Notably, the Nexus 5X is not the first smartphone that has this defect. Hopefully you got Nexus Protect. While the Nexus 6P does have TWRP available, it doesn’t have the ability to decrypt your data just yet. The rear camera protrudes distinctly on the Nexus 5X as compared to the previous version.

It’s worth mentioning the two Nexus devices were made by different manufacturers, and the 5X is definitely the mid-tier option. The Nexus 6P has a larger screen, a more premium build, a better camera, and more powerful internals. Now this is obviously to keep your data safe.
The repairability issue aside, Google has been successful in its collaboration with Huawei in manufacturing the Nexus 6P flagship phablet lauded for its excellent features. Even from the moment you boot up the device.
While you now can’t reverse the encryption, developers are working on it and do have it on their roadmap. Which is great because Nexus devices have historically had the most custom ROMs available, and I’d expect the same for the Nexus 6P. When it comes to repairability, the Nexus 6P is one of the worst phones ever, getting a score of just 2 out of 10 from iFixit… It seems that the Nexus 6P has nothing to do with the yellow tint issue so LG might be to blame for this since they’re the manufacturers responsible for putting together the Nexus 5X.

A few early Nexus 6P buyers had been informed that their handsets had begun shipping last week, though other customers are now receiving notifications from Google stating that it does not have sufficient stocks to make shipments to all customers who had pre-ordered the device from Google Store in the US.
