Nokia 6.1 Design , Camera , Feature And Price In Pakistan
Published January 31, 2019 | 11:09 AM
We really can't babble enough about how great the Nokia 6.1 body is. It's probably the most durable rigid phone on the market, and it even manages to pull off a peculiar, handsome look.
HMD nails the basics with its newly launched Nokia 6.1. Despite the low-price tag of $270, you never really feel like you're missing out on anything.
The rock-solid aluminum unibody is the big highlight, which would feel right at home on a flagship device. The back is a flat slab of anodized aluminum that curves slightly when it reaches the perimeter of the back. There's a slight camera bump at the rear that houses a 16MP sensor and an LED flash that is oddly far away from the camera lens, but it gives the back design some character.
Speaking of character, while you might expect a cheap phone to look rather generic, Nokia has given every edge of the phone a beveled edge with astonishing color. The black version has a shiny copper accent, while the white version has more of a rose gold touch to it.
Besides the aluminum unibody, there's also a strong aluminum mid-frame inside the phone held down with countless screws. Nokia phones in the past have been know for their legendary durability, and it's nice to see HMD keeping up the tradition with a phone that feels like it could replace a hammer. The whole thing feels way overbuilt, but that's a great change of pace from the super-fragile all-glass smartphones most companies are manufacturing these days.
A Nokia logo has been carved into the back and given a nice reflective coloring. On a closer look you'll spot a few black antenna lines at the top and bottom, which occasionally wrap around the sides and interrupt the orange chamfer.
If there is one drawback with this phone, it's with the rear fingerprint reader, which feels small in size.
The front has a pretty basic design that goes with an old-school 16:9 LCD panel and medium-size bezels. The 1080p LCD won't hit the retina-searing color saturation of flagship OLED panels, but it's certainly good enough that it doesn't feel like a compromise. Everything is about where you would expect it to be. The top bezel has a normal earpiece speaker with an 8MP front-facing camera, while the bottom bezel is blank thanks to the on-screen navigation buttons.
The sides of the phone are perfectly smooth and vertical, which helps give off even more of an "industrial" vibe as if the whole phone was carved from a brick of aluminum. Around the sides you'll find a headphone jack, metal volume and power, a bottom-mounted USB-C port, speaker, and microphone. The only bit of plastic on this phone is the SIM tray, which also houses a MicroSD card slot.
we really can't babble enough about how great the Nokia 6.1 body is. It's probably the most durable rigid phone on the market, and it even manages to pull off a peculiar, handsome look. This would be perfect for a flagship device—just add higher specs and a slim bezel design, and you'd have a winner.
