Reviews for the Nokia 6

82% Nokia 6 Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
News from Finland. With the Nokia 6, Nokia sends its current smartphone top model into the race. The 5.5-inch Android smartphone is better equipped than its entry-level colleagues, the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5, and therefore it runs in the mid-range. Our test shows how it fares there.
80% Nokia 6 review: a budget bargain from one of mobile’s most loved names
Source: T3 English Archive.org version
The Nokia 6 is a mixed bag. It’s better than the Nokia 3 and the 5, but it’s let down by those sharp edges and unimpressive battery. It’s not one for power users, who’ll find the battery runs out of puff long before they do. If you’re not a heavy user or don’t mind the odd bit of battery anxiety the Nokia 6 is a good buy: it’s stylish and generally well specified, with a surprisingly good camera.

75% Nokia 6 Review- If Looks Matter

Nokia 6, priced at Rs 14,999 offers excellent build quality with good design and stock Android along with promised upgrades. But where the device fails is the performance and also the low light camera performance. Nokia 6 is a decent device to buy if you are looking for Nokia brand, but otherwise, there are many other worthy alternatives available.

The Nokia 6 is a conflicting device. There’s a lot to like about it, especially its premium design and solid build quality, but it’s only an average performer. It feels underpowered, especially for what many power users would expect. For those, there are better performing smartphones in the market available in the same price segment.

76% Nokia 6 Review: Plus Stability and Strength, Minus Experience
Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
The Nokia 6 is a device with a great design, good display, and decent battery life. But while the design of the device is exciting, everything else looks a bit dull. While there are some positives, there is not anything which would make your jaw drop. The phone is priced at Rs. 14,999 in the market and it is actually on a bit of a hot seat right now, because standing against it are the likes of the Moto G5s Plus, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, the Xiaomi Mi A1, and the Lenovo K8 Note, all of which boast better processors, larger batteries and in some cases, better (and even dual) cameras too. Which leaves the Nokia 6 pretty much in no man’s land. Yes, it retains its traditional values of strength and stability but lags in the experience department. Literally.

Overall, Nokia 6 has a perfect mix of class, quality, fluidity to be one of the best in the mid-range smartphone segment. Even with few misses including notification light, slight lag on multitasking, and above average camera, Nokia 6 will give other Chinese handsets a good competition. If you want more performance at this price range, you can look out for Moto G5s Plus, Xiaomi Mi A1, Lenovo P2 and others.

Source: Techaeris English Archive.org version
Top notch Nokia build quality and a decent performer all the way around for the $179.99USD price tag. Lockscreen ads may bother some users but I found them easy to tune out. These ads also appear in the notification shade as well but are easy to swipe away, just be aware that there is no way to get rid of them. I would recommend this to those looking to spend less than $200USD on a smartphone.

80% Nokia 6 review: Mid-range segment has a serious new challenger
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
The Nokia 6 is trademark Nokia. This is a phone which does not have one strong USP, but this is a phone you will be able to trust and depend upon. This is a phone you know will work every time you turn to it and does not cost a bomb. The mid-range segment has a serious new challenger and I won’t be surprised if this phone ends up being a big success. This is the new no-nonsense phone. Nokia 6 reiterates that a good phone just needs to get the basics right and does not need gimmicks to gain attention.

The Nokia 6 is an extremely solid offering from HMD Global. It is not a game changer nor is it the best smartphone in its price range. It is among the best, but there are phones that more than match it. It suffers from some performance issues, the back is very scratch prone and the rear camera struggles in low-light.

After a wait of over six months, the Nokia 6 has finally hit the Indian market. It does seem good enough for most everyday jobs. Its brand, design, and build quality are its biggest highlights. Stock Android is also a nice touch, and the confirmed Android O update is great news too. Music lovers will be happy with the high-quality speakers. However, this phone does have drawbacks in terms of its cameras, battery life, and tendency to get hot.

Nokia 6 Review: Offers pure Android experience with good build quality

The Nokia 6 is a decent attempt from HMD Global in order to revive the Nokia brand. The smartphone offers a pretty good design and stock Android is an added advantage. However, it lacks a bit in the performance segment. Priced at Rs 14,999, the smartphone will face tough competition from Moto G5 Plus and Lenovo P2 which come at a similar price tag but offer better specifications.

Nokia 6 review: The brand is back, but this phone is full of compromises
Source: Talk Android English Archive.org version
For $230 it’s really hard to recommend against some other very decently priced phones, but for $180 that decision is much tougher. You’re getting a lot of bang for your buck there, but you have to live with tons of Amazon ads in your face, all the time. That’s not my cup of tea, but if you’re on a budget, give the Nokia 6 a serious look.

Overall, the decision really has to be made on what you're looking for in a sub-£200 phone. If design is important, then there's quality in the Nokia 6 that few rivals offer at this price point, plus that big display. At the same time, if you have budget concerns, then the Moto G5 is more wallet-friendly, while the Lenovo P2 is a longer-lasting proposition.

Nokia 6 Review: A Solid Return to Smartphones
Source: Androidbeat English Archive.org version
It’s hard to criticise Nokia too much for the ‘6’ here – it’s almost the perfect budget smartphone. Tech geeks might sniff at the microUSB charging port, the stereo cheat for the ‘speakers’, the way a second nanoSIM only gets 2G capabilities, the unremarkable camera, but they’d be missing the point. At £200 all in (in the UK), this gets a less demanding user a full 5.5” FHD display, plenty of RAM and storage, and good enough components all round, including that NFC chip and Android Pay.

The China-specific Nokia 6 was our first encounter with HMD's revived Nokia and it left us with mixed feelings. There was enough to like about the 6: the superb build quality and the all-round great display, but then the camera was beyond meh, and the chipset felt a little underpowered.

Because we’re often lucky enough to review high end phones at Ausdroid, it can be difficult to review a low to mid-range device “fairly” while focussing on what would be the target market. But when you’ve got a device like the Nokia 6 in your pocket that often makes you forget that you’re not dealing with a top flight device, in fact a sub $400 phone it’s far easier to do.

It might be the new Nokia’s most expensive offering right now, but the 6 is still strictly stuck in the mid-range. Sure, it’s well built, and has a screen that’s punching above its weight, but it just doesn’t really do anything dramatic to stand out from the crowd.

Ultimately, you can’t really go wrong between these four phones; they all have their strengths and weaknesses. If you’re an iPhone SE user, there’s no compelling reason to jump ship to a mid-range Android phone, but if you’re an Android fan then rejoice! Nokia’s back! Let’s just hope that their impending flagship irons out the few software wrinkles we’ve seen here. Since the 6’s main flaw will be replaced with the top of the line Snapdragon, we’re not anticipating any hardware missteps based on what we’ve seen from the otherwise well-equipped Nokia 6.

How about yourself? Is a $50 savings worth it for you to pick up the ad-filled version over the standard, non-ads option? Considering all of the goodies in tow, and factoring in its very inexpensive price point, the Nokia 6 seems like it’ll benefit from being an Amazon Exclusive. After all, how many of us have journeyed to Amazon with a specific price limit in mind only to add an extra $50 or so at the last minute?

Phones as good as the Nokia 6 make me question spending three to four times more for flagships from Samsung, LG, HTC, and Apple. If I wasn't in the business of writing about smartphones, I am very curious if I could do everything I desire with a $200 smartphone. For just $180, the Nokia 6 is an excellent option for a backup phone if you just cannot give up paying $700 to $900 for a flagship.

A phone of many contradictions, this Nokia 6 is. You're paying low-midrange money for it, and yet you're getting wonderful build quality well worthy of a $700 flagship (we may have to re-evaluate our notion of flagship price in light of recent Korean releases, but that's a different story). The Nokia 6 is also very sturdy, as Zack from JerryRigEverything can confirm.

In all honesty, if you’re a novice at tinkering with smartphones, we’d recommend that you hold off till the official release of the device since you won’t be able to maximize the use of the Nokia 6. The lack of the global ROM that includes Google Play and other Google services is just too much of a hit to really let us recommend the device for now. Plus, it has a pretty steep asking price at Php 18,590 as well.

But it’s a tad too hefty for its processing capabilities, if you ask us. Perhaps if we can all calm down and wait for an official distributor with more reasonable pricing? We’ll keep you posted.

Comment

Model: It’s not every day you get to see a Nokia stamped phone since the smartphone era, but it seems Nokia is trying to make a comeback with the Nokia 6 and even a few others which are coming. Now, let’s take a look at what the Nokia 6 offers. On paper, the Nokia 6 sports a 5.5-inch FHD display, a Snapdragon 430 SoC, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. It has a 16 MP rear camera and 8 MP front camera and a 3000 mAh battery. While the whitepaper specification looks about decent, there obviously has to be something that sets this Nokia apart from other Android devices. The Nokia 6 has a premium all-metal unibody chassis, which feels nice to the touch. Because its primarily constructed out of a single block of aluminium, the device it looks too premium to be on the budget end although it is primarily marketed as a budget phone. Its 5.5-inch display is about as sharp as other phones in its price range. While it is only FHD for a 5.5-inch device, there is not much point to cram a 1440p or even a 4K panel in this device; not because of its target segment but because it will hurt its battery life. In terms of display brightness, the Nokia 6 is about average, but this is to be expected too since this is not Nokia’s flagship. Considering its price, it is actually quite welcoming to see that Nokia was able to include a fingerprint reader which should help with security.

As in most smartphones, the battery is non-removable. This is a shame since it means should the battery start giving issues there would be no way to replace it like the bygone eras of the old Nokia’s. In terms of actual battery life the 3000 mAh battery was able to deliver about a day’s worth of use under average usage with Wi-Fi and so about on par with its closest competitor the Moto G5. One thing to mention here is there isn’t any fast charging here. Hence so users might have to contend with its relatively slow charge times. For the most part, this budget orientated phone is actually anything but budget. Nokia was able to squeeze in quite a solid 16 MP rear camera with dual-tone LED flash, which usually is only available in mid-range to high-end phones. While the front camera is great one should also look at the software side since what good is a camera if the supporting software is sluggish or, worse, bloated with features. Safe to say, the Nokia 6 has a pretty simple interface for its camera the only downside is it lacks certain settings like ISO or even shutter speed. Moving over to the software side of things and has really done a good job by not adding bloatware at all. Hence, stock Android purists will be happy. In the end, we think the Nokia 6 has actually more pros than cons. Despite being a so called-budget device it may actually outperform its competitors in terms of simplicity, which is really what most Android manufacturers lack these days.

Qualcomm Adreno 505: Mid range graphics card integrated in the Snapdragon 430 and 435 SoCs. Based on the 500 generation and supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

430: Lower mainstream octa-core ARM Cortex-A53 SoC clocked at up to 1.4 GHz and the Adreno 505 GPU, a DDR3L-1600 memory controller as well as an X6 LTE (Cat. 4) modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


5.50":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish company founded in 1865 and headquartered in Finland. The company is known for its telecommunications equipment and cell phones. Nokia was one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones in the 1990s and has expanded its business into networking and technology solutions in recent years. 

In 2011, Nokia partnered with Microsoft on Windows-based cell phones and sold the entire cell phone division to Microsoft in 2014, which limited the Nokia brand name to basic cell phones. In 2016, Finnish electronics manufacturer HMD Global entered into a licensing agreement with Nokia, bought the remaining Nokia name rights from Microsoft Mobile, and since 2017 has exclusively offered Nokia cell phones worldwide, which are based on Android, among other things, and are produced by Foxconn.


73.58%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
