Annual update Nexus- line devices become a good tradition. Of course, due to the increased prices “guglofony” lost the audience, but they are still in demand by developers and fans of Android. Many are waiting for the Nexus new, because like it or not – this is good, at least balanced, features, and better support, and space for experiments with its own smartphone. In 2015, with the “Nexus”, there was another metamorphosis – they showed us two whole device. With the first, more affordable and mass, we have already met. Today was the turn of the flagship – Huawei Nexus 6P. It is interesting not only their characteristics, but also by the fact that it has established Huawei, because for us it is the first device of this kind

Nexus 6P packaging, reminiscent of other relevant line of products, for example, Chromecast. Cardboard box with rounded edges wrapped cover.
Inside, it conceals the battery charger, cable, two USB Type-C, clip and documentation. With cables turned ambiguous situation. Native charger connector is equipped with Type-C, the same on your smartphone, respectively, long charging cable symmetrical, with a new connector on both ends. The second wire is much shorter (about 30 cm) c connectors USB 2.0 Type-A and Type-C. It turns out that charging is suitable only to new smartphones with Type-C, and the second cable would be inconvenient for users of stationary PCs if necessary to connect a smartphone to the data.
Design and ease of use
Nexus 6P – is an all-metal smartphone with molded housing. As part of the lineup for the first time created a similar device, but Huawei has “run” a design on their own devices
On the front of the phone looks like a standard and even boring – just a black bar without the elements evolved. Logo of the manufacturer not, camera and speakers practically merge with the rest of the panel.
Behind all the fun, but also quite modest. Making the bottom plastic inserts remind Huawei G7, and the design of the top of a completely original, with curved edges on most glass panel, plus a large inscription Nexus logo and miniature products under it. Unlike previous “nexus”, an inscription marked on metal paint or laser, so the letters just do not fall off.
The layout standard and convenient. The front panel has stereo speakers, camera, LED, sensor set. The main microphone is hidden under the net dynamics, it is not visible. Bottom – USB Type-C, from the top – mini-jack. At the upper left there is only a single tray nanoSIM, respectively, the volume on and keys are on the right. They are located just above the center of the sidewall, and the power button there is an additional notch, so it does not get confused with the lower key.
Both metal, normally protruding above the hull, with a well defined, but a quiet clicking. The only complaint – the keys lightly rumble if very strongly shake the smartphone
In addition to the above elements, the rear lid can be found main camera lens, flash, sensors, a second microphone, and fingerprint scanner.
The latter became a standard feature for the Nexus smartphones and works well – to unlock the smartphone is enough to touch the scanner detection occurs almost instantly, the accuracy is comparable with the iPhone 6S. According to subjective impressions, the scanner is faster than smartphones Samsung and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.
In terms of body size and ease of use is a typical solution for such a diagonal screen. the average width of the display frames, the body is thin and the edge “back” additionally rounded – the designers have done their best to smartphone was possible to use with one hand. In addition, the minimum dimensions differ from models with screens of 5.5 inches.
Compare the size of Apple iPhone 6, Huawei Nexus 6P and Meizu M1 Note
in general, among the current Nexus Huawei offspring can be called the best, despite the dimensions of the body – all thanks to the verified forms and heed to the “minor” detail such as buttons.
display
Choosing the type of display devices for the flagship and “more average” more manufacturers prefer AMOLED matrices. With Nexus 6P similar situation – it is set AMOLED display diagonal of 5.7 inches with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels (518 ppi). Matrix is covered by a protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4 with quality oleophobic coating.
The display is traditionally a wide color gamut and overall good calibration. The maximum measured brightness of the image (white background) – 343 cd / m² minimum – 5.4 cd / m². This brightness adjustment range is enough for comfortable use your smartphone in any conditions – and in bright sunlight and in the dark. Is the Auto adjust backlight, it works correctly.
AMOLED matrix is selected for a reason. In the first place, such a matrix consume less power compared to conventional IPS, secondly, it is necessary for the proper implementation of the functions of the “active display” (with the screen off when you pick up your smartphone from the table, it shows the time and notifications on the lock screen).
This is in black and white, so this functionality is spending a minimum charge (you can disable it in the settings). Similarly, the screen is illuminated if you are getting some new notification, such as email or calendar event
screen Readability on the street (automatic brightness control)
When it comes to image quality, it can be called good. Compared with the same Motorola Nexus 6 a noticeable jump occurred – missing purple image characteristic previous generations of such displays. On the other hand, Galaxy S6 line displays little better. By and large, the display lacks only the possibility of setting the color by yourself.
Display Calibration Nexus 6 P (the default mode)
Colors “as is” may seem too intense, and sRGB mode, which is activated in the settings for developers on the contrary, too “pinches” color gamut and it seems that the traditional high-quality IPS provides a more eye-pleasing color saturation.
display Calibration Nexus 6 p (mode sRGB )
Unable to carry out a direct comparison of the majority will not notice such nuance so on the characteristic diagram display can be called great, he does not yield to smart phones of other companies.
Hardware platform
In contrast to the “younger» LG Nexus 5X, the flagship chose the most productive Qualcomm platform – Snapdragon 810. The Nexus 6P used the second revision of the chipset that is optimized in terms of heat dissipation. Unfortunately, the feelings of this quietly.
Like the rest Soup on Snapdragon 810 smartphone heats up under load and remains warm during normal use, especially if there is an active data transfer or using the camera.
The reduction results in benchmark Antutu due to throttling as a consequence of the heating of the chipset
heat hardly be called critical and uncomfortable, it just is. Thin metal housing contributes to the rapid removal of heat from the processor and its almost uniform distribution over the back
In addition to the expected heat to the hardware hard to make claims -. Has all the necessary wireless modules, they included a reference performance, smooth animations, and etc.
Nexus 6P equipped with 3 GB of RAM and the amount of non-volatile memory is 32, 64 or 128 GB so that even minimal configuration would be comfortable to use, if you are not used to carry around a photo archive for several years and stored in the memory of all the episodes of “friends».
The operating system uses Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Preinstalled apps for Google services and other third-party programs do not – pure Android, and what you expect from the Nexus. About OS functionality you can learn from a separate survey.
Calls, multimedia
Like other “Nexus”, this also works with only one nano SIM-card format. Available in stereo speakers are located the most successful way – above and below the screen. In terms of sound quality of the speakers Nexus 6P easily contend c HTC One M9 and maybe even will be better. These speakers have everything. Excellent volume, the audio stream, focused on the user and clear sound with a hint of bass
with the quality of music playback is no problem, surround sound, clean, with excellent reserve volume. Vibrate noticeable and runs quietly.
Hours
The smartphone has a removable battery capacity of 3450 mAh. We have not had the opportunity to check in detail the work of the smartphone, but the impressions drawn up for a couple of days of use, we can say that all is well with autonomy, if comparisons with other flagships.
Judge. A fully charged smartphone worked day minimum use of time and discharged by 15%. Then I “drove” all the benchmarks, made more than a hundred test shots, some flash, estimated remaining use of nuances. The total time of the screen work was 3 hours. Accordingly, in the normal mode, Huawei Nexus 6P easy to use will last day under medium-high load, and some will get two days of work. Like it or not, but a bunch of AMOLED, and a new version of the OC even works in tandem with voracious “iron».
From the included charger fully discharged smartphone charge on 50% for 30-35 minutes (5V / 3A) and took full charge and a half hours
camera
at Nexus 6P two cameras -. primary 12.3 megapixel with dual LED flash and autofocus and a front laser resolution of 8 megapixels. Both sensors have an increased pixel size – is at the core of 1.55 m, from the front – 1.4 mm
To shoot using Google Camera application with a minimal number of settings.. You do not have the possibility to set up either ISO, or adjust the exposure, nor indicate the focal length, while on the screen can poke an object on which to focus.
Despite the paucity of options, both cameras shoot excellent. The quality of the photos is comparable to the LG G4 and Galaxy S6 – maybe a little bit worse, but overall the camera copes well with most popular scenes and complex shooting conditions
Happy laser autofocus works quickly, but at night the situation. it is predicted and the focus going long. Although the algorithm is to pay tribute – Automatic multiple times trying to focus on different objects, not just sets the focal distance to infinity.
