Listed among the most notable budget smartphones on the market today, the Nokia 6.1 Plus brings a lot of curiosity about its quality and features. So, compared to its price and competitors in the same range, is Nokia 6.1 Plus a good choice for users? Let's explore and evaluate this phone with Mytour.

1. Review of the design and display of Nokia 6.1
On the front, Nokia 6.1 follows the design with a notch similar to the iPhone X. However, ignoring the front part, Nokia 6.1 Plus still has a surprisingly high-quality build for a mid-range phone.
Nokia has been subtle in using silver borders to encase the camera area and fingerprint scanner, adding a touch of luxury and making the Nokia 6.1 Plus stand out from other competitors. Even the volume and power buttons on the right side have silver-colored edges, enhancing the phone's beauty. The antenna bands are also discreetly crafted with a color scheme similar to the entire body, making them hard to notice. Even the SIM tray on the left side has been well executed, making it truly challenging to detect on the Nokia 6.1 Plus.
The LCD display on budget smartphones is getting better, and Nokia 6.1 Plus boasts an excellent screen. The phone's large 5.84-inch IPS LCD panel has a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels. With a pixel density of 432 ppi, Nokia 6.1 Plus renders everything sharply, whether it's images, videos, or text. Colors are vibrant and accurate, brightness is high, and viewing angles are good, with decent contrast levels.
Overall, in terms of design and display, Nokia 6.1 Plus undoubtedly stands out among its peers in the same class, thanks to its robust build and modern, premium features that few smartphones possess.
2. Detailed specifications and processing performance of Nokia 6.1 Plus
Nokia 6.1 Plus employs the powerful mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, coupled with the Adreno 509 GPU for intensive graphics tasks. This is the same chip found in the Redmi Note 5 Pro and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. In Vietnam, Nokia 6.1 Plus has a single variant with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, expandable via a microSD card.
This budget phone also runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with the Android One experience, promising swift security patch updates and operating system upgrades.
With these features, the product delivers a smooth real-world user experience and excellent support for popular games. While users may find it challenging to play high-end online fighting games, Nokia 6.1 Plus offers an incredible experience within its price range.
This phone is powered by a 3,060 mAh battery, supporting fast charging. It's just slightly larger than the 3,000 mAh battery on the Nokia 6.1.

3. Camera and pricing of Nokia 6.1 Plus
Nokia 6.1 Plus features a dual-camera setup on the rear, including a main 16 MP f/2.0 sensor (1.0-micron size) with PDAF and a 5 MP f/2.4 depth sensor (1.12-micron size). On the front, we have a 16 MP f/2.0 (1.0-micron size) sensor for selfies. In daylight, the results from the main camera are excellent—sharp images, true-to-life colors, and ultra-fast autofocus. Sharpness is maintained throughout the image, with minimal post-processing, quite impressive in this price segment.
Choosing HDR produces better images, but you need to keep steady while shooting. If you capture tall buildings, they seem to be leaning inward, suggesting some significant distortion at certain angles. For portrait mode photos, the phone does a good job separating the subject from the background. Images look natural, and edge detection is good. Note that there's no AI assistance trend, but Nokia 6.1 Plus' secondary sensor still does an excellent job.
Meanwhile, Nokia 6.1 Plus' selfie photos are pleasant, even in office lighting or artificial light conditions. In bokeh mode with selfie shots, it's not as good as the rear camera but shareable on social media.
However, for nighttime shots, Nokia 6.1 Plus isn't the best choice as it doesn't perform well in these conditions.
Currently, the lowest price for Nokia 6.1 Plus, according to Mytour, is 3,790,000 VND. At this price point, considering the features it offers, Nokia 6.1 Plus is genuinely a great choice for consumers.
Therefore, if you're in the market for an affordable phone, this is undoubtedly one of the best options for you.
