I'd find it hard to recommend a new LG to anyone presently. The wife got a brand new G3 last February and LG's software is absolutely shocking to be brutally honest. It runs so slow that even she has complained about it from day 1.
Samsung have (perhaps deservedly) gotten flack for poor software and bloatware for years now, but I suspect LG may have outdone them in recent times when it comes to crap software.

6P isn't made by LG, 6P also is stock android, even if it was made by LG, LG don't add any software to it.Samsung have (perhaps deservedly) gotten flack for poor software and bloatware for years now, but I suspect LG may have outdone them in recent times when it comes to crap software.
I'm definitely interested but need a few things to jiggle into place; I get a F&F discount on EE which makes buying a 'network' handset a no-brainer (40% off the whole contract including handset) so I get my phones from them direct. It's good that they're offering the N6P now although I'm waiting to see whether they also get the 64Gb and 128Gb versions in - without an SD card slot 32Gb is a little on the small side for me (I have a 16Gb HTC One M8 with a 64Gb card in it currently).
I'm also waiting to see whether EE meddle with it re. updates, bloatware etc. I'm hoping very much not, as the entire essence of Nexus phones is that the updates come direct from Google and are 'crap-free'. I'd hope the worst EE will do is SIM-lock it, however no-one seems to be able to answer those questions.
I'm going to sit tight and wait until EE customers get their phones and report back on how much or how little EE have been allowed to fiddle.
If they're unmolested I'll probably get a 128Gb in grey.

I don't get the point in that video.if I took a stanley knife to any phone it would scratch, similarly, the bend test.

It's the scratching the screen cracking that is of concern, rather than someone forcefully bending it. That part of the test looks legitimate to me...?
That's more down to Corning than Huawei though.Gorilla Glass seems to be rated to 7 on the MOHS scale and is designed to resist impact/shattering more than scratching I think?

Thanks for the insight. I was hoping the bloatware was lighter than previous efforts. I had a G Pad 8.3 tablet from LG and that was laggy on start up, but leave it a few minutes and it would be fine afterwards. Maybe rooting the LGs is a better option?Samsung have (perhaps deservedly) gotten flack for poor software and bloatware for years now, but I suspect LG may have outdone them in recent times when it comes to crap software.
I really wouldn't mind a 6P but price seems to be what's stopping me constantly.

I've been eyeballing this one and I really like the vanilla Android experience... But I'm struggling to pick one over the much cheaper Moto X Style...
Can anyone elaborate?

6p has better battery, screen, camera, hardware, purer Android by a touch. Got to be worth the £100 extra.
Thx,The screen is debatable though, IPS and Amoled both have their merits.
I've seen no direct camera comparison either.
The 808 is more energy efficient and the 810 has had a shedload of problems.
On top of that, the Moto X has SD card storage which means I'd be fine with the 32GB while I'd need to get the 64GB Huawei :/
It's hard with so much choice!
I think I'm going to order the X when I go the states, so I can at least use the Moto Maker.
