Nokia x6 and its position within the Nokia catalog

Nokia X6 is the new terminal from the old Finnish firm. The first impression we have of this new terminal is that it has a current design. This can be a good or bad point depending on taste, we will talk about this later. What interests us is the place it occupies within the Nokia ranges.

The Nokia X6 is built in premium materials, we speak of glass and metal. Although it looks like a terminal intended for the high-end due to its design, its interior tells us otherwise. We are talking about a smartphone with mid-range or premium mid-range specifications depending on the finishes.

Nokia X6, a phone with notch and premium design

The notch or eyebrow is the fashion of almost all the terminals of 2018. Nokia was not going to be less and in its Nokia X6 we have the eyebrow that many love and others hate but that undoubtedly gives a "current" look to the terminal.

On the front, in addition to having the notch, we find a 5.8-inch screen with Full HD + resolution and a 19: 9 screen format, which for the clueless means that it is longer. By opting for this format and this screen we have a considerable reduction of the frames.

The back is made of glass as we have already said and in it we have the fingerprint reader. It is not the only security measure since the Nokia X6 has facial recognition. Above it is accompanied by a double camera with dual-tone flash in addition to the brand's logo. The finish on the back is shiny glass so it will surely end up becoming a magnet for fingerprints.

Specifications and power of the Nokia X6

We have said that as much as it seems a high-end terminal, it is not. This is because of its specifications that fit better in the mid-range. Its processor is signed by Qualcomm, it is the Snapdragon 636 that has eight cores at a speed of 1.8GHz. The GPU is the Adreno 509. It comes standard with Android 8.1 stock with the promise of updating to Android 9 P when the final version is available.

Despite being a mid-range terminal, the Nokia X6 is provided with two versions of RAM and storage. We can find it with 4GB / 32GB or 6GB / 64GB of RAM and storage. If 32GB or 64GB seem few to us, we have a MicroSD slot up to 256GB.

The autonomy should not be a problem if we take into account the processor that it carries and its 3,060mAh. But in the case of running out of battery in the middle of the day, we can plug it in for a moment and charge quickly thanks to the Quick Charge 3.0. It lacks nothing in connectivity, we have USB Type C, WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4GHZ + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONNASS and 4G.

Photographic section of the Nokia X6

Cameras are becoming more and more important and brands know it. Users want solvent cameras at all times, which give us good photographic results. The Nokia X6 has a double camera with a 16 megapixel main sensor and a 5 megapixel secondary sensor.

The main sensor is RGB so it captures all the colors in this spectrum. It has a focal aperture of 2.0. The secondary sensor is monochrome so it captures black and white images, it also has the same focal aperture as the main one, 2.0. Both sensors have Artificial Intelligence software which according to Nokia will allow the Nokia X6 to have blur, expression recognition, filters, etc.

Nokia X6 compared to its Nokia siblings

It is clear that the Nokia X6 cannot be compared with the Nokia 8 Sirocco or the Nokia 8 since they are the star terminals of the brand. This leaves us with three terminals with which we can compare it. Yes, we are talking about the Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 7 and Nokia 6.

Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia X6, although at first it seems that they have to be very different, this is not entirely so. In terms of design they have a certain similarity due to the reduced frames being an extreme reduction in the case of the Nokia X6. In power, its processors are almost at the same level, being the most powerful Snapdragon 660, but from a previous generation. Where we find a difference is in the battery, the Nokia 7 Plus has 3,800mAh while the Nokia X6 stays at 3,060.

Nokia 7 and Nokia X6, in design if they are totally different. Being the Nokia 7 more conventional in screen format and frames. Inside we have the Snapdragon 630 which if we compare with the Snapdragon 636 it lags behind in power and it is also from a previous generation. The Nokia 7 does not have a dual camera either. We see that, although the numbering says otherwise, the Nokia X6 is more advanced in several respects if we compare it with the Nokia 7.

Nokia 6 and Nokia X6, although by name it may seem that they have to be similar, this is not true. The Nokia 6 has the same processor as the Nokia 7 so the same thing happens to it. Its design is also far from current standards. It does not have a double camera and its battery is 3000mAh.

The Nokia X6 is a terminal that can be fitted between the Nokia 7 Plus and the Nokia 7 as it has more power, a more updated design, premium finishes and a double camera. Now it only remains to know its price to know which sector it is intended for.
