NOKIA 6.1 PLUS DETAILED REVIEW & SPECIFICATIONS GENUINELY

Design and display:

Nokia 6.1 Plus is lighter than what we thought it would be. It easy to pull it out of your pockets and use it with just one hand. This in addition to a compact form factor delivers a good in-hand feel. It is not as long as Galaxy S series flagships nor is it as broad as Vivo Nex. Hence, it manages to deliver a neatly packed powerhouse that looks good.
What you get in terms of looks with the Nokia 6.1 Plus is an all-screen front, which we have seen enough in the market this year. The ‘notch’ unsurprisingly includes a speaker and a front-facing camera. There’s also a small chin below the screen, which shouldn’t be an issue for anyone

The Nokia 6.1 Plus is a slim device with a bezel-less display. It comes with 5.8inch IPS LCD display having a resolution of 1,080 x 2,280 pixels and a sharp pixel density of 435ppi that will deliver a crisp view. It has the aspect ratio of 19:9 which will maximise the display thereby making it look more admirable.

The screen has been protected by the Corning Gorilla Glass which will make sure it is not affected by any minor scratches.

Configuration:

The device is equipped with the octa-core processor (1.8GHz, quad-core, Kryo 260 + 1.6GHz, quad-core, Kryo 260) which has been provided upon the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset. The processing of it is handled by the Adreno 509 GPU combinedly, which can render fast performance. The presence of 4GB RAM will be enough for playing high-end games and to keep the multitasking go smoothly.

Camera and storage:

The device has an impressive pair of rear cameras having 16MP + 5MP lenses with dual-color LED flash, which will click bright and mesmerising images. At the front, there is a 16MP snapper which that can capture clear quality images which will delight selfie lovers. For the storage, it comes with an inbuilt space of 64GB. It also has a memory slot that can be expanded up to 400GB via microSD card.

Battery and connectivity:

The Nokia 6.1 Plus comes with a 3,060mAh Li-ion battery. It will render good backup for a moderate user. It is provided with a Quick Charging v3.0 which will refill the powerless time. For the connectivity, the device has 4G VoLTE support. Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11, Mobile Hotspot v5.0, A-GPS etc.

Verdict

The Nokia 6.1 Plus looks like a clear improvement over its predecessors. It has a great configuration that can take up any task and perform smoothly. The display quality will also delight users while watching movies and playing games. Just a better battery capacity could have made it an all-round performer in the mid-range.

Nokia 6.1 Plus no doubt seems like a near-complete smartphone when you look at it with the Rs 15,999 price tag. It is not just amidst one of the most competitive smartphone markets in the country but is also HMD Global’s one of the first attempts towards a smartphone with lesser bezels and more screen to body ratio. So as a first attempt the handset is not bad at all.
The smartphone has almost all the basic features on board along with pure Android experience, which brings it directly face to face against the fairly new Xiaomi Mi A2 smartphone. However, if you look at it as a standalone device, you get everything from a 19:9 aspect ratio screen, compact form factor, decent cameras, good battery life and external storage support. Android 9.0 Pie should come as a cherry on top if nothing else.
We are impressed with the handset and would recommend it straight away if you are looking for a pure Android smartphone that is not Xiaomi or Motorola. But with the above offering and the company’s active status in the OS update program, the Nokia 6.1 Plus for sure is a ‘notch’ above others for the time being.
