Smart phones are booming and have become our most important intelligent tool. What's more gratifying is that through generations of hardware upgrades and system updates, smart phones have become better and better used, and their running speed, system interface, and functionality have all been in place, improving the user experience everywhere. In the huge Android market, there is a very special series, which comes from Google's own brand - Nexus, and people prefer to call it Google's own son. It is also synonymous with the highest standard of Android series, and has high requirements for workmanship.

Google has not set up its own factory for production, but has given it to every OEM. Previously, HTC and Samsung were selected by Google as the best OEM factory in their heyday, but now the Android market is different from a few years ago, so the latest Nexus has been transferred to Huawei for OEM, It is mainly because Huawei's own series has achieved the best in terms of workmanship, reputation and market sales, so it has handed over the very important Nexus 6P to Huawei. In addition, this generation of Nexus 6P will also carry the latest Android 6.0 operating system, so my son will naturally get the best care, so let me take you to learn about this very interesting new Android king.

The packaging box is very interesting. It should be made of materials I have never met before. It is a little like plastic, but it is not plastic at all. It is like an environmentally friendly paper box, and its texture is a little like plastic.

In addition, there have been rumors that Google will return to the Chinese market. I believe that every user will be very excited because they can use a lot of Google's native things again. To get back to business, let's continue to look at the Nexus 6P polished by Huawei and Google.

The Nexus 6P data and charging interface uses the latest USB Type-C, so the data cable and power adapter also correspondingly transition to the latest USB Type-C. Other accessories include paper materials.

In addition, a total of two data cables were given away, one of which is USB Type-C at both ends, and is always connected to the power adapter and the phone for charging. The other is a shorter USB and a USB Type-C for data transmission.

Although I am not the first time to use Nexus, I was shocked again when I got the Nexus 6P, because my first feeling is that the phone can be made so "round", whether it is the front glass screen or the back metal body, it can be rounded to form, and you can see the feeling of high-end at a glance, which is a little stand out from the crowd. It has to be said that Huawei's current manufacturing process is enough to match any international brand such as Apple and Samsung.

The Nexus 6P has a symmetrical design on the front, and no physical buttons are set. The earpiece speakers are designed in the upper and lower sections. The advantage of this is undoubtedly that the sound quality is better. The sound quality of dual stereo speakers will be greatly improved. The glass panel adopts the fourth generation of Corning Gorilla tempered glass, which will have better strength and scratch resistance.

The upper section is still the key part. It is designed with an 8 million pixel front camera and a light distance sensor, both of which adopt a relatively calm and low-key design style, so it does not damage the overall integrity of the front. Although it is difficult to find new design highlights for Android phones, and it is too easy to be similar, the Nexus 6P is still enough to make me refreshing and looks really stylish.

The size of the Nexus 6P screen is 5.7 inches, and the resolution is up to 2560X1440, which is commonly known as the 2K screen. The pixel density is up to 518ppi, and the screen material is AMOLED. Therefore, this screen is basically the highest end of the current mobile phone. Both the gamut value and the fineness are new benchmarks.

Look at the back. It adopts the same anodized aluminum material as the frame. The camera on the top is decorated with curved glass. In addition, the sandblasting process also makes the texture of the back more strong. In addition, the touch is very comfortable. Just like the advertisement for Dove chocolate, it feels silky. To be honest, there are not many mobile phones with metal bodies, There are few processes like Nexus 6P.

On the top of the fuselage, we can see the logo of HUAWEI. We have to say that Huawei has made rapid progress in recent years, and its good quality is obvious to all. We also hope to make persistent efforts to bring better mobile phones to everyone.

In addition, the Nexus 6P also uses the back mode of the fingerprint sensor. In fact, it prefers the back design, which is more casual than the front thumb sensing. Normally, the phone can be unlocked with the index finger.

The Nexus 6P rear main camera is also very interesting. It uses a 12.3 million pixel photosensitive element with a unit pixel size of 1.55 μ m, aperture f/2.0. In addition to the design of a wide-band dual flash lamp, it also has an IR laser assisted focusing system, which can focus very quickly. Such focusing system can ensure the fastest focusing speed, and can also focus accurately in weak light. Besides 4K (30fps) video recording function, this camera also has 240fps slow motion recording function, which is the first time that Android phones have recorded video at 240fps frame rate since iPhone 6.

The bottom is designed with a built-in antenna, while the top is covered with plastic material, but it also achieves the feel of metal like materials, and it is difficult to feel the color difference, so the integrity of the body is still strong, and it looks very beautiful. In addition, the USB Type-C interface is also designed on this side. The biggest advantage is that the transmission speed is faster, and there is no distinction between the front and the back.

3.5mm audio interface is designed at the top.

The upper left side is designed as a cassette, and the right side is equipped with a power button and a volume+/- integrated button.

In addition, the Nexus 6P only supports a single card and does not use the dual card dual standby scheme.

The Nexus 6P obtained by the author is an international version, which supports a very rich network. Huawei has a very rich experience in the communication field, so it is another highlight in network support. In addition to standard GSM, EDGE, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA, LTE (FDD): B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/917/19/20/28, LTE (TDD): B38/39/40/41 and CDMA: BC0/1， Theoretically, 2G/3G/4G networks of the three major domestic operators are all supported. The advantage of this is that not only the 4G networks of the three major operators can be freely used in China, but also the seamless switching of almost global roaming can be achieved. It is also very convenient for friends who often go abroad.

After looking at the appearance and process design, let's take a look at another very important part - system. The Nexus 6P comes with Google's Android 6.0 Marshmallow native system from the factory. It uses the Material Design style interface. The overall style is not much different from that of 5.0, but it has changed a lot in terms of functions and details. In addition, as Google's own son, it is also one of the first systems to integrate Android 6.0. On the Nexus 6P international version, we also saw more than Google's built-in applications. Combined with the news that Google is about to return to the Chinese market, we hope that we can enjoy these services of Google in the future without going over the wall.

Back to the point, the Nexus 6P uses the native Android 6.0 system and still uses the secondary interface. The main screen is simpler by default, with no too many plug-ins, and only Google's search plug-in by default. The headset page uses a white background color, cancels the paging design, and there is no paging pull mode up and down. In addition, the top four applications are the most commonly used applications. It is also a search function.

In addition, the most interesting feature of Android 6.0 is that when you pick up the phone under the black screen, the screen will automatically light up without any operation, but it is a bit more pressing than normal unlocking. With a pure black background and no background wallpaper, only information such as notice, time and date will be displayed.

The difference between automatic screen lighting (left) and manual screen lighting (right). This small improvement is very practical. Many times we use our mobile phones to check the time or whether there are missing phone calls, text messages and social software messages. Previously, we need to press the power button to see them. Now we just need to pick up the mobile phone.

Look at the pull-down menu, which also has obvious changes. The style is similar to Android 5.0, but there are minor changes in the arrangement. In addition, user management, switching and Do Not Disturb modes have been added. These two points are very interesting. It is more convenient to manage accounts separately. In addition, the Do Not Disturb mode also has a built-in full silence and time-sharing Do Not Disturb mode by default, which is very convenient. You can turn on the Do Not Disturb mode with one button during the night vacation and meetings. Long overdue function, finally built-in.

The gear in the upper right corner of the pull-down menu can quickly enter the comprehensive setting menu, which can also be accessed through the desktop settings. There are more setting options here. You can set the phone case in all directions.

You can still access wallpaper, widgets and setting options by pressing in the blank area of the desktop. In addition, the process management adopts a card type three-dimensional interface, which is more dazzling and more accurate.

In addition, the native system does have a lot of Google's own things, a series of Google applications, browsers, email, maps, stores, Google Play, and so on. But because of some well-known factors, if you want to use these functions, you should climb the wall. In addition, more optimistic, Google may return to the mainland market, and then become more accessible, right, In addition, maybe the Nexus 6P will be more convenient for domestic fans when they travel abroad.

In addition, in the system settings, there are also many functions that I am looking forward to, such as touch payment, which is built into Android Pay by default.

In addition, in the system settings, I also saw the "barrier free" option, including letters, enlarged gestures, high contrast text, etc., which is convenient for many people with disabilities to use. So Android 6.0 also makes me feel intimate.

After looking at the system, let's continue to look at the performance. This generation of Nexus 6P continues the characteristics of high configuration and high performance, and basically represents the benchmark performance of current smart phones. The main configuration adopts Snapdragon 810 processor, Adreno 430 display core, 3GB RAM running memory and 32 64 128GB ROM. In addition, the camera uses 800+12.3 million pixels, and the 3450 mAh lithium battery can also meet the endurance of high-frequency use. On the whole, the Nexus 6P represents the highest performance end of Android at present.

Just when Anthare was updated to version 6.0, the score of Nexus 6P in the test can be seen to have exceeded 8W, which is very powerful. Its performance has been the top of the pyramid.

The GPU core uses Adreno 430, which is also the strongest display core at present. There is no one, which is much better than the previous generation Adreno 330. In addition, Mail-T760, Adreno 420, PowerVR GX6450, etc. are not its competitors. Therefore, for this 2K screen, this level of display core is also required.

3DMark professional test, Ice Storm Unlimited scenario, scored up to 24089, and the other two scenarios overflowed due to high scores.

The Sling Shot using ES3.1 test with higher resolution has a resolution of 2560X1440, which is also a video card score test specifically for 2K screen phones. The score has reached 1430, which is the highest among 2K screen phones. However, the hardware requirements for 2K screen use are not too high. If it is a large 3D game, it is still slightly compact. Even a home PC needs a professional graphics card worth more than 3000 yuan to overcome the 2K screen. Therefore, if we can set the resolution for large-scale 3D games, we might as well set the resolution one level lower to avoid pressure.

Finally, let's take a photo at the moment. The Nexus 6P uses a 12.3 million pixel photosensitive element with a unit pixel size of 1.55 microns, aperture f/2.0. In addition to the design of wide-band dual flash lamps, it also has an IR laser assisted focusing system, which can focus very quickly. The front 800W pixel is also the highest category at present, so such hardware parameters are enough to ensure that the Nexus 6P records the wonderful moments of life.

Let's talk about the Nexus 6P photography experience. The biggest feeling is that focusing is really faster. Laser focusing sounds like a tall feeling, which is finally reflected in the experience that focusing can be carried out very quickly in both strong and weak light environments.

Now let's take a look at the pictures taken by the Nexus 6P. All the original pictures are only reduced in size, without any other processing.

From the pictures above, we can also feel that Nexus 6P is really powerful in taking photos, with extremely high color saturation and flamboyance. It can be said that mobile phone photography is the most powerful one.

Summary:

From the Nexus 6P, we can see the continuation and sublimation of the best genes in this series. As the latest OEM, Huawei has also shown its outstanding skills. We can see the exquisite workmanship on the Nexus 6P that is not inferior to that of Apple. It can be said that the Nexus 6P is the most beautiful and tactile mobile phone among all the mobile phones used by the author in 2015!
