Nokia 6

by HMD Global

The Nokia 6 is a good enough device for a lot of people, but not for everyone. It’s a pity there are few misses here and there that makes it stop short of being an overall well-rounded package that one would’ve liked it to be.

Before HMD Global unveiled the Nokia 8,the Nokia 6 was the highest spec’d smartphone from the company, a company which describes itself as a startup but that carries the strong legacy of the Nokia brand. It was one of the three Nokia-branded Android smartphones (along with the Nokia 3 and Nokia 5) first launched by the company.

The Nokia 6 is essentially a mid-range smartphone that aims to offer a great Android experience instead of competing on the specifications sheet. Since it was first unveiled at MWC 2017 in February – but only went on sale only in the second half of the year – the innards are a tad dated compared to what else is on the shelves at the moment.

Does the Nokia 6 deliver on its promise of a capable mid-ranger with a pure and up-to-date Android experience? Let’s find out!
