In terms of performance, you can expect a solid show from the Nexus 6P.

Unlike the previous model, the upcoming Nexus 6P will feature a smaller 5.7-inch display screen, which kind of conforms to today’s fashion. By the end of this year, Google’s Chromebooks will also achieve a new level of adoption, with more of those devices being used in US schools than any other devices combined.

But Huawei and other Chinese makers have generally lacked the appeal of Apple and Samsung for high-end smartphone customers. Powered by 64-bit SoC, 3GB of RAM, it is highly expected that the Nexus 6P has all the attributes to become a popular choice among mid-range phone buyers. But overall, both the “Motorola Nexus 6” and the “Huawei Nexus 6P” are great phones with the slightest differences. On the front is an 8MP camera, the highest resolution for selfie camera for a Nexus smartphone yet.

The smartphone has a 12.3MP rear camera (1.55micron sensor which captures more light, thus delivering better lowlight photos) that supports 4K recording and can capture videos at 240 frames per second; it is backed by a dual-LED flash. A use-case Google spoke was that Android Sensor Hub will track when you pick up the handset and turn on the ambient display automatically. You can hardly find the difference between the two, though. Six-digit passcode support and two-factor authentication also mean that iOS 9 is no slouch when it comes to privacy and security. The 6P comes in four colors: Aluminium, Graphite, Frost, and Gold-though gold is only available in Japan.

That’s in spite of a considerably lower starting price – £449 for the 32GB model – than the iPhone 6S Plus, which starts at a wince-inducing £619 for 16GB of storage.

It has always been this way anyway, so you better learn to adapt to it. What’s the point of having Google Drive or other cloud storage right? The fact that the Nexus 6P also weighs 14g less than the iPhone 6S Plus, again in spite of its larger screen, is equally impressive. As always, make sure to check the Settings section in About – Check for software updates to ensure that you’re not missing out on any update. “Motorola Nexus 6 2014” features wireless charging while the “Huawei Nexus 6P” do not have this feature. The only downside could be its rather average camera and the unavailability of an expansion slot (if you call that a weakness). As a reminder, here’s what you’ll get for $299 with the Nexus 6 deal mentioned above. Yes, the Nexus 5X is a better phone for you? It will be available in Carbon Black, Quartz White, and Ice Blue.
