◆ Nexus 6P
Nexus 6P is a rounded case.


The letter "P". This is the initial letter of "Premium (high quality / high quality)".


Nexus 6P appears when opening a plastic case.


The contents included Nexus 6P main body, AC adapter, 2 kinds of USB cable (A - C type, C - C type), simplified manual and pin for SIM slot.


The AC adapter is Type-C type.


Nexus 6P has been designed to reproduce the protruding camera part.


Nexus 6P is equipped with a 5.7 inch WQHD (2560 × 1440) organic EL display. There is a feature that fingerprints are difficult to attach with an oil repellent coating.


Take this like this. As a smartphone it's a bit bigger so-called "Fabret", but it's not as hard to hold as a typical 6-inch smartphone.


8 megapixel front camera and speaker at the top of the surface.


Dual type speakers are also mounted on the bottom.


The back side is a full metal body with such feeling. "Aluminum" full of metal feeling in color

SIM card slot only on the left side.


Type - C USB port on the bottom.


USB cable can be inserted without distinguishing between front and back.

You can see detailed ideas such as changing the volume button and texture by processing the power button to decoch.


Sensor for fingerprint authentication function officially supported by Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the back.

Processing precision of metal such as edge part is considerably high, and as expected it is luxurious as Nexus's high-end model.


A slightly protruding rear camera part is a characteristic part of Nexus 6P.


Leak phaseIn the design which was ridiculed as "a submarine periscope", there is no discomfort in the streamlined line when looking at it actually.




Nexus 6P is manufactured by Huawei, which is fiercely competing against Xiaomi and China's smartphone market. In addition, the lower part of the back is protected with material that seems to be durable on the premise of rubbing.


Nexus 6P also has a chic black "Graphite" model. Although graphite is shiny, there is a glossy peculiar to metal, it is a unique texture.


Compared to this.


The surface is exactly the same coloring except the side part. Of course the size and function are exactly the same.


◆ Nexus 5X
Then Nexus 5X. The letter "X" in the box. "X" means that the meaning of the brand "core (core)" is included.


In addition, compared with Nexus 6P box, it is slightly smaller and there is a difference in paper material.


Nexus 5X appears when you open the box.


The contents are Nexus 5X main unit, AC adapter, USB cable (Type-C), simple manual.


In addition, the Nexus 5X AC adapter is a strange design that the Type-C USB port is on the side. Also, the USB cable comes with only the C - C type, and in order to connect with the USB port of the PC etc etc, we must say that the point that we have to purchase new conversion adapter or cable additionally is a minus.


The Nexus 5X is equipped with a 5.2 inch (1920 × 1080) liquid crystal display. The size slightly increased as a successor to Nexus 5, but the hold property is good.
