There are also some interesting key points like a finger-sized camera hump that pans beneath the top edge. A horizontal, line-shaped home button instead of a round or square shape. Overall, the design looks robust and masculine, but it also has the feel of a high tech device thanks to some difference from regular phones.

This is an old phone, but this is also a Google’s phone. It is understandable if they are one or two years ahead of the trend sometimes.

The Google Nexus 6P RAM sports 3GB and three memory options (32/64/128 GB). Sadly, there is no slot for a MicroSD card.
