Navigator, an access point, a game console, an interpreter and, of course, a camera. We tell how all these tasks handled Huawei Nexus 6P in the New Year trip to Warsaw and back.
This year, Google has pleased us with two smartphone lineup Nexus – easier Nexus 5X, which replaced the Nexus 5 and Huawei Nexus 6P, replaced on duty Motorola Nexus 6.
LG Nexus 5X we have carefully tested, it was now the flagship Nexus 6P. In the test it, we’ve got before the New Year, so it was decided to test the powerful gadget in the “field” – during a visit to Warsaw.
But first, a look at the filling device.
Specifications
For clarity, we compared the specs to its predecessor – Nexus 6. An interesting observation: despite the decrease in both the smartphone display diagonal of the same length, but the smartphone Motorola wider and thicker.
Design
Huawei Nexus 6P got metal housing with black glass area of the main chamber (“chip” flagship 2015) and totally black front surface (“chip” of the smartphone Nexus). The gadget is available in several colors, more recently – in the “trendy” golden.
«Live» photos in comparison with Motorola Nexus 6:
Glass and metal are doing their job – the smartphone looks expensive. Do not let down and Labor – a monolithic body, without a hint of squeaks and backlash.
A nice detail – the grooved lock button. I’ll tell you that the materials of the body other than – week test without any covers on metal and glass did not appear the slightest scratch.
However, despite the lack of plastic, pretty slim body and black box rear design of the device seems to be dull and straightforward. Perhaps this impression is created by the all-black front panel, perhaps – because of the “cold” color metal back cover, perhaps – because of the large size of the device. But to explain in words is difficult – you need to see.
Of the remaining parts – plastic inserts at the ends immediately resemble those in your iPhone, on the front panel (like all guglofonov) there are no inscriptions, but the word Nexus is clearly visible on the back cover, with a modest inscription Huawei below.
Finding USB-adapter
The fingerprint reader here like Nexus 5x, is back. I do not think is the best location, so as to read the notice, you will have to pick up the smartphone from the table. In the case of gadgets Apple / Samsung / Meizu (and some others) with the front of the scanner arrangement is no such problem.
The second item, which may seem uncomfortable – a new connector USB Type-C. Yes, this is the future of all Android-smartphone, but has to throw files with Nexus 6P to your computer, you’ll need an adapter to a regular USB.
Before the trip, I ran Pavilions shopping center near the editorial office, but could not find the desired accessory (though in Chinese Internet stores full of them). Hey, Google, why not put kopek adapter in the box with your smartphone?
«tucking into plates cosmic maps …»
15:00. The car leaves from Minsk and takes the way to Warsaw. Nexus 6P works as a navigator for the driver and at the same time, access points, handing out the Internet to passengers.
The Huawei decided to set the tablet is one of the best screens on the market – 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels. Exactly the same – in the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (review on 42.TUT.BY).
The screen is bright, the maximum contrast, black is really black. But there is one “but.” If Samsung’s display settings of its flagship offering to get rid of “screaming” colors and overly dark blue palette characteristic of the Super AMOLED, the pure Android (base of nexus) – no.
For some it is a riot of colors – is the norm, but I, frankly, it irritates.
3 hours on the border: games, quizzes and everything
New Year’s border in Brest – that still pleasure. In total, we stood on it for 3.5 hours, of which about 3 hours took a slow entrance to the Belarusian customs checkpoint. During this time I was able to test the gaming capabilities of the device.
To be honest, I was almost 100% certain that the “hot» Snapdragon 810 ruin and Nexus 6P (as he did with other smart phones). But no! I do not know how experts Huawei coped with this problem (and perhaps arrived, once again revised version of the processor), but metal smartphone appreciably heated even in difficult games.
Checked, 10 minutes” tanks “on the highest setting really heated area under the camera, but not much. By the way, fps, even with these settings did not fall below 30.
A great result which confirms the results of synthetic benchmarks. Huawei Nexus 6P – truly one of the most powerful smartphones on the market, not spoiled Snapdragon 810.
2:00 time difference and the time “dead” battery
And here we are in Poland. The clock in the “roaming” smartphones automatically rebuilt on the Polish time – it was midnight, it was 10 pm. Inner rhythm keeps for hours in a car, showing “in Minsk».
The journey to Warsaw took another couple of hours. An interesting point – Huawei 6P with the navigator “died” right outside the hotel, so look for a backup plan was not necessary. Unfortunately, the car charger from the cigarette lighter – with the usual USB-connector – turned out to be useless (an adapter, remember to buy before the trip did not work).
But in any case, the result – excellent. Smartphone stayed in heavy duty about 11 hours – Navigator permanently on screen, the mobile access point, and about an hour of games and tests.
A little later, I tested the smartphone in the “working” mode. With the synchronization of the working-mail, Skype, Facebook and Instagram, and about 1.5-2 hours web-surfing, 30 minutes of games and 20 minutes of calls he sustained about 30 hours.
Synthetic AnTuTu test confirmed the real picture . The indicator is not a record, but it is quite good. Thank economical Super AMOLED display, “pacification” processor and a fairly large battery.
By the way, wireless charging, as in the case of the Nexus 5X, are saved. But in vain.
Testing the camera in the Old Town
The next two days passed like hours: a walk through the old town (center of Warsaw), New Year (first in our time, and then – local), again the old town, the dream and again walking on the Polish capital.
All this time Huawei Nexus 6P served as a camera. In the daytime, the pictures are excellent – the good, the weather was sunny. In low light situation worse – popping noise and artifacts, but still good. As always, enjoy corporate neksusovsky mode HDR +, focusing speed device is also at altitude.
Sample pictures (are clipped to 1200 pixels on the larger side) – in the gallery below:
But as a smartphone shoots video. New Year’s Eve fireworks in the center of Warsaw:
As a result,
At Huawei and Google receives a great smartphone, albeit with reservations. It is worth noting flawless assembly Nexus 6P, housing made of glass and metal (albeit with subjectively dull design), high performance, excellent camera, Super clear and very bright display (though “stretching into the blue”), as well as the good battery.
a serious disadvantage here. Fingerprint works fine, though is not very convenient adapter to the USB Type-C can be found, but otherwise no complaints. The only obstacle to the purchase could be the price – currently gadget with 32 GB of memory is worth, we have about 15 million rubles.
At the same time 12 million rubles is already possible to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 no worse stuffing or Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + with a curved 5.7-inch display. In addition, much cheaper Nexus 6 – planshetofon that can be purchased for 8.2 million Belarusian rubles.
Expert 42.TUT.BY Tossia believes that Google and Huawei was excellent in all respects a smartphone, but recommends to wait a few months until it drops the price.
