The Google-Huawei Nexus 6p is a marvel of speed and makes the new marshmallow come into its own
Of all the smart phones I’ve been reviewing, I’ve found the Nexus 6P to be one of the most enjoyable to use. There was a time when I would have found ‘raw Android’ boring, missing fancy features put in by phone companies. But the interfaces that companies clamp on top of Android slow the phone down and after the novelty wears off, are just in the way of everyday tasks.
The Nexus 6P has no ‘skinning’ on top of Android and no army of unsolicited apps. On top of that, it has a powerful processor and enough RAM. That makes it work ever so cleanly and smoothly. Try browsing, switching from one big app to the other, try swishing around opening and closing things on home screens — it all happens at supersonic speed. I soon began to get a kick out of uninstalling apps because they went away so fast I couldn’t even get to see a progress bar. The otherwise troublesome Snapdragon 810 processor causes no heating on this device. In benchmarks, it’s just below its own cousin, the Huawei Mate 8 and above all the other flagships.
