If you a fanboy still undermentioned things will catch ur attention. Google Announced Two nexus this year and to all as per the leaks it was known for sure LG and Huawei were the partners this time, before the launch Huawei designed phone was criticized a lot because of its odd one out design and Nexus 5x from Lg was appreciated alot for its alot similar nexus 5 design language.
Specs: CPU: Octacore Snapdragon 810 v2.1, 2Ghz GPU: Adreno 430 Ram: 3Gb LPDDR4 Display: 5.7" AMOLED 2560x1440, 518 ppi Battery:3450 mAh Usb Type C Camera: 12.3 MP 1.55 micron pixel
the Build quality is great and was least expected from Huawei but the company has nailed it with unibody Aluminium construction( a trend started by apple and HTC atleast Nexus should have tried something new) with 3D glasses on rear as well and diamond chamfered Edges. But thats what is also its problem the ionised polish done over the aluminium Makes it the most slippery phone available and that can be a hurtfull thing at times.
the second best feature is the Camera with 12.3 MP to play with and with 1.55 Micron pixel lens(seen for over a few years on apple and Samsung devices) the device has one of the best camera in the industry on a mobile device(still apple manages to be better if the competition is for non android devices and among androids Samsung beats anything around it these days) But with great hardware comes a great responsibility in making up the software too. And google failed in it the camera app is slow sluggish and is certainly not able to benefit it self from that awesome hardware.
Pure android as promised for all nexus this one will also get updated to the latest offering from Google's Kitchen, and I love the stock android feel But still even with Lastest android 6.0 I find memory management issues now and then and instead of the snappiest Snapdragon 810 processors many app suffers in load up time or if grabbed from background running apps and I have to give a reboot to the system to restore its speed again. May be this wont affect you sooner if you are not heavy user but it will get u someday.
And since I am hear to point out the problems with the so called flagship from Google, It follows below:
Shuttering of apps I blame it still to the existent Memory Management Issue emerged in Android 5.0
ok Google never works for me ever no matter how many times I trained the device how I pronounce it and adding to my disappointment it works great on my friends Nexus 5X, ok m still not sure its only on my device or on all Nexus 6p please comment about regarding it below.
Bend issues as It 1st emerged on iphone 6 Nexus 6p follows its footstep more seriously I suppose and it bends even more easily than any other Aluminium device out there and I have even managed to bend it a bit the day I put it in my back pocket(i totally regret doing that)
Protruding camera this can be different in your case but I totally hate this design and specially because I have shattered the glass housing the rear camera twice(all my fault was it slipped from my hand twice in 3 months) Huawei did you really perform any real world test regarding the durability of device? I doubt it strongly.
no Optical image stabalization common google ur camera app is wierd atleast you could have added this to make things a bit better.
No wireless charging personally I don't want it.
Usb type -c is both a good as well bad since its adaptation ratio has been very slow.
placement of finger print sensor Ok now you are making that strange face wait let me explain it, Suppose you driving your car with your phone placed in a best way in your mobile holder and you want to unlock it with your finger how will you do it? ok one more for you suppose you like to cook and your phone is lying on the slab ur hands are a bit dirty to hold the device up but your thumb and fingers are clean to unlock it and use the device say to see ur recipe- how will you unlock it? so now use your imagination you will get to know why front fingerprint sensor makes sense now.
And latest of all Nexus 6p are reported of having poor quality microphones which result in poor quality of outgoing voice from your device whether its over network or VoIp calls, Now m starting to get why my OK google doesn't work.
Hopefully if you liked this review do share it with your friends and comment below your views on above mentioned issues I would love to hear them and for fanboys please take it lightly.
