Weekly poll results: Nokia 6 will sell, sell, sell, unless you want a better chipset
It’s no secret that the Nokia 6 is a fan favorite. We polled our readers and nearly a third of them said they will buy it in a heartbeat if it becomes available in their region. Still, this model has one fatal flaw - surprisingly, it’s the chipset!
We were sure the camera would get more votes - Nokia was known for its ridiculously good (and sometimes just ridiculous) cameras, not so much for its fast chipsets. And yet half of voters said they will wait for a Nokia with a better chip.
Still, many in the comments came to the defense of the Snapdragon 430, saying it’s fast enough and better than some of the older Snapdragon 6xx chipsets. While that’s true for the 615, we were hoping for at least a 625. That one is built on a 14nm process (the 430 is on 28nm) and supports 2160p video capture, even if you don’t care for the improved performance of the CPU and GPU.
