The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro is not the only duel that we had pending for the new one Nexus 6P, but we also had yet to face the latest phablet made by the makers of the other Nexus this year. We refer, of course, to LG and its new LG V10, a device of which we do not yet have many details about when and how it will arrive in our country, but that many will wait impatiently. They are two phablets that, in addition, within what seems to be a fairly established standard for the high-end range, they have surprised us with some quite original features. Can it be that of LG a good alternative to the new Nexus? We start by contrasting the Technical specifications both.
Integrated
For what we have been seeing in the high-end lately, the truth is that both the Nexus 6P such as LG V10 they look quite unusual, not so much from the front as from the back. The phablet of Google is more within the norm, yes, in the choice of materials, with a metal casing, while in that of LG we find a silicone one. Both have, in any case, a fingerprint reader.
Dimensions
Few differences in terms of dimensions with two relatively large devices for their screen size (15,93x7,78 inch against 15,96x7,93 inch), something strange because it is not usual with either of these two manufacturers. The Nexus 6P has an advantage, however, both in thickness (7,3 mm against 8,6 mm) and by weight (178 grams against 192 grams).
Screen
As we just said, the screen of both phablets is the same size (5.7 inches), but it is not the only thing they have in common: their resolution and pixel density are also identical (2560 x 1440 y PPI 518, respectively). Note, however, that the display of the Nexus 6P is AMOLED and the LG V10 it's LCD. Nor can we fail to mention the secondary screen of the phablet of LG, a technology that allows you to use only one area of the main screen for notifications and other functions, although this is actually an innovation that has more to do with saving energy.
Performance
LG has returned to bet on him Snapdragon 808 (six cores and maximum frequency of 1,8 GHz) instead of by the Snapdragon 810 that we do find in the Nexus 6P (eight cores and a maximum frequency of 2,0 GHz), but it does have an advantage in the RAM memory section (3 GB against 4 GB). It should also be taken into account that the Android stock of the Nexus It is usually a point in its favor in terms of fluency, but we will have to wait for the tests of real use to verify it.
Storage capacity
Although the LG V10 looks like it will only be available with 64 GB internal memory, while the Nexus 6P you can get so much with less32 GB) as well as with more storage capacity (128 GB), has a fundamental virtue that this other lacks and is that it allows us to expand it externally through a micro-SD card.
Camera
We will have to wait to see if the camera of the LG V10 supposes or does not improve with respect to the LG G4, to which, according to expert analysis and despite the lower number of megapixels (12 MP against 16 MP), The Nexus 6P I would have managed to overcome. As for the main camera, the balance is tilted at the moment on the side also of the phablet of Google (8 MP against 5 MP).
Autonomy
This is one of the sections, as you well know, in which the technical specifications are further from allowing us to draw definitive conclusions, since the consumption of the device is a fundamental factor and very difficult to calculate a priori. We can, yes, compare the capacity of their respective batteries, but we must bear in mind that it is still a fairly partial data. In this case, victory would be clear to him. Nexus 6P (3450 mAh against 3000 mAh).
Price
From LG V10 We only know at the moment that it is going to cost $ 600 on the other side of the Atlantic but, unfortunately, due to the exchange rates between the dollar and the euro, lately that tells us very little about how much it is going to cost us here and it is quite possible that it ends up as minimum, very close to the price of the Nexus 6P, which will be $650.
