How to launch the Google Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X Camera

Apart from being able to take
good photos (and video), Google's
Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X also
come with a new way to launch
their cameras - a quick way, to be
precise. Of course, quickly
launching a camera isn't
something that hasn't been done
before (for instance, you can launch a Motorola Moto
X camera with a double-twist gesture, while the
camera of a Samsung Galaxy S6 can be rapidly fired
up by double tapping the home button). But it's still
nice to see that Google has taken the time to
implement such a feature.

So, how exactly can you quickly launch the camera on
the Nexus 6P or the Nexus 5X? Well, you just have to
double press the power button, which is situated on
the right side of both devices. For this to work, you
need to make sure that the quick camera launch
feature is enabled.

It should be enabled by default
when you're getting any of the two Nexus handsets
out of the box, but, if the trick doesn't work, you may
want to check its status. The feature can be turned on
and off from Settings -> Display (where you'll find a
"Press power button twice for camera" toggle).

Double pressing the power button starts the camera
in any situation, even with the screen off and locked,
just as long as your Nexus 6P or 5X is not powered
off.
