And we fail all the time. Like the old variants, Nokia 6 (2018) is ahead in the race for the strongest smartphone of the year.

Review of Nokia 6
Many things have to be compromised due to the strong texture. At 8.5 millimeters thick, this smartphone is not the thinnest option. At the same time, wide borders at the top and bottom of the display also give the phone a light look. For a long time using a handheld phone was not an easy task. Because the phone is a bit wide.

 Review of Nokia 6 (2018) comes with three different two-tone finishes. Accent designs work on the edge of the rear camera and frame.

The Power and Volume buttons are easy to access. They found a place on the right bank. There is room for a hybrid dual SIM slot on the left edge. Regrettably, the user has to choose between another SIM card and microSD card.

Rear camera and dual LED flash are present in a line in the middle of the phone. Here is the branding of Zeiss. The fingerprint sensor has found a place under the camera setup. It's a little slow and doesn't respond very often. This is not easy to reach. During the review we were often touching the LED flash instead of the fingerprint sensor.

Nokia 6 (2018) Performance, Camera and Battery Life
Nokia 6 is a sleek and beautiful looking smartphone, but its power didn't go with the look. But after the Snapdragon 630 processor has arrived, the talk of Nokia 6 (2018) has become something else. During the review, we found that the phone performed every task very easily.

Nokia 6 (2018) did not suffer too much while playing a powerful game. Powerful games like Asphalt 8 also run on the phone without any hassle. The good thing is, Nokia 6 (2018) doesn't get too hot while playing a powerful game or recording full-HD video. We have done the benchmark testing of Nokia 6 (2018) and got honorable scores.

The colors on the 5.5-inch LCD screen look punchy and the brightness is even higher. However, the viewing angles could have been better.

In our experience the call quality was also good. 4G connectivity was strong even in areas with weak networks. We were disappointed to find only one speaker at the bottom. In last year's Nokia 6, stereo speakers were given. The quality of the sound is average and the speakers fall under the palms when using the phone in landscape mode. The earphones given together are of very average quality.

Last year, HMD Global tried to give stock Android to smartphones to give its phone a different identity. Now the company has been supportive of Google's Android One program. Because of this there is no spam app in Nokia 6 (2018). You will find a feature called Glance Screen which shows the missed call, alarm and mail or message notifications in the lock screen. HMD Global has promised that Nokia 6 will get the update of Android P this year and Android Q next year.

Nokia 6 (2018) comes with built in face recognition. Face Unlock works fine in sufficient light. But in low light and sunlight it is difficult.

In our HD video loop test, the Nokia 6 (2018) battery lasted 11 hours 45 minutes. It should be appreciated. In daily use, the battery supported for more than a day. In our test Nokia 6 (2018) phone battery is charged 40% in 30 minutes.

Nokia 6 (2018) cameras
Camera performance of Nokia 6 (2018) is like 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum'. Despite the Zeiss optics, the performance has not improved in low light. The photos taken from the 16-megapixel rear camera in low light have noises and the lack of detail is also evident. Is. In contrast to lightening conditions, autofocus also weakens.

In sufficient light the camera performs with staggering light. In most cases it manages to capture the right exposure and captures the pictures with detail. Even with enough light in indoor, the photos came with Crisp and Detail. Dual-LED flash helps capture photos. Color reproduction is not the strongest aspect of this phone.

The good thing is that it has a powerful professional mode. It will help you control exposure, ISO, shutter speed, white balance and autofocus. By changing the settings we were able to get accurate colors. We hope Nokia will improve auto mode through software updates.

The 8-megapixel front camera offers strong performance when there is enough light. In fact, it is much better than last year's Nokia 6 selfie sensor. When the light is low, the quality of the pictures also falls. And it has no front flash.

In Nokia 6 (2018) you will be able to capture photos or video from the rear and front camera simultaneously. Bothy mode is a work feature. Sadly, in this mode the quality of the photos being taken from the front and rear cameras is poor.

Our decision
The build quality of Nokia 6 (2018) is superb. Performance is low and battery life is good. At the same time, Android One OS comes with a guarantee of software updates. Nokia brand has always been known for making strong phones. Nokia 6 (2018) is no exception. Even though it is not the most beautiful phone to look at, it is extremely capable.

Review of Nokia 6(Price)
This does not mean that everything is good in Nokia 6 (2018). You won't get the 18: 9 display, which is trending these days. Rear camera performance in low light is not very good and color reproduction in auto mode is not accurate. The biggest challenge for this phone is the Redmi Note 5 Pro, which starts at Rs 14,999. It is equipped with 18: 9 display and better hardware. At the same time, the Redmi Note 5 Pro does not have stock Android and is available for Nokia 6 (2018)
