The Nexus 6P has 2015 innards, but they don't fall far short of the HTC 10. The Nexus 6P's processor is backed up by 3 GB of RAM and the Adreno 430 GPU, meaning that in day-to-day use, even when playing graphic-intensive games, the 6P performs admirably, and you're unlikely to notice any performance issues. The Snapdragon 810 has gained notoriety for overheating issues, and some throttling of the processor was detected when we ran intensive, back-to-back benchmarks on the device, but nothing worth losing sleep over.
2015's flagship processor, the Snapdragon 810 was placed inside, providing rapid response times and reliable performance. Huawei kitted the Nexus 6P out with high-end hardware to suit it premium appearance. While the HTC 10's screen is impressive, providing rich colors, it approaches AMOLED quality but doesn't surpass it, handing a victory to the Nexus 6P. Now the most is made of the available space: advantageous when competing against a 5.7-inch phablet such as the Nexus 6P. It's worth noting that HTC has wisely elected to remove the on-screen capacitive buttons and bezel bars, which unnecessarily took up valuable screen space. The screen size sits at 5.2 inches.Īn impressive display, yes, but it's not AMOLED. The HTC 10 failed to adopt AMOLED technology, which had been rumored to appear, instead opting to stick with the Super LCD 5 display seen on previous generations. Indeed, even a year on, it provides some of the best color representation we've seen on an AMOLED display, and it's up against tough competition from Samsung. It performs very well in all the key areas: saturation, detail, brightness, contrast. The Nexus 6P has a 5.7-inch QHD AMOLED display. While far from revolutionary, the HTC 10 is a great looking device. Wide diamond cuts have been made to the rear panel, making the device appear as though levitating when placed flat on a surface, and the brushed metal results in a similar matte shimmer to that seen on the rear of the Nexus 6P. The HTC 10 offers relatively little in the way of change from previous iterations – no strange visors or materials – but what little changes have been made mark graceful refinements. The Nexus 6P is immediately recognizable by its rear visor. Its fingerprint scanner, however, placed on the rear of the device, is easily accessible when the device is held in the hand. The 6P is a 5.7-inch phablet, and as such requires some finger aerobics from those with smaller hands.

Having said that, many owners, including one of our staff, had the rear visor crack for no apparent reason, so it's not without fault. Whether it's to your taste or not comes down to personal preference, but overall it is a striking, and well made device. Its rear visor, stretching across the entirety of the device's width, has become a defining design feature. Huawei made the first all-metal Nexus with the 6P, adding a premium quality to what was previously a more budget range.
