Is the Nexus 6P an iPhone killer?

With the Google smartphone Nexus 6P there is a new challenger for Apple's iPhone 6S Plus. So the phone Huawei has beaten.

What do marshmallows have to do with chocolate? Normally, only a little, if you dive the foam candy in a chocolate fountain, but the new Google phone Nexus 6P with the new version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow There is another less nice connection. The smartphone manufactured by Huawei with its large display does not like it when too much pressure is exerted on the rear. This can lead to so-called Bendgate. In other words, because there is at the level of the circuit breaker in the interior between battery and processor board is a gap, the thin aluminum frame too much pressure can not withstand, so that the smartphone then similarly can break a chocolate bar - as an American product ester impressively proves in an Internet video. What the operator of Jerry Rig Everything but also says: Otherwise, the Nexus 6P is a really successful mobile.

Google brings this year two Nexus smartphones out: The Nexus 5X with 5.2-inch screen and the 6P with massive 5.7-inch display. Nexus devices are always delivered with an unaltered Android. Updates and new features can be provided for these devices without any delays. A real plus. The Nexus 6P with Android 6.0 also shines with very good technique: The eight-core processor brings the applications on their toes, while the battery lasts in video mode almost ten hours and a half days in everyday use by. The screen resolution is much higher than the HD standard and the new 13-megapixel camera also comes with less light along well. The front speakers are surprisingly resonant. Two details make the 6P into something special: The fingerprint sensor on the back works so fast and reliable that the unlock is a pleasure. And with the new USB plug type C, which fits on both sides, charging is accelerated - but only with the right cable.

For an iPhone killer, it is too expensive
Many manufacturers have already tried it, assemble an iPhone killer. With moderate success. Since the introduction of the 6 Series models with larger displays particularly many iPhones are sold. The Nexus 6P is the iPhone also not expire 6s Plus the rank. Not because it may break under unfortunate circumstances or because the built-in technology would be worse. The reason is simple: For a iPhone killer it costs too much. Priced at 700 euros for the model with 64 gigabytes of memory, the distance to comparable iPhone 6s Plus is not big enough and the Samsung Galaxy S6 costs only 550 euros. Our conclusion: The Nexus 6P there is total successful smartphone with extra-large display, with the power of the buyer nothing wrong. The risk of Bendgate is also more theoretical nature. Pejoratively affects therefore mainly the price. We give the new Google phone 7 out of 10 points.
