Next up on Mobile Madness pits Huawei’s Nexus 6P versus Sony’s Xperia Z5. We’re still in the play-in round of this totally random tournament style picke-em poll. Yesterday we saw the BlackBerry Classic go up against the OnePlus X.
The Nexus 6P is probably the first time most U.S. users have set their eyes on a Huawei device. Then again, some may argue it is equally difficult to get an Xperia device here in the U.S. market as well, at least as far as sales distribution is concerned.
The Nexus 6P has pretty much all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a Nexus device, though some may argue lack of wireless charging is a deal breaker, it does have USB type-C fast charging, though. The Xperia Z5 is waterproof and has some nice clean design features you’d expect from the Xperia line. Which one trumps the other?

The Nexus 6P is different—or comes about as close to perfection as I’ve seen. What I find most impressive is how the Nexus 6P’s excellence feels so natural, like it isn’t trying too hard to be the best. It just is. Everything works in perfect harmony to create one of the most exciting devices in a long, long time… read more
Sony Xperia Z5
With a familiar industrial slab design, the Sony Xperia Z5 sports a 5.2-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 810 chip, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. Additionally, it sports Android 5.1 out of the box, IP68 dust and water-resistance, and a 23-megapixel camera with advanced image stabilization. Oh, and it also sports a 2900mAh battery. That’s not the beefiest out there, but because this has a 1080p screen, it should be good enough to get you through a heavy day of use… read more
