Google Nexus 6P review

 

Google Nexus 6P review

When Google launched the Nexus 6, it wasn't the upgrade Nexus 5 owners were looking for. The 5.96in screen made the Motorola-built phone too big and heavy. In 2015, Google has decided to adopt Apple's strategy and launch two phones, hopefully appealing to a wider audience. There's the Nexus 5X - the true successor to the Nexus 5, and the Nexus 6P, with a 5.7in screen. We've spent some time with the Huawei-made phone, and here's our Nexus 6P review.

Update: You can get £70 off any model of the 6P from Google's online shop. Also, we've update the camera section comparing the 6P to its latest flagship rivals.

OUR VERDICT

Originally, Nexus phones stood out for being excellent value at a price that was low, but not the lowest. They weren't an alternative to flagship phones, but they had the advantage of running stock Android and getting the next version more quickly. The 6P, though, is not only a flagship, but is arguably the best Android phone to buy at the moment. It won't suit everyone due to its size, nor those looking for a phone with dual-SIM slots or a removable battery. There's no support for wireless charging either. But the excellent screen, front-firing speakers, quick charging, great cameras, speedy performance and Android Marshmallow add up to make this a phone that's a pleasure to use. And yes, it's also cheaper than its rivals, so unless you think it's worth shelling out extra on the Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+ or iPhone 6S Plus, the Nexus 6P is the one to buy.
