I'd assume that was the case yet Google had input on the 6P's design that had far larger capacities in the end. I was well in for that Nexus 9 until the storage was so heavily gimped.
I look forward to seeing what they pull out though as I've always maintained that the HTC One was one of their best products years ago and I'm hoping they can repeat that sort of design.

Agreed. I upgraded from the One M8 to the Nexus 6P after seeing the leaked design for the M10 - there's no way I'm carrying around a device that could be confused for an iPhone!
HTC's design team do seem to have lost the plot but Google bringing them into the fold for the forthcoming nexus device(s) can only be a good thing.
Hopefully means HTC don't go out of business and with Googles design influence (pixel c looks great imo) we should get a good device so long as HTC dont try and do somthing "unusual" with the camera!

I agree with you and HTC need to turn their fortunes around and this if it turns out to be true may help reverse HTCs fortunes. They do have a habit of making strange decisions such as gimping the camera, battery, storage. Let's hope they actually make a decent device. We should know something in the next few months as HTC have two Nexus devices for this year. One 5" and the other a 5.5" device.
I think that was earlier with Googles heavy pushing of the cloud. The way storage options are coming back (helped by competition I think) may mean its over enough to offer us size options if not a slot.
Faithful owner of the desire and M7 until the 6p came out so I agree in principle

Same here. Been burned too many times with HTC products and the poor after care.
Buy from Google or amazon so you don't have to deal with htc.

That doesn't protect you from the poor build quality though. I had the HTC One X and HTC One m7 with a total of 9 issues in 4 years.
Personally, if the after sales is sound it wouldn't bother me.

HTC have terrible QC. I didn't have an M8 (out of four) that didn't arrive damaged somehow.
Hey guys, I'm planning on buying this phone today from Google. Can any of you recommend a tempered glass screen protector that doesn't cover up the proximity sensor? and maybe a usb to c cable (they're out of stock at google -.-)
Search "Minotaur Google Nexus 6P (2015) Tempered Glass Screen Protector " on rainforest.
Not sure about cable
What type of fit is this protector? Edge to edge? does it fit well with a case? (I'm thinking about getting the rugged amor case). How long have you had it? Have you noticed any lifting since its first install?

Thanks for the info.
I've recently decided to get a 6P and was hanging on to be sure that I really wanted to. 
Saving £35 is what I must have been waiting for. 
I ordered at 20 minutes past midnight last night. I got a despatch notification at 10:45 this morning. How dare Google take so long to fulfil my order! And on a Sunday!!
It's a very close fit - less then .5mm around the edges. Had it about 2 months. No bubbles though I bought 3 as the first one I screwed up the install. I use it with a Tudia Case and its perfect fit. The spigen screen protector for the 6p is terrible - huge gap around the edge and lifts up at the bottom. This one is a far closer fit.
Dropped mine without a case a few weeks back, gutted! Couple of lovely dints in the aluminium but very luckily, no damage to the glass! A small part of the pastic seal has just dropped out so it's time for a case!
What are people using? The Nexus 6P case on google looks very nice but it's £25! What do people think of the Spigen case for £9?
