If you can find a Nexus 6P I would say grab.

Alphr | Jonathan Bray

In short, the Nexus 6P delivers more bang per buck than any other smartphone currently on the market. If you're looking for a handset with a big screen, at a price that won't make a huge hole in your bank balance, this is what you want to buy.

Know Your Mobile | RIchard Goodwin

The Nexus 6P is EASILY my favourite handset of 2015 - bar none! It looks great, feels great, performs great and has the best software currently available inside the mobile space. Battery performance is exceptional, the camera is decent and overall performance - I've had this phone for months now - is solid, reliable and consistent.

Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne

Its looks may be a bit divisive, but it all adds up to make the Nexus 6P a top-class smartphone. In the end, it means the Nexus 6P is still our Best Buy.

Android Headlines | Nick Sutrich

The Nexus 6p is an incredibly well built phone with almost no real negatives outside of the size. Every benchmark we used for measuring a smartphone's greatness has been met or exceeded with this phone in just about every way.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

The first no compromise Nexus is a beautiful, fast and worthy canvas for Android Marshmallow... The screen, battery, processor, camera, build quality are all as good as, if not better, than the competition.

Recombu | Alex Todd

It looks good, packs great hardware all-round and can deliver when pit against the market's biggest rivals.

V3 | James Archer

A powerful, well-built, long-lasting phablet with a superb display and highly capable main camera.... Even its flaws, like an inferior front-facing camera and lower-than-advertised storage space, are hardly specific to the Nexus 6P; in the latter case, it could actually be much worse.

T3 | Matt Swider

The Nexus 6P is the best Google-designed smartphone, and it fully competes with the stellar Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and LG G4, even before you factor in the significant price difference.

Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti

The Nexus 6P is a great phone- the pure Android experience is glorious and the camera amazing. Battery life is robust and the build quality solid. There is no expandable storage, but I think Google have tried to do an Apple with this one and no splash proof coating.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

The Google Nexus 6P is the best phablet available at the moment, its build, feel and design are top-notch. It is responsive, has an excellent camera and a convenient, accurate and fast fingerprint scanner. Android 6.0 Marshmallow is refined and complements the Nexus 6P.

Stuff | Andrew Williams

One of the best Nexus devices to date, and a real alternative to the cream of the crop from Samsung and LG.

TechAeris | Alex Hernandez

The best Android phone on the market period. Balance of hardware and software is on par with Apple iPhone and in many ways exceeds Apple's offering. If you're looking to make a jump to Android, this is the phone to do it with.

TechSpot | Tim Schiesser

So if you're after an Android device with all the latest hardware, a great camera, a large display, stock Android with fast updates, and a high-quality design, you shouldn't look much further than the Nexus 6P. It's one of the best smartphones of the year.

pocketnow | Michael Fisher

It's got a great display, a really good camera, solid battery life, and smooth software that's guaranteed to get timely updates. The Nexus 6P is probably the most balanced Nexus Google has ever commissioned: it's got the power to keep most diehard Android fans happy, the price to keep it accessible to "normal" folks, and a design that doesn't alienate either group.

TechRadar | Matt Swider

It's remains highly recommended if you can find it – especially now that it's been updated to Android Nougat.

OtherGadgette | Holly Brockwell

This is an excellent phone, and really fulfils Google's promise to make something that shows off the best of Android. The teething problems we've had with it are relatively minor and will probably be fixed in a future software update, and besides, they're far outweighed by the positive aspects... It has a lot of very high points, and only minor lows, making it the Android we recommend most often.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

I truly believe the Nexus 6P is worth the asking price. Huawei and Google did a fine job in crafting an appealing handset that moves the Android bar a notch higher. If you want a Pure Android experience on a great piece of hardware, the Huawei Nexus 6P is definitely the way to go.

Tom's Guide | Sherri L. Smith

The Google Nexus 6P offers strong performance, very long battery life and the innovative Android 6.0 in an elegant, all-aluminum chassis.

The Journal

The best premium Android phone you can get in the market. Expensive but worth it.

The Inquirer | James Archer

A powerful, well-built, long-lasting phablet with a superb display and highly capable main camera.... Even its flaws, like an inferior front-facing camera and lower-than-advertised storage space, are hardly specific to the Nexus 6P; in the latter case, it could actually be much worse.

Ubergizmo | Hubert Nguyen

The Nexus 6P is a great handset, which brings a lot of value for the money. As the high-end Nexus handset it has been designed with a "Premium" feel and hardware that justifies its price.

PC Advisor | Jim Martin

The 6P...is not only a flagship, but is arguably the best Android phone to buy at the moment. It won't suit everyone due to its size, nor those looking for a phone with dual-SIM slots or a removable battery. There's no support for wireless charging either. But the excellent screen, front-firing speakers, quick charging, great cameras, speedy performance and Android Marshmallow add up to make this a phone that's a pleasure to use.

TechnoBuffalo | Brandon Russell

The hardware is beautiful, the software is intelligent and fun to use, and the camera is excellent. Google's Nexus 6P strikes an impressive balance between hardware and software, it's tough to beat.

NDTV Gadgets | Ali Pardiwala

We're just going to go ahead and say this: the Google Nexus 6P is undoubtedly one of the best Android smartphones you can buy now.

Ars Technica | Ron Amadeo

If you're buying an Android device and want the fastest updates, the longest update support time, the best security program, zero crapware, the best software design, a cohesive app ecosystem, and the latest features from Google, you need to buy a Nexus. Every other Android phone pales in comparison to the Nexus 5X and 6P.

MobileTechTalk | Craig Bradshaw

The Nexus 6P is, quite simply, the best Nexus device, with one 'big' caveat. The size. If you can deal with big devices then this is certainly a viable option, but don't complain that it can be unwieldy, as that's the price you pay currently for an excellent media consumption device.

NotebookCheck | Andreas Kilian

Google's flagship Nexus 6P can impress in many respects. In addition to a powerful SoC, you get 3 GB of RAM as well as numerous current standards for wireless communication. Besides AC Wi-Fi with up to 866 Mbps, the smartphone also supports Bluetooth 4.2 as well as NFC and many mobile frequencies. In practice, it can convince with good phone features, a fast operating system, a great camera and a reliable fingerprint scanner.

International Business Times | Alistair Charlton

The Nexus 6P is a thoroughly impressive piece of kit. There's no escaping that it's a big phone, but Huawei has done a good job of wrapping the big screen around a slim and attractive body. The fingerprint scanner works flawlessly, pure Android will appeal to Google fans, the camera is good and performance never let me down.... the Nexus 6P represents good value for money and should be considered a worthy alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S6 (or larger S6 Edge Plus) and the Sony Xperia Z5 and Z5 Premium.

phoneArena | John V.

Needless to say, it still has its own set of shortcomings, but when we factor in everything, it can't get any better than this for a Nexus device. Killer looks, outstanding performance, and stock Android go a long way – made even better by the fact that it's priced aggressively.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

Call it the premium category, call it the big leagues, call it whatever you what: the Nexus 6P and Google are competing at a different level than they did before. The Nexus was always a good Android phone, sometimes a great one, but never the best one. Now it is.

Engadget | Chris Velazco

... Google finally has made a big phone that's comfortable to use with one hand. It's great for die-hard Android enthusiasts, but we're all spoiled for choice this year and the Nexus 6P doesn't do much to outshine the competition.

Coolsmartphone | Garry Clark

Whilst it may not be perfect, for instance I would like more built-in camera control, it is pretty damn close. The only negative's that I can really place my finger on are the price of entry and no expandable storage.

Android Authority | Lanh Nguyen

This smartphone is a great choice for not only fans of the Nexus line, but Android fans in general, and if you are looking for the best Android experience that Google has to offer, look no further than the Nexus 6P!

Mashable | Raymond Wong

Get the Nexus 6P over the Nexus 5X if a premium metal design and a bigger screen are important to you.

SlashGear | Chris Burns

I can wholeheartedly suggest that every consumer take it for a spin. While our Nexus 5X Review recommends there are better devices for lower comparative prices on the market today, here the Nexus 6P stands alone.

Mobile Syrup | Daniel Bader

It's not a perfect Android phone, but it's the closest example of software that pairs with hardware in a way that feels holistic and seamless. And despite its seemingly-high price, it is one of the best values in the smartphone world right now.

Australian PC World | Tony Ibrahim

The people who buy this smartphone will spend more time watching videos, playing games and surfing the web than they will be making phone calls. It has the screen and the speakers and the power to make all of these tasks immersive. This is not a smartphone for everyone, but for a few, it will be a phone they can relish.

AndroidPit | Camila Rinaldi

The P in Nexus 6P stands for premium, and this device absolutely deserves its monkier – the Nexus 6P outshines the original Nexus 6.

Digital Trends | Malarie Gokey

The Nexus 6P is the finest phone Google has ever made, and sets the standard for every new Android phone

IT PRO | Andrew Williams, Adam Shepherd, Caroline Preece

The Nexus 6P is an excellent phone to showcase Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Thanks to well-executed features at a fair price, the Nexus 6P is one of the best large-screen Android phones around.

What Mobile | Thomas Wellburn

The Nexus 6P is pretty much everything you could want in a smartphone, offering the perfect blend of performance and features. Without a doubt, this is easily Google's best Nexus handset to date.

Forbes | Gordon Kelly

In the short term buying the Nexus 6P is a no brainer. But in the long term whether Android can stand up to iOS at the top end of the market will depend on the fight... It is easily the best Android device ever made, a true flagship without compromise that is leaps and bounds ahead of anything currently offered by Google partners

S21

The Huawei Nexus 6P isn't a phone for everyone. It's a phone for those seeking the latest Marshmallow version of Android in its pure form, with incredibly powerful hardware to accompany it.

Pocket-lint | Elyse Betters

The Nexus 6P is the best Nexus device to date. And if there were ever a time to try out the best of what Google has to offer, now is that time. Huawei did us all a favour and finally paired great hardware with great software.

AnandTech | Andrei Frumusanu

The Nexus 6P hits a sweet-spot in terms of price-performance and is able to position itself very competitively against other devices. Google's own services are also much more prevalent and far reaching in North America, so there's definitely advantage of having a pure Nexus experience (Along with the non-carrier firmware advantage).

Neowin | Robbie Khan

It is an excellent smartphone and will please many who upgrade to it.

Gizmodo UK | Mario Aguilar

I noted some drawbacks in performance of the camera and fingerprint sensor, and I think I should qualify that these are really minor complaints. The camera and the fingerprint sensor work. They're just not up to the incredibly high bar set by the phone's design, general software performance, and other phones that do these things better. But a single phone can't be the best at absolutely everything.

What Hi-Fi?

The new Nexus 6P is a champion of Android, and purists will love the smarter Google Now features and slicker performance that comes with the latest update. But with rival flagships setting the bar so high, the Nexus 6P's picture and sound quality don't quite meet the standards expected.
