Google's latest handset has been garnering a lot of interest from the tech world over the last few weeks. In between all the reports of people not getting their orders delivered on time and Google delaying the launch, I managed to secure one for this review.

If there is one Android phone that is eagerly looked forward to by every Android user, then it has to be the Google Nexus device that launches every year. Sure, you have flagships from Samsung, Sony, HTC, LG, Motorola, Lenovo and off late the Chinese phone makers such as Xiaomi, OnePlus, Gionee and...

Google has scheduled an event for October 4 at which it is expected to launch the next generation of its Android phones. Breaking away from the Nexus name, which has served as the company's in-house phone brand since 2008, the phones will be called the Pixel and Pixel XL, according to a report by Android Police, with pricing reportedly starting at $649.

The Nexus 6P doesn't have the most inspiring design, but when it comes to hardware prowess, value for money and Google extras, this best-ever Nexus is hard to beat.

One of the first two Android 6.0 phones, Google's metal Nexus 6P has a sharp, high-resolution screen and a solid camera, an accurate fingerprint reader, loud speakers and works with every major carrier; Its lower cost makes it a good top-tier value buy.

It's big; a bit boxy and top-heavy; the fingerprint reader's position isn't always convenient and the 6P ditches the wireless charging of previous models.

I purchased the Nexus 6P a year and a half ago, and for the first year and 3 months it held up wonderfully. It had pretty average battery life, which lasted me through the day with about 10% charge left.

Good Screen; great camera; newest version of android

"Eh" Battery life; Screen pops out of casing (in my experience

a true flagship Nexus at last with little to no issues so far Shipping was not fast enough ( international shipping to Oman) packaging and everything else was perfect

As perfect as it gets as an anddoid flagship smartphone

almost nothing

I've had 3 different Android smartphones. I don't get a new one for 3 or 4 years. This one is barely 2 years old and the battery life is awful. Screen brightness all the way down, background usage and almost all app notifications turned off. Location services off, no wifi unless charging.

I received my device in a hospital because I was down with dengue, LOL.nIve been testing it for a whole day, exactly 24 hours.nn1. Doze:nPerfect. Left my phone at around 30% when I went to bed, woke up with 29%. Slept for about 7 hours.n2. Battery:nOkay.

Absolutely awesome phone. Came from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and didn't really notice the "too big" complaint that most people have since I was already used to it. Main advantages are: -Fingerprint scanner (Can be used to sign into my banks app which is a big plus) -Very quick stock android -Loud...

It just works. It's a line we mostly use to talk about Apple, but it's really the story of the Nexus 6P . This is Google's new flagship phone, one of two it made this year to show the world just how good Android can be.

Proof that Google really cares about design! A Nexus phone finally has a great camera; Decent battery life, and crazy-fast charging; Now On Tap is a great idea

Now On Tap doesn't work that well; USB Type-C is great to use but hard to find; Android apps, generally speaking, aren't as good as iOS apps

The Nexus 6P is what happens when you cross a smartphone with a tablet. It is a large, well built ‘phablet' born from a collaboration between Huawei and Google.

Excellent 5.7-inch AMOLED display; Nexus imprint; Powerful innards; USB-C support; Front firing stereo speakers; Long lasting battery

Tall form factor; Camera struggles in high contrast situations; No expandable storage
