The powerful filling this smartphone with a large screen runs Android 6 control without any third-party add-ons and skins. In the apparatus a great Super clear screen, attractive design and high-quality camera. But at what cost? All the pros and cons of “thoroughbred” find out news Vesti.Hi-tech
The release of “reference” of smartphones under the brand Nexus in conjunction with Google engaged in many well-known companies, including HTC, LG, Motorola, Samsung. As is known, these devices use the interface and unmodified stock Android application. In the past year to demonstrate the version 6.0 (Marshmallow), two new “Google Phone,” this series was presented. One – Nexus 5X (. See our review) released LG, the other – Nexus 6P -. Huawei

Design and Ergonomics
The new smartphone with a large 5.7-inch screen in the first line of Nexus received anodized aircraft-grade aluminum. New from Huawei (Nexus 6P) significantly slimmer its 6-inch plastic precursor – Motorola Nexus 6, it was not only thinner (7.3 mm vs. 10.06 mm), but lighter (178 g vs. 184 g). At the same time, measures both in terms of smartphones make 159,3h77,8 159,26h82,98 mm and mm, respectively. But in comparison with the 5.7-inch glass-metal Samsung Galaxy Note 5, the new “standard” as follows: 7.3 mm to 7.6 mm; 178 g vs. 171 g; 159,3h77,8 mm against 153,2×76,1 mm. For enclosures Nexus 6P in Russia chose two color schemes – silver metallic and gray graphite. On the test we got the machine in the first color, which, generally speaking, looks more advantageous and, perhaps, even the premium.
The display with on-screen buttons” Back “,” Home “and” Recent Apps “in the form of icons” triangle “,” circle “,” square ” which occupies about 72% of the front surface, protects the safety of the latest generation glass – Corning Gorilla glass 4 with oleophobic coating
The insets top and bottom of the screen provides decorative lattices for stereo
At the same time,” Elementary, “a microphone and one of the microphones for noise cancellation (of three microphones) hiding behind the same bars.
In addition, the upper inset located front camera lens, LED charging / events indicator and illumination sensors and proximity.
On the left edge there is only one private slot that hides the tray designed for the installation of the module identification format subscriber nanoSIM (4FF). tray dimensions in terms of quite allow to adapt it for two such modules. Why is this not done – it is unclear. Key from the lock slot included with your smartphone (as the master key, you can use a small paperclip).
On the right edge together were the volume rocker and power on / lock button
At the same time, the latter received a carved surface texture, which makes it possible to easily distinguish it by feel.
at the top end alone was 3.5 mm connector audiogarnitury
while the lower end – symmetrical connector USB Type-C for charging and syncing with your computer
At the bottom of the metal rear panel, decorated with a large logo of Nexus and less noticeable – Huawei,

At the top of the same panel stands just ahead serving platform, sheltered dark glass, which lie under the main camera lens, dual LED flash and a laser range finder (for AF).
below is a hole for a second microphone for noise cancellation, and even lower – slightly recessed round playground capacitive fingerprint scanner Nexus Imprint
The rough matte surface of the rear panel allows you to more or less securely hold the smartphone in the palm of your hand. At the same time, to effectively use the 5.7-inch device with one hand is unlikely to succeed. And the means to do so in the settings Nexus 6P simply absent. By the way, smart phones with a larger screen, nicknamed colloquially “shovels”, many do not like, if only because it is not of any size pocket suitable for wearing them.
screen, camera, sound
to display Nexus 6P chose Super AMOLED-matrix with a diagonal of 5.7 inches, which provides a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels, also known as WQHD (Wide Quad HD, QHD 2K or just ). In this case, the density of pixels per inch is estimated manufacturer of 518 ppi (theoretically, about 515 ppi). Unlike other smartphones with AMOLED-display, where color correction is generally available additional profiles in Nexus 6P will have to be content with the factory settings and “acid” colors (the latter, of course, a matter of taste). However, you can tapnut several times in the Settings section of the build number “About phone” to “Developers” section appear in the main menu. It has a sRGB mode option, which reduces the activation of the color gamut and makes the colors (perhaps subjectively) less bright.
Quite good anti-glare properties screen complemented by a decent margin of brightness that makes it comfortable to use your smartphone, including, even in direct sunlight. The brightness level is proposed to adjust, either manually or by using its automatic setup for a light sensor ( “Adaptive”). The capacitive screen supports multi-touch Nexus 6P, and the program MultiTouch Test and AntTuTu Tester confirmed that recognize up to ten simultaneous keystrokes. On the protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4, which is to protect the screen from scratches, not only, but also in the fall, provided oleophobic layer. What best suits such a large display, clear from its name – Cinematic (cinematic). By the way, if in the settings screen to enable the option “Disable Sleep Mode”, then taking the device in hand, you can not unlock, however, in a monochrome version, see the current time, date, day of week, and most importantly – received notification
smartphones Nexus 6P got the same basic camera as his “peers” Nexus 5X, when 12 , 3-megapixel sensor is placed on the 1 / 2.3-inch BSI-matrix (Sony IMX377 Exmor R). Fast aperture (aperture of f / 2.0) and the large size of the pixel matrix (1.55 m) promise to capture more light and produce sharp images with a high level of detail. However, unlike its predecessor – Motorola Nexus 6, the camera of the new “standard” was left without optical stabilization. However, a mandatory kit contains a laser autofocus and dual LED flash. The color rendering index of the last – CRI (Colour Rendering Index) is equal to 90. The fact that two different types of light sources may have the same color temperature, but color transfer in different ways. Therefore, color rendering index is defined as a measure of the degree of color deviation of the object illuminated by a light source of the color when illuminated reference light source of comparable color temperature. By the way, CRI from sunlight is taken as 100.
The maximum picture resolution main camera is 4032h3024 points (12.2 MP) for the classic proportions of the frame and 4:3 3840h2160 points (8.3 MP) for a ratio of 16: 9. Examples of the photo can be seen here.
For the quality selfie in Nexus 6P responds front 8-megapixel camera with an optical size of the matrix 1 / 3.2 inch and 1.4 micron pixel side (Sony IMX179 Exmor R). Its lens aperture – f / 2.4. Note that no additional funds for the decoration of “crossbows” stock app does not provide. The maximum resolution of the classical aspect ratio (4: 3) is 3264h2448 points (8 MP), and for larger image (16: 9) -. 2688h1512 points (4.1 MP)
If the main camera can shoot 4K video mode (3840×2160 pixels, 16: 9) at 30 fps, the front camera for better quality – is Full HD (1920×1080 pixels, 16: 9) with the same frame rate. At 720p resolution main camera can take pictures at a frame rate of 120 or 240 fps and slow playback in 4 or 8 times, respectively. All content is stored in the MP4-container files (AVC – video, AAC – sound)
Preferences stock application “Camera” allows to determine the aspect ratio and recording quality, and enable electronic video stabilization.. The menu offers three modes of scenario – “round panorama”, “Panorama” and “Blur” (change the depth of field). HDR + icon in the upper right corner of the screen includes the eponymous mode when several taken with different exposure images are superimposed on one another to produce the final image, which is equally well designed and bright and dark areas. Switching between photo and video shooting modes performed swipe (left, right).
For each of the two speakers on the front of the smartphone assigned its own power amplifier Smart PA (Power Amplifier). These external sources provide a fairly sound quality almost to the maximum volume. By the way, sometimes it may seem that the lower, “multimedia”, the speaker is trying harder “conversational”. FM-tuner, as usual in all the “Nexus”, is also missing. No list of standard programs and the “Voice Recording”.
Filling, performance
As a Nexus 6P chosen hardware platform 8- core 64-bit processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994) with architecture big.LITTLE GTS (Global Task Scheduling), where, thanks to the heterogeneous multiprotsessingu, you can use all available cores at once. In this case, the version v2.1 of the chip, which, in particular, has high clock speed of the graphics accelerator.
The eight processor cores is partitioned into two clusters, the first – four ARM Cortex-A57 running at a frequency of 2.0 GHz, while the second – four ARM Cortex- A53, but with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. All graphics load MSM8994 assumes Adreno 430 accelerator supporting OpenGL ES 3.1. “Highlight” the Snapdragon 810 is a built-in modem with LTE-Advanced (Cat. 6) option. It also provided support for Bluetooth interfaces, USB and NFC. The base configuration of the device complements the 3 GB of RAM LPDDR4, which is characterized by a lower power consumption than, for example, LPDDR3. In general, a smartphone power even on resource-intensive tasks (including 3D-games), the issues tend to arise – usually all just “flying” without a hint of the freezes. The performance of the Nexus 6P falls into the “big leagues”, but there he is not the champion.
This can be seen, for example, of synthetic tests and benchmarks AnTuTu benchmark Vellamo (Multicore, Metal).
Given WQHD-screen resolution, Nexus 6P very confidently made on the visual test at Epic Citadel succession of settings to high Performance, high Quality through to the Ultra high Quality, shows the average the frame rate of 56.9, 55.5 and 43,8 fps, respectively.
Pretty good smartphone performance at the universal 3DMark gaming benchmark, where the result obtained on the tests recommended by Sling Shot (ES 3.1), amounted to 1459 points.
But the total number of points earned on the Nexus 6P cross-platform benchmark Base Mark OS II, was 1486.
On the test we got smartphone with 64 GB of internal memory (there is a version with 32 GB), where available were about 53.6 GB, and is free, of course, even less. Unfortunately, the slot for the expansion of the store here, which is typical for “guglofonov” is not provided. Support for USB-OTG technology (USB Host), where you can connect to the unit normal USB flash drive, it was not possible to verify in the absence of the appropriate cable. As follows from the formal specification data rate corresponds USB 2.0 interface. Note that the minimum file manager features (app is not in the katabatic Android) laid down in the settings of the smartphone (See section “Storage and USB-drives”).
For voice communications and the Internet is one module format Subscriber Identity nanoSIM (4FF ), which works with the LTE-modem (Cat. 6, 300 Mbit / s). Among the supported 4G frequency bands – “Russian troika” -. FDD-LTE Band 3 (1 800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz) and Band 20 (800 MHz)
Communication kit includes, in including 2-band Wi-Fi-module 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac (2,4 and 5 GHz), NFC and Bluetooth 4.2 LE. At the same time, in the latter interface, increased speed of information exchange between devices while reducing power consumption.
In the definition of the location and navigation to help multi-system receiver. Even indoors rather quickly searched satellites from the GPS and GLONASS groups. Also provided technology support for A-GPS (coordination via Wi-Fi and cellular networks).
The capacity of non-removable lithium-polymer battery in the Nexus 6P is 3450 mAh, which is only 230 mAh more than its predecessor – Motorola Nexus 6 (3220 mAh). For fast Nexus 6P battery requires a special 15-watt adapter, which, alas, is not compatible with the specification Qualcomm Quick Charge. The maximum output current of the accessory at a voltage of 5 V up to 3 A. Theoretically, the battery is full filling is in this case 1 hour 25 minutes. The manufacturer also indicates that after 10 minutes of battery life, it has enough energy to 7 hours of operation. Check it all failed, because the smart phone came to us for testing at all without the AC adapter.
In the tests, the battery AnTuTu Tester smartphone earned 7819 points. This is a good result, given the fact that, for example, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED-screen (WQHD resolution) scored about the same points. Every hour play test video format MP4 (hardware decoding) and Full HD-quality at maximum brightness reduced Nexus 6P battery charge is approximately 10%
Energy saving mode can be programmed in the settings when the battery charge level is 5% or 15%. To save battery, reduced productivity, as well as limited use of vibration, geolocation and background data.
software features
Smartphone Nexus 6P running Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) operating system without any “impurities”. This, in fact, and is the main advantage “guglofonov” that the first to receive all the changes and additions firmware. So, you can see that it has been the first update to version 6.0.1.
as you can see,” material design “interface has remained in place, and all the main differences between the” six “of the previous version of Android, you can read in our review (see. here).
To unlock the smartphone easy to use fingerprint scanner Nexus Imprint. Fingerprint Registration is performed in a few touches, and the reading process – virtually instantly. In memory of the smartphone can be stored up to five scans papillary patterns.
