    I could literally rant on and on about how great this phone is but I'm not that patient but I'll give you the basics . It's huge, bigger than iphone 6 plus. It's loud, it has two speakers on the front. It charges fast, it uses the new usb type-c charger, you can go from 0 to 100% charge in two hours or less. It has a great camera. I have taken some beautiful pictures with the phone, and I was really impressed by the ones taken in the dark. Its fast and very responsive. It has almost all the features of the newest samsung galaxy and iphone but at a much better price point. I bought this one for $400 refurbished, but it was in mint condition. I would have never guessed that it had been used before by looking at it or by using it.

    Switched from iPhone to try the project fi network. I love being able to use my phone abroad with no extra fees. I used iPhones from 2010-2017 and I'm not the most tech savvy person. It took me a while to get things set up on this phone, and some things I just gave up on. The battery life is terrible compared to even my 3 year old iPhone. Even immediately after purchase I couldn't get through an entire day without charging. That's probably my biggest complaint. Also freezes more and runs more slowly than I would expect. Probably going to be moving on from this thing soon.

    Great hardware but not up to iOS standards

    This is an amazing piece of hardware, but the Android operating system, even directly from Google, is still below Apple's standard. In my opinion, this is down to the play store and developing apps that will work across many devices. In the end the phone froze on several occasions where it shouldn't have done so. Even performing simple multitasking will make the phone choke. I returned mine and went back to iOS.

    Really loved the phone, was heartbroken to realize the refurb I purchased was defective in that the charging port would give false reads and take a very, very long time when fast charging. Bummer. NIB, this phone is a monster.

    I haven't been able to activate the phone yet hence the 4 stars. I'm assuming it's a sprint thing & unlocked phones..other than that the phone came quick & looks just like a brand new one. Downloads nougat as soon as I turned it on.

      We're sorry to hear about activation issues, you'll definitely want to speak with sprint in regards to those types of problems. Thanks for the 4 stars! We're proud of the Nexus 6P as it is one of our most versatile devices. It houses both CDMA, and GSM technology, It's got a beautiful screen, and a great battery life; we are certain you will continue to find this device a great deal! [sv] HuaweiCustomerCare

    This is, in my opinion, the best Android phone available today. I'd give it five stars, if it worked. Unfortunately, the earlier stock (which, I'm guessing, created this stock of refurbs) had a flaw with the noise canceling microphone which causes listeners at the other end to hear your voice dropping in and out- you can find this easily on Google. If you get one without the flaw, it's a fantastic deal. I had to return mine, now I purchased another to try again. Until I know it's corrected, I can't recommend it.

    I was on the fence for a while, but finally switched to the Nexus 6P. This one was a refurbished product, I was afraid a bit it can be defective. Everything went smoothly, comes in a brown box with USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C cables. The phone is a solid performer.

    Great phone not so great from BB

    So basically the phone is great, does everything I need it to and I love everything about it. The experience buying a refurbished phone from Best Buy was not good. I get it the phone was used and they basically fix the problem and sell it like new again. This time I guess they didn't fix anything and just repackaged a used phone. So the first day I noticed a BURNT PIXEL on the screen and it wasn't noticable at first when the brightness was high but as soon as the phone dimmed it just pops out at you and all you can do is stare at it. The thing is that I really enjoy the phone so much that its become less noticeable for me now and just will deal with it cause I got it at a good price with 12mo 0 interest on BB card. So whatever.. I've seen really beat up ones on eBay going for more. So I'll just have to take it! So buyer beware when buying refurbished from BB!

    Wow I am very impressed with this Nexus phone. First of all it works on Verizon which is a huge plus since only a couple of Nexus phones have been compatible with Verizon or even sprint for that matter. For being a refurbished product I couldn't tell. The device appeared brand new when I got it, no scratches anywhere including the screen. So thrilled to get a great deal on this powerful and fast phone

    The Huawei Nexus 6P is one of the best phones I have owned for quite some time. The build quality is superb and the front facing speaking offers a great experience for listening to music or watching videos. Its is extremely fast and keeps up with the heaviest of tasks. Screen is Amoled and is very bright and easy to see in direct sunlight. It is a very large device which is not an issue for me as I have pretty big hands, but I can see it being an issue for some. All in all this is a great phone offering the pure android experience.

      Hello Pimpmaneaton, Thank you for purchasing the Huawei Nexus 6P! Sporting a 5.7-inch, high-resolution WQHD AMOLED display and front-facing stereo speakers — all housed in a contoured aluminum body; the Nexus 6P is perfect for listening to music, playing games, or watching videos. With the octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor under the hood, performance on the new Nexus is faster than ever, yet gentler on battery life. The display is a AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors, but where it really shines is in conditions with less than ideal lighting. We're happy to hear your new phone is offering a pure android experience for you! Thanks for the great feedback. (NS) HuaweiCustomerCare

    Loved the phone, but problem with speaker. The phone looks good. It is fast, fits well in my hand. My phone updates are fast .. My real issue was the speaker when making and receiving calls. The calls were echoing and noisy. We determined there was a problem with the phone. I returned it and purchased another. Now I am in love with my replacement phone.

      We see that you've purchased a replacement Nexus 6P in place of your original Nexus 6P which had audio problems. We are truly sorry to hear that you've encountered difficulties with the speakers and we would like to give you a list of steps you can take to resolve audio issues with your Nexus 6P if you experience any in the future: Ensure that you are in an area with good network reception when making a call.
       In addition, avoid making calls in noisy environments.
       If you are using hand-held mode, try adjusting the position of the phone in your hand.
       In hand-held mode, the audio source should be no more than 10 cm away from the microphone.
       Aligning the receiver with your ear can help to increase the call volume.
       You can turn up the call volume during a call using the volume up button.
       Do not cover the microphone (normally on the bottom of the phone) with your fingers or other objects.
      We thank you for shopping Huawei. (SP) HuaweiCustomerCare

    This was a great purchase. I knew that this was the exact phone I wanted because of the screen size and long battery life, but I was looking for a good deal on it. When I saw best buy had a refurbished option with good reviews I bought it immediately. Everything about this phone has been great so far after about 6 months.

    Just as expected -- one catch

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It arrived, flawless. Just as new... I originally bought the 128gb version new, and was fine with it. The 128 seemed to be overkill, but I like to future-proof things like my phone... All was right in the world until I saw this 64gb refurbished version popped up at $399.99 within my 45 day return policy (Elite Plus). Naturally, I decided to save myself $200 and snap up a re-manufactured version -- figuring 64gb would be enough. It was. It is... The only bummer through all of this is that BBY will NOT allow you to buy their Geek Squad Protection Plans with refurb things. This was news to me, and came as a bit of a bummer. The store person cited the reason why as being "It's refurbished. We don't know if OEM parts are in there." Seriously?!? You re-manufactured it, and sold it online (not marketplace)... So... fine. Weird, but fine... I wasn't going to argue with the girl with a limp at the counter... All-in-all, the purchase was good. I have plenty of phone, and I saved myself $300 ($200 on the phone, and $100 on the GSPP). I'l take it.
