Smartphones and tablets Nexus became popular early on in no small part thanks to the fantastic quality / price ratio which involved the sponsorship of Google, but it seems that with the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 the range has been turned around, now offering devices of an even higher level but with prices that no longer differ so much from those of other manufacturers (especially in Europe, where the dollar-euro conversion is hurting us so much lately) and little little by little we are left with no choice but to assume that we must return to the low-cost area (mainly Asians) if we are looking for a certain level of Technical specifications determined price, although losing, logically, some of the attractions of the others. To what extent is this so? The comparative today, which faces the Nexus 6P with the OnePlus 2, gives us a good example of this and can help you decide which of the two options is the most suitable for you.
Integrated
One of the points in which this change in the policy of Google in its range Nexus is undoubtedly that of design, since the Nexus 6P It is, for example, the first in its history to arrive with a metal casing. The OnePlus 2 It has also involved some evolution in materials and finishes compared to its predecessor, but it is still predominantly plastic. Both have, in any case, a fingerprint reader.
Dimensions
The difference in size between these two devices is quite remarkable (15,9x7,78 inch against 15,18x7,49 inch), although justifiable to some extent by the fact that the display of the Nexus 6P it is something bigger. Despite this, the phablet of Google has the same weight as that of OnePlus (178 grams against 175 grams) and is much finer (7,3 mm against 9,9 mm).
Screen
The screen of the Nexus 6P not only is it larger than the OnePlus 2 (5.7 inches against 5.5 inches), but also has a higher resolution (2560 x 1440 against 1920 x 1080), with enough margin so that its pixel density is also higher (PPI 518 against PPI 401). It should also be noted that the phablet of Google uses an AMOLED panel, while the OnePlus it's LCD.
Performance
In the performance section, on the other hand, we find a much more equal situation and, depending on the model we choose, the balance may even tip in favor of the OnePlus 2: to begin with, they both mount the same processor (Snapdragon 810 eight core to 2,0 GHz) and have 3 GB of RAM memory, although they reach 4 GB on the top model of the phablet OnePlus. This equality, in any case, will serve to better assess the effect of the software, something that we hope to be able to verify soon in a test of fluency between the two.
Storage capacity
El Nexus 6P It has an advantage again now, since not only does it offer us more internal memory in the most basic model (32 GB against 16 GB), but also has a higher maximum (128 GB against 64 GB). Whatever our choice, it is important that we think about it well since neither of them is going to give us the option of expanding it externally through micro-SD.
Cameras
The technical specifications of both are quite similar, at least for the main camera (12 MP against 13 MP, both with optical image stabilization), but remember that Google insists that the virtue of the Nexus 6P is in the size of its pixels and experts seem to agree that it is a very fruitful innovation. It also has a certain advantage in the front camera (8 MP against 5 MP).
Autonomy
Again we have to insist that the really interesting data will be the ones that the autonomy tests leave us but, as always, until then all that remains is to compare the battery capacity of both, which turns out to be quite similar, although still with advantage for him Nexus 6P (3450 mAh against 3300 mAh).
Price
As we have seen, the Nexus 6P surpasses the OnePlus 2 in several sections, but this is the point at which the Asian phablet compensates for its possible defects, since while the first one will be sold from $650, the second can be purchased for only $340. It is up to each one to assess what qualities are the most interesting to them.
