Google Nexus 6P Review  - A year ago's Nexus 6 wasn't enormously effective. It was Google's first endeavor, with the assistance of Motorola, at a phablet-class gadget, and despite the fact that it had some brilliant qualities, it simply wasn't as amazing as the Nexus 5 from the earlier year. The gigantic 6-inch show made the handset a bit unwieldly and uncomfortable for the normal client, and both the camera and battery life weren't anything uncommon.



Regardless of the mistake, Google wasn't just going to abandon the thought of an incredible extensive screened telephone running stock Android. So for 2015's successor, the organization enrolled Huawei to construct another Nexus in a more sensible body, however with all the fundamental top of the line includes that permit it to rival the best telephones available today.

The outcome is the Nexus 6P, and it's one of the best Android cell phones you can buy today. It accompanies an expansive, wonderful 5.7-inch 1440p showcase, fueled by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC with 3 GB of RAM. The same camera from the Nexus 5X shows up in the Nexus 6P, complete with its extensive pixels and 12.3-megapixel determination, nearby a noteworthy front confronting camera. There's likewise a huge battery and another magnificent Nexus Imprint unique mark sensor to beat out an amazing rundown of determinations.



The Nexus 6P additionally accompanies the benefit of stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and the speediest overhauls of any Android gadget. Numerous custom skins aren't as disagreeable as they were in the beginning of Android, however there are evident favorable circumstances to getting a gadget running the cleanest, quickest and most secure rendition of Android you can get.

In the same way as other of Huawei's other top of the line gadgets, the Nexus 6P accompanies a wonderful metal unibody body, supplemented by intense Gorilla Glass on the front. The decision of brilliant materials gives the telephone an appealing, premium look that feels incredible in your grasp, which glaring difference a distinct difference to the plastic-body Nexus 5X from LG. It's additionally a genuinely novel outline, regardless of the fact that the front isn't anything extraordinary, which makes the Nexus 6P emerge from the group.

One thing that may influence individuals to the Nexus 5X over the Nexus 6P is the recent's size. With a 5.7-inch show on the front and bezels that aren't precisely minimal, the Nexus 6P is a huge gadget that takes some getting used to. The handset is sensibly ergonomic, however as the matte metal back board is to some degree dangerous, you'll have to keep a firm hold on the handset amid use. This can be somewhat precarious when the body is of this size, something that additionally influences one-gave operation much of the time.

On the other hand it just takes a week or so to get used to the measurements of the Nexus 6P, after which you'll come to appreciate the expansive screen and delightfully developed body. It's not as substantial or unwieldly as the Nexus 6, however, on account of a littler screen and a slimmer, lighter form. Diminishing the screen size to 5.7-inches was unquestionably the right decision, as it makes the Nexus 6P more suitable and usable for the dominant part of clients.

The front of the Nexus 6P is the minimum energizing a portion of the cell phone. There's a conventional measure of bezel above and underneath the presentation that makes the handset entirely tall, particularly considering there are no equipment route catches. In any case you do get double front-confronting speakers, which is extraordinary for devouring media and playing recreations on the extensive presentation. The nature of these speakers is normal for a cell phone, and din is adequate for most employments.

The back of the 6P is fundamentally developed from a solitary chunk of metal, yet there are two segments secured with an alternate material that permit the inside radio wires to relax. One of these segments is along the base, underneath the expansive Nexus logo and Huawei marking, while the other is at the top.

The top segment is the most disputable and fascinating part of the Nexus 6P's configuration. The dark glass strip, which is brought up in a slight mound and houses the camera get together, doesn't look especially extraordinary in photographs or in individual. Thankfully the knock isn't as discernible as I thought it would be, yet the dark bar simply sometimes falls short for whatever is left of the outline extremely well. I'd have rather seen the camera incorporated into the metal unibody frame, like the Nexus 5X.



While the knock isn't the most alluring part of the 6P's outline, the unique finger impression sensor on the back is in the perfect area for simple use. It's put practically precisely where my pointer falls while holding the gadget, permitting me to effectively open the handset utilizing the sensor. Much the same as with the Nexus 5X, this sensor is amazingly exact and extremely responsive; it's effectively the best usage of unique finger impression security I've seen on an Android gadget.

The sides of the Nexus 6P are a moderately straightforward undertaking. On the top is a 3.5mm earphone jack, and on the base is the reversible USB-C charging and information port. On the right side is the force and volume catches found sensibly near one another, despite the fact that I never got myself inadvertently hitting the wrong one, and the material input from every one of the three catches is good.

The main opening on the 6P is a solitary plate on the upper left side, which houses the nano-SIM. Tragically, there is no microSD card support in the Nexus 6P, however this isn't excessively amazing considering the last Nexus, making it impossible to bolster the component was the first Nexus One from 2010. Be that as it may, you can get the Nexus 6P in 32, 64 and 128 GB variations, so the absence of expandable stockpiling is less of an issue (however capacity overhauls, especially 128 GB, aren't too modest).

Display


The Nexus 6P accompanies a 5.7-inch AMOLED show with a determination of 2560 x 1440, bringing about a pixel thickness of 518 ppi. This is the same board sort and determination as the Nexus 6's showcase, despite the fact that it's marginally denser because of the size downsize from 6.0 inches. As the showcase utilizes AMOLED innovation, we're additionally taking a gander at a PenTile subpixel framework, despite the fact that it's not detectable because of the thickness of the presentation.



In what shouldn't be a shock, the 1440p Nexus 6P show conveys to a great degree sharp pictures and content. The contrast between this determination and a comparative 1080p board isn't critical, however a sharp eye will have the capacity to detect the update in textual style clarity specifically. Despite everything i'm not persuaded that the overhaul in determination and sharpness is justified regardless of the downsize in brilliance, execution and battery life, yet 1440p showcases have unquestionably been enhancing over the previous eighteen months, and the Nexus 6P's presentation is without a doubt fresh.

With respect to show quality, the 6P's AMOLED board is one of the best as far as exactness at its default settings, effectively beating the oversaturated Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5. However this shouldn't imply that outcomes are great: the Nexus 6P is still oversaturated by a tolerable sum, and it falls serenely behind the best LCD boards out there, including the iPhone 6s, Nexus 5X, and Moto X Style. A few individuals might incline toward the oversaturated look of the 6P's board, however in a perfect world we'd be seeing something more exact.

The uplifting news is that show temperature approaches the perfect 6500K imprint, which means we're not getting a run of the mill AMOLED blue tint. Differentiation is additionally brilliant, because of the way of AMOLED boards, as are review points and dark levels.

Sadly the 6P doesn't set up a decent battle with regards to show shine. The AMOLED board, while showing a full white picture, falls well behind the opposition, which can make it hard to view content in splendid daylight. The uplifting news is that the way AMOLED boards work implies that splendor by and large will be higher than what's accounted for here, however don't anticipate that it will depose the Nexus 5X or different cell phones with all the more effective LCDs.

I additionally found that the programmed brilliance highlight on the Nexus 6P wasn't especially successful, and I regularly overrode whatever it set physically. The most well-known issue I confronted was that the showcase was much too splendid when review under simulated lights during the evening, so obviously some tweaking is required here.

Interestingly, the Nexus 6P accompanies a concealed "sRGB" show mode that can be exchanged on in the designer settings. Google asserts this mode is better aligned to sRGB models, which is genuine, yet it's not what I'd depict as 'sRGB exact'. This mode really undersaturates the presentation by a nice edge, which makes pictures look really dull, and despite the fact that exactness is closer to Nexus 5X/iPhone 6s levels, I wouldn't prescribe exchanging the mode on for normal use.

Hardware Overview and CPU Performance 


The Nexus 6P comes stacked with a Snapdragon 810, which is Qualcomm's most elevated end and really dubious SoC. Interestingly, this is the first cell phone I've investigated that has the Snapdragon 810 combined with a 1440p presentation, with essentially every other gadget (like the HTC One M9 and Sony Xperia Z5) deciding on a 1080p showcase. The 810 and its effective GPU is made for 1440p cell phones, so it's great to see the SoC at long last get the showcase blending it merits.



I've taken a gander at the Snapdragon 810 broadly previously, however as a fast refresher, the SoC in the Nexus 6P accompanies four ARM Cortex-A57 CPU centers timed at 1.96 GHz, in addition to four Cortex-A53 centers at 1.56 GHz, for a sum of eight centers in two groups. There's additionally a LPDDR4 memory controller appended to 3 GB of RAM, giving 25.6 GB/s of transmission capacity, and an Adreno 430 GPU timed at 650 MHz.

Network insightful, the Snapdragon 810 accompanies all the most recent and most prominent stuff, including Wi-Fi 820.11 a/b/g/n/air conditioning, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS+GLONASS, and up to Category 9 LTE. The Nexus 6P comes in a few models relying upon your area, so it's generally a smart thought to check with your bearer to guarantee you're acquiring the right model. Outer to the Snapdragon 810 is a NFC chip.

The Nexus 6P is furnished with 32, 64 or 128 GB of inward NAND relying upon what model you buy. There is no expandable stockpiling, however, so it's a smart thought to get an extensive limit model in the event that you need to store a ton of applications, photographs, recordings or music. I got the 32 GB model to audit, which had 25 GB accessible to utilize, and I found that fine for the applications and other substance I needed to store on the gadget.

Execution from the Nexus 6P around the working framework and in applications is really great, and it feels marginally more responsive than the Nexus 5X. I wouldn't say the handset is as quick to use as the iPhone 6s, particularly in application stacking, however the 6P is surely a force client's gadget with the capacity to multitask easily. As this is stock Android on an intense gadget, I didn't see any slack or stammer either, which is not out of the ordinary.

In our CPU-constrained benchmarks, the execution of the Nexus 6P is comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S6, and marginally slower than the best Snapdragon 810 gadget we've checked on beforehand, the Sony Xperia Z5. The 6P additionally times in at around 9% quicker than the Nexus 5X and its Snapdragon 808 SoC.

Software & Camera 


There are two viewpoints to the Nexus 6P that are basically indistinguishable to what was seen on the Nexus 5x, so I'm not going to cover them in point of interest. Rather, on the off chance that you need to peruse more about the product and camera of the 6P, I'd recommend making a beeline for the significant areas of our Nexus 5X survey.

Obviously, the Nexus 6P comes stacked with Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" out of the case, carrying with it the stock Android experience. With no maker skins connected, the product is spotless, outwardly engaging and responsive, and it fits in flawlessly with Android's configuration rules. Joined with a determination of practical stock applications, this is effortlessly the most ideal approach to experience Android.



Being a Nexus gadget, the 6P additionally has the benefit of getting new forms of Android well before different gadgets. At the point when the following significant adaptation of Android dispatches in 2016, it will go to the Nexus 6P and other Google-marked gadgets to start with, regularly a while in front of contenders. Security patches will likewise be conveyed first to Nexus gadgets, keeping the 6P as secure as could be expected under the circumstances in a world with more Android endeavors found each month.

Essentially, on the off chance that you need the best Android programming knowledge now and later on, you ought to be getting a Google gadget like the Nexus 6P.

The back camera cluster in the Nexus 6P is indistinguishable to what we found in the Nexus 5X. This implies we're getting a 12.3-megapixel Sony Exmor IMX377 CMOS sensor, which is 1/2.3" in size and accompanies 1.55 µm pixels. It's matched with a f/2.0 lens, a double LED streak, and infrared laser-helped self-adjust. The camera catches pictures at a 4:3 viewpoint proportion with a determination of 4032 x 3024 locally.



The front camera is a redesign on the Nexus 5X, as the 6P highlights a 8-megapixel sensor with a f/2.4 lens. The Nexus 6P is likewise equipped for burst photography and moderate movement video at 240 edges for every second, both of which the Nexus 5X is not prepared to do. Like the 5X, however, is an absence of optical picture adjustment, which doesn't have a huge effect for still symbolism, yet isn't incredible while recording 4K video.

The nature of the Nexus 6P's camera is generally in the same class as the Nexus 5X. Considering the Nexus 5X conveyed amazing photographs in about all lighting conditions, the Nexus 6P accompanies an awesome camera that ought to suit all purchasers. It doesn't exactly have the same level of value as the OIS-prepared Samsung Galaxy S6, however I was still greatly inspired by how great the 6P's camera could be.



The Nexus 6P's camera likewise accompanies a large number of the 5X's drawbacks, the greater part of which identify with the camera programming. The application doesn't rush to catch a picture, and the HDR+ mode, while great in the quality it conveys, sets aside quite a while to process pictures. There's additionally no manual mode or truly whatever other controls inside of the application, which is a disgrace considering the equipment this telephone is furnished with.

One of the Best Smartphones of the Year 


Having now utilized the Nexus 6P for a long while, it's effortlessly get to be one of my most loved Android gadgets, and one of the best cell phones you can purchase today.



The measure of the Nexus 6P doesn't fit everybody, except in case you're subsequent to something with an extensive, wonderful AMOLED show, this telephone is an extraordinary decision. The handset is developed from premium materials on the front and back, with the metal shell specifically conveying a superb look and feel. The slight camera bump adds a touch of enthusiasm to the back board, and despite the fact that it isn't the most alluring component of the outline, Huawei has compensated for it through whatever remains of the smooth outside.

Like the Nexus 5X, the 6P comes outfitted with a to a great degree quick and precise unique mark sensor on the back board. Despite the fact that the 6P is a substantial gadget, the sensor is set in the ideal area for consistent use, and its pace makes it the most effortless approach to secure your gadget. The 6P likewise accompanies a reversible USB-C port, keeping in mind there's no microSD card opening, capacity choices up to 128 GB give a lot of inward space.

The 5.7-inch 1440p AMOLED board on the front of the Nexus 6P is extremely appealing, and accompanies better alignment out-of-the-crate than numerous other AMOLED gadgets, including Samsung's Galaxy line. It's not impeccable, and the sRGB mode doesn't make an incredible showing of enhancing things, however the slight oversaturation you get from this showcase is all around adjusted by awesome shading temperature, differentiate, and seeing points. In the event that there was any real thump on this presentation, it would be brilliance, with the board falling beneath normal in such manner.



Execution from the Snapdragon 810 SoC inside the Nexus 6P, combined with the previously stated 1440p presentation, is by and large really great. The gadget is somewhat speedier to use all through applications and the OS than the Nexus 5X; a distinction that is discernible every now and then. Throttling is an issue, which is nothing unexpected for a Snapdragon 810 handset, however not to the degree where it ought to have a noteworthy effect through general application use or in moderate-execution recreations.

The one part of the execution that needs tending to is NAND, where compulsory encryption causes read and compose speed diminishes contrasted with its adversaries. This influences application stacking and multi-tasking, and the distinction is unquestionably perceptible when put against the rankling iPhone 6s. I like the thought of NAND encryption, and I comprehend why Google has actualized it, yet the execution hit at this stage in cell phone equipment isn't extraordinary.

Another positive note, the Nexus 6P's camera is astounding, and ought to serve clients well throughout the following couple of years. The mix of expansive pixels with a wide lens loans itself well to photography in many conditions, even without OIS assisting. The camera's HDR+ mode is great, and highlights like 4K video, 240fps moderate movement, and a decent selfie camera enhance the bundle. Shockingly, the camera application itself isn't fabulous, and an absence of a manual mode is frustrating: this is unquestionably something Google ought to take a gander at enhancing through a product overhaul.

Talking about programming, the Nexus 6P effortlessly thumps its rivals through to-date programming, quick upgrades, and a stock appearance. Android 6.0 is liquid to utilize and its outline is more appealing than OEM skins, in addition to the most recent yield of elements, for example, Now on Tap and the new authorization framework enhance the OS with respect to past renditions. Basically, on the off chance that you need the best Android experience, get a Nexus gadget.

The Nexus 6P's battery life isn't especially exceptional, falling amidst our execution graphs. The vast screen joined with a force hungry SoC appears to have nullified the greater part of the increases from the bigger than-normal battery, however I don't think battery life ought to be an issue for most clients.

The Nexus 6P is a premium handset, it will cost you in any event $100 more than the Nexus 5X, however its mix of value and esteem makes it simple to suggest. The passage level 32 GB model will set you back just $499, which is at present $130 not exactly the comparative Samsung Galaxy Note 5, and over $300 less expensive than the iPhone 6s Plus. The Moto X Style, another late 5.7-inch handset running stock Android, is $50 less expensive than the Nexus 6P, yet I would prescribe spending the additional money to show signs of improvement gadget.



So in case you're after an Android gadget with all the most recent equipment, an incredible camera, a vast presentation, stock Android with quick redesigns, and an excellent configuration, you shouldn't look much more distant than the Nexus 6P. It's one of the best cell phones of the year.
