It's most likely the H1511 version. Too bad for SMART subscribers.

I got the Ringke Fusion TPU case today from Lazada. I have to say, even though the Nexus imprint cutout is not precise and has a larger diameter than the actual finger print scanner, I actually like the grip. Sure it may attract some lint inside your pocket but that's cool. I think I like this Ringke Fusion TPU case just slightly better than my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case. My only concern is the Ringke TPU turning yellow overtime. We'll see..

Lemme know if you guys want some pix.

3 hours SOT and still 44% left? nindota ana ue

That's the remaining calculated SOT @ 56% battery. I believe I'm averaging 5 hours SOT. It could be less on a heavy day.

Some things about US pricing

- all US prices online do not include sales tax or eWaste fees.
- US sales tax varies by town, city, county or even state.
- Some places in the US do not have sales tax. California is not one of them
- An eWaste fee is imposed by some US states. California and Washington has them
- if you use a PH credit card the bank will use its own forex rate that is higher than the rate you can Google.
- On December 26 $1 was 47.19 pesos on Yahoo. A $1 was 49.94 pesos on Amazon.
- Pricing in the Philippines always includes 12% VAT nationwide so it appears higher than what is seen on US sites.

Depending on where you have it shipped you may not save anything. Or at most save 2-3k without PH warranty. All warranty claims will be handled by Huawei or Google in the US. Huawei PH would deny warranty but may accept repairs for a fee.

Only brand that honors international warranty that I know of is Apple. But then again a 64GB iPhone 6S Plus is $300 more.

Smart subscribers who get their Nexus 6P from North America (US or Canada) will only lack one LTE frequency band out of three. Specifically LTE Band 1 - B1 (2100).

Those using Globe would not have a problem with it.

Nexus 6P H1511 from North America (US or Canada) only supports 25 frequency bands. Nexus H1512 (for the rest of the world) only supports 32 frequency bands. Both phones have 18 matching bands. So if you travel internationally it may impact how you use your phone. The number of frequency bands may be a reason why the H1511 is cheaper than the H1512 as Google/Huawei does not need to pay additional licensing fees for it.

If you will be traveling to the US with the non-US Nexus the most compatible telco are AT&T, Cricket Wireless, H2O Wireless, T-Mobile, Ting (GSM), US Cellular and Verizon Wireless. The phone lacks only one LTE frequency band with all the named companies. Least compatible is Sprint.

Only phone I know that has the most bands out of the box regardless of model is are from Apple. The iPhone 6S Plus (A1687, Global) sold officially in the PH has 37 frequency bands I guess that's one reason why it is more expensive.

What I like about the US Nexus is that the wall charger is what almost all PH electrical wall outlets will accept.



By comparison this is the wall charger PH Nexus is getting.



This is not a problem in the house or office for me as our extension cords are universal.



But if you are traveling within the Philippines you either need to buy an adapter or bring with you a USB-C to USB-A cable so you can use the more common but slower to charge USB charger.

I am waiting for a multiport USB wall charger with USB-C ports at 5V 3A at 15W or higher power. All the ones I have seen online are 5V 2.4A at 12W.

I prefer multiport USB wall chargers with power cords so it is easy to plug into wall outlets that have tight spacing. Not to mention it would be easier to share one electrical outlet with 5 other people to charge their devices.



They even sell one with 24 USB ports. But it's only USB-A.

I agree with most of the above as I get my gadgets from the US 99% of the time. The only reason I got the N6P from here is because of the LTE B1 which is missing in the H1511 variant.

As for the iPhone, I've been using it since the first iPhone and the price has always been expensive. For all the reasons I can enumerate, I wouldn't want this to become an iPhone thread.

One more hirit about the iPhone 6S Plus vs Nexus 6P camera during New Years Eve.

Low light performance of the iPhone 6S Plus is about a stop or two less bright than the Nexus 6P.

Having said that the iPhone 6S Plus has optical image stabilization (OIS) of about one or two stops.

OIS works for video and stills. OIS for stills allows for longer exposure time while OIS for video makes it appear you are using a steady cam.

Sony, that provided the camera bin part for the Nexus 6P did not have a part with OIS.

So if you have a good mount for both phones and want to take video or stills during NYE fireworks then the Nexus 6P is a better camera to have.

I have been using iPhones since December 2007. Only got this Nexus 6P because of my very good experience with Android One phones sold by Cherry Mobile and MyPhone. Other than the great stock Android experience and getting Marshmallow ahead of Samsung, LG, Sony, Lenovo, etc I wanted a better camera.

Although I still got this year's iPhone as my contract's up for renewal. There's a fit, polish and attention to detail that is unique to Apple that is worth the premium. It is unheard of for any company to still give OS updates to phones that are more than 4 years old.

The iPhone 4S (October 2011) has the same iOS version as the latest phones from Apple. By comparison the Galaxy Nexus (November 2011) last official Android ROM was Jellybean. Jellybean was first released to manufacturers in June 2012.

For a lot of people having the latest OS is not a big deal but it really is as an University of Cambridge study finds 87% of Android devices are insecure. When security matters, only a Nexus will do - androidcentral.com. By extension Android One phones (baby Nexus) are more secure as they received Marshmallow 6.0.1 a week after the Nexus 6P and 5X did with a commitment to do so for 2 years since the phones we first announced.

USB-C cables sold in the Philippines are difficult to source and tend to cost 3x the listed price on Amazon. Always test C to A cables with the CheckR app to avoid electrical accidents. C to C cables are more difficult to screw up.

For emphasis, my classmate's wife died two years ago in Australia when she was listening to audio on her phone while she was charging it. She bought a cheapy USB-A cable and USB-A wall charger from a stall in a tiangge. It only take 0.1-0.2A of current to be lethal.

These are the USB-C accessories I got from Amazon. All cables have USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer (5Gbps) minimum. Nexus 6P is only USB 2.0 (0.48Gbps). Got the faster cables to future-proof.

• USB-C male to USB-A female cable, 0.2m
• USB-C male to USB-A male cable, 1.0m
• USB-C male to USB-C male cable, 1.0m
• USB-C male to USB 3.0 Micro-B male, 0.9m
• USB-C car charger (5V 3A at 15W up to 19.5W)

I expect Apple to come out with a USB-C to Lightning cable when they announce this year's iPad. All the cables out now from 3rd parties I suspect will be rendered invalid with iOS 10. There's a need for this cable as the iPad Pro takes more than 4 hours to charge using a 12W charger. If it were to use the 29W wall charger that comes with the 2015 Macbook it has the potential to reduce charging times below 2 hours.
