As we stated during the introduction, the Nexus 6P is trying to fix the mistakes of its predecessor, the Nexus 6, and it seems to be largely successful in plugging the gaps. While it’s pricing of Rs 39,990 (and Rs 42,990 for the 64 gig model) might seem high, it does seem worthy of that.

As we stated during the introduction, the Nexus 6P is trying to fix the mistakes of its predecessor, the Nexus 6, and it seems to be largely successful in plugging the gaps. While it’s pricing of Rs 39,990 (and Rs 42,990 for the 64 gig model) might seem high, it does seem worthy of that. The Google Nexus 6P gets full marks on most aspects – a premium build, a lovely display, clean and useful software platform, impressive camera quality, and above all, a stellar performance.If you want us to nit-pick though, then its single-SIM support and the limited storage might prove to be deal breakers for some. We also think that the 6P’s productivity quotient could have been upped if Android shipped with options to take advantage of a large screen.The pricing of the Nexus 6P brings it in a unique position – neither it’s in the upper mid-range segment, which sits below Rs 30,000, nor it falls in the uber-premium category where smartphones are priced around half-a-lakh rupees. In both these segments, it has some formidable large-screen options competing against it. The Moto X Style (review) is priced at Rs 29,999, and offers a similar set of features although its processor (Snapdragon 808) is slightly lower than the one fuelling the 6P. In the premium segment, users can check out the king of phablets, the Samsung Galaxy Note5 (review), which although pricey, is a loaded offering. It has better imaging capabilities and is a productivity powerhouse thanks to the S Pen and features like Multi window. You can also take a look at Apple’s latest phablet, the iPhone 6s Plus (review FAQs), although its pricing seems to be quite exorbitant.The Google Nexus 6P ticks most boxes, and if you’re looking for a vanilla Android experience along with the promise of regular updates, then you don’t need to look any further.
