Nokia’s comeback in 2018

Nokia has been one of the most successful mobile phone makers at one point in time. After a stint in the smartphone arena with Lumia, Nokia was acquired by a company called HMD Global. Now, Nokia has already released a new Android smartphone and has plans to launch quite a few more, in the present year.

Nokia 6 – Specs & Features

At 5.5 inches, with a 1920 by 1080 display, the Nokia 6 stands shoulder-to-shoulder in terms of size with many of its peers. The 16 MP camera and 3000 mAh battery are decent, without breaking any new ground here. The processing power is pretty good as well with the Snapdragon 630 and the 4 GB of RAM. A thing to note is that though the phone ships with Android Nougat (7.1.1), Nokia says that an update to Android Oreo might be possible.
