Google Nexus 6P, P for Power or Performance

Huawei builds the latest Nexus phone - and the processing of the Chinese put even a gear compared to recent Huawei model, the Mate S, top: The aluminum housing is solid and classy. Gaps and jiggling buttons? None. The mobile phone is quite heavy at 181 grams, is thanks to good balance but the better in your hand. For new Android-6 system, we come later, but the price, we can anticipate at this point. Satte 649 euro calls on Google for the smallest memory variant with 32 GB. Despite the high price even comes with a headset. Who needs 64 GB, will pay 699 euros to pay the 128-gigabyte version will cost 799 euros. So expensive a Nexus device has never been - so good but also not.

Google Nexus 6P, Peak Performance

Huawei equips the Google Nexus 6P from the 8-core processor Snapdragon 810, fired the individual cores with a maximum of 2.0 GHz. The 64-bit system are 3 GB of RAM to the side. Along with the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow puts the Nexus 6P a brisk dance on the dance floor, as we really only know him from the Galaxy S6 models and iPhones. 

The entire system reacts instantaneously, the voice input works without waiting, and Apps start like wildfire. Which brand new features Android 6.0 brings with it, you can read in our large Android-6 Test. By contrast, the fingerprint sensor leaves a mixed impression: Although it makes sense placed and accelerate the unlocking of mobile phones or Pay the Play Store immensely, but Huawei saves the Nexus 6P many cool features that provides the scanner of Mate S.

Google Nexus 6P: Battery-Athlete Thanks Dark Display

The positive impression leads continued in the battery test. The 3,450-mAh power cell seen so persistent that even permanent callers could drop the ear: Satte 10 hours on the phone the Nexus 6P in our test network. Surfing the Internet is an almost identical picture emerges: only after above-average 9:40 hours the screen goes black. Something can benefit the Google phone here by the comparatively low maximum brightness of the 5.7-inch screens: With around 386 cd / m² the display normally, although sufficiently bright, but more difficult to read in bright sunlight than an iPhone 6s or Xperia Z5. 

Contrasts, white point and color space of OLED screens, however, are great. The Focus also leaves nothing to be desired, because the 2,560 x 1,440 pixels provide on the 5.7-inch screen for 518 ppi. When charging Quick Charge ensures short charging times - at least until the battery about three-quarters full. Thereafter, the supercharging efficiency decreases. Google indicates that 10 minutes Charging for 7 hours of battery life to worry.

Google Nexus 6P: Strong Knipse

On the back of the Nexus 6P snaps with 12.3-megapixel resolution, the front has an 8-megapixel cam. Especially the images of the main camera like us in the test particularly well. The daylight shot from the laboratory has a particularly high picture sharpness and forms also details like the hair of the artificial head or the labeling of the pins from still very sharp. The colors appear natural and not too strong. When shooting under low lighting conditions, the sharpness decreases somewhat, but overall is also here a good reception out. In complete darkness, the lighting in any case is satisfactory - but we have brighter flash LEDs in the test had. The camcorder delivers the highest quality clips with 4K resolution (3,820 x 2,160 pixels) and 30 frames per second. Thus, the focus works particularly fast in all shooting modes, Huawei packs a laser autofocus with the Nexus 6P.

Making calls with the Google Nexus 6P

Finally, a few words about the basic disciplines: phone calls left particularly on the mobile side a thoroughly good impression. On the fixed network side here and there disturb the otherwise clear line noise, the speakerphone is fine.


The exchange of data via the data network works thanks to LTE Cat6 particularly quickly. When connecting to a PC you rely on the USB to USB Type-C adapter cable, because the Nexus 6P comes with the new, foolproof USB port, we, among other things from OnePlus 2 and the 12-inch MacBook know.
