Nexus 6P Users complaint of cracking of Rear Camera Glass

Developer statistics released by Google revealed that only 0.3 percent of Android devices are now using the Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Now, we are hearing more talk of Google looking to build its own smartphone from scratch. “Reportedly, users facing the problem with their Nexus 6P may have to knock on the doors of Huawei, since it appears to be a hardware issue”. Google’s new strategy surfaces more than a year after the company sold Motorola to Lenovo for $2.91 billion (£1.91bn), while retaining the majority of Motorola’s patent to use it for its Android ecosystem.

However, these users have nothing to worry about as the spontaneous cracking of the Nexus 6P’s glass panel is covered by the company’s defect on phone design and must be covered by the standard hardware warranty.

If this issue keeps escalating, Huawei and Google might find themselves in a tough situation, as there are many other hardware issues that need equal attention.

Google will have to be careful not to damage relationships it has with other Android phone makers like Samsung and HTC if it creates its own phone.

Those who keep a close eye on Google’s Android work might be excused a slight eye roll here.

Google has recently released the Nexus 6P along with its sibling, the Nexus 5X.

The Chromebook Pixel and the Pixel C Android tablet have set a precedent for this. At the same time, we could see a smartphone and tablet from Google much sooner, in May at Google I/O 2016 to take on the Galaxy S7 or LG G4. The update weighs 450MB so a stable Wi-Fi connection is needed to download it. As with any software installation, users have to make sure that the handset is juiced up to at least 50 percent so that the process goes smooth.

For what it’s worth, the Nexus 6P is Google’s first smartphone developed by a Chinese OEM. Nonetheless, it shouldn’t take long for the new Android OS to arrive.

Google have yet to comment on the issue but are dealing with those who are experiencing the issue. Google has travelled so far down the road of being open and free and easy that convincing partners like Qualcomm to make just one kind of chip for its phones is going to be hard.
