Here's what I'm saying: the 6P here is the most ambitious and advanced Nexus phone Google has put its stamp on, and it comes closer than previous Nexus devices at meeting and beating premium handsets, big and small - like the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Edge+, Sony Xperia Z5 and Z5 Premium - with its combination of internal performance and relatively low cost. You don't actually need Fi to do that, though, you can seamlessly carrier-hop on your own without Google's specialized SIM card, too. This year's Nexus phones are also compatible with most major carriers, which is terrific, and support Google's own unique Project Fi wireless service - meaning you can switch among carrier plans without swapping your SIM card or phone. (Although I have to say, this breakthrough, while significant for Huawei, is only a passing curiosity for a buyer who's focused on finding the right handset.) It also introduces China-based Huawei, which made the phone, to a whole new audience of people, Google's Nexus fans. It adds a metal frame (a Nexus first!) and a crisp, high-resolution display a spot-on fingerprint reader a capable 12-megapixel camera and strong stereo speakers. (See our pricing chart below.)Īnd then the weighty, 5.7-inch Nexus 6P goes further. Check! (So does the cheaper, smaller LG-made Nexus 5X.) Second, it should package together very capable hardware for a lower sticker price than more familiar brand-name competitors.

First, it's meant to showcase the very newest Android software.

In my mind, there are two things that a Nexus-branded phone is supposed to do, and the Google Nexus 6P does them both very well.
