Thanks to the slightly smaller 5.7-inch instead of 6-inch display, the new Nexus 6P is mainly narrower than the previous Nexus 6: It is now around half a centimeter (~0.2 in) smaller.
The new Android device also competes against Apple's iPhone 6S Plus as well as Microsoft's new Lumia 950 XL. Other alternatives are the slightly smaller 5.5-inch devices LG G4, Huawei Mate S as well as the OnePlus 2. This list includes the 5.7-inch Android devices Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ as well as Motorola Moto X Style. Rivals for the Nexus 6P are mainly the flagship models from the competition. Our review unit is the "Black Graphite" version with 32 GB internal storage. The pricing is therefore identical to the previous models and is definitely targeting the high-end segment.
You can get it in three colors with 32, 64 or 128 GB for prices ranging between 649 and 799 Euros (~$709 to ~$873) from Google's online shop. However, Google did not announce only one new smartphone, but two: While the Nexus 5X with its compact dimensions, which is manufactured by LG, is designed to attract customers of the Nexus 5 from 2013 in particular, the much larger Nexus 6P (produced by Huawei) is the successor of the Nexus 6 from last year. Those devices are already shipped with the updated operating system. Google presented the usual new reference devices for the launch of Android 6.0 aka Marshmallow.
