Overview Overview: Nexus 6P – BBC News

At the end of September, Google revealed as many as two “standard” Android-smartphone from the line of Nexus. One of the models – Nexus 6P – produced for the Internet search engine Huawei. What impressions this new product left the journalists leading IT-publications found Vesti.Hi-tech.

In short, evaluation Nexus 6P were very, very high. The Verge editor Dieter Bohn no doubt called him “the best Android-smartphone” and columnist Drew Olanoff reports TechCrunch – “the Android-powered device that is waiting for you.” Author Ars Technica Ron Amadeo also not stingy with compliments, describing the new product as “the true leader of the ecosystem Android”.

Nexus 6P housing is made of a single piece of anodized aluminum with bevelled corners, and its thickness is 7.3 mm. According to Bon, PHABLET Huawei is very big – “about the same size with the iPhone 6S Plus, but is much higher Note 5 … Most importantly, it is collected as well as both the phone”, and the weight (178 grams) is uniformly distributed, at the expense of What gadget feels in the hand as a whole. Most browser The Verge did not like the plastic insert at the rear bottom of the phone to pass the antenna signal because it “is not quite exactly matches the color or texture of aluminum.” On the other hand, at the expense of the quality of wireless communication 6P it was higher than on the Nexus 6.

According to Engadget editors Chris Velasco, “Google finally made a great phone, which is convenient to use with one hand.” But the author of TechCrunch Drew Olanoffu ergonomics 6P first seemed not so easy: “I felt some fatigue in the wrists after two days of use. Over the next two days, the feeling began to pass, as I was getting used to the new size and form factor “.

The device has” clear and bright “5.7-inch AMOLED-display (2560h1440) with a density of 518 pixels per inch. Pictures and text look on it “incredibly well”, despite that individual pixels indistinguishable eye, says Velasco and the editor of Mashable Raymond Wong. The only complaint to the display – a glossy finish Gorilla Glass 4, which is why on the glass panel may appear glare when using the gadget on the street.

Fingerprint Sensor – Nexus Imprint – located on the back, and it looks almost like the Touch ID to the “iPhone”. Location sensor journalists called not too comfortable, because it can not be pressed when 6P on the table, and if you keep your hands in your pockets – the device can scan a fingerprint accidentally unlocked. At the same time, the sensor learns the owner “terribly quickly and accurately,” says Bon and its location – “ideal for the index finger”.

In addition, the department Nexus Imprint of the key power-observers saw the benefits. Clicking on the button on the side, the user can quickly see a list of notifications and incoming messages, and to release the lock, it is enough to touch the sensor. According Olanoffa and Mark Sullivan and VentureBeat, the location of the sensor back, under the camera, more natural than the built-in key “Home” Touch ID in the i-devices. And Mashable’s attributed to the merits Nexus Imprint payments support features Android Pay, which allows you to instantly make purchases. “I liked it more than the Apple Pay 6 on my iPhone” – wrote Wong.

The Nexus 6P installed 12.3-megapixel sensor Sony (f / 2.0) with a large pixel size – 1.55 microns, which allows more light to pass the matrix and obtain high-quality photos even in low light. According to Bon, outside camera gives sharp images with rich colors and indoor white balance is accurate, and at the expense of the human skin looks quite natural. A Olanoff wrote that produces 6P “Super Fine” photos, comparable in quality to a DSLR-camera.

The camera 6P supports burst mode, which makes eight consecutive pictures and chooses, in his opinion, the most successful. Of them can make a collage or animated GIF-image. Also, the “eye” of the smartphone is able to shoot in 4K-quality slow-motion and record video at 120 or 240 (in 720p) frames per second. From lacks camera Bon called slow HDR-mode which handles the photo is not as fast as we would like.

Browser Engadget called the camera 6P more than worthy for the Nexus-smart phone, but she did not call up competing models, such as the iPhone 6S and Galaxy Note 5. Wong liked the camera, but it is disappointed by the lack of optical image stabilization as iPhone 6S Plus.

Gadget Huawei – the first widely available smart phone is equipped with a universal port USB Type-C, which can be used for charging, data transfer and connectivity peripherals. “USB Future” allows 6P charged very quickly (see below), as well as serve as an external battery for other devices. However, until the new standard is not too common (and with microSD-compatible wires), and the company knowingly put in a box, two cable (Type-C Type-C on and the Type-A to Type-C).

Inside the Nexus 6P are 8 -core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810 with 2 GHz, Adreno 430 graphics and three gigabytes of RAM. On the performance of the smartphone journalists complained. Its filling is combined with Android 6.0 provides a good processing power. “I did not notice any lag or the brakes, even in demanding games” – the author writes The Verge.

According to measurements Engadget, 6P on the benchmark results were mixed, at the level of the most powerful Android-smartphone this year. On the CF-Bench tests and AndEBench Pro device Huawei even behind the Note 5, Moto X Pure and One Plus 2. In reality, however, this is not felt: Games Asphalt 8: Airborne and Dead Trigger 2 (at the highest settings) brakes It was observed, except that the device is a little hot. “More cores and higher clock rate does not necessarily mean better performance. Optimizing software – now the king,” – said Wong.

The battery unit Huawei confident enough for the whole day. In the test, The Verge, the browser when the page is updated cyclically every 60 seconds, 6P lasted a little longer than eight hours – less than the Galaxy Note 5. More the journalists impressed by the rapid charging function: the device replenish the battery from 25 to 45% in just 15 minutes, and he had the time to fully recharge from 0 to 100%. And on the test Engadget, when the HD-video played back repeatedly, and the screen brightness was set at 50%, 6P “lived” 11 o’clock 34 minutes – longer than the Moto X Pure Edition, but less Note 5.

The new Huawei – first, that runs on the Android operating system 6.0 (Marshmallow) “out of the box.” On all the major smartphone preinstalled applications Google, as it is updated automatically when you turn on the device. Google search integrated everywhere: from assistant to the Chrome browser Google Now. Olanoff especially singled Now On Tap – a new feature Marshmallow, which issues related to the content of links and information from any application. But Velasco said exclusive to Android 6.0 feature that performs automatic backups of programs and data on “Disc Google”.

In The Verge, listing the shortcomings 6P, attributed to him a universal port USB Type-C, which is not too common, slow processing photos in HDR-mode, as well as serving the “eye” of the camera, and plastic injection, some spoiling design . Reviewers Mashable did not like the lack of microSD-card slot, and Engadget found that the design of the device Huawei “lacks charm”, he too sensitive power button, and the camera falls short of competing models.

With these claims agreed VentureBeat: “iPhone 6S – better than the Nexus 6P. It was created more talented designers and engineers … That’s why iPhone 6S makes better pictures and video on your 12-megapixel sensor. ” At the same time, journalists admitted that there is “iPhone” unreasonably expensive.

At the same time 6P was named today by the representative of the family of Nexus and one of the best Android-smartphone at all. Praise worthy “premium” quality of the design and assembly of the device Huawei, “super-fast” fingerprint sensor, excellent performance, “long-playing” battery and the presence of Android 6.0.
