Nokia 6 is Really Come Back?
To answer this question, we have from the Nokia mobile phone business by Microsoft acquisition.
In early 2014, Microsoft’s $ 7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia’s mobile phone business, the Nokia mobile phone department tens of thousands of employees has become a matter of course Microsoft employees. In the acquisition of Nokia mobile phone business at the same time, Microsoft won the Nokia brand in the smart phone (that is, Lumia series) 18 months of use rights and functional machines (such as Asha) 10 years of use, attention to these two time.
According to the agreement, by the end of 2015, Finland, Nokia will recover from Microsoft’s Nokia brand in the Lumia smart phone use, Microsoft will not be able to continue in the Lumia mobile phone using the Nokia logo. However, this is not a problem for Microsoft, because after the end of 2014, Microsoft launched the Lumia mobile phones are removed “NOKIA” logo, replaced by “Microsoft Lumia”. Of course, later on, we did not see much improvement in Lumia’s handset sales. In June 2015, the Lumia smartphone business, which sold poorly, was marginalized in the corporate restructuring.
As for the 10 years to get the Nokia brand functional licensing machine business, Microsoft has never been this technology giants how to heart. In May 2016, Microsoft will be Nokia’s functional machine business sold to Fu Zhi Kang (Foxconn’s listed subsidiary) and HMD Global Oy (referred to as HMD).
In addition, the joint Foxconn from the acquisition of functional machine business from Microsoft, HMD also obtained from the Nokia Nokia mobile phone brand use (for a period of ten years, the specific price is not clear), so that HMD is equivalent to both have a Nokia function Machine and intelligent machine brand the right to use.
HMD is held by a private equity fund called Smart Connect LP. Interestingly, the fund owner, Jean-François Baril, served as vice president of Nokia for the period 1999-2012. In addition to Jean-François Baril, HMD has a number of veterans from Nokia. Perhaps this layer is a special relationship, only to HMD the first time from the hands of Nokia to get the Nokia smart phone brand right to use.
Then the problem came, HMD is a light asset company, the production is entirely responsible for the Foxconn. This and Apple and Foxconn’s model is not the same, Foxconn for Apple is the OEM relationship, iPhone, iPad and other product design is Apple’s full control, Foxconn is responsible for “manufacturing” products.
However, for HMD, it seems unlikely that HMDs will be able to design and develop products in the form of corporate personnel (the founders have little or no R & D origin), or when the company was founded (May 2016) Level of Foxconn have too much intervention, which also has a Nokia 6 is Foxconn “OEM machine” argument.
Personally think that, at least in the Nokia 6 this product, I also prefer this is a product from the hands of Foxconn, the follow-up will not change is not easy to say. Of course, taking into account the current mobile phone threshold has been very low, this does not mean that the HMD and Foxconn do not make a good product.

Nokia 6 Close to the Native System
Review the following Nokia 6 hardware configuration, Qualcomm Xiao Long 430,4GB LPDDR3 memory, 64GB eMMC storage, 5.5 inch 1080p LCD screen, 16 million rear camera (single pixel 1 micron, with phase focus, no optical image stabilization) 8-megapixel front-facing camera (1.12-micron single pixel), 3000 mAh battery (adapter 5V 2A).
One of the biggest slot is the Xiao Long 430, from the specification point of view, Xiao Long 430 really some ugly. 28 nm LP process (and Xiao Long 615), CPU to 8 core Cortex-A53 (the highest frequency 1.4GHz), GPU Adreno 505, Cat 4 network standard, dual card dual standby to support full CNC.
From the specifications and running data on the analysis, Xiaolong 430 performance and power control should be significantly less than the current mainstream Xiaolong 625, also less than MediaTek’s Helio P10, but slightly better than Xiao Long 615.
But Nokia 6 has a good news is that it pre-installed the latest Android 7.0 operating system, which also makes Nokia 6 as Google Pixel, Huawei Mate 9 / Mate 9 Pro and other products, the current very few factories to eat “Nougat” (nougat) phone. In addition, Nokia 6 system has not been too much customization, very close to native Android, which also helps improve the fluency of mobile phones.
Perhaps benefit from the operating system, Nokia 6’s actual performance is better than I expected.
First of all, limited by Xiao Long 430, Nokia 6 on almost all of the operations are a slow one shot, if you are using a equipped with a Xiaolong 820/821’s flagship phone, this feeling will be very obvious. But interestingly, the use of micro-letters, microblogging, hammer notes and other everyday app, in most of the time, the system will not be particularly obvious Caton, but some slow. If you use a summary of the Nokia 6 system fluency, the most appropriate description should be “slow and not card.”
As for the higher performance requirements of the game app, “King of glory” of this level of the game can barely keep up, but the quality is not too high requirements.
We mentioned above, Nokia 6 system is based on the original Android 7.0 made a mild customization, this idea and Moto before the product is similar, but perhaps in order to improve system fluency, Nokia 6 cut a lot of Native Android animations.
Is the Nokia 6 Hard?
Previously, cell phone screen and shell material is generally plastic, although the texture is not up to much, but it is not prone to such a broken screen like a devastating injury.
With the iPhone in 2007 to redefine the phone, now smart phones are basically covered with a large glass screen, even if the mobile phone and glass manufacturers to make a lot of efforts, but ultimately limited by the material itself, the probability of broken screen or Than the year of the plastic machine age much higher (unless it is like the Moto X pole, Moto Z Force this use of special plastic screen).
How do not fall will not break the Moto X pole (the US version of the Droid Turbo 2)
In the Nokia 6, whether the screen material (third generation Corning Gorilla glass) or body material (6000 series aluminum alloy), or machine design, and the market is no other essential difference between smart phones. At this time to go to expect how strong Nokia 6, there is no reason the.
Nokia 6 Appearance and Design
First of all, it is certain that the homogeneity of the appearance of a serious exception in the smart phone, Nokia 6 appearance or a certain degree of recognition, which is mainly due to its box design.
Nokia 6 uses a one-piece metal body, which is nothing special, but in the box part, Nokia 6 does not use a common rounded design, or do a very “Founder.” In the upper and lower frame of each cut with a CNC mirror bright side chamfer, the side of the power button, the volume keys have done a similar deal.
With a slight curvature of the back cover, Nokia 6 reminds me of the last printed “NOKIA” logo Lumia mobile phone Lumia 930.
In the back cover part, Nokia 6 does not use the common metal sandblasting or brushed polishing treatment, but in the metal surface coated with a layer of skin type “touch paint”, feels feels good, the price is very easy to contaminate the oil.
It should be noted that the current Nokia 6 announced only a black color, the choice of color is actually a certain risk. Although the iPhone 7 / iPhone 7 Plus, driven by black as the past few months, mobile phone “fashion color”, but one has to consider the fact that in China, the golden phone is usually the best selling, Even the stubborn Luo teachers have to make a compromise on the hammer M1 / M1L.
In addition, Nokia 6 front panel design also has some meaning. According to the official statement, Nokia 6 “full-fit process, hidden plastic ring frame, glass and metal frame to achieve the gap is less than 0.05 mm of the ultimate quality, so that the whole body muddy as one.”
Not clear about this “fit the whole week,” “hidden plastic box” is what you want to say, intuitive feel in the Nokia 6 front glass cover 2.5D and metal between the box, adding a layer of very Thick plastic ring. But this layer of plastic circle is 2.5D glass along the arc, from the visual and feel like 2.5D glass extension, so that just got Nokia 6 I thought it was a piece of the edge of the degree of polished Large 2.5D glass.
This design in addition to the edge of the transition can be more rounded screen to reduce the square-shaped grip when the discomfort caused by holding, but also help to improve the structural strength of the machine to a certain extent reduce the risk of broken screen, but the side effect is Resulting in a wide border.
Nokia 6 screen border width in one fell swoop than red rice, blue and so the vast majority of thousands of machine, ran the iPhone to go. And the same 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus contrast, although the Nokia 6’s machine width to be slightly narrower, but not as part of the frame as the iPhone 7 Plus as a smooth transition, Nokia 6 in the hands of the feeling is not narrower than the iPhone 7 Plus How many.
Nokia 6 uses a 5.5-inch LCD screen, resolution 1080p, which is currently the most common smart phone screen specifications.
The actual display is also nothing big problem, the brightness is high enough, the basic outdoor can see clearly, the screen color temperature “normal”, not as deliberately as some domestic manufacturers deliberately cool the screen color temperature to please the first impression. However, in color reproduction, we have our hands this Nokia 6 screen as a whole some slightly blue, when the angle is relatively large, the trend of blue will be more obvious.
Nokia 6 in the system settings in the “standard” and “dynamic” two color mode, the difference between the two models is not, “dynamic” mode, the color saturation is slightly higher.
Nokia 6 screen is below a non-compressible fingerprint recognition module, left and right are the two entities to return and multi-tasking touch keys, can not swap position, this design meets Google’s definition, but Samsung and domestic mobile phone “spoiled Domestic users may get used to it for a while.
In addition, and HTC 10 similar to the Nokia 6 navigation button area is located in the “chin” below the position of the initial use may be slightly discomfort.
Finally, Nokia 6 in the appearance of the biggest selling point, is the top right of the screen and back in the middle of the “NOKIA” logo.
