The Nexus 6P is Google’s newest, highest-end smartphone. And if nothing else it’s priced up there in the realms of some of the other flagship class phones from some of the other big manufacturers.
While we won’t know how the Nexus 6P fares against any of them until we get the chance to spend some real world time with them, we can at least look at some of the specs. How well does it stack up against the competition from Samsung, Motorola, LG and yes, even the Apple iPhone 6s Plus. Let’s break it down.
