What to Expect?
• Design and Display
The Nokia 6 is a brilliantly designed mid-range Android phone that stands out in a sea of similar looking models. Made from 6000 series aluminium, the Nokia 6 looks and feels robust and premium. The build is quite sturdy and is sure to last for a long time, withstanding minor slips and falls.
The matte finish is sleek and doesn’t attract fingerprints easily. At the back, you can find the familiar Nokia vertical branding, and the rear camera has a chrome casing. If you’re looking for a phone that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use, then Nokia 6 is a safe bet.
When it comes to the display the Nokia 6 sports a 5.5” Full-HD IPS LCD screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The screen has a 2.5D curved glass with a Corning Gorilla Glass protector. Additionally, the display also has a polariser layer on top to reduce glare and to improve sunlight visibility.
Accurate colour reproduction, adequate brightness, sharp text, wide viewing angles and vivid images are some of the pros of the display.
