Huawei may have a problem in their hands as their Nexus 6P users are experiencing bootloop issues. The problem surfaces when the users attempt to upgrade to the latest Android 7.0 Nougat version from Google.
It is no secret that Android smartphones often have bootloop problems whenever upgrading or messing with the root system. Huawei's Nexus 6P was one of the outstanding smartphones in 2015 but that seems to have quickly faded now that there are several issues that have surfaced.
Users who tried to upgrade to the latest Android 7.0 Nougat version found their phones bootlooping. Even those who are just on the Nougat Developer Preview had some problems with their devices.
Huawei Nexus 6P users have tried reflashing ROM images and even wiping the whole phone but there is no current solution available for the bootloop issue, NDTV reported. Some users were able to return their phones in exchange for refurbished devices which is not ideal for those who already spent several hundred dollars on the device itself.
In November, there were also users reporting battery problems with their Nexus 6P devices. It has not yet been resolved and now the bootloop issues are rising in numbers. With no solution in sight, it seems to be the end of the Nexus line considering that Google already released their new Pixel smartphones.
Google said in a statement obtained by Digital Trends that they are currently investigating the issue but the current solution is a hardware repair or replacement by an authorized service center. It could be a problem for some users who already forgot where they placed the receipt.
Users who own a Nexus 6P should avoid updating for now if they do not want to get their devices replaced. Google's commitment to their Pixel line could mean that the support for the previous phones will be minimal.
