Huawei Nexus 6P

Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 810 chipset pairing four 1.55GHz Cortex-A53 cores with four 2.0GHz Cortex-A57 cores, backed by 3GB RAM and storage options up to 128GB. That's paired with a 5.7-inch AMOLED screen running at 1440 x 2560 pixels, which works out to roughly 518 ppi, sharp enough for text and video alike. Android 6.0 Marshmallow runs the show out of the box.

The rear camera is a 12.3MP unit with laser autofocus and a dual-LED flash, useful for locking focus quickly in low light, and it can shoot 4K video at 30fps. An 8MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. A fingerprint sensor sits on the back for unlocking, and there's NFC for contactless payments. Huawei Nexus 6P price in Malaysia starts from RM2698.

Battery capacity is 3450 mAh, non-removable, charged through a reversible USB Type-C port. At 178g and 7.3mm thick, it's not the lightest phone around, but the build includes front-facing stereo speakers and a 3.5mm jack, so there's no shortage of audio options.
