Google Nexus phones are known for being a great combination of software and hardware priced highly competitively enough for the kind of specifications they offer. This makes them highly anticipated critical darlings. With the Google Nexus 6P, the company has decidedly gone a different way, creating a phone that is being referred to as “premium”. The build, the hardware and software are all designed in a way that will make the phone worth its hefty price tag but has the company done enough? Designed by Chinese manufacturers Huawei, the phablet-like Google Nexus 6P might be one of the best top-end Android phones in the market. We went through top reviews to see whether the phone holds up to the hype or not.
Gadgette.com‘s Holly Brockwell is of the belief that the phone is an outstanding effort and shows off Android’s best features. She also likes the fact that the phone has front-facing speakers. Read her full review here.
