Specifications edit

Hardware edit

The Nokia 6 features a 16:9 5.5-inch Full HD display. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor and has a micro-USB port. It has a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera with autofocus.[7] The phone has either a single SIM slot or a hybrid SIM slot which can hold a Nano-SIM card and either a MicroSD card or another SIM card.[8]

Software edit

The Nokia 6 2017 version originally shipped with an unmodified version of Android 7.1.1 Nougat as opposed to modified versions which are used by most manufacturers; an update to Android 7.1.2 Nougat came out in October 2017.[9] In late January 2018, the stable version of Android 8.0 Oreo was released for the Nokia 6.[10][11] By March 28, 2018, the Android 8.1.0 Oreo Update came out with the March Security Patch. On February 21, 2019, the Nokia 6 received the Android 9 Pie update.

Release edit

The Nokia 6 was first released in China on January 20, 2017, shortly after its announcement. Demand was high, and it was sold out within minutes after receiving over a million registrations.[citation needed] On February 26, 2017, at Mobile World Congress 2017, it was announced that Nokia 6 will be available globally.[12] It was released in other Asian markets including Malaysia in May 30, 2017,[13] and has been rolled out in Europe starting June 2017.[14][15]

Reception edit

The Nokia 6 generally received positive reviews. John McCann of TechRadar praised the phone's camera, performance and affordability while criticising the "slow-to-charge" and uncomfortable design.[16]

TrustedReviews praised the phone's "solid battery life" and metal shell, while criticising the camera's performance in low lighting and mixed lighting.[17]
