Nokia X6 16GB Sim Free Mobile Phone - Black

Product Information

Nokia's return to the smartphone market with Android hasn't exactly set the sales charts on fire, but the company has steadily been making progress, with a constant stream of new and relevant devices. The latest one we have today is the Nokia 6.1 Plus, an entrant in the ever-popular mid-range segment. The TENAA listing also shows a 16MP front camera but doesn't say whether it will have microSD expansion. It does suggest the Nokia X will have a 3,000mAh battery - and not a 3,500mAh unit that has been rumoured - and will come running Android Oreo 8.1. Starting off, I know you would have already noticed the notch at the top of the screen. It’s 2018 people and there’s no point running away from the notch that surely has become the norm for Android phones. I’ve come to terms with this ongoing trend and did not mind the small notch, holding the earpiece, front camera, and sensors on the Nokia X6.

The Nokia 6.1 Plus, the global variant of the hotly anticipated Nokia X6 ( Rs 16,130 on Banggood), is gunning for mass adoption, coupled with a premium aesthetic, modest specs, and an attractive price point. I have been using the Nokia X6 as my daily driver for a couple of weeks now and here’s my experience with the device:

Another source of irritation is the way icons and options respond to touch input – some respond to a single tap, while others require a double tap – a bit of consistency wouldn’t have gone amiss here. The X6 can also be slow to switch the screen from portrait to landscape mode when you turn it on its side. It also blanks the screen while doing this which is a bit disconcerting. In fact sluggishness is an issue that creeps in often enough to become annoying.That aside, the Nokia X6 also has the 19:9 aspect ratio with way slimmer bezels which means there’s a considerably high screen to body ratio. Both of the dual cameras are arranged towards the middle with both the flash and fingerprint reader below it.

It’s rare to find a Nokia phone that doesn’t have good call quality and thankfully the X6 doesn’t let the side down here. In fact, it has pretty much all the connectivity bases covered. It supports HSDPA for fast web access on the go and also has Wi-Fi for use at home or in hotspots. Naturally, Bluetooth is also present and the onboard GPS worked without any problems with the preloaded Nokia Maps software. Battery life was good too, as we got around two and a half day’s use out of it under fairly normal usage conditions.

HMD Global may have adopted a tried and tested route with the Nokia X6, but it has already generated a ton of hype and why wouldn’t it when it has a lot of things working in its favor. The Nokia X6 is a complete budget device, with a premium design and top-notch performance, only if you’re not an avid mobile photographer. Then, the Nokia X6 may fall short of your expectations but I expect the company to improve the quality via upcoming updates. So, does the latest Nokia phone meet your expectations? Let us know in the comments down below.Yes, we are talking about the notch design. Love it or hate it, the notch seems to be the trend for 2018 and Nokia is fully onboard. However, unlike others, Nokia has chosen to do this with its mid-range offering, which makes it one of the few in this segment to sport this design. Nokia 6.1 Plus specs On paper, there is a lot to like here. Let's see what's it like in practice. Unboxing the Nokia 6.1 Plus Even though it shares most of its name with the Nokia 6.1, don't let that fool you into thinking the 6.1 Plus is some sort of larger version of that. This is very much a different phone altogether, one that feels much more modern than the 6.1 even though it's only a few months newer. As for the speakers on the Nokia X6, there’s only one speaker at the bottom of the device – right next to the USB Type-C charging port. This is not the most ideal position for the speaker as it is easy to muffle when you’re lying down in bed or playing games in landscape mode. It seems that Google Pixels or Razer Phones are the only few devices left with front-facing stereo speakers, otherwise, we have to make do with such mono speakers.
