Google took the original Nexus 6P and covered it in gold. Same specs. Same everything. Except, gold.

Here's the original Nexus 6P and the new hotness, side by side.

The Nexus 6P still has one of the fastest fingerprint sensors we've ever experienced.

That's a sharp 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution.

Well, almost any way. Let's be sensible here.

That big golden shield is quite comforting.
