One month of using a blackberry Q10 which wasn't as bad as I remembered (lol) and the agonizing wait for the 6P to ship didn't make the time any less agonizing.
Quick hands on review: It feels premium, the aluminum looks great (though I wanted frost but couldn't wait on it) and it performs great. Feel wise, I can use it one handed with either hand without issue, something I struggled to do with the moto x pure and my previous not 3. I'm not sure if the thinness and weight are the contributing factors, but it's easier to hold than some smaller screened phones.
The phone is fast, so fast that pressing the recent apps button usually starts showing the recent apps before the current app is even minimized properly lol. I've never had the recent apps button be this responsive on any android device.
Front facing speakers sound good, but I'm not as blown away by them as I was with the moto x pure. The x pure sounded better but the 6P is louder.
The only gripe I have is with the screen. No, it's not the brightness. The brightness is fine even in sunlight. My issue is with the slight color variations when looking at the screen. The right side is slightly pink and the left side is slightly green. It's not bad but it is noticeable. I fixed the problem however by flashing a custom kernel elementalx which allows me to tweak the display colors and hue etc and I found a great sweets pot where I'm getting great whites and the color variations are all but non existent.
Build quality, superb. I can find no fault even if I was looking for one. All in all a great device and though it's been just one day, I can say that this is the best android phone I've ever used.
