Google has surprised one and all with its new introduction Nexus 6P<\/a>, that\u2019s the first phone made of metal and made by Chinese vendor Huawei. In fact, it\u2019s also first to include both a fingerprint reader as well as Android 6.0 software aka Marshmallow with Google Now on Tap. It has 5.7-inch screen display and the best thing is that the Nexus phones are compatible with all major carriers, as well as Google\u2019s own unique Google-Fi wireless service and then there is an affordable handset insurance plan offering next-day replacement.<\/p>\n

Even the camera quality is quite extraordinary as the 6P\u2019s 12-megepixel camera (powered by a Sony image sensor) takes nice shots in bright daylight and low light. It\u2019s also good performance wise and has good battery life and the Google Imprint fingerprint is praiseworthy.<\/p>\n
