This seems to allow for the whole display assembly to act as a heat sink, giving the 6P considerably more thermal headroom when compared to other devices. As we see in iFixit’s teardown of the device, the SoC rests against the metal mid-frame of the Nexus 6P and even has thermal paste applied to it to allow for better thermal conductivity. The Nexus 6P looks to be among one of the better designs fit for the chipset. Image courtesy of iFixit Nexus 6P teardown. I did however notice one common characteristic between the devices sporting the SoC this year was that it seems that manufacturers were ill prepared for the higher thermals of the chipset.
While there’s been a lot of discussions about the Snapdragon 810 this year, this review isn’t the right place to dwell too much into details of that topic (I’ll shortly get back to it in the battery section).
#Nexus 6p software 1080p#
It is unfortunate that the switch from 1080p to 1440p has managed to eliminate most of the performance and efficiency advancements of this generation as we see the Nexus 6P performing not much better than some 1080p Snapdragon 801 devices.
That being said, the SoC will still throttle to about 50% of its peak performance leading to an overall sustained performance that one cannot be too enthusiastic about.

The 6P manages to actually run 1-2 cycles of T-Rex before starting to throttle down in performance, whereas the Mi Note Pro would already throttle within the first run-cycle. While looking at the battery performance graph we’re able to see the GPU throttling behavior of the 6P is ever so slightly better than that of the Mi Note Pro.
#Nexus 6p software drivers#
While normally one could argue this is possibly due to newer drivers or other slight software improvements, I believe it to be caused by better thermal dissipation performance on the part of the Nexus 6P. Device ThermalsĪs mentioned earlier in the section, I pointed out that one should keep in mind the slight performance difference of the Nexus 6P compared to other Snapdragon 810 devices. Nevertheless, we see competitive performance given that we’re talking about an 8-month old SoC towards the end of its lifetime. The onscreen test paints a similar picture, the 1440p resolution of the device brings down the frames per seconds considerably.

Again the Nexus 6P performs well in the off-screen test as we see it yet again jump ahead of the Android competition. Manhattan 3.0 is a more ALU heavy test with more shader effects and thus represents a different kind of load compared to the T-Rex test. Scores are overall lower, but still manages to perform comparatively well to other devices, only being beat by the unique combination of 1080p and Snapdragon 810 of the HTC One M9, and of course the new iPhones who also themselves are hitting Vsync limits. Please keep in mind that our benchmark scores of the HTC One M9 are of a 2.0 revision of the chipset with slightly lower memory and GPU clocks.įor the on-screen T-Rex test we see the impact of the 1440p resolution of the device. Here the Nexus 6P actually manages to perform the best among Android devices, slightly edging out the Mi Note Pro and the Note 5. T-Rex is of the former nature where we see high emphasis the GPU’s texture and fill-rate capabilities. The benchmark has been a staple of our benchmark suite for a couple of years now as it offers insight into different aspects of a GPU’s performance, such as texture and fill-rate bounds loads to ALU heavy tests. We next move on to GFXBench from Kishonti. The physics benchmark is mostly a CPU benchmark while also stressing the GPU a bit – again we see the Nexus 6P perform well and most noticeably better than other Snapdragon 810 devices such as the Mi Note Pro. Here we see the Nexus 6P perform very well as it manages to almost reach the top of the line-up, only to be beaten by Apple’s A9 processor in the new iPhones.

Please keep in mind the performance differences to other Snapdragon 810 as I’ll try to give an explanation to the delta towards the end of the section.ģDMark Ice Storm Unlimited is a 720p offscreen benchmark that stresses a lot of different aspects of a GPU.
Together with LPDDR4 running at up to 1555MHz, this should give plenty of performance to power the 1440p screen of the Nexus 6P. On the GPU side we find the Adreno 430 powering the Snapdragon 810.
