Today HMD officially took the wraps off its second generation Nokia 6 smartphone. It comes with a more capable chipset and a reduced footprint, but otherwise shares most of its hardware with the original Nokia 6.
The operating system version is still Android 7.1 Nougat, but a quick
update to 8.0 Oreo is promised to bring the new Nokia 6 up to speed.
The phone switches to the newer USB-C standard for data connection
and charging of its 3,000 mAh battery. but has the same camera pair as
its predecessor. This means the Second gen Nokia 6 has a single 16MP
camera with 1.0um pixels and F/2.0 lens at the back and an 8MP shooter
with 1.12um pixels and F/2.2 aperture at the front.
A microSD card slot lets you extend the available storage, which is
32GB or 64GB depending on the version you purchase. There’s a single
speaker on board, but the 3.5mm audio is also here to stay.
The final major change the Nokia 6 (2018) brings is the fingerprint
sensor, which has moved to the back to help reduce the footprint of the
phone. As a result the second gen Nokia 6 measures 148.8 x 75.8 x 8.15mm
(8.6mm thick at the camera), which more is than 5mm shorter than the
original one.
