Fucking lmao, I remember people saying that a decade ago when I had my Nexus 6P.

The 6P was such a great phone, and perhaps the following Nexus 7 was the peak of Google phones. Those were the days.

Nexus 6P was the very last Nexus device. The OG Pixel came out the following year, in 2016. I happen to have both devices, they are currently sitting on my desk, both loaded with Lineage OS. My 6P somehow managed to retain functionality of it's entire SD810. Still gets toasty and throttles down though, and has been through a couple batteries now.

The Nexus 7 was a tablet from 2012. Damn fine tablet.

Ah, I only ever had the seven because I didn’t have a smart phone those days, and I assumed they released a phone with that number as well.

Oddly enough, the 6P is technically the 7th gen Nexus, since it came after 2014's Nexus 6... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
