1. Design: Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone's design is impressive. The phone is relatively thinner than most flagships in the market. The thicker top part of the phone with a black differentiated part that houses the camera and the flash also elevates the phone's look. The rear panel of the phone too gives an elegant look with the aluminium finish, fingerprint sensor and the nexus logo (which is embossed) on the panel.

2. Display: Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone's 5.7-inch quad-HD display has a 518 pixels per inch (ppi) density and provides a good viewing experience. The pixel density is higher than most other devices and so images appear sharper.

3. Google is actually right to claim that Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone has the best camera yet. The rear camera is very fast and accurate, taking it closer to rivals like iPhone 6S and Galaxy S6 when it comes to shutter speed. Due to the larger 1.55 micron pixels that let in more light, the camera does well in low-light conditions. The camera comes with only three other modes including auto – photosphere, panorama and lens blur.

4. Processor: The Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone's 2GHz octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, combined with 3 GB DDR4 RAM, is an industry-grade performer. Multi-tasking, changing between games and other functions are lightning fast on the device.

5. Operating System: The Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone's is on the latest Android operating system (OS) Marshmallow or Android 6.0. The OS has been modified to make the experience much faster and better. Quick actions and menus make the phone more intuitive. Google Now on Tap, an artificial intelligence programme or machine learning programme uses the raw power of the search engine to show more info about the user's search input. The feature works with movies, places, people and music bands.

7. Battery: The Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone's comes with a 3,450 mAH battery which, in spite of the phone having a quad-HD display, manages nearly 24 hours. This is again aided by the 'Doze' mode. The phone also supports quick charging, which is also a plus.

8. 'Doze': The Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone's operating system also offers a 'Doze' mode which is instrumental in saving battery drain. The phone essentially shuts down all app background activity when it is left untouched for a long time.

9. Apps: Another noticeable feature in the Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone is the app drawer on the top of the apps menu. The most used apps are reflected on top in the drawer followed by apps in the alphabetical order. The OS also comes with a search bar to allow users to look for specific apps.

10. Ease of use: The Huawei Nexus 6P smartphone has curved and thicker edges. Due to its big screen size, the phone might not easily fit into all pockets. Also, the screen and the buttons have a distinct Huawei-made look and feel. One can in some way relate to the design of the Honor 7 as the Nexus 6P looks like a crossover between the two with its rear-sided fingerprint scanner.
