The’P’ in the Nexus 6P stands for’premium’ and the device oozes it aplenty, right from the moment you first hold it. From the metallic finish of the body to the super-smooth, oft buttery, touchscreen, the device is premium all the way.
I got the Grey(or Graphite) colored 32 GB one. The back of the phone houses the fingerprint scanner(the circle above the nexus logo), the secondary microphone and a black, slightly raise bezel with the camera and the flash. I had read about people complaining that the bezel protrudes out too much, but I barely noticed the bulge. The front of the phone is pretty minimalistic with the screen, two speakers(top and bottom) and the front camera.
In the box you get the sim removal tool, a charger, a Type C-Type C fast charging cable, a USB-Type C cable for connecting to your PC, a warranty-info guide and the device itself.
At 7.3 mm thickness, the device is quite thin and the 5.7 inches of real estate doesn’t seem all that gregarious. The device is also quite light in weight, weighing in at just 179 grams. In spite of being thin and light, the device feels very sturdy and premium, like it could handle a few falls and bumps.
I haven’t really put the phone through it’s paces as yet, but haven’t had any issues of heating(as many people have complained) or of lag. The phone easily runs through all the daily tasks I put it through(read as meme making, video editing and browsing the Internet). Answering and listening to calls is also quite crisp and clear.
All in all, the phone is a complete package. The specifications include:
5.7" WQHD Display
3 GB RAM
32 GB ROM(64 GB is also available)
3450 mAh battery
Fingerprint sensor
2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Octa Core Processor
USB Type-C Charger
The phone also comes equipped with a 12.3 MP primary(back) camera and a 8 MP secondary shooter(for all your selfie needs:p). I found that the camera works extremely well in both low-light and outdoor conditions and captures stunning images.
The phone is loaded with stock Android Marshmallow out of the box, is 4G ready, and equips a nano-SIM card.
The fingerprint sensor is outstanding at it’s job and recognized my fingerprint 9 out of 10 times. It is receptive and extremely fast as well. No qualms there.
Albeit the phone is the best one I have used so far, it still has some features lacking, namely, a dual sim card slot and the provision for expandable storage.
If these aren’t your sole requirements in a phone, I will wholeheartedly recommend the Huawei Nexus 6P.
