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.

                  Hi taken Nokia 7 Plus is mutch better than Nokia x6

                    Incomplete review... there's no memtion of the selfie camera, and i/we would like to have actual lab test numbers bcoz the text is uttered according to the mood swings of the reviewer... some times he appreciates a bad display and some times he criticises when both phoes are in similar price bracket ! photo/video compare tool samples also missing....

In india if you do not have a phone with notch, its hard to sell... cause non-notch phones look pretty outdated! This is just a current trend... in few months we may see phones without notch and that will be trend. but as of now to survive in the market. You need a phone with notch!

                              Can someone explain me how it comes that this phone is better than regular 6.1 in most aspects yet is somehow cheaper?

I know they cannot do every single phone but the "X6" as I like to call it is bit special. Yes big Nokia fan. :)

                                  Nokia used to be a trendsetter but it's now a notch follower. Notch is not something awesome to be copied by other brands. Wake up !

                                    Seems like a really nice "Mobile Device", but the lack of notification LED and a small battery as of 2018 standards this wont make my top 5 list even. The Zonefone might.

                                      but don't forget this is the 1st time here in a review,
                                      as a Zenfone was mentioned, as a probably competitor . . .

                                      But why at 3rd place . . .
                                      none of the first mentioned Xiaomis has as much similarities,
                                      the same SoC, nearly stock Android and that together . . .

                                      But wait . . .
                                      "What it does add is a humongous 5000mAh battery, ..."

                                      Nice to see that,
                                      but - i think - the author doesn't even checked the specs of MPM1
                                      (the global version ZB602KL - with other specs - doesn't even listed here) ???

                                      so he/she totally forget to mention some other important things, such as
                                      - 3 Slots (real Dual SIM, Dual VoLTE),
                                      - much better display quality and settings,
                                      - NFC is optional,

                                      - charges 5000mAh in 2:40
                                      (why is that so strong criticized everywhere ???)
                                      here you can clearly see, that's not that bad. Nokia needs 2 hours for just 3000mAh)
                                      - you get more in box, etc

                                      "There is no clear winner here . . ."
                                      I don't think so,
                                      you just should make a real compare!
