Comparison: iphone 6s plus vs google nexus 6p

We arrived at one of the points with the greatest differences between both smartphones, since they both mount two very different hearts that have nothing to do with each other, making it very difficult to compare them fairly, especially when they are governed by two operating systems. they also have nothing in common.
The Nexus 6P mounts a powerful and controversial Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 manufactured in 20nm and formed by four Cortex A 53 cores at 1.55 GHz and another four Cortex A57 at 2 GHz . This time the graphics is done by the powerful Adreno 430 GPU . In short, a processor with a monstrous power whose only rival seems to be the heat that it generates itself and that does not allow it to offer all the performance it could by its specifications.

For its part, the iPhone 6S Plus mounts an Apple A9 processor manufactured by both TSMC at 16nm and Samsung at 14nm and consisting of two Cyclone cores at 1.84 GHz, an own design by Apple based on Cortex A57 but with a good dose of steroids to offer a performance by core unattainable by the rest of the processors although the fact of mounting only two cores places it below in situations where all the cores of other chips will be used. This time the graphics are done by the PowerVR GT7600 GPU . Next to the Apple A9 processor is an M9 coprocessor that is responsible for processing all the data from the sensors.

RAM and storage

The iPhone 6S Plus has 2 GB of RAM and presents the possibility of choosing between 16/64/128 GB internal storage. For its part, the Nexus 6P is presented with 3 GB of RAM and storage options of 32/64/128 GB. We emphasize that in both cases you will NOT be able to expand its storage as it lacks a microSD slot.

OS

If the processor was one of the most different aspects between both smartphones, the operating system is as much and even more so. In the case of the Nexus 6P Android 6.0 Marshmallow that promises great improvements in performance and power management, perhaps the two weakest points of the Google operating system.

For its part, the iPhone 6S Plus has an iOS specifically designed to work with Apple hardware and extract every last drop of performance. A software known for its enviable performance and fluidity.

Two very different operating systems, at this point Apple starts with the advantage of having software that adapts to your hardware like a key does with its corresponding lock.

Battery

The iPhone 6S Plus offers a battery with a capacity of 2, 750 mAh. On the other hand, the Nexus 6P offers a considerably larger battery of 3, 450 mAhB, in both cases they are NOT removable. On paper the Nexus 6P seems much superior in this regard, although it remains to be seen how both operating systems will manage energy.

Connectivity

Both terminals have connections such as WiFi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac, 3G, 4G LTE, Bluetoothot 4.0 and NFC. Here the Nexus 6P is more versatile with its USB 3.1 Type-C port that is destined to become the new standard for high-end smartphones.

Availability and price:

The iPhone 6S Plus has a starting price of 859 euros in its 16 GB version while the Nexus 6P has a considerably lower starting price, 649 euros in its 32 GB version. practically 200 euros difference that make the Nexus 6P a much better smartphone in relation to price / performance.
