As newer phablets enter the market, the existing lineup is always getting refreshed with better models. When the Google Nexus 6P is pitted in a competition against the premium Galaxy S6 Edge from Samsung, it gives customers the opportunity to choose between agloriously beautiful devices and one that falls in the midrange, reports Gizmag.com.

Design

On first look, the S6 Edge Plus captures attention as it has dual curves on its display that flow over its right and left side. One of these curved edges can be customized on the device and it can display five important apps, five contacts and colors associated with them when they call, a night clock and notifications from apps. As for its build, it has a solid metal frame but its front and back are made from Gorilla Glass 4 and it has a fingerprint scanner in its home button. Coming to colors of the S6 Edge Plus, there are black, white, gold and silver options, while its competitor the Nexus 6P comes in silver, gray and white.

According to Gizmodo.com, the Nexus 6P has a major advantage in its build as it is made entirely of aluminum and so it is much sturdier than its competitor, but its fingerprint scanner is positioned at its rear where there is a broad protruding portion of plastic that houses its camera.
