Nexus smartphones from Google have been beating other handsets designed by third-parties for years now because of their unfettered stock Android, and Nexus 6P is another killer phone. Google Nexus 6P gets the gorgeous Android hardware to match the luster of the device's powerful software.
Nexus 6P, a 5.7-inch Android smartphone for everyone, is designed by Google in partnership with the Chinese Manufacturer, Huawei. Huawei is currently the number one smartphone maker in China.
Nexus 6P is a metal-glass combo that sports a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor. The phone also has a 12.3MP main camera and a QHD OLED 2560 × 1440 display. According to Gizmodo, as opposed to its cheaper sibling, the Nexus 5X, this is an iteration meant to run side by side with all the high-end smartphones. The 6P has a price tag of $500 with 32GB onboard storage capacity.
Of critical significance is the fact that bigger is not always better. The 2014 huge Nexus 6 was a great phone, but critics seem to have been right about its size. The current Nexus 6P has a smaller display of 5.7 inches against 5.96 inches for Nexus 6.
Similarly, the 6P is thinner (8.3 against 10.1mm), narrower (78 vs. 83 mm), and lighter (178 against 184 grams) than the Nexus 6. While the important changes are narrowness and thinness, the 6P retains the resolution power, implying that users will receive a denser layout.
As opposed to the Nexus 6 that was backed with a plastic in an aluminum frame, the current Huawei Nexus 6P is completely aluminum. The general design is great, with clean lines that serve to give a smaller feel than the smartphone actually is.
In a different report from the same publication, the Nexus 6 comes with the USB Type-C charging port, which is advantageous when it comes to super-fast charging and blazing data transfer. However, it has the initial disadvantage that the user's local bar possibly will not have one behind the bar.
On the contrary, the Nexus 6P is a mighty chariot for Android. The smartphone has no lag. All a user has to do is tap an icon and an app launches, swipe the home screen and the next page emerges instantly.
