreme manner. Fixed ...

Applicable no matter what device.

All phones will break if you abuse them in such extreme fashions. Expecting anything other is madness. The only thing these videos prove is that idiocy is in great supply whilst common sense seems to be a dwindling commodity.

How long did you have it?
You have to remember with a new device, the battery needs to cycle a few days before you start getting a standard battery life. I can play 1 hour of Asphalt at 60% brightness and lose less than 20% battery.

I get 5 hours SOT if I do play asphalt for an hour, 6.5 hours without playing games. (roughly 15 hours usage).

5 days. I needed a recharge by 2pm with the 6p whereas my 6s+ regularly gets me to midnight or later from 5am when I'm up for work. I'm on my phone constantly reading and responding to emails, obtaining patient labs, looking up information, messaging, not to mention the regular Twitter, news, etc, and 45 minute LTE video streaming while I run on the treadmill. Standby is definitely improved with doze in marshmallow but screen on time is not where it needs to be with a 3400mAh battery. I also never turn off location, wifi, or Bluetooth on my iPhone and feel like I need to micromanage here. Too bad. Nice hardware though, hats off to Huawei

Came so close to buying the 64g :) but then once again saw sense and decided to wait until I can play with one for real. There's nothing too annoying with the 6s plus I have at the moment and not worth losing around £100 after less than a month of owning it.

I'll stick with the 6splus for a while longer :)

Kept it around 50% for the last two days with manual after using adaptive initially. I keep the iPhone on auto because it does a good job usually. At work the overheads are quite bright so the iPhone is usually driving the brightness up to 65-85%.

Hmm maybe your location always being on caused it to drain fast (I keep mine off mostly unless using GPS). However with android your location is constantly being pinged because of Google Now. As you know this will drastically reduce battery life. Never owned the 6+ / 6s+ but I have heard its battery is outstanding, so might be best for you.

Turn off location history in Google settings to stop it constantly pinging location to Google now ;)

Thanks! Just did that. It came in useful once though. Went to a mall and could not remember where I parked :confused:. Went to google now and it gave me walking directions to my car :D

Flossy has put his real review up

One of my favourite reviewers. Always makes me laugh too

One of the few I take note of. Number one for humour by a mile.

Saw a friend with a 6p drop his onto a hard wooden floor today but didn't look like it did much at all in terms of damage. However, not long after he ordered a Spigen.

Enjoy your nexus folks. I'm sticking with the 6s Plus for a while longer. I'm off to hang around on the jailbreak forum until such time I get bored with iOS again (probably a week or so lol )

Yeah, I just don't get the point of calling out every phone as a bending phone. Stop keeping your phone in your back pocket.
These idiots aren't even doing that. We're not talking about accidental damage here, we're talking about people purposefully bending devices to artificially simulate real world issues, when no one in the real world other than morons would try and bend their 700 dollar phone in half.

The bending 6P is because people are taking it in their hands and trying to bend them.

Not really though. Just like with the iPhone 6+, user reports are starting to come in on reddit and xda with phones shipped bent or bent after a few days of usage. Not disagreeing that all phones will likely bend over time slightly with normal usage, or that people are doing something to bend their phones (they don't bend themselves). But it is pretty clear this is not the strongest phone out there.

there was a day on reddit/android where there was an influx of posts with broken glass camera back photos of the 6P. people thinking going from hot to cold environments was causing the glass to shatter. namely coming from a hot outside and then placing the phone on a cold table.

havent heard much about it since then

If it becomes a big problem, Google will deal with it. I'm not super worried.

Now that the 6P has been available for a little bit, have any new 6P owners switched from a Note 5 or 6S+?

I'm interested to hear comparisons and opinions regarding the 6P vs. Those devices.
