Specifications

Hardware

The second-generation Nokia 6 is powered by the Snapdragon 630 microprocessor, an upgrade from the Snapdragon 430 present in its predecessor. Depending on the version, it either comes with 32 GB storage and 3 GB of LPDDR4 RAM or 64 GB storage and 4 GB of RAM.[6]

The display panel is a same 5.5" 1080p IPS LCD just like in the original, although the front bezels have been slimmed down and the capacitive navigation buttons and home button have been replaced with on-screen keys.[7]

The camera setup is also the same combination of 16 MP rear and 8 MP selfie found in its predecessor, and retains the "Bothie" feature, which uses both cameras and splits the screen in half to capture an image[8] or does picture in picture mode, showing the inwards camera in a small rectangle on top of the outwards camera, or vice versa.

One of the main changes is the replacement of the micro-USB port in favor of the reversible USB-C, as well as the shift of the fingerprint sensor to the rear of the device. It keeps the 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Nokia 6.1 also supports Nokia OZO audio.

Software

The phone was launched in China running Android 7.1.1 Nougat and was upgradable to Android 8.0 Oreo, Android 9 Pie followed by Android 10. All other versions, including the international one, which launched later, ship with Android 8.1 Oreo,[9] upgradeable to Android 9 Pie since the end of October 2018 and Android 10 since 10 January 2020.[10][11][12] It is part of the Android One program, which means the device gets 2 years Android OS updates and 3 years of security updates and therefore is upgradeable up to Android 10.

Reception

The Nokia 6.1 mostly received positive reviews. Holly Brockwell of TechRadar praised the phone’s software, design and screen while criticising the battery, camera and audio.[13]

gollark: I'm not sure about infinitely, but IIRC there's no per-computer limit.
gollark: RAM use.
gollark: It seems like the problem is some somewhat broken optimization, where `pcall` somehow directly executes the real `getfenv`, ignorant of environments, if you have a function which only (or something like that?) calls a builtin. Or possibly not only builtins.
gollark: I have a fix, but it would be mildly bad for `pcall` performance so I don't want to implement it...
gollark: That sounds hilariously inefficient and probably wouldn't fix it.
