Nokia 6, 5 and 3 hands-on: A closer look

02 March 2017
We keep hearing “these aren’t real Nokias!” in reference to the Android-running trio. To that we’d like to say: that’s not entirely true and it doesn’t entirely matter either. Yes, technically, these are HMD phones wearing the Nokia brand.

        They recently fired 85℅ staff here so I'm not sure about their support. Also no headphone jack kills it for me. My senheiser momentum are calling me. Also eui vs stock android is no contest. Processor isn't only component of a device

            Nokia is really trying hard to keep up now since they had been left out, I'd go for Huawei or Xiaomi on this.

                  These phones are real Nokia as real can get:

                  HMD Global Oy, branded as simply HMD, stylized as hmd., is a Finnish company that develops smartphones and tablets, and owns the rights to sell all types of "Nokia" branded phones and tablets. It was formed in May 2016 by buying Microsoft Mobile's feature phone business and the rights to use the "Nokia" brand until 2024, along with a licensing agreement with Nokia. The sale was completed in December 2016.

                  The company is headed by CEO Arto Nummela, and is headquartered in Espoo near Helsinki, in front of Nokia's headquarters. HMD is made up of veteran Nokia staff, and develop smartphones and tablets running on the Android platform. Manufacturing and distribution is outsourced to Foxconn's FIH Mobile division. Whilst Nokia itself does not directly invest in HMD, it has a board member representative, sets mandatory requirements, and receives royalty payments for patents.

                  BTW, most of the phones these days are manufactured in China, Taiwan and India.

                    In my life I have not bought anything from Alibaba, ALIEXPRES, etc. nor one to buy. Nokia is at a crossroads. if can not find the right way, will disappear from the smart phone market.
                    At Nokia must think for the future not the past. Today the world is more interested in gadgets, entertainment, adventure, etc. and search products simple, beautiful, aesthetic, performance, etc. and of course, at a price as more low possible. That brought me out in my message in the previous comment. How about mate, it is as I say, or not? This mix that makes it Nokia, between old and new, is not successful.
                    Best regards.

                      They don't look bad, they just look out of the loop. This would have been a great phone design three years ago.

                        Ladies and gentlemen, the return in one form or another,the company that produced some exceptional handsets, namely NOKIA, it bodes well for all fans of smartphones.
                        Me being a guy uncompromising, curious, etc.
                        I made a comparison between LeEco Pro 3 and Nokia 6. To see the strengths and weaknesses of the two phones. Thus present table below with comparative specifications :
                        LeEco Pro 3 Nokia 6
                        Display IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors =idem

                        1080p@30fps, 720p@120fps
                        Secondary=8 MP, f/2.2, Secondary=8 MP, f/2.0, 1.12 µm pixel size, 1080p
                        1.4 µm pixel size, 1080p
                        Loudspeaker=Yes, with stereo speakers=idem
                        3.5mm jack=No 3.5mm jack =Yes
                        The above are the main characteristics that give the value of a phone.
                        I made a comparison between cameras, and are nearly identical in general, with a little extra for LeEco. Regarding how the design looks like two phones, LeEco has a modern design and 'old' design tints keeps Nokia, with small changes today.
                        So the answer comes naturally, the young and middle-aged prefer LeEcoPro3 and the elderly, will prefer Nokia 6.

                          aatif khan, 03 Mar 2017Nokia has a bright future. With Google moving to Pixel line... more*NOKIA can lead the market segment for affordable vanilla Android experience

                            Nokia has a bright future. With Google moving to Pixel lineup premium offering, the gap left over for vanilla Android experience of Nexus line needs a substitute.
                            With vanilla Android only Motorola and Nokia are options. Again with good update policy NOKIA can lean the market.

                            Only one caution is to avoid Mediatek SoC. For economy segment they should prefer SD 200 series SoC but not mediatek.
