Huawei Nexus 6P camera gets detailed ahead of its official debut

Posted on by

Alleged details on the camera of the upcoming Huawei Nexus 6P made the rounds online ahead of its debut. The flagship phablet will become official alongside LG Nexus 5X in a couple of days, on September 29 at an event in San Francisco.

Huawei Nexus 6P is tipped to feature a 12.3MP main camera with f/2.0 lens and large 1.55 μM pixels, which are the reason for the snapper’s fairly low resolution. Larger pixels will capture more light, thus giving the phablet’s camera an edge in low-light scenarios.

The front-facing camera of the Nexus 6P will reportedly be an 8MP unit. It is said to feature 1.4 μM pixels.

Physical measures of Nexus 6P are rumored to be 159.4 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm. We reckon that they don’t include the considerable camera hump that the phablet will sport.

Yesterday’s leaked Google slides confirmed that Nexus 6P will pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 5.7″ QHD display, USB Type-C connector, fingerprint sensor, and stereo speakers. Of course, the device will come with Android Marshmallow out of the box….

Latest Nexus 6P leak offers more spec details ahead of September 29 event

Posted on by

Google’s new Nexus phones may only be a couple of days away, but that’s still a couple of days that we’re without new Nexus hardware. The rumor mill has stepped in to fill that void while we wait.

Several Google presentation slides that show off the Huawei Nexus 6P have leaked, confirming many leaked details about the device and revealing a couple more in the process. In terms of raw specs, this leak claims that the Nexus 6P will have a 5.7-inch 2560×1440 display, Snapdragon 810 processor, dual front speakers, USB Type-C, fingerprint sensor, and a 3450mAh battery, all wrapped in a metal unibody design.

According to the original presentation that includes speaker notes, the Nexus 6P’s screen will be of the AMOLED variety. Those notes also suggest that it’ll have 3GB of RAM, 12.3-megapixel rear and 8-megapixel front cameras, and a body that measures 159.4 x 77.8 x 7.3mm. To compare, the Nexus 6 and its 5.9-inch display measures 159.3mm x 83.0mm x 10.1mm.

The Nexus 6P is also expected to be available in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities. Color options are said to include Aluminum, Graphite, Frost, and Gold. However, that Gold color will reportedly only be available in Japan, at least initially.

One other detail about this leak that’s worth noting is that it includes another look at the Nexus 6P’s camera bump. There have been some concerns that that camera bump may be pretty large based on leaked images of the Nexus 6P, but in the slide below, the bump doesn’t look all that big.

Should these specs hold true, the Nexus 6P ought to be a pretty nice device, offering high-end specs like a high-res AMOLED display and a Snapdragon 810, wrapped in an all-metal body that’ll be a first for the Nexus line. Now we just have to wonder: How much will the Nexus 6P cost? Good thing that we’ve only got about a day and a half left before we find out and then throw that money at our screens.
