Nokia 6 32 GB / 3 GB
 |
 |
The long-awaited return of the eminent brand to the modern market. Rivals to the smartphone are devices of the middle price category. Against their background, Nokia Model 6 is not running the most powerful Snapdragon 430 chip in its class. Otherwise, the hardware is at the level — 3 GB of RAM is allocated to help the processor, and 32 GB of permanent memory is allocated to the user.
The expansion of memory is carried out by sacrificing one of the SIM — a microSD card is inserted into the hybrid slot. The software shell of the gadget is represented by the Android 7.1 OS version. The body of the device is finished with metal and rounded 2.5D glass on the front panel, under which there is a 5.5-inch FullHD display. The gadget has a slight bias towards mobile photography — the 8 MP front camera can take high-quality selfies, and the 16-megapixel main module is built on a matrix with an increased pixel size to improve image quality when shooting in low light conditions.
The transition of the Nokia brand under the wing of HMD Global marked the revival of the name of the once most popular mobile phone manufacturer. One of the first signs of the reincarnated legend was the Nokia 6 model.
Conflicting feelings
A close acquaintance with a smartphone leaves behind twofold impressions. On the one hand, high-quality components were used to assemble the device, which are enclosed in a strong aluminum case. According to reviews, the phone can easily withstand falls, but the “shock resistance” column in its technical specifications remains blank. On the other hand, the smartphone does not have the latest hardware - an entry-level Snapdragon 430 chip coupled with 3/4 GB of RAM and 32/64 GB of permanent memory, as well as Adreno 505 graphics.
Performance
Despite the fact that many competitors in the class are equipped with more advanced hardware, Nokia 6 still does not fall behind in terms of performance - the stock Android 7.1 operating system with the possibility of further updating to the Oreo version has an effect. In everyday work, applications load quickly, and stuttering occurs only when launching “heavy” games. However, they will also work at medium-low graphics settings.
FullHD screen
The owners of the model receive the greatest number of flattering words for the high-quality 5.5-inch FullHD display. Yes, the frames around it cannot be called small, but they look harmonious and do not stand out from the general design style of the mobile gadget, emphasizing the brutal features of its character. Under the screen there was a place for a fast fingerprint sensor that protects personal data from unauthorized access.
Photo capabilities
The cameras on board the Nokia 6 are represented by a 16-megapixel main photo module and a front camera with a resolution of 8 MP. Decent pictures can be taken with their help in daylight; as the quality of illumination deteriorates, the likelihood of blurring in photographs increases, since there is neither an optical nor a digital stub in the camera arsenal. Shooting in HDR mode allows you to extract more details from a photo; by the way, it is quite leisurely. But what else a smartphone is strong in is the sound of external speakers - the earpiece is used to create a stereo effect when playing music. In general, the device looks more expensive than it actually costs, and leaves a positive impression, delighting brand followers with a worthy comeback.
