Google's Nexus 6p it's one of the first two phones to debut androids latest software and it's the first metal Nexus to ever see the light of day it also has a new fangled type-c charger that you can plug in upside down or right side up loud stereo speakers a 12 megapixel camera that takes some pretty nice shots and a fingerprint scanner on the back oh and it also costs a little less than most premium phones for a lot of comparable features okay let's break some of this down hardware we've got a 5.7 inch aluminum body that slim but dense and just slightly top-heavy for me it's a little clumsy to maneuver and I have to sometimes adjust my grip to reach the fingerprint reader on the back about that the scanner is accurate and holds up to five fingerprints it unlocks the phone to and can authorize payments using android pay it's convenient if you're holding the phone but not if the phone is flat on a table you have to use the backup pin if you don't want to pick it up you can double press the power button to open the camera and the stereo speakers can fill a room with audio there's also a reversible type-c charging port which supports fast charging just make sure you buy extra cables or keep yours with you because your friends probably don't have one yet the 12 megapixel camera uses a Sony sensor and takes nice shots in daylight night and low-light 8 megapixel selfies are pretty good too one complaint is that the photos come out more yellowy than the real world but that's still better than a bluish tint along with the Nexus 5x the 6p is the first phone to debut Android 6.0 marshmallow and that's a big deal or is it Google now on tap which suggests actions and information based on what you're doing is the breakaway feature here but I'm still not convinced it takes a couple seconds to load and the usefulness of the tips is hit or miss I do like being able to ask contextual questions like order her tour dates when looking up a musician it doesn't get in the way and you can still access the typical Google now cards from here there's a lot of competition on the high end but if you love Nexus phones and the less expensive Nexus price the 6p won't disappoint but it is large and dense so fans of smaller phones should also look at the Nexus 5x which comes in at an even lower price I'm Jessica doll court make sure you check out CNN com for even more on the Nexus phones and Android 6 point
