Nokia Back from the Dead?



Nokia Back from the Dead?

Nokia 6 Review

Nokia the legend never dies, it might be a cliché but one cannot forget the glory days of Finish Company. The pre iPhone era Nokia was at top of the world. Nokia was ruling the smart phone world without any fear of competition. Then came the unexpected for not only Nokia but other mobile phone companies as well. A revolutionary device (iPhone), which not only changed our lives as a consumer but the lives of smart phone manufacture as well. 

Microsoft came into rescue they acquired the company's smartphone business in 2014. Lumia born and bred in Nokia’s backyard yet it never had that name, which made many people smile and connected.  

The day has come when Nokia is back from the Dead or should I say business. Thanks to Finnish start up HMD signing a 10-year deal to stick the Nokia name on smartphones and tablets, and the Nokia 6 is the current top dog in its initial line-up of four devices.

Nokia announced three new Andriod smartphone and the fourth the daddy of them all in terms of toughness 3310 reboot earlier this year at MWC2017. The exciting thing is that the main focus is on premium build, with affordable price tags and simple Ul.

The Phone In Question Is Nokia 6.

Following the trend the Nokia 6 comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, Snapdragon 430 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, a strong 16MP rear camera, a state of the art 8MP front camera, an efficient fingerprint scanner and a 3,000mAh battery.The best part is that all this inside in a premium aluminium body, which can handle all the torture test in the world. Off course it won’t survive if you want to run it over by your car.

Nokia 6 Review


The Price and Arrival Date

It has been two months since HMD announced Nokia 6. There is no firm Nokia 6 release date by HMD just yet. Early reports suggest that a roll out is expected during second quarter of 2017; which is April and June. 

Now here comes the price Nokia 6 price is €229, $240, £195. The price is fair and even bargain if you look at the specs you are getting for Nokia 6. There are other models to Nokia 6 as well which could cost a bit more compare to standard version.

Will Nokia 6 Survive? 

The New Nokia 6 looks like a really handy and affordable smartphone. You get decent spec with a premium design in somewhat low midrange price. 

The only major reservation about this device is its chipset. Snapdragon 430 is not the most powerful chipset out there and HMD could have done a bit more but then again it’s early days of Nokia’s return who knows what they might have in the bag for next device ?

Although Samsung Note 7 could have stolen that tittle if it wasn’t for the battery issue.  The year is 2017 and Samsung introduced Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are arguably the best looking phones of 2017 so far. For Samsung the pressure was on because the year 2016 ended pretty badly with the Note 7 fiasco for them, so 10 out 10 for Samsung for overcoming that and giving us the pinnacle of smartphone technology.   The Sa...
