hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room this has to be one of the most anticipated reviews one of the most requested reviews for me at the end of this year Google has returned with the Nexus lineup of phones with a 6p model I have here offering some very impressive specs yet for a very attractive price as of this video they're suggested retail figures are on your screen and when compared to the competition pricing alone fares pretty well and as a reference I personally paid for this here and we'll be showing the graphite model coming in at 64 gigs of internal storage so with this video I want to discuss what I found both lighted disliked and how the average consumer would feel coming to a nexus for the first time so without further ado my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room welcome everyone to another review since owning a nexus I really came to the conclusion Nexus is all about simplicity clean lines and just focusing on what works at least with the 6p there's no fuss no special back plates just a pure simple yet solid aluminium build in the rear and Gorilla Glass 4 on the front now comparing size and weight we're looking at numbers very close to all other flexib phones in the markets offered one of the thinnest phones out there at seven point three millimeters despite feeling great and unobtrusive in the pockets the thinness and smooth aluminium back did cause the phone to feel quite slippery for my tastes having me consider purchasing a skin or a low profile case it's just a heads up on that quickly looking at the front I'm sure many reviewers have said that these are some of the best speakers they've heard on a phone and for those who do file on my channel I do a lot of audio reviews as well the quality sounds similar to any other flagship phone but in a big but the placement in the front and having two speakers that's greatly help with your immersion into the music the speakers aren't there to offer virtual surround sound and indeed there is a much sound separation or fidelity but this offers more full sound to the ears direct sound instead of down firing or covered by your palm because so the speaker placement is what really shines in my opinion making for one of the much better audio experiences compared to the competition looking closer and moving around the physical phone the edges are beveled and like most aluminum devices they do show a parent Nick's over time but having the 6p as my everyday work phone and putting it through its paces has shown no signs of wear or scratches and the front rear and especially on a transparent bezel on the back going around the entire phone the top has your 3.5 millimeter headphone port on the sides has your power button and two taps on here will open your camera very fast even if your screen is off and locked vayan rocker buttons are directly below and looking on the bottom is the latest and greatest USB type-c connection and I won't go into too much detail but for the average consumer who are not aware there are promises of this connection offering to send and receive power more power that is than previous USB types a connection that can go in either way no more guessing who which way is up and lasts for the average consumer you are future proofing yourself as you'll see this connection more so in 2016 and on the support does offer rapid charging and it does work fantastic however despite being USB type-c the fast charging who worked as fast as my personal test with the LG v10 and the newest Samsung s6 edge+ resulting in an hour and 30 minutes from a 1% battery remaining level again very impressive but I was hoping for a faster charge since type C has been receiving much praise about its potential power transfer abilities in addition there are a few things that needs to be mentioned as well and this is no way of me bashing the 6p but information some consumers are aware although while Qualcomm processor is installed in this and Qualcomm chipsets are the ones that offers the quick charging ability if you already own a quick charging wall adapter they will not work here all of the six p m-- a display rapid charge being on the amount of power being pushed to the phone is not equivalent to the supplied wall adapter from Google and in hindsight now many people have USB type-c cables linked around so buying a few new bars is recommended for the car or maybe one for your workplace now I ran into this hurdle several times second type C is capable of offering speeds up to 10 gigabytes per second and is backwards compatible but for my tests and doing some research online the Nexus 6p is only capable of moving data at USB 2.0 speeds as my video is demonstrating although I have the wire connected to a super speed USB 3.0 port in the end the new port does make it future-proof but its performance is really identical to other phones out there not saying it's bad but to the average consumer hearing that this is having a new as the latest and greatest technology they honestly thought that there was something maybe better better performance that is at least I thought so but getting back to the physical phone I gotta say I am used to having the volume and power buttons higher on most other devices and a month into using the 6p I'm still accidentally bumping the volume and power buns when I'm grabbing my phone especially if I'm running for exercising I'm just essentially holding the main and traditional grabbing areas which is right in the middle now rotating to the rear recessed in is the fastest fingerprint scanner that I've ever used at something so small and so little but the difference in speed is actually noticeable you don't need to turn on your screen first to unlock your phone you just simply tap and briefly hold and it works with an extremely high success rate above that then going into detail about the camera it's a twelve point three megapixel that shoots in a four by three aspect ratio and if we prefer the wider sixteen by nine this is limited to eight point three megapixels instead so just a heads up on that a infrared laser assisted autofocus works very fast here dual LEDs to help light up the area and a 2.0 f-stop rounds out the basic specs now what I have on screen is not a direct comparison with the v10 from LG but something to engage your heavy reference point all photos have been rotated ever so slightly to align with each other but everything else like color brightness etc are unedited that didn't touch them overall I'm very impressed and this is hands-down one of the best performing cameras I've used it's sharp its saturated very similar to these Samsung Galaxy phones I've tested and the camera works very fast the 6p does a great job at differentiating and managing white balance on this cloudy day you can see the wooden table and the nap and you can see all the details in there and how well the NEX is preserved what the scene looked like in person not an easy task inserting the camera has to bounce the cool white and gloomy day from the outside from the windows here with the warmer tones indoors looking at the dishes the warm halogen bulbs in store did cast a more yellow tint or tone to the dinnerware yet in general the Nexus was still be more accurate performer on what this looked like in person and then here one last daytime photo although on a cloudy day the details and richness are present but it did notice some shots would be a little too dark and having a slight increase in brightness would have performed a little bit better but overall look at the glass in the walkway and on the buildings there's simply glassy and crispy to look at regarding low-light shocked this performed like a beast here's some moderate low light with light only coming in from that one window here to the left with the LG phone it's at ISO level 50 very low but you see some blown out highlights on forehead and note with the Nexus this does a phenomenal job of preserving shadow details retaining sharpness and the ISO levels are actually higher at 250 both images were taken within five seconds of each other so lighting wasn't changed that much or at all and Lassen the worst letting that I had here obviously noise is introduced obviously not a clear photo to print unto a Christmas card or so but I'm still impressed there's not much more noise that is this was at a crazy high ISO of 2300 a challenge for any regular camera not just smartphones now regarding camera features smart burst is new to the scene taking the traditional burst mode in one step further holding down your shutter button will allow your phone to continuously take snapping photos and the Nexus will automatically review and choose what it thinks the best 8 are you can see on the bottom of the screen there selecting the best 8 in real time that's a great feature so you don't have to sift through 20-plus photos or so and find the best one yourself and surprisingly it works very well and you can always turn this feature off and have 40 plus photos or so taken in one burst shot no other features which are is pretty standard here are photosphere to make it 3 like image of your room panorama shots and last is lens blur which I thought was totally cool allowing you to take shots like this here pretty much standard and then make it into this giving it a much more blurry background having a sensor image be your focal point regarding video recording this can record up to 4k at 30 frames per second there is some stabilization implemented but this thing needs true optical image stabilization Nexus did it implement this at all shakiness was indeed abundant as you can see in the video but despite this nausea-inducing image the video quote in regards to colors brightness sharpness did very well and sorry if I didn't make anyone dizzy here and lastly camera is capable of doing up to 240 frames per second at a max resolution of 720p there the price of considering the Nexus phone is somewhat in the budget price category so enough about cameras and video let's talk about the display we'll get into the performance very shortly Nexus is offering a high-density 5.7 inch screen with a quad HD resolution featuring AMOLED technology colors do pop in like the photos it takes colors are saturated enough to give some colorization to the skin and make the overall experience for the average consumer enjoyable for those who are a bit more technical AMOLED does provide very deep blacks but the whites have just a slight yellow tint from my personal experience and if I were to do a red color test not sure how this might look on camera here but in person the Nexus does have a slight orange tone and lasted over I noticed the nexus screen was not as bright as say these Samsung s6 edge+ or the v10 that I've tested in the past but again if you're not comparing phones side-by-side the screen is still a pleasure to look at moving on to performance out there are some specs on the screen real quick for you guys but under heavy use of apps and multitasking this thing runs perfectly fine with barely any lag or stutters whatsoever the phone does heat up like any other phone so nothing's really out the norm and performance does remain relatively the same this one's almost flawless from opening the camera transitioning to the photo viewer and jumping into any other app here which I found some phones would struggle with swiping the main screen left and right repeatedly this transitions with no effects here even with tons of apps being open and loaded running the latest games this does warm up a bit here who like most phones again but I didn't notice anything out the Normand everything is still running smooth and I'm surprised that Nexus still performs as well as it did considering the 6p has three gigs of ram versus four that some other flagships aren't coming with but besides performance this software side of things are as important one of the biggest benefits of buying an Nexus phone you do receive any updates from Android first while other manufacturers may reluctantly wait months before updating as of this video we're running Android 6.0 or basically android marshmallow and some new features give some substantial benefits first one up here is google and tap offering additional information on any screen when you hold down the home button whether you're a text messaging looking up a YouTube video Google will try to find some kind of relevant information if you're talking with a friend let's say about Star Wars all done that home button give it a few seconds and you're presented with some movie information and links to more news images etc I found this works more so for general enquiries with times it just simply doesn't provide any useful information at all an example looking at Google Maps and finding your go-to place I was hoping using on tap would read the screen and pop up several cars with places that it can identify and turn providing a phone number or maybe what time the store or restaurant opens and closes however if you did do a normal Google search and then used an tap then the Google Maps will basically show you more information now a useful feature but I think at the time this video is not light upon feature just yet another new addition that is highly anticipated is called doze this comes standard with Android 6.0 and works right away behind the scenes without you needing to turn anything on from here when your phone is laying on a table screen off and you're not moving it for example when you're asleep doze will put nearly everything to sleep specifically apps you'll still get notified when high priority apps needs to alert you like phone calls or text messages in turn this essentially saving your battery life when your phone is not in action doze is essentially a power management tool that works in the background with my personal tests and granted I've had the phone for a little over a month now so most of the apps I personally use are on the phone instead of a clean slate when I just brought it home and I think which would be a more accurate representation of what consumers will face down the road now right before sleeping I did record 94% remaining at 12:55 a.m. I know I've been working a little bit late recently the following morning and as soon as I woke up I recorded the video as proof at 7:35 a.m. battery has dropped by 10 to 84 percent in total and just leaving my video playing here I'm showing evidence or proof that literally all my apps except for two here for some other reason are tagged as battery optimized enabling those to have the apps fall asleep during times of not movement and although reading a lot of praise for those and many articles saying it really works I was expecting a bit more better savings from my own personal use and I did you do drain much less when the phone is new and has less apps but in my defense with nearly every one of my personal apps having gos enabled I would have thought regardless what app I have installed those would have been more effective again this is just my experience in my video as proof of what's going on I do actually want this to work and keep in mind my personal screen on time still has been considered as very good for a large screen high resolution phone at three to five hours or more at times better life is still great in my opinion on the Nexus 6p so over offer my experience for the average consumer there are some shortcomings which I would consider as minor and they're only shortcomings because they're trying to achieve something greater it's not that the phone is buggy or anything negative that is not working but the parts that matter most like build quality super responsive performance in nearly every aspect both physical and software and at that price point it's crazy good really makes the Nexus as a great alternative for those who are already owning Nexus phone or fans of Nexus phones they will not be disappointed if you decide to upgrade this is the best nexus film to date so how this review helped you in some way as
