Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) review

21 August 2018
Nokia’s return to the smartphone market with Android hasn’t exactly set the sales charts on fire, but the company has steadily been making progress, with a constant stream of new and relevant devices. The latest one we have today is the Nokia 6.1 Plus, an entrant in the ever-popular mid-range segment.

    Very bad experience; I will never buy from this company. My phone just crashed after warranty expired and it was not reparable. If anyone wants it you can contact me.

              I bought a Nokia 6.1 plus sadenly after a short while it stopped working and the spare parts are not accessible
              It's so embarrassing it's not like other types of phones up to now I have failed to get it's motherboard.!!!!!!!
              Are they still in existence or I just forego about it.

                                    Bought this phone new a couple of weeks ago (Oct 2020) from Mustafa Centre, Singapore. Model TA-1116. Was specifically looking for an Android One device.

                                    My previous Mi A2 lite had its screen smashed when it was accidentally dropped and landed on the edge of a staircase at work. Shattered glass was mostly intact with some fine sharp fragments and shards coming away. Didn't have tempered glass on it when it broke. Mi A2 lite glass is really sharp when broken, had to replace it immediately with a Nokia 4.2 because I needed a phone for work.

                                    Anyway back to the Nokia 6.1 Plus, I bought it to replace the Nokia 4.2 (which becomes my spare phone). I know it's not the latest model but it's an excellent phone for its price. Read the reviews on the potentially problematic USB C port, searched online in my area for magnetic charging cable, got myself two Baseus Zinc magnetic USB C cables that also supports data transmission. Initially wanted a Ugreen magnetic charging and data cable but couldn't find one locally (had to ship in from overseas).

                                    So far everything is great. Been updated several times since I got it, now running Android 10 and Sep 2020 security update. Using Google Camera (7.2.011.276470382) sideloaded from apkmirror, much better than the stock camera. If you find a good deal for this phone and don't mind the fact that it's not the latest, I recommend it. To be safe, get a magnetic charging/data cable to avoid repeated insertion and removal of the cable that would make the connector become faulty. Lesson learned, I now have a tempered glass screen protector on this phone as additional safeguard against screen shattering. This phone has Gorilla Glass 3 as well, compared to my Mi A2 which definitely has no Gorilla Glass whatsoever looking at how sharp the glass was when it shattered.

                                      The charging port is the main problem in this phone...I have two nokia phones in my house and both got massive issues within 1 year....

                                        I'm surprised about some comments here about the Nokia 6.1plus because, this is the BEST mid range phone I've ever used.
                                        I bought mine in June 2019, and I'm still using it till date (October 2020), without any complain/repair.
                                        To be honest, I'm marveled at the phone's capabilities and endurance considering the number of times I've mistakenly dropped it.
                                        Nokia lived up to their name in terms of toughness and class.
                                        Thumbs up Nokia/HMD Global for a job well done, Nokia 6.1plus is absolutely beautiful!
