Nobody seems to mention the absolutely horrible RAM management. 3GB of RAM and yet you can't keep two apps running at the same time,they load again when you switch. Hell, i can't even keep two browser tabs open. The phone is set to kill processes aggressively, making the big amount of RAM completely useless.
I've been using this phone for two years and each update since Oreo broke it even more. I had to endure horrible battery drain when idle, random app crashes and many more for one year. Android 10 fixed some things, but the phone's RAM management and overall speed were never the same. Specs are good, software is a piece of trash. "Pure" android my butt, with loads of stupid things added to it.

Maybe it is a problem with my own phone's hardware, but the volume and power buttons keep breaking. Battery also drains really fast. I had to get battery changed as well as buttons repaired not 6 months ago, yet it is giving problems again. Camera quality is fine for me since I'm no professional. But buttons are giving an unacceptable amount of problems with no warning (they stopped working suddenly).

For 3 years we been buddies at work and at play.
Never let me down. I use this phone in my inspection jobs and the camera helped me get credible reports. Charger is really fast.

I regret I didnt search all reviews abt this phone. Its terribile. I have it by 3 weeks, even the old phones I kept works better(nokia 113 and huawei 560).Its stuck (i have to reset) ,black screen(i escape with reset)sound is awfull during calls(hear crackers), radio is not working at all (all frequences sound fffssffss -with headseat or loudspeaker-same noise), camera has no autofocus (i have to step back and move hands to find the focus,pics with biggest resolutin has no cristal shape.I have to take with me old phones ,just in case the Nokia let me down.Very weird is I recharge same:every day i complete the battery (not full empty) all 3 phones. This nokia has 3000 mah but is not any difference . Very disappointed,not more Nokiia . I have version TA-1043 with Zeiss camera (pff).On one pic i saw some white waves and i am sure was not from sun or some reflection outside, i guess this phone can not handle some angles for pics,. I contact nokiaservice in email and i got 2 advices: nr1 send back,nr 2:reset factory.I did but during reset factory was stuck;I give up; reset and try again and now i got the message 'cant reset to factory'.Very very dissapointed.Updates was all in short time:to android 10 and few (3 or 4) for fix ; the last was with dated dec 2020.Is not working better, .My old phone keep the battery exactly like in first day, good pics , rarely some lag but is not bothering knowing is old but it save me .No more Nokia.

You will see how fast your phone runs after changing the battery, just like a new phone. In 2020 it's still really fast. Just don't expect to play high-games on it :)

I've had my 6.1 for 18 months and everything about it is perfect, design, durability and it has maintained it's battery life very well. I think the person who posted this negative review is a paid troll.

Kaycee, 28 Feb 2020It's a complete software disaster, will never buy a Nokia p... moreVery dissapointed , I have it by 1 week. This phone is a crap, I cant believe Nokia sell this. If 2 h and 20 min for charging 3000mah battery means' fast charging' for nokia, they are amateurs.. Is not worth 100$ , The cameras are worth th an old 2g nokia, pic without shape, with no focus,the noise durring calls is annoying ,the settings are become from factory settings if the phone is not using,(over night,or 1 hour not using).The upgrade to Android 10 took 5 days,very slow,With wifi-modem the nokia is so slow, On y2b is crasshing video,After uograded to Android 10 ,remained only 890 MB free space (with no other app downloaded).Very dumbest device, very poor, is not worth 100$ (i trying to return but the bg site it refuzing ) Do NOT buy this device , not even if will be 50$.Waste of time and waste of money. With these kind of devices,nokia brand will die soon

RishiGuru, 15 Sep 2020HMD Global from its onset had an ambition to set new standa... morehaha very glad to read that. The phone feels and works fine to me, OTOH I don't play games on it so YMMV. What you said is exactly what I hoped for when picking this prestigious brand. I found out HMS Global was situated right across the street from the old Nokia factory and that sold me. I'm glad it worked out, and sad they couldn't keep up since then. Thanks for the info dude. I do love this phone.
Only drawback? Can't find a good case for it to save my life. Only cheap ones are available. A pain!

I bought a 6.1 in 2019. I bought it because of the build quality that the reviews praised. I indeed loved the phone, except for the fingerprint reader which is too picky and often fails to unlock the phone. After just 1 year the right side of the display began to turn yellowish in a half-circle shape. Now it has spread also to the left side. Sad...

Pros: built like a tank
Snappy performance till today
Great hardware
18w charging
Great earpiece
Cons: I have to change the battery within 1 year of use because of the frequent restarting problem
The software updates are always buggy
Worst camera processing(I got better photos while using gcam)
Noise issue while taking long exposure shots
Hmd global didn't allow us to unlock the bootloader
Sharp edges makes pain in hands
Ram management is not that great
