We continue with the recently launched Mate 8 as the protagonist of our comparative And if yesterday we faced the popular iPhone 6s Plus, today it is the turn of the phablet of Google, Nexus 6P, a duel with the added morbidity that it is actually a bit of a fratricidal fight, since the two are manufactured by Huawei, in addition to the fact that in this case the prices are much closer. Which of the two phablets of the Chinese company is the one that best suits those you are looking for? Let's see analyze their Technical specifications, section by section.
Integrated
Although in both cases we have a metal casing and fingerprint reader, the truth is that there are quite important aesthetic differences between the two, which can have an important weight when choosing between the two: the design of the Mate 8 is cleaner and much more classic, while that of the Nexus 6P It is quite out of the ordinary, especially when it comes to its back cover.
Dimensions
If you look at the screen / size ratio, the balance is tilted to the side of the Mate 8 which, despite having a slightly larger screen, is not actually bulkier, the main difference being that it is somewhat less elongated (15,71x8,06 inch against 15,93 xm 7,78 cm). The Nexus 6P, however, it has some advantage, although not very pronounced, both in thickness (7,9 mm against 7,3 mm) and by weight (185 grams against 178 grams).
Screen
We have already said that the screen of the Mate 8 is something bigger than the Nexus 6P (6 inches against 5.7 inches), but this is not the only difference to take into account, since Google's phablet also has a higher resolution (1920 x 1080 against 2560 x 1440) and therefore a higher pixel density (PPI 368 against PPI 518), in addition to using AMOLED panels, instead of LCD.
Performance
Another important difference is found in the performance section, since they mount different processors: while the Nexus 6P mounts a Snapdragon 810 eight core to 2,0 GHz, Mate 8 arrives already with him Kirin 950 of the latest generation, eight-core as well, but with a slightly higher frequency, of 2,3 GHz. The basic model arrives in both cases with 3 GB of RAM, but it should be mentioned that the new Huawei phablet also has a version with 4 GB. The two arrive already with Android Marshmallow.
Storage capacity
With regard to storage capacity, which of the two interests us the most depends above all on whether we prefer internal memory or having a slot micro-SD: The Nexus 6P you do not have this, but you can get it with up to 128 GB hard disk, while the maximum for the Mate 8 is 64 GB, but expandable externally.
Cameras
El Mate 8 It is also imposed as far as the number of megapixels is concerned for the main camera (16 MP against 12.3 MP), as well as having an optical image stabilizer, although we have already commented many times that the virtue of the Nexus 6P They are not the number of megapixels, but their size. With regard to the front camera, we find a draw, with 8 MP in both cases.
Autonomy
As we always remember, the last word is the autonomy tests, but it is true that it seems difficult for the Nexus 6P can get ahead of the Mate 8 in this section, taking into account that it has a screen with a higher resolution and, above all, that the latter has a battery with a capacity of no less than 4000 mAh, in front of 3450 mAh of the other.
Price
As we said at the beginning, there is not much difference in price between the two (especially considering that we are already moving in relatively high figures, although not too much for high-end phablets), since the official initial price of the Mate 8 consist of $600 and that of Nexus 6P 650 euros.
