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.

Nokia 5 and 6 is best choice. Glad to see gsmarena explain the truth of Nokia Phone now. "We keep hearing "these aren't real Nokias!", we'd like to say: that's not entirely true and it doesn't entirely matter either. " :) Nokia/HMD is Finnish company, not Chinese. you got it?

          Why do they all have such limp-wristed CPUs?

            Nokias phones were made in Finland! These HMD phones have no better, or worse, buildquality than any Chinese... phone maker! The company is HMD, not Nokia, so it is not Nokia! HMD just want to make money on the Nokia brand, while using hardware that any company can buy, and free untouched, lazy HMD, Android!

              -DEXTER, 02 Mar 2017this is not nokia , this is only Chinese phonesName 1 phone not made of something from Asia. Good luck ;-)

                Name 1 phone brand that is fully the brand. IPhone is powered by Samsung. Samsung is powered by Sony. Huawei is powered by Leica and so on. So no phone is actually fully the brand of the name on it.

                  How about the 3000mAh Battery is it going to be enough to run this phone for a day?

                    Wow. Good report. The 6 seems such a fantastic offering. Very satisfying. Nokia have class when it comes to sturdy build and all reports talk well of its look and feel. If I was after a flagship this year. I would not buy anything till checking out the Nokia flagship debut. Can only imagine how nice that will be.

                      OKAY, 02 Mar 2017I was happy that GSMArena explained this on the very first ... moreIt stuns me everytime man. I too was extremely grateful that GSMArena explained away the "Chinese Nokia" thing in the intro. That was such a satisfying read.

                      Having said that, I can't to get my hands on a Nokia 6. The SD430 doesn't seem slow at all in the YouTube videos that I've seen.

                                    Nokia 6 does seem promising. Will keep any eye out. Hope 430 will be enough for daily tasks.
