MSP SCORE
Pros
The Nokia 6.1 Plus offers a solid build with premium aesthetics in a comfortable form factor. It comes with one of the best LCD displays we have seen on a smartphone. The phone offers stock Android without any bloatware. It is capable of decent imaging, especially in bright conditions. The overall price-to-performance of this device is superb.
Cons
The software on the Nokia 6.1 Plus has been poorly optimized. The low-light selfie performance could have been better. While the phone does offer 4K video recording with its rear camera, the resulting videos are highly unstable and shaky. Furthermore, the device heats up while gaming.
Verdict
The Nokia 6.1 Plus is an excellent offering from the Finnish brand. At such a low price point, you get premium build, an amazing display, consistent performance, and stock Android UI. The small form factor of the device helps contributes to improved ergonomics where one-handed use is easily possible. The camera performance is also decent most of the time with some minor issues during low-light situations. Battery life is average and will suffice for a single day of use. While the Nokia 6.1 Plus can be a good option, the Motorola One Power can be a better choice for those looking for significantly better battery life.

The mobile that takes care of all your concerns.
By hk_patnaik, 44 months ago
A real value for money. Perhaps we do not get such a complete package product at such a price. It covers all aspects like the look, the metal cover edging over plastic cover, the 64GB memory with 4GB RAM dispelling the storage concern, the 13-megapixel rear camera with 5-megapixel on the front, the fingerprint security feature, and many more features. It makes it adorable. It will be a great success in India under the price range of Rs.15,000.(read more)
