A little about the Nexus 6P – GIGAmir

I’ve got a Nexus 6P – mainly because I need to watch some programs, well, once there is Android, it would like to receive updates immediately, not as with other manufacturers, when updates come first in the best case in six months and then ever. For a change, I decided to take a device that can be something to compensate, if necessary, and if that – and then a bed dig

If you ever hoped that there I’ll tear apart Android, then I will be forced. upset you. First, here I just want to point out a few things just about the device and its hardware, and secondly, it is regrettable to hear the Apple / iPhone fans, Android in its purest form now is very good. There are some moments where all the same it is clear that this system did geeks for geeks, there are moments where inconvenient or nedodumali, but it is also in iOS. So today for most Android users – that is what is determined by the expression “good enough” – good enough for most people could use it quite comfortably. Now you can cry on their iPhones.

And about the Nexus, I would like to say. To begin with – the cable. Hello, of course, that the phone uses USB-C, modern interfaces, progress, that’s all. However, as complete with MacBook, are USB-C cable USB-C. It’s ok, when you have to charge the device, because the power supply that comes, it is necessary to stick USB-C, but when you need to connect your phone in the car, there is a problem. I’m in the car, and you, surely, in the car – the usual USB port, so this cable car is not votknesh and already need an adapter. If in the case of the MacBook is irrelevant, then the phone has connectivity problem more acute. When Apple iPhone transferred to the Lightning, then this connector on the other hand was a normal USB. By the way, the unification of taxis – the Nexus can be charged using a MacBook and cable, and connect the smartphone to a notebook directly (though, since the port is still one, it does not save anything)
ADF.. Cable was found – it turns out, it is necessary to carefully study the contents of the box. Indeed, the set includes a cable with USB-C on a regular USB, however, it is the length of 15 centimeters, and the car still did not poispolzuesh, but generally sprinkle ashes on his head, guilty.

The second problem – this is the location of the fingerprint scanner. The scanner is placed on the back cover, and on the whole it is quite logical, even when the user is holding a phone in his hand: the index finger falls quite naturally there, and I programmed it to unlock the screen. There was one problem: when the phone is on the table, to unlock its fingerprint can only be picking up your phone and got up from the table and catching so that the index finger was on the fingerprint. Since the phone I need it to work, and most of the time it is on the table, then, as you know, the disadvantage with a fingerprint reader, I feel strongly enough. Obviously, the location of the iPhone fingerprint scanner on the front panel is much more versatile and convenient not only for situations when the phone is on the table, but also in all other situations.

Since the fingerprint scanner, there is another problem. Who coached TouchID in iPhone, I know that this process came Apple thoroughly: the system asks at the beginning to make a central part of the finger, and then scans a few times, remembering the fingerprint, and then asked to change the location of the finger, remembering its outer side. As a result, the iPhone finger recognition is immediate and no matter how I put a finger to the scanner TouchID. Nexus also offers no such clear instructions for scanning, 5-6 limited to applying finger. As a result, I was faced with a situation where the finger is often not recognized by the system, because I put it is not as accurate as it memorized phone. It is treated, of course – can be one and the same finger more diverse applying, or one and the same finger to write several “fingerprints”, and the system becomes “easier”, but all of this could be avoided by simply swiping the user through the correct training process.

I do not bother comparing the chambers between the iPhone and the Nexus, but drew attention to the fact that the application as a considerably longer runs and longer focused on objects than the iPhone camera, although it may be a problem anymore The camera application in Android. The projection camera on the back I practically floats, as in the case with the camera in the iPhone, the more that the iPhone I recently in a case in general, applications run fast enough, the animation smooth, all at the same level of quality that and iOS, which, however, is to be expected from a device with 3GB of RAM and an 8-core processor (there must have been at the time of Android kakoy-to enough iron to nakonets-to stop brake and jerk).

Well, in general is, of course, the size of the issue. I never complained, I have small hands, but still this form factor is not exactly for me. Telephone uncomfortable in the hand, it is bad in jeans pocket, really will not fit in the car – just solid inconvenience. I understand that the “giant size” of the original iPhone, as he announced in 2007 Jobs, mutated to a “microscopic”, and a “standard” has moved closer to 4.7-5 inches, but 5.7 inches – it is a bit too much. These dimensions eventually lead to anecdotal situations where chassis flex device as discovered on myself recently Pasha @pqorama Kushelev (though perhaps it is simply too actively digging beds).

PS well, stupid sticker with serial number – is a mockery of the device design. Not only that, he was glued crookedly, but I could understand the deep meaning of this action. Yes, this sticker comes unstuck if it knock over, but for some reason he’s still stuck? I am sure that many users can not even guess that this label can be easily detached, and some can not take the risk, “she suddenly there actually need?”
