The Nokia 6.1 Plus: A Device Worth Considering for Its Features and Price

There is a noise cancellation microphone sitting up top or with the 3.5 mm headphone jack, so the headphone jack location I think is also really ideal. This positioning allows users to simply pop on their headphones and slide this phone into their pocket without any issues. The average screen on time of the device is about 5 to 6 hours, depending on how the user staggers their usage. Whether it's continuous usage or a full day's battery life without any problems, the Nokia 6.1 Plus delivers.

The company is also promising up to 50% of battery life with just 30 minutes of charge using the included USB Type-C charger. This is a good thing overall when it comes to battery life, and users won't be disappointed with this device.

Now, let's talk about cameras. The cameras on the phone are pretty impressive, with HDR mode as standard. However, sometimes they can struggle to focus, which might be something of a software glitch that could be easily fixed with a software update from the company. The camera app is extensive and a bit difficult to navigate through initially, but once you get used to it, you'll be able to do more with the device.

The phone also features a "Boaty" mode, which allows users to capture video from both the front and rear cameras simultaneously. This feature might not have gained much popularity yet, but it can come in handy for bloggers or anyone who likes to capture video on the go and needs to show their viewers what they're doing.

Additionally, the phone can be used to live stream to YouTube as well as Facebook, which might appeal to those who enjoy doing this. The camera itself manages to get good amounts of light even in low-light environments, and the images are sharp with good contrast and saturation.

One area where the device struggles is with focus. This could be simply fixed with a software update, but for now, it's something users need to keep in mind. However, the phone does offer features like sticker application, beauty mode on both front and rear cameras, and bouquet mode (or portrait mode), which are popular among smartphone users.

The Nokia 6.1 Plus is surprisingly well-made, with an extremely lightweight design that feels comfortable in the hand and is easily usable with one hand. This makes it a great device for everyday use.

However, if you're looking for a pure performance hardware spec comparison, this device might not hold its own against more expensive options like the Poco F1, which offers Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 and six gigabytes of RAM, among other features. For sixteen thousand rupees, there's limited competition, but if you can spend another four to five thousand rupees, the Poco F1 becomes a better option.

Despite this, for its price bracket, the Nokia 6.1 Plus is a pretty good option. It looks great, performs decently well, and has good cameras. The software is stock Android, which makes it appealing to some users. However, compared to other devices in the same price range, like the Me A2 or even more expensive options like the Poco F1, this device might not stand out.

For those looking for a reliable smartphone with great features and a reasonable price tag, the Nokia 6.1 Plus is definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys what's up this is worth you're watching I again and today we are reviewing the Nokia 6.1 plus so let's quickly get started but to be quite honest ever since Nokia came back with HMD the nokia 6.1 plus is the kind of device I was expecting from the company the phone is well priced it has a good amount of specifications for the price and is extremely well made and durable to start off with the design the phone does have a notch display which to the liking or disliking of many has become a reality for most smartphones in 2018 you do have a glass front and a glass back and a vertically placed dual camera layout on the back with nice chrome accents that makes the device look extremely a premium you do get a slight bit of bump thanks to the camera layout and on the back you can also see the Android one branding which means that this is a Android one device which has its pros as well as a few cons if you look around the device you will see that the frame of the phone is in a matte finish but the buttons have a nice metallic finish along with Shaam furred edges that make the buttons and the overall device look extremely premium as well now the front despite the notch has a considerable amount of chin at the bottom which does house the nokia branding you also do have a fair bit of top and side bezel but if you look at the device closely you don't really notice that that much of the bezel is there the display in itself is a Full HD Plus display with a 5.8 inch size and in nineteen is the nine aspect ratio hiding in the notch is a 16 megapixel front-facing camera and it does have an f/2 aperture the bottom of the phone does have a USB type-c port a speakerphone and a microphone nicely laid out in a really nice symmetrical design over the right is where your power and volume buttons sit and the phone continues to get a 3.5 mm headphone jack despite its 7.9 thickness if you include the camera bump the overall thickness of the phone is eight point five nine millimeters the phone is also lightweight and it weighs in only at 151 grams the six point one plus is priced at fifteen thousand nine hundred and ninety nine and is available on Flipkart I leave a link to buying it in the description below for those who are interested for this price you do get Android one out of the box which allows the phone to get quicker updates as far as Android updates are concerned so this will be one of the first devices hopefully to get Android 9 when it starts officially rolling out on to devices which will be soon after the pixel 3 or pixel 3 excels official launch now from a day-to-day performance aspect because the device is running more or less stock Android you will find that the phone is extremely responsive and extremely easy to use the size of the phone also makes it easy to handle with one hand although if you do have really tiny or compact hands you may find it slightly difficult to navigate around this phone owing to the fact that the phone does have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6:36 chipset inside which is an octa-core 1.8 gigahertz chipset the phone manages to get a pretty good amount of work done from what this chipset is actually capable of on benchmarks you free scores upwards of one hundred and eleven thousand on antutu or one like eleven thousand you see similarly good scores on apps like Geekbench now if you're gaming you'll find that it will manage to play all games but by default will set the graphics to the lowest because that's what the chipset is capable of doing you can't go around and tweak the graphics and still find a pretty decent gaming experience from the phone but I would not pack this as one of the best gaming experiences especially in this price bracket where a lot more options now are available you will find this slightly lacking when it comes to gaming performance and capability now as you see the knotch there is an option to disable that knotch if that's something that you're looking for I would have liked to see some sort or gestures available on the device those unfortunately are not available and installing third-party apps also has not allowed me to play around with the gestures on the device so you will continue to see navigation until there is official support for gestures which we should see with Android 9 now by default the phone does have a foggy byte of RAM and 64 gigabyte of on-board storage and is available only in the two colors the black that you see we have and there is also a blue color that is available the phone call capability is quite robust we found networks to work really well on the nokia 6.1 so you'll not be struggling with network capability on this device or the speaker or the earpiece all of these things are really loud and the microphone picks up your audio really well there is a noise cancellation microphone sitting up top or with the 3.5 mm headphone jack so the headphone jack location I think is also really ideal so if you pop on your headphones and slide this phone into your pocket the headphone jack comes at a convenient place on an average we found that the screen on time on the device is about 5 to 6 hours depending on how you stagger this you will either get 5 hours of continuous usage or about a full days of battery life without any problem on the nokia 6.1 + the company is also promising up to 50% of battery life with 30 minutes of charge using the included charger which is a USB type-c charger which is a good thing overall as far as battery life is concerned we are not

it's a little difficult to understand and navigate through in initially but once you sort of get used to it you'll be able to do more of what you are doing with the device the phone also features a

that much but is a feature that Nokia continues to sell on their devices and is a feature that can really come in handy for certain people especially bloggers or anybody who likes to capture video on the go can also talk about what they're showing to their viewers it can be an interesting way to sort of get this going with the booty mode you can also live stream to YouTube as well as to Facebook which is again something that a lot of people may enjoy if that is something that they like doing the camera in itself manages to get good amounts of light even in low-light environments of the images are sharp contrast is good and saturation is almost always on point so no complaints as such with the camera capability focus has been something that we've struggled with a little bit and like I said that could be simply fixed with a software update now you do have the ability to apply stickers you do have a beauty mode on the main camera as well and on the front camera as well as on the main camera you do get a bouquet mode or a portrait mode which is something a lot of people like these days the phone manages to capture edges of the subject really well and you'll find that background blur even though seems made by software with which it is is a pretty good and pretty usable especially for social media if you're going to be uploading pictures to Instagram and Facebook etc you won't really notice too much noise or too much traction from the bouquet you'll find that it will find the edges really well and give you a good overall result with the camera now the nokia 6.1 is surprisingly well made it's extremely lightweight ooh feels really comfortable in the hand and is easily usable with one hand so I'd say it hits the sweet spot when it comes to usage and handle ability now for a price of 16 thousand rupees it doesn't offer too much on the specs Department especially if you start comparing it with devices like the poco f1 which offer up Qualcomm Snapdragon

irrelevant for you but if you are looking for a phone in this price bracket the nokia 6.1 is a pretty good option it looks really nice it performs decently well it's not the best gaming phone so you won't get the best hardware performance from this cameras are good the software is good you will get quick software updates it is stock Android which makes me like this phone a little bit more but like I said from a specification point of view this sort of dwindles in front of devices like the poco f1 and even I guess the me a2 which does offer up stock Android and slightly better performance
