Battery on my 1+1 was getting a little worn out since I use it so much, went ahead and ordered a 1+3. Because cheap. Also I guess the reviews on it are great as well.
Although I'm finding that the reviews online are 80% about camera quality, which I really don't care about. Cameras were as good as I needed years ago.

Android Nougat is rumored to have a release date of August 5th. I've been using the beta on my nexus phone for months now and its pretty slick. Battery life is pretty good on it. My only complaint is with hangouts and Google's decision to unmerge sms and hangout conversations.

I bought some of those adapters for my old micro USB chargers at first but they suck because those chargers don't put out as much current as a full powered type c charger so they don't charge as fast. Just bite the bullet and get new chargers IMO. Type C is definitely going to be the future unless you're an apple fag.

I'm thinking of getting a 1+3 as well, should have similar specs to the upcoming Nexus phones. But I'm worried about the pentile screen, so please post if it's easy to notice and detrimental. I never really got used to looking at my Galaxy Nexus.
What google is doing to Hangouts makes no sense. Unless, they're trying to kill SMS? idk

Is there anything useful to do with old phones?
I currently have a Note 3, Samsung S4, S3, two S2s, and LG G2, and some old HTC Evos (all Sprint) just sitting in a desk drawer in my home. Everytime I upgrade our phones (family plan with my wife & my parents on it) I never know what to do with the old phones.

I agree about hangouts. I use it all day as my primary means of communicating with 99% of my contacts. I wish their video chat was better. It's the only gripe I have. Also, I highly recommend Pushbullet. Nice chrome plugin and app on your phone that lets you manage sms and notifications (among other things) from your computer. Being able to respond to texts all day while in the office without having to touch my phone turns out to be really convenient.
chorboy
longer battery life (eg: turbo 1, turbo 2)
quickcharge support (0-100% in under an hour? Yes please)
expandable storage
NFC (for more than just apple pay lol)
more memory
industry standard, non-proprietary charging port
itunes lol
I can go on (but we really don't need to swing our dicks around here, I can agree to disagree!)
I'll also say, from experience managing over 1000 android phones for field crews that android perform better, and are significantly easier to manage in the workforce via MDM and enterprise integration. We have about 400 ipads in production and they are complete shit to work with, manage and maintain compared to our android devices.
I get the appeal to iPhones, everyone I know has or has had one, myself included. I prefer the design, freedom and performance of android to iPhone.

If you aren't looking to use them yourself for any reason, Donate Cell Phones | Recycle Cell Phones - Cell Phones For Soldiers is what I do with my old phones.

Yeah, I just got home from the desert and activated my project fi. I'm really happy with the service and bill, also the customer service is pretty great.
Anyone know if there are the must have apps for the Nexus 6P?

/fastboot oem unlock, load custom recovery, flash root.
Nexus phones are so easy to root, just be prepped for it to be wiped in the process.
Might want to head on over to the new forums linked in my sig. Most of us are over there now so you'll find more answers there.
