Google Nexus 6P users complain of problem with on-board microphone

However, the Nexus 5X does not have an impressive specs sheet compared to the Nexus 6P smartphone.

While the release wasn’t almost as bad as the Nexus 4 or Nexus 5, which sold out in less than an hour, the Nexus 6P release didn’t go very smooth either. The omission of optical stabilisation for the camera and wireless charging (both present in the old Nexus 5) also make it seem like an incremental update.

While Google says it is looking into the issue, some users have found a rudimentary solution – covering the rear-mounted microphone.

Interestingly customers are additionally reporting voice-name high quality points with the extra premium Nexus 6P within the US. “I may reach out to a few of you for bug reports as well”, Orrin, an employee from Google replied. At times the ring tone of the phone doesn’t work after the user switches from Silent Mode to Ringing Mode until it’s restarted. This is due to third party app developers using old API of the camera and the problem can only be solved by fixing the app’s code.

The users complained of a low quality, muffled, and in-call sound in their phones. Some users are saying the reduced touchscreen responsiveness is most noticeable while typing fast on the keyboard while the handset is on charge, even with the original charger.

Flip it around you’ll see one of the best displays you can find on any 2015 smartphone. This year, Google has announced two new smartphones – the LG Nexus 5x and the Huawei P6. If it does, then Nexus 6P users can contact the Nexus support team for further help. LG has added a fine, soft plastic rear to the Nexus 5x, which has a rubbery feel to it. My review unit in white didn’t impress me in the looks department.

The unlocked Nexus 5X smartphone is now available for purchase from Amazon, ending Google Store’s dominance as the only source for buying the handset. The device was launched in India last month and earlier this month it was delivered to pre-registered users.

We can only hope that Google will provide fixes for the bugs both on Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X.
