Google Nexus 6P (Unlocked)

The opened Nexus 6P ($499, 32GB) isn't impeccable, however it's the nearest Google has come to satisfying the list of things to get of Android clients who need a genuine leader level Nexus cell phone. The 6P addresses each real issue proprietors of the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 have had about their gadgets. A dependable camera with enhanced low-light execution? Check. Long battery life? Check. Appealing, aluminum assemble? Check. On top of these redesigns, you additionally get a unique mark scanner, a USB-C port with fast charging, double front-confronting speakers, and a fresh 5.7-inch AMOLED show. That signifies our new Editors' Choice for opened cell phones. 

Outline and Features 

The Nexus 6P is effectively the best-fabricated gadget Google has discharged in its Nexus line. Made by Huawei, the 6P sports an extremely alluring aluminum construct. It quantifies 6.27 by 3.06 by 0.29 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.28 ounces, putting it generally keeping pace with Apple's iPhone 6s Plus, which measures 6.23 by 3.07 by 0.29 creeps and weighs 6.77 ounces. 


As a result of the 6P's double front-confronting speakers, the top and base bezel are taller than what you may be utilized to, particularly on the off chance that you haven't utilized a phablet some time recently. In any case, in case you're moving from a 5.5-inch gadget, you likely won't reconsider. The general profile of the 6P is level and thin, while the sides are to some degree square. It's not as simple to hold as the Moto X Pure Edition, with its bended back and adjusted edges. Holding the 6P for 60 minutes while remaining on open transportation strained my hand, however you might not have the same issue on the off chance that you have bigger gloves. 

I got the graphite dark variant of the telephone to survey. Aluminum and ice white models are additionally accessible. There's no composition to the back of the telephone; it's exceptionally smooth and possibly dangerous. I'd certainly prescribe a case. 

There's a dark board at the top back of the gadget, which is home to the back confronting camera and LED streak, which make a slight mound. It's not extremely detectable on the graphite telephone, but rather it will emerge on the aluminum and white models, so remember that in the event that it annoys you. The board is intelligent and picks up fingerprints, however it wipes clean when you slip it in your pocket. 

A unique finger impression scanner on the back of the telephone is situated impeccably for the index finger of both of your hands. It's recessed, so your finger actually falls into it when you get the telephone, and it's less demanding to search out than the dimpled scanner on the Nexus 5X. You can enter up to five fingerprints, and the telephone screen will consequently turn on and open when you lay your finger on the scanner. The procedure is quick and solid; the main time it didn't work was the point at which my fingers were wet, which is the situation with most unique mark scanners. 

Getting around to the front of the telephone, the Nexus 6P has a RGB LED notice light at the top, to one side of the front-confronting camera, however it's not enacted of course. You can transform it on by going into your telephone settings, yet in the event that you need full control of it, you'll have to download an outsider application like Light Flow, which is utilized to set diverse shading flashes and flicker interims for different sorts of warnings. 

My one noteworthy protest about the configuration is that the Power and Volume catches are right alongside each other, on the right half of the gadget. They're close to the point that when attempting to build the volume, I frequently killed the screen. I unintentionally rebooted the gadget twice, once while attempting to dispatch the camera and some other time while it was in my pocket. Huawei tries to help you recognize the two with feel—the Power catch is furrowed, while the Volume rocker is smooth—however I want to have those two controls put on inverse sides of the gadget. It might require you some investment to change in accordance with this situation in case you're not accustomed to it. 

System Performance and Audio 

The Nexus 6P underpins GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz), UMTS/WCDMA (1/2/4/5/8), CDMA (0/1/10), and LTE (2/3/4/5/7/12/13/17/25/26/29/30/41) systems, so it will work ideally on every one of the four noteworthy U.S. bearers (counting quicker transporter accumulation speeds on AT&T and Sprint). T-Mobile's Band 12 will require a product upgrade to be enacted, however. I tried the 6P with T-Mobile administration in Manhattan and Jersey City, and network was fabulous all around I went. Call quality was also great. Voices ran over unmistakably on both finishes, with a characteristic tone and no foundation commotion. Credit that to the telephone's three amplifiers, two in front and one at the back. 

Perceive How We Test Cell Phones 

The 6P has the full arrangement of network fancy odds and ends, including a sensor center point (which powers Doze, the force sparing component in Marshmallow that places applications into profound rest when unused), an accelerometer, a whirligig, an indicator, a closeness/encompassing light sensor, a corridor sensor (to distinguish attractive fields), double band (2.4 and 5GHz) 802.11a/b/g/n/air conditioning Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, GPS, GLONASS, and a compass. 

There's single nano-SIM opening on the left side and a 3.5mm sound raise top, which offers great sound quality, free of crackling, pops, and skips when associated with wired earphones. Bluetooth sound quality is comparatively great. The double front-confronting speakers on the Nexus 6P are especially amazing. Indeed, even at the loudest volume, they keep up a rich sound. Quality is predictable crosswise over gaming, music, and watching recordings. 

Showcase and Camera 

The 6P has a 5.7-inch, 2,560-by-1,440-pixel AMOLED show, which works out to 518 pixels for every inch. It doesn't get as brilliant as the iPhone 6s Plus or the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, yet it delivers profound, rich hues that look awesome. You ought to most likely turn Adaptive Brightness off, on the grounds that it causes sensational fluctuations in screen brilliance because of open air light. I kept the screen brilliance set to 100 percent the whole time I tried the telephone. 

At full shine, the showcase has incredible survey points and is anything but difficult to see in direct daylight. The 6P's board has a slight yellow tinge contrasted and the all the more stark white IPS show on the Nexus 5X. This is to a great extent a matter of inclination, however I find that the tint is simpler on the eyes during the evening. Like the Nexus 6, the 6P has a sensor with the goal that it shows data when it recognizes development or when you get the gadget. Actually, the showcase will likewise turn on and open when you put your finger on the unique finger impression scanner. 

Both the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X offer a 12.3-megapixel back confronting camera, with 1.55µm pixel size, f/2.0 gap, and IR laser-helped self-adjust—giving them a portion of the best low-light camera execution on any standard Android gadget we've tried. Testing the 6P next to each other against the iPhone 6s Plus and the Galaxy Note 5 (two of the better camera telephones available), the Nexus 6P had a marginally slower screen speed, however caught pictures that were shockingly equivalent. The Nexus can't rival the picture nature of the Panasonic CM1, yet its little screen and high value make it a specialty handset. 

At the point when shooting with the back confronting camera there are three modes to browse: Regular, HDR+, and HDR+ A. For HDR+ A, the camera will choose to take a normal shot or a HDR+ shot taking into account the lighting condition and hues. I took the lion's share of test shots in Regular mode. 

Outside daytime shots turned out fresh and clear, with great shading multiplication and point of interest. The main distinction HDR+ makes (beside the slower shade pace) is that hues tend to pop more. Indoor shots, taken of a still-life scene in our test lab, indicated rich shading proliferation and clear, all around centered points of interest. One fascinating note: The 6P is equipped for burst shots, while the 5X isn't, notwithstanding having the same camera equipment. 

In low-light shots, self-adjust takes a second or two to bolt on, and once in a while obliged me to concentrate physically. Evening shots in Manhattan, as in the picture above, were clear and shockingly splendid, however there was some unavoidable grain at the edges of the picture. The territory of center is solid, yet the walkways, streets, and anyplace along the sides of the photograph aren't exactly as fresh. In spite of this, the 6P handles low-light conditions superior to any past Nexus telephones. 

Indoor shots, for example, the photo underneath, were on a par with outside. Shading propagation and point of interest ran over plainly, despite the fact that the room was faintly lit. 

The back confronting camera is likewise fit for 4K video catch at 30fps, 1080p video at 60fps, and 720p video at 120fps. Moderate movement catch happens at higher edge rates, 120fps for 1080p video and up to 240fps at 720p. video was stunning, even in low-light settings, yet an absence of optical picture adjustment (OIS) raised its appalling head every once in a while as some hazy development. 

The front-confronting 8-megapixel camera is pretty much as amazing as the back. It has 1.4µm pixels and a f/2.4 gap, permitting you to take strong shots in any lighting condition. Facial components and skin tones go over plainly, and the lens can catch foundation point of interest without agony from the washed-out look that can torment selfies taken outside. 

Processor and Battery 

The Nexus 6P is a smart gadget, with a 2.0GHz octa-center Snapdragon 810 processor and 3GB of RAM. It doesn't have expandable memory, yet that is gotten to be standard for most current Android leaders. With 32GB ($499), 64GB ($549), and 128GB ($649) stockpiling alternatives at moderately sensible costs, the absence of expandable stockpiling shouldn't be an issue for generally clients. 

The Snapdragon 810 processor has been known not, however that isn't an issue the 6P experiences. The Nexus 6P got an AnTuTu score of 56,621, not exactly the Note 5 (69,235) yet keeping pace with the iPhone 6s Plus (59,257). At no time did I recognize any faltering, slack, or log jam in execution. The telephone took care of recreations like Asphalt 8, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Mortal Kombat X with no issues. That was regardless of my best push to maximize the RAM by utilizing a
