The
Google Nexus 6P becomes official as the search company's top of the line
handset which caters the phablet-loving users. On paper, this device is the
first-ever Nexus smartphone to use an all-metal unibody fashion - joining the rest of the 2015 flagship smartphones in the market. Despite having
a "6P" moniker, the handset only features a 5.7-inch Quad AMOLED
display.
The Google Nexus 6P Design and Hardware
The
Nexus 6P is fresh; in fact it’s made by Nexus first-timer, Huawei. Design-wise, the Chinese
outfit had a greater influence on the phablet than Google. The candybar phone is basically thin
with 7.3 millimeter on its thickest point. The handset is taller compared to
the previous Nexus 6 due to the inclusion of dual frontal speakers.
Second-generation
Snapdragon 810 and 12.3MP rear camera
Talking
about the internals, the smartphone employs the newer and enhanced version of
the Snapdragon 810 (which is now cooler than the first S810 generation).
Camera-wise, the Nexus 6P is also a performer. This powerhouse boasts a 12.3MP
sensor with 1.55-micrometer pixels and F/2.0 aperture. The rear camera can
record up to 2160p videos and capture great low-light quality with the addition
of the dual-LED flash. For selfie lovers, the front-facing camera includes an 8MP
sensor with 1.4-micrometer pixels and F/2.4 aperture.
Android
6.0 Marshmallow, 3450 mAh battery and USB Type C
As
expected, the Google Nexus 6P becomes one of the hardware ambassadors of
Android 6.0 Marshmallow which is the freshest and the fastest mobile operating
system from the Alphabet-owned company. The handset also enjoys the Doze function
embedded in the OS which will optimize the usage of the 3450 mAh battery.
Likewise, the Nexus 6P joins the bandwagon of reversible USB Type C users which
also improves charging capability of the smartphone. According to Google, a
10-minute charging time will allow 7 hours of phone usage.
Nexus
Imprint Fingerprint scanner
The
RAM is still stuck at 3GB but the addition of the Nexus Imprint fingerprint
sensor at the back panel makes it more interesting than ever. You
can also choose among 32GB, 64GB and 128GB configurations. The 32GB comes with
an asking price of USD 500. The 64GB and 128GB are priced at USD 550 and USD
650, respectively. The Google Nexus 6P is painted with Aluminum, Graphite,
Frost and Gold colors.
