    Nokia immortal once again as ever it was.
    Its a reborn hero.
    Instead of that superexpensive apple which breaks easily and cost you a fortune to repair.

          Anonymous, 05 Jan 2018Nokia 6 2018 is for you then!Hopefully it might be the perfect phone for my needs.
          I wish HMD Global won't increase the phone's price to the point of being overpriced.

          I want Nokia 6 2018 to be Nokia 6 with better SoC (also leads to better performance), better screen quality (at least about 2 Average DeltaE with about 550nits max brightness and 0.4nits black at 100% brightness, with below 1 nit with minimum), better camera (the Nokia 6 has disappointed me, hope the successor will be superior), and better battery life (put a 4000mAh battery inside there even if it means the phone needs to be 9mm thick).
          Keep the rest of the original Nokia 6 to be the same, especially the Dolby Atmos speaker and superb headphone jack output (clean output with at least above average loudness on both headphones and amplifier).

          Price of $350 and I'll buy it in a heartbeat

              Agreed... I use Nokia 6 and my son and myself have dropped it more than 50 times, still nothing except for some bruises on metal frame

                      [deleted post]Nope, the Xperia is one of the easiest one to repair
                      One can open either the screen or the back panel to replace the screen or the battery without touching other components

                          Durability should include the electronics inside. With Ball Grid Array packaging, the solder joints tend to crack easily in today's thin & portable devices. So who has the best quality electronic components inside?

                                I will get the Nokia 6 if it only had SD625 instead of SD430 and get the camera much better (I don't like Xiaomi, but the Mi A1 honestly beats this phone's camera).

                                  [deleted post]As if telling that old and boring joke will help your phone beat our Xperia XZ Premium's dual front stereo speakers and 4K HDR screen with excellent brightness, contrast, sharpness, and color accuracy/reproduction anyway.

                                  And we call that 3.5mm hole on the top of the phone as the "headphone jack" in case you have forgotten its name. It's nothing special really. It just offers 24-bit Hi-Res audio that provides unmatched audio quality, and not to mention its convenience by having the ability to listen to music with earphones/headphones and charge the phone at the same exact time.
