Nokia is the only brand name
that has been deep-rooted in most of the Indian mobile phone users mind for its
reliability, affordability and enduring capability. Taken aback its services
for a quite long time, Nokia has now given a great re-entry into the
smartphones' era as the Finland based HMD Global company has started releasing
brand new smartphones in the name of Nokia.
The new launch Nokia 6
(2018) has been boasted for its premium look and a few other cool new features
that differentiate Nokia 6 (2018) from its older sibling Nokia 6.
The external
body has been built from a single block of 6000 series aluminium and as it has
a unibody metal design, Nokia 6 (2018) has richer impression despite of its
price. Unlike the Nokia 6 which was available in three different colours i.e black,
copper and silver for the US market, and it does have an additional option of
blue color for the UK market, the Nokia 6 (2018) in India will be available in
only black and silver colors. Though the phone looks too great with it's
flaunting design, with the flat edges, Nokia 6 (2018) doesn't feel comfortable
in the hands whereas Nokia 3 and 5 are more comfortable to hold with round
edges.
Apart from the attractive design, Nokia 6
(2018) specifications hold great things to line-up. In the front exterior, the 5.5
inch full HD display has been shielded with Corning Gorilla glass 3 that
resists the device from scratches as like Nokia 6. Moreover, the display renders sharp and crisp
quality of video viewing experience and lively reproduction of colors. But
being surrounded with thick bezels , you may feel so much of space is wasted
but then the display quality is cool and Nokia 6(2018) renders decent view
angles and there is no issue found in outdoor viewing too.
Nokia 6 (2018) has placed
the 3.5 mm headphone jack at the top. While Nokia 6 had its finger print
scanner in the front that doubled as Home Key, Nokia 6 (2018) has placed its
fingerprint scanner just below the rear camera. The new edition Nokia 6 (2018)
ignored the presence of capacititive keys which was there in Nokia 6. Instead
it goes for on-screen navigation that gets the user close to the stock Android User Interface The speakers in the base doesn't render a great quality of
audio but still when you plugging headphones or connect phone with external speakers, you can have a decent
audio experience.
In the digital era which has
been flooded with Android equipped smartphones, the HMD Global has brought in
Nokia 6, the predecessor of Nokia 6 (2018) as the first Nokia phone to be
powered with Android interface and that was a perfect which had been expected a
lot. And thus Nokia 6 2018 has been
reported to run over Android's Nougat 7.1.1 and has the powerful Snapdragon 630
processor accompanied by 4GB of RAM that paves way for an easier navigation and
a smooth performance except the times when graphically intensive tasks are
handled. For an enhanced performance, Nokia 6 (2018) is likely to get an
Android 8 Oreo update but the date is not certain.
Nokia 6 (2018)'s battery
that comes with the same 3000 mAh is quite a drawback when Nokia 6(2018) price
is taken into account. Eventhough the phone appears to be big in size than
Nokia 5, the battery size disappoints and not only the size, the power it
renders too disappoints. The phone kept in charge for 30 minutes will pull up
charge up to 10% only and if the phone has to be filled by the nominal amount
of 60% of charge, you have to wait for 3 long hours and it lasts only a single
day with normal usage. Nokia 6 review
tells that only when the device is left standby and used for occasional calls
and texting, the quicker battery drain can be avoided.
The camera specifications
about Nokia 6 (2018) are not so different from Nokia 6. You can see a 16 mp
rear camera with dual color LED flash and a 8 mp fixed front camera. Producing
clear enough and decent shots with good detailing, Nokia 6 (2018) carries a
newer feature called "Bothie" mode that you will enabled to click
photos in rear and front cameras simultaneously and can have it side by
side. This Bothie feature powered by
Dual Sight technology was earlier featured in the Nokia 8. Another great new
addition is the "OZO technology" which is an high-end audio recording
technology (3D audio recording) that enables the camera to capture high
resolution spatial audio and interprets it in a way that human ears hear. This will be a great change with the 2018
edition of Nokia 6.
To mention about the other
internal features of Nokia 6 (2018) , it has 32GB of internal storage that
gives plenty of space for your files and apps.
As mentioned in GSM arena website, Nokia 6 (2018) will be available in
64 GB variant with a different price. If
at all you need an extended memory space, it can be added through the micro SD
card that supports card up to 128 GB capacity.
Nokia 6 supports 4G connectivity and Wi-Fi that renders a speedier
internet surfing experience to the users.
Nokia 6 (2018) has been launched
in the recent past ie in the month of January and its first launch was in
China. Nokia 6 2018 price in the market is expected to be $230 for the 32 GB
variant and $260 for the 64 GB variant and it's launch date is expected to be
in the end of March or the beginning of April 2018.
Not seems to be an
all-rounder but still Nokia 6 (2018) is an ideal choice for users who expects a
phone to have an impressive outlook, bright-enough display and a decent camera
with bothie feature and the new OZO technology that performs quite well. Except
for the small battery and not so extraordinary performance, Nokia 6 (2018) can
be preferred for its 5.5 inch Full HD display which is all you need for an
extraordinary entertainment and so it's an extra benefit for any phone that
falls under its price category. Nokia 6 is an ideal Smartphone from the iconic
brand.
