The Nexus 6P was launched by Google two years ago to much fanfare, with the VP of Engineering, Hiroshi Lockheimer, explaining that the 'P' stood for premium, and that the device was designed as a premium smartphone.
Subsequently, it appears the device has not aged gracefully as various reports have popped up online regarding numerous issues ranging from device boot loops that received an unofficial fix, to battery problems, both of which resulted in a class-action lawsuit against Google.
There have since been various reports of owners sending in their faulty devices for repair or warranty replacements and receiving Pixel XL devices instead. The report by Android Police notes that while owners in US and Canada have a higher likelihood of their devices being replaced with Pixel smartphones, some in the UK still receive refurbished Nexus 6P devices and it seems that everyone in Australia is receiving a 6P as a warranty replacement.
