By now benchmarks score would have flooded the review sites and forums, so i will just leave mine here for reference. Mobile gaming on a daily basis was a lag free affair.
I am quite attached to my phone, clocking almost 4 hours of active screen on time on my device at Max brightness of the screen, in all the phone manages almost 12 hours of usage
i would say that while its not amazing, the overall performance is very decent.
If you have been following my blog, you would have known that the high DXOmobile Score reported was the most enticing thing for me on the Nexus 6P, having own a set now and taking picture with it myself, i would say that it never dissapiont me at all. Low light performace is pretty impressive for a mobile phone. Auto Focus aided by the laser is really quick. There is enough details and sharpness. You may find the image gallery after the break for high res images that are taken using the phone. Below it is a 4K video taken with the phone as well.
In conculsion, I am certainly loving this 1st ever Phablet of mine, Will I reccomand to get this phone ? That's definitely a yes. Tempted? Wait no more Visit http://www.lazada.sg/nexus-6p/ to get your
phone now 64GB is retailing at $949 and 128GB is retailing at $1049, Both come with a free jelly case and in-ear earphones. Stocks are very limited the phones fell short of supply during the pre-order period!
The battery life from my usage
I am quite attached to my phone, clocking almost 4 hours of active screen on time on my device at Max brightness of the screen, in all the phone manages almost 12 hours of usage
i would say that while its not amazing, the overall performance is very decent.
The Supplied adapter is capable of delivering 5V@3A which is 15W. Amphere app reported 2.55A max.
It took around 2 hours for the phone to be fully charged up from a flat battrey
The supplied charger is able to supply up to 5V 3A, while a app based amp meter reported a maxium current of 2.55A.
Theortically at 3A or 3000 mA the phone should go from a flat to full charged in 1.15 hours(Using 3450/3000 & assuming 100% efficency.) However one have to consider the fact that there is always:
- The real world effiency lost
- The several elements which uses the battery as it charges up though its minimal.
- The occasional usage of phone while charging
- The controller which trottles the charge rate to keep the health of the battery in the long run.
- The same controller trottling the charge rate to keep battery from overheating.
Charging the phone with the supplied C to C cable and adapter took around 2 hours(Do note that i flat out the battery till the phone shut off, plug in the cable and it took about a minute before i was able to power on for a screen shot and it was shown to have 3%.)
Colors are vibrant on the 5.7 inches AMOLED but not oversaturated
Screen still look brilliant in outdoors
With QHD Resolution Text look sharp on screen.
Viewing angle is more than sufficent
The Screen on the Nexus 6P is amzing, being AMOLED the colors are vibrant but it ain't oversaturated. Screen manages well under sunlight and the viewing angle is more than sufficent.
Color reproduction IMO is a wee bit warmer on my set but i am comparing it with my U2412M, so you could say that i am nitpicking here. I would still say the color on my Nexus6P is accurate overall.
Nexus 6P is my very first phone with QHD resolution, while i would say for mobile devices QHD is more of a "Want" then a "Need", one would certainly appreciate the extra sharpness of the text when reading articles or forums.
