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.

I wish the output via the 3.5mm Jack was tested :(

    I have been using this phone for almost a month now. Look wise the phone has a premium finish and light weight too. Camera in day light looks good but not that best in low light conditions. The main cons i am facing are with regards to slow charging. Its takes about 3-4 hours for a full charge from 10%. Even when i use 3.0 smart charger the charging time is the same. Had issued with over heating in the initial days. But that problem has been solved now after some updates.

        Maybe the author is a little to hard. Got it for 200 euros imy country.
        For this price you get:

        Pure Android experience 3 years support from Google
        Compact ergonomic design , very solid in hand and well designed
        Very efficient SOC, the 636 really is a joy to use in everyday life, handles all tasks no hassle
        64GB storage and micro SD support , 4GB of RAM
        USB C quick charge 3.0

        I mean for this price what could you possibly want more?
        The crappy UI from Xiaomi? Common be serious for once .
        Thanks Nokia HMD for deliver such a nice product

                          I was looking forward to Nokia 6.1 plus moving to dual standby with dedicated mem card slot. Current configuration is too limiting memory wise.

                                The review said sound quality was an issue. Whats the quality like for calls - especially on speaker?

                                  Anupam Majumder, 25 Sep 2018I am using Nokia 6.1 Plus for the last 5 days and I can ass... moreAre you sure? For me, the picture quality in gcam and default cam app doesn't show any difference. Still I couldn't see sharp snaps or videos. Can you share the link from where you get the gcam installable?

                                    [ One month user feedback of Nokia6.1+ || THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY ] I think the olden classic phones made by Nokia is entirely different than today's theirs smart-phones. Previously they were designing their circuits, own radio design, battery etc. But today those are not required since the heart of the smart-phone chipsets are made by Qualcomm or Mediatek. The software is also done fully by google in the name of android-one. So, what is nokia's part in this product? They has to select the right peripheral components and integrate those properly, that's all. To do that also, nokia failed or what? :o . People are buying a branded smart-phone for high cost to enjoy good quality of calls, good camera, good battery etc. Here, I am facing the problem in call itself in my nokia 6.1 +. While calling to opposite party, once she/he picks-up the call, the call got established. But no voice communication from both the ends and simply I am loosing money for the call. This is not happening with all the phones and I don't know how to find out the issue? Second thing, the camera images are not giving good quality images / videos, I can say those are not sharp enough. I am a rare camera user, but on my family touring or function, I am shooting the videos / images for our memorable memories. I used to store all the captured snaps and videos into my hard-drive and used to watch on TV. There I am seeing the quality loss / jerking of video frames, grains in video. Third thing, the battery. I am not a gamer or movie watcher. This battery is not with standing at-least for 24 hours. I don't know what kind of components Nokia designed / brought from their vendors and made this product? I feel Nokia support is useless here. I send email and no reply, try to catch them in a on-line chat. That person is replying 15 minutes once. When do I communicate my problem with them.? Over all, I am not happy with this product. I was very happy with my previous Asus Zenfone2 Laser. That 13MP camera quality is much better than this nokia's 16+5MP camera. That UI was excellent and user friendly, here no UI at all. Think twice or try to get the phone from existing friends to get feel, before you buy this Nokia 6.1+ product.
