Conclusion & VerdictAn Introduction The inauguration of the Finnish brand name carrying pure Android platform was occurred earlier this year with the release of Nokia 6 in China exclusively. Later it followed in other regions and then global launch of the Nokia 6 was happened during the Mobile World Congress, when HMD Global – the new home of Nokia phones additionally launched Nokia 5 and Nokia 3. Nokia 6 hit the Pakistan market in August and went on sale for Rs. 27,900/- (or ~$265). Global Nokia 6 has visually less differences than the Chinese model but features wise, the global model has improvements specially with software optimization. There could also be some hardware differences, specially the main camera module. The price however is much balanced according to other markets, considering the local taxes and import duty fees. But sure, the most important thing is, how it stands among the competition. For that, we’ll consider Huawei Y7 Prime and Samsung’s J7 Prime to compare against Nokia 6 in this review whenever possible and applicable. To give you a little about its standing, Nokia 6 is the most expensive smartphone among the trio – Nokia 3, 5 and 6. HMD seems to have done justice to tag the pricing with these new Nokia phones as these divide the features well. However, when compared to other brands, it’s a bit expensive than Huawei’s counterpart and a little cheaper than Samsung’s.
