Motorola nexus 6 American version. USB, Bluetooth, communication capabilities. Communication and sound

From the Nexus 6 generation onwards Motorola line own smartphones from Google has ceased to be popular. Prices have increased, and the characteristics have become truly top-end. There was no return to the old way this time either. New Google The Nexus 6P, whose production was farmed out, received maximum specifications and a flagship price tag.

So, in total there will be three options available, each of which differs in the amount of built-in memory (there is no support for memory cards):

• The 32GB version will cost $499
• 64 GB will cost $549
• the maximum model with 128 GB on board will sell for $649

The price list is relevant, of course, for the US market. And you can buy a new product in the Google Store online store.

The all-metal anodized aluminum body comes in three colors: black, white and silver. With gold, and even more so, with pink color in this case somehow it didn't work out.

The smartphone will be equipped with:

• charger USB device Type-C (5 V, 3 A)
• cable USB power supply Type-C - USB Type-C / USB Type-C - USB Type-A (in the photo below you can see how the wires differ from each other)
• SIM card ejector
• accompanying documents
• And gift card For Google Play Music

It would not hurt if the kit included an additional adapter with latest standard to the usual Micro USB, however, it didn’t work out. It will be supplied as a separate accessory for 14.99 euros.

The most important thing to know about the Nexus 6P is that we're dealing with a large, spade-shaped device.

Some people may not like it, but at this stage It is customary to equip devices with maximum development in terms of characteristics with very large screens.

• AMOLED display with a diagonal of 5.7 inches
• resolution 2560 x 1440 (WQHD)
• dot density 518 ppi
• aspect ratio 16:9

Certainly, protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4 has a high-quality oleophobic coating. By the way, there is a regular, flat glass panel installed here. 2.5D is not fashionable these days, as other Chinese and not so companies do.

Now let's see what hardware Google thinks should be installed in the flagship product. Full specifications Google Nexus 6P look like this:

• CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 (64-bit, 2 GHz)
• Adreno 430 graphics
• RAM 3 GB LPDDR4
• built-in storage 32 / 64 / 128 GB
• battery 3450 mAh (fast charging, at least 1 battery life)
• sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, digital compass, fingerprint scanner, light and distance sensors, Hall sensor, LED event indicator and Android Sensor Hub

Everything is clear with the main characteristics, but it’s worth talking about the Android Sensor Hub in more detail, since this is a relatively new phenomenon for Android smartphones in general and the Nexus series in particular. This hub is a separate chip that has direct access to all sensors of the device. It collects data from them, processes them, and, among other things, is responsible for informing the user about all notifications even when the smartphone display (I remind you, it’s AMOLED) is in energy saving mode. In other words, the co-processor consumes very little energy, but informs the owner about all important events even when the device is in black-and-white dialer mode to save battery.

Wireless capabilities and interfaces:

• LTE Cat. 6 (FDD bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 17, 19, 20, 28; TDD: 32, 39, 40, 41)
• Wi-Fi (802.11 ac) 2.4 and 5 GHz (2x2 MIMO)
• Bluetooth 4.2, NFC
• GPS, GLONASS
• connectors: USB Type-C, one slot for Nano SIM card, audio output 3.5 mm

There are two stereo speakers located on the front panel, as well as three microphones, two of which are located in the front and one in the back. The noise reduction function is, of course, in place.

Of course, an important component of any modern smartphone is cameras. The Google Nexus 6P has an 8-megapixel sensor on the front with the following parameters:

• f/2.4 aperture
• single pixel size 1.4 microns
• HD video recording at 30 fps

The main camera has 12.3 megapixels, and each individual point has an increased size of 1.55 microns. Filming will be controlled by our own Google app Camera.

• f/2.0 aperture
• infrared focusing
• 4K video recording at 30 fps
• dual LED flash CRI-90

This whole miracle works right out of the box on latest version OS Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The tasty treat, of course, will be updated as new builds are released to the public.

Huawei Nexus 6P is the product of a joint effort between two giants, Huawei and Google. This is a truly flagship smartphone with the latest software. It is worth noting that the gadget was announced by two companies in September 2015.

Appearance and ergonomics

The design of the Huawei Nexus 6P evokes a positive impression thanks to its high-quality aluminum body. The front side is covered with Gorilla Glass 4, and the speakers are located at the bottom and top. The most interesting thing can be found on the back cover, which is made of metal. There is not only a fingerprint scanner, but also a convex block with a camera and flash. Moreover, it is covered with glossy glass, which looks impressive. On bottom end There is a USB Type-C port. The device is very thin, looks elegant and stylish. The huge screen does not greatly affect the ergonomics, since using the smartphone is quite comfortable. Dimensions of Nexus 6P: height - 159.3 mm, thickness - 7.3 mm, width - 77.8 mm, weight - 178 g. Body colors - black, gold, silver and white.

Display

The Nexus 6P has a 5.7-inch 2K screen. Used AMOLED matrix, which is characterized by an incredibly rich color palette. The increased display resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels makes the picture stunningly detailed. The image remains very rich in any conditions. Perhaps the engineers even overdid it by making the screen extremely contrasty.

Hardware and performance

A flagship smartphone needs an appropriate processor. Therefore, Huawei Nexus 6P is equipped with a Snapdragon 810 chip. This is an eight-core solution with maximum frequency 2000 MHz. It is worth highlighting the Adreno 430 graphics accelerator, as well as 3 GB of RAM. But with internal storage problems may arise, since its volume is strictly limited. This means that there is no way to connect memory cards. There are device models with 32, 128 or 64 GB of built-in storage.

There are simply no hints of brakes. The Internet and various applications operate smoothly and quickly. Modern games show excellent results in terms of performance even at extreme graphic settings. At the same time, in AnTuTu 6.0, the Huawei Nexus 6P scores approximately 80,000 points. It is important that there are no hints of overheating, which the Snapdragon 810 has always been famous for. Since the device is directly related to Google, software support for the smartphone is provided. Out of the box, the user is greeted with “naked” Android 6.0, which is still constantly updated to the latest version.

Communication and sound

The multimedia stereo speaker of the Nexus 6P sounds with a solid volume reserve. Only at extreme values ​​can wheezing be heard. TO conversational dynamics There can be no complaints, you can hear your interlocutor perfectly. This gadget supports LTE Cat 6 networks, so you can count on fast Internet.

Camera

Thanks to an advanced 12-megapixel camera with laser focus and dual flash, the Nexus 6P captures videos and photos simply beautifully. This is largely due to the large pixels, which absorb light much more efficiently. Excellent white balance and gorgeous detail are immediately visible in pictures in any conditions. The HDR+ mode also shows itself qualitatively, working very quickly here. A nice addition is the ability to shoot videos in 4K resolution and with advanced sound. Kind words The 8-megapixel front camera, which can take good self-portraits even indoors, also deserves it.

conclusions

The cheapest version of Huawei Nexus 6P costs between $400-450. Is a smartphone worth the money? Everyone will have their own answer, but given the powerful hardware and always-fresh Android, this is a pretty fair price. The device also has an attractive design, which could not be said about previous devices in this series. Included with the smartphone you can only find a cable and a charger.

Pros:

• Solid performance.
• Extremely juicy display.
• Wonderful camera.
• Attractive and stylish design.
• Clean Android with the latest updates.

Minuses:

• There is no slot for memory cards.
• The dimensions of a smartphone are not suitable for everyone.

Video reviews

Welcome to the official website of the Arstayl Youtube channel! Today we are testing the 6th generation of Google Phone.

Having announced the Nexus 9 tablet and the flagship smartphone (in fact, a phablet) Nexus 6 on October 15, 2014, Google set a new price bar for itself - after all, the devices are no longer cheap. Nexus 6 is not the successor to LG Nexus 5, it is a device in a new segment for Google - the phablet (large phone) segment. Accordingly, we will consider the Nexus 6 as a separate product and are not going to compare it with the LG Nexus 5. Let's get started with the review!

Equipment.

Typically for Nexus series devices, there is nothing interesting in the package: charging block at 2A with support fast charging(supports Qualcomm technology Quick Charge 2.0), a USB cable, as well as documentation and a SIM injector (we didn’t have it in the kit). Yes, in fact, it’s a little unpleasant that the kit doesn’t include any additional goodies, because many manufacturers include interesting things in the kit with expensive devices.

Design, quality of materials and workmanship.

New smartphone a series Nexus unique to the line Google devices. It was made by the legendary Motorola, it features an impressive 6-inch AMOLED display and top-end specs, and is also expensive compared to its predecessors at the time of their release. Is the daring newcomer worth the money, does it have Motorola's signature charm and reliability, is it really new flagship all Android? Let's figure it out together.

Reference Android flagship

For a long time, Google has taught us that its series of devices Nexus are one of the best on the market in terms of price/quality ratio. In fact, the company offered excellent gadgets at a minimal markup, which spoiled the lives of many of its partners, who demanded much more money for the same characteristics in their smartphones and tablets. The only unpleasant limitation was the lack of a slot for microSD cards with a very modest amount of built-in flash memory by modern standards, but it’s a small price to pay for savings of $150–300. Against this background, the release Nexus 6 for $650–700 in American retail it came out like a bolt from the blue. " The ball is over“, - lovers of reference Android smartphones cried out and, just in case, wiped theirs with a cloth, the upgrade of which many postponed until better times.

At the same time, Nexus 6 aroused genuine interest among both fans and those who had long planned to try Android as an alternative to iOS, but did not want to find themselves in a situation where their device turns into a “pumpkin” in a year due to the manufacturer’s reluctance to spend money on software support supposedly outdated product. Adherents of “Robot” will boldly say that we can manage without the support of the manufacturer, because XDA-Developers There are plenty of enthusiasts creating alternative firmware, including options based on the latest Android builds.

They are partly right, but not everyone is eager to deal with unlocking the bootloader and then tinkering with alternative software, reinstalling and configuring personal software, etc. I say this as a person who has done this himself more than once. After iOS with its ideal backup system, there is little joy in dancing with a tambourine over Android.

Against this background, a ruler Nexus devices is an excellent option for those who want to look into the world of the “Green Robot” - for 2–3 years you will be provided with software Google support and are deprived of the dubious joy of manually flashing a gadget. All updates quickly arrive “over the air” and in 99% of cases are installed without special problems and complaints. Checked this on personal experience as the owner (or rather, my wife has owned it for the last year and a half, but I update it programmatically). It still works like a charm, and during this time it has managed to be updated 10 times over the air, including the transition from Android 4.x to Android 5.x.

Thus, by purchasing a Nexus 6, you can safely count on the fact that in the next couple of years you will be provided with the best software support for a device on the Android market.

Motorola knows how to design

If the situation with software for Nexus devices is excellent, then in terms of design and case materials one can argue. Remember HTC's Nexus One - it was beautiful with its aluminum frame and soft-touch plastic inserts.

And then Samsung got down to business, and for two years I had to make do with not very attractive and not the most practical glossy plastic “soaps”. It's not that they were bad, but rather boring.

To sum up the screen, I will say this: it is good, very clear, has excellent contrast, produces bright and rich colors and has a slight shift towards warm shades, which can be adjusted if desired.

The smartphone is based on a 4-core single-chip system Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with a frequency of 2.7 GHz, complemented by a very powerful GPU Adreno 420, 3 GB random access memory and 32 or 64 GB of flash memory. Currently, this is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market both in terms of computing power, and graphic. I checked the processor performance using a test Geekbench 3, comparing it with the result of the no less flagship iPhone 6 Plus:

In single-core mode, the iPhone won, in multi-core mode - the Nexus 6. Let's consider this parity. It is clear that synthetic tests do not always reflect reality and how the device behaves in reality, but they provide an opportunity to roughly compare it with its competitors. Below is a graph of the performance of video chips: PowerVR GX6450 is installed in the iPhone 6 Plus, Adreno 420 is installed in the Nexus 6, plus for comparison, data from the previous generation GPU is shown (PowerVR GX6430 is used in the Apple A7 SoC, that is, in the iPhone 5s, iPad Air and iPad mini 2Gen, Adreno 330 in SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, example of smartphones based on it - OnePlus One, LG G3, Sony Xperia Z3, Motorola Moto X 2014):

The reference Google Phone turned out to be better in numbers, although in reality its GPU has to work at a higher resolution, so in the end we will have approximate parity. About real gaming performance We'll talk a little later, but for now let's get back to the Nexus 6's hardware.

The phone is equipped with a 13 megapixel camera Sony IMX 214 with an optical image stabilization system, f/2.0 aperture and dual flash built into a transparent ring around the photo module. At the time of the announcement, it seemed to me that this entire ring would glow, but in fact there is no light diffuser there - only two LEDs at the edges of the lens glow:

The quality of the pictures is ordinary, without any frills or any WOW effect. In my unprofessional opinion, the iPhone 6 Plus takes better pictures with its 8-megapixel module, the photos are more detailed and rich. I’ll talk about this in a little more detail in a separate article on the topic of comparing the mentioned smartphones, but for now I’ll give examples of photos taken in automatic mode(clickable):

Nexus 6

iPhone 6 Plus

The Nexus 6 is capable of recording video in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second (1080p and 720p options are also available). The quality is quite up to par, no complaints. The picture is quite detailed, colorful, and you can feel the work of the optical stabilizer.

The 2-megapixel front camera of the Google Phone is capable of recording video in 1080p resolution and allows you to take very high-quality selfies. For Skype, its capabilities are definitely enough:

Clickable

And the built-in flash can be used as a flashlight (very bright) without installation third party software- just gesture to pull out the options curtain and click on the corresponding panel.

The wireless capabilities of the Nexus 6 are almost maximum, the only thing missing is the IR blaster that they like to insert into their Samsung devices and Sony. The phone can work in GSM networks 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, HSDPA 800/850/1700/1900/2100/900 MHz, LTE 700/800/900/1800/2100/2600/850/2500 MHz and supports data transmission according to GPRS/EDGE standards, WCDMA and LTE (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 19, 20, 28, 41). That is, in Russia the smartphone has no problems with LTE.

Dual band Wi-Fi module 802.11a/b/g/n/ac with Wi-Fi support Direct, DLNA and Wi-Fi hotspot performed well both in the 2-GHz range and in the 5-GHz range. GPS+GLONASS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.1 - it's all there, plus support for contactless charging.

The device is powered by a battery with a capacity 3220 mAh, which looks poor compared to such 6-inch smartphones as Huawei Mate 7 and Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro with 4000 mAh batteries. But the main thing is not the numbers, but how the device works, which we will discuss below. In addition, it supports fast charging mode and from the included charger the battery completely restores its energy reserve in less than two hours.

Impressions from the Nexus 6

What impressions of a reference Android device might an adherent and user of the ecosystem have and Apple gadgets? Yes, the most objective ones. I have never closed myself off from everything new and alternative, having started mastering Robot back in 2010. Since then, I almost always use some Android gadget in parallel with my iPhone. By the way, it's been a couple of weeks now favorite iPhone The 6 Plus lies on the shelf, and its place has been taken by the OnePlus One in conjunction with. I really liked the experience of working with smart watches, and while waiting I decided to conduct such an experiment with a temporary move to Android.

Although during the operation of the Nexus 6, the Apple tablet also returned to service as a comparison sample (there will be a separate article about this), but, as you understand, I already had everything ready for full-fledged work with a reference Android smartphone: the software is prepared, a set of books, films and music is formed, phone book successfully imported from iCloud to account Gmail - all you had to do was install applications and transfer media content to the gadget’s memory. By the way, with the massive transition of Android smartphones to the MTP protocol (Media Transfer Protocol) Mac users have difficulties writing files to the phone's memory via a cord (OS X simply does not see the connected storage), but they are easily solved by installing the Android File Transfer application.

So, the software is installed, the data is transferred, the SIM card is inserted - you can get to work. My first impression is that the Nexus 6 is not as big or big as I expected. Yes, this is a really respectable shovel, but thanks to the shape of the body with thin edges, a convex back and rubberized plastic on the back, it is comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand and even scrollable with one hand. What's most surprising is that it's more convenient to do than on the iPhone 6 Plus. By the way, the devices are identical in height, but the Nexus 6 is a little wider and at the same time it does not try to slip out of your fingers when you hold it with one hand and try to do something on the screen with it.

I liked the quality of the smartphone in its telephone form. A very loud and bassy ringing speaker and noticeable vibration - you definitely won’t miss a call. The voice speaker also pleased me with sufficient volume, and the microphones worked as they should - the interlocutor heard me clearly, including the moments when I was on a noisy city street. It’s convenient to hold the device in your hand during a conversation, but the fact that it’s a “shovel” doesn’t bother me personally - it looks good in any case:

It has already been written about the camera above - it records excellent video (but with mono sound), it takes ordinary photos, without any frills or any revelations, at the level of other Android smartphones with a similar sensor. They seem somewhat faded and dark to me, with a lilac tint. I like the result of the iPhone 6 Plus better, although some will say that it goes more into warm shades. This is a matter of taste, but in any case there are no complaints about the camera.

By the way, in addition to the usual panorama, there is also support for a spherical panorama, plus an HDR+ mode, which I didn’t see much benefit from. I remember how, at the time of its release, Nexus 5 upset people with its weak camera, and then Google did some kind of technical shamanism and taught it to take beautiful photographs, especially in low light conditions. Maybe they’ll do something similar with the camera in the Nexus 6, plus there’s a ton on Google Play alternative applications and photo enhancers.

The display is frankly yellow, which is only noticeable when directly compared with the iPhone 6 Plus (which, to be honest, also produces a rather “warm” picture) or OnePlus One. Again, the gamma can be adjusted using third-party tools if you don’t like the result out of the box. But its colors are very rich, the contrast is excellent, and watching videos is a real pleasure. The screen size for this is exactly the right size. 5.5 inches is a little not enough for an equally comfortable experience of watching movies on the road. On the other hand, when you don't have a 6-inch shovel in your hand for direct comparison, then 5.5 inches is enough.

I would like to note that it is very comfortable to work with the phone in the dark - almost minimum level In this case, the brightness does not hurt the eyes, and if you set it to very minimal, dragging the slider as far as possible to the left, then the picture will suddenly become pink tint. This is not a glitch or technical problem, it’s just that the settings allow you to reduce the brightness below a certain threshold, after which, as I assume, some of the subpixels in the AMOLED matrix are simply turned off. In this case, this threshold is 0.9 cd/m2, while in Galaxy Note 4 with an AMOLED screen, the minimum brightness threshold remains at 2 cd/m2 and no such effect is observed there:

The Nexus 6 screen (right) turned pink when minimum brightness. Source: Ars Technica

Pay attention to such an option as “ Adaptive brightness control"in Android 5. It differs from traditional auto-brightness (where there is no manual adjustment) in that you can adjust the screen brightness level with a slider in the toolbar, selecting your comfortable level for the current ambient light, after which it will perform automatic adjustment, depending on the change external conditions, but taking into account your installation. By the way, in iOS similar system implemented since version 6, if my memory serves me correctly:

The acoustic capabilities of the built-in audio chip and amplifier are not amazing, and they hardly drive 32-ohm speakers. The volume is just enough and I even want to add a little more. I can say the same about OnePlus One, although in its case the volume is still sufficient, and the iPhone 6 Plus handles these headphones effortlessly.

As for autonomy, the Nexus 6 does not particularly stand out among its competitors in this regard, and it will easily work for a day in mixed mode, and the charge will remain. On the first day of testing, the device lasted from early morning until late at night and there was still about 15% charge left, but it was a day of active testing of the gadget's capabilities - installing software, toys, videos, web surfing, reading, etc. Motorola itself promises day of operation of Nexus 6 with active use of the device. If you like to play games, then you should expect about 5-6 hours of continuous entertainment (depending on the brightness of the display).

By the way, about games - this is probably the first Android smartphone that I have ever owned that really copes well with toys and works at the level of Apple's flagships.

It is also worth raising the issue of low performance disk subsystem Nexus 6, which has recently been actively discussed on the Internet on thematic forums. People discovered that in some places the flash memory of the new product works in read and write mode even slower than the Nexus 5. This does not affect the speed of applications, but it does affect their launch speed. YouTube is full of video comparisons where some programs on the predecessor start faster than on the flagship.

Well, the tests don’t lie, and the Nexus 6 really doesn’t have very high performance in reading and writing operations on flash memory, for which there are reasons, although in actual use of the device I personally didn’t notice any special problems with the performance of the disk subsystem. Moreover, lovers of “sewing” and experiments can speed up the device significantly.

As it turned out, the whole point is in the option enabled by default Full Disk Encryption(FDE) - that is, the smartphone encrypts the data on the drive in real time. Something is written to it - it is encrypted on the fly. Something is read - it is also decrypted on the fly, and the key is the set password. But even if the gadget is not password protected, the encryption system still works and still affects the performance of the disk subsystem. This issue was examined in detail by specialists from AnandTech. There are also examples of what a gadget with a disabled coding system is capable of - performance increases significantly, and Nexus 6 begins to surpass its predecessor and most others in all respects modern smartphones Same.

The problem is that while it is impossible to disable encryption using built-in tools, you have to come up with workarounds. One of the options for strong-willed and courageous citizens is described on AndroidXDA (here is another alternative with video instructions).

I will also mention the presence of water protection in the device, but Motorola does not specify what class it is. Most likely, we are talking about splash protection, since the power connector is open.

Another useful and unique option is Ambient Display. It takes advantage of AMOLED's ability to activate only certain pixels and features such as minimal power consumption in monochrome mode. It works like this: as soon as you pick up the phone, a clock and notifications appear on the screen in black and white. That is, without pressing anything, they simply took the device from the table or took it out of their pocket and immediately determined whether it was worth unlocking it and reading some important messages, and at the same time they found out the time. In the same way, the screen can be activated when new notifications arrive. The most important thing is that Ambient Display has virtually no effect on the autonomy of the gadget.

Bottom line

The Nexus 6 has interested me since its announcement. I wanted to purchase the device as soon as it went on sale and provide for myself for a couple of years alternative gadget for experiments and work. But then the first samples got to foreign journalists, and cries were heard about poor autonomy, strange performance of the disk subsystem and other nuances, such as warm color range display. I tensed up and, deciding not to take risks during the economic crisis, limited myself to the relatively inexpensive OnePlus One. But, having worked with the Nexus 6 personally, I once again realized that it is necessary to judge the gadget only after getting to know it for yourself.

It turned out that the Nexus 6 has no problems with autonomy, the performance of the disk subsystem is more than enough and, if desired, it can be increased, and the display gamma can be adjusted, albeit by third-party means. In terms of operating speed, the device is excellent, and for toy lovers it is strictly recommended for use. Add here an excellent design, a high-quality, monolithic body and the best software support on the Android market.

Yes, we are accustomed to the fact that Google's reference gadgets are cheap, but the company's policy has changed, and so has the hardware inside the devices. Nexus 6 has top-end characteristics and will be relevant for at least a couple of years. It costs money comparable to its competitors, although the device’s software support is better and more responsive. Also, don't forget about the popularity of Nexus and a huge number all kinds of alternative firmware if you want adventure. Take, for example, the same CyanogenMod 12 - there are already working builds for the device in question.

Do you want to experience Android without unnecessary fuss and do you prefer large smartphones? Nexus 6 is an excellent choice and worthy alternative iPhone 6 Plus. It is also good for lovers of software adventures and sewing. Well, if you are confused by the lack of a microSD card slot, do not forget about USB OTG support. That is, you can connect any external storage through a simple adapter.

Nexus 6 is a good, albeit unusually expensive tablet phone for the Nexus line, with excellent software support and a number of unique features. I strongly recommend it, and if you want a similar gadget, but more compact, then pay attention to the Motorola Moto X 2 (2014 model, slightly weaker in terms of characteristics - built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC) or Droid Turbo (almost a copy in terms of characteristics, but with a 5.2-inch display with a record pixel density of 565 ppi).

The new Google Phone, Nexus 6, a reference smartphone from Google and Motorola, has a solid 6-inch display with QHD resolution. Even before the announcement, it was clear that another representative“pure” smartphone manufacturing according to the canons of Google is doomed to become a cult, because the top hardware from Qualcomm - Snapdragon 805 - and the strict features of the updated OS Android versions L is exactly what most people expect from the search giant in this area.

Although Google already stopped software support for Nexus 6 and Nexus 5X; thanks to the efforts of enthusiasts, many unofficial firmwares are still being released for them. Now, thanks to the efforts of developers from the XDA team, the latest build 9.0 Pie has become available to the owners of these smartphones - albeit unofficially.

Google employees introduced the Nexus 6 in October 2014. The smartphone received a six-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, a 13-megapixel camera, 3 GB of RAM and Snapdragon 805. Three years ago, the device came out with Android 5.0 on board. Today, the company's developers released a revised Android 7.1.1.

Final Android build 7.0 Nougat arrived more than two weeks ago, but not all Nexus devices, let alone all others, have access to the update. This year, “Good Corporation” deprived the Nexus 9 smartphone and tablet, vowing to “roll out” the update over the next few weeks. Shall we believe it?

In addition to the new features and 6P, which include a Nexus Imprint fingerprint scanner and a USB Type-C port, the new devices have corrected those qualities that made the Nexus 6 unattractive. WITH Google company can not only attract new users to their phones, but also attract back existing ones who liked the Nexus 5, but did not show interest in the Nexus 6.
