In the end, did the Nokia 6 live up to our expectations Yes, it did. It's well-built, looks good, performs well, and the software is often updated. This is basically the closest we can get to an Android One or a Pixel phone in terms of software benefits.

Beautiful design; Good camera performance; Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box; Lasting battery life

Expensive (for now; Limited LTE band support

. If you're considering both as your next handset, we've got all the details of how the specs compare and how to decide between the two. The Nokia phone looks a fair bit like the old Lumia handsets, but thankfully without the luminous lime and orange colourways. In fact, the colours are lovely.

The ad isn't too obnoxious, right The breaks in the silver border are a sleekly disguised antenna. If you are looking for a budget-priced Android phone that doesn't feel like a budget phone and that doesn't come loaded with a lot of carrier installed bloatware, the Nokia 6 is a great option.

HMD Global takes the plunge. After debuting at the MWC in February, one of Nokia's three smartphone newcomers has finally arrived on the US market. For now, the Nokia 6 is the most high-end model offered by the brand, and its price, around $230, is a declaration of war on the competition.

Chipset too weak; Bad multitasking; Noticeably slow charging

One wonders what Nokia's fate would have been had they have adopted Android when it was first available a number of years ago. Nokia chose a different path and the brand has been on quite a journey ever since.

Of the three phones Nokia launched earlier this year (The Nokia 3 , 5 and 6), the Nokia 6 ( $229.00 at Amazon.com ) is the star. But at only £220 (or $180 in the US, with Amazon's ads appearing on the lockscreen), it's still affordable.

The underpowered processor makes the phone sometimes frustrating to use

Out of everything that the 6 has to offer there were really only the two negative points that reared up at me during testing. The camera which has already been mentioned and at times, the lack of CPU made load times on apps noticeably longer than on other devices I've recently used.

I have been waiting for a new Nokia for years! It's a great phone but unfortunately not as robust as the old Lumia 925. Cracked the screen on this one in my handbag (admittedly my own fault), but the old 925 had survived 5 years of similar treatment without incident.

First and foremost, this is a budget-friendly phone. It's better than a cheap $50 Tracfone and will certainly give you a better experience (and will probably work for most than 6 months) but it's still a little underwhelming, even at its lower price point.

The most expensive model of Nokia's new smartphone trio distinguishes itself from the Nokia 3 and the Nokia 5 with its larger form factor and 5.5-inch Full HD display. The working memory and internal storage also received an upgrade, being more generous at 3 GB and 32 GB respectively.
