When faith has a comprehensive evaluation of Nokia X6 cost-effective

Last week, Nokia released the Nokia X6 in Beijing. At the press conference, several HMD executives arrived at the scene in all directions. It can be seen that Nokia and HMD attach great importance to China. The Nokia X6 is also a product specifically designed for the Chinese one thousand yuan market. The most important aspect of this level is the price/performance ratio, so can the Nokia X6 do this and stand in the already fierce thousand-dollar market? This review will give you the answer.

Design, materials, workmanship

Design, materials, and workmanship have always been shortcomings for thousands of machines. Because at low prices, you have to sacrifice something. However, Nokia X6 did not "implement" this approach. Compared to high-end machines, the X6 has shrunk in this area to a very small extent, with the best look and feel of the thousand-yuan machine.

The design of double-sided 2.5D third-generation gorilla glass clip metal middle frame is very rare in the early 1000s mobile phone. The natural curvature of the metal frame and the edge of the glass is gentle and soft. The only drawback is that the side keys are slightly loose, but fortunately they do not affect the use. And then again, this price is not perfect.

The front is 5.8 inches 2280 x 1080 Liu Haiping, the ratio is 19:9. The screen border is very narrow, resulting in an 86% screen share and a compact body.

In addition, Nokia X6 has a 3.5 mm audio interface and USB Type-C interface, effectively improving the ease of use.

Hardware performance, the Nokia X6 and the market's top thousands of machines, Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 and 4GB/6GB memory are not absent. Although not as silky as the flagship of the 845, it is still sufficient for everyday use.

In terms of games, we tested the "Jade to survive: stimulate the battlefield." In the high-definition picture quality and the "middle" frame settings, the Nokia X6 performed normally, with occasional slight clicks, but the overall fluency guarantees normal gaming. The heat control of the mobile phone during the game is good.

Other configurations, Nokia X6 equipped with a Bluetooth 5.0, 32GB/64GB body storage, a maximum 256GB memory card expansion, single speaker, dual SIM dual standby and FM radio.

Lifetime charging

The Nokia X6 uses a 3060mAh battery. In these days as the main machine, X6 conducted medium-intensity tasks such as browsing the web, sending and receiving WeChat, map navigation, taking pictures, playing games, and opening hot spots for a long time. During the Nokia X6 held for 1.5 days (not including sleep standby). It's no problem to use one day heavily.

Power consumption curve

Nokia X6 charger power is 10W, charging is not fast, but it belongs to the normal level of thousands of machines. It is worth mentioning that the materials used for the work of charging adapters and wires are not worth thousands of machines. It is commendable. The following is the charging speed table (in the boot state):

Charging speed drops to very low when it is full

Taking pictures

The front camera parameters of the Nokia X6 are 1600W pixels, f/2.0 aperture, 1.0μm pixels and dual color temperature lights. Rear set for 1600W +500W dual camera, the former has f/2.0 aperture and 1.0μm pixels, the latter is a black and white lens, the parameters for the f/2.2 aperture and 1.2μm pixels.

Both front and rear cameras support dynamic expression, beauty, picture-in-picture, auto/manual HDR, blur mode, and professional mode. That is to say, in addition to the panorama, post-supported feature front-ends are supported.

It should be noted that the professional mode of the rear camera can adjust white balance, focus, ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation. Front camera professional mode can not adjust the focal length, other can adjust.

Enter the sample link below:

As can be seen from the first two, the Nokia X6's blur mode is excellent in both dark and full light imaging. It is worth encouraging that the Nokia X6 has no shortcomings of the ambiguous mode I had encountered on other Nokia phones. The current blurring mode can be said to be "where to use" and it is very easy to use. In addition, X6 supports the degree of blurring when taking photos and after taking photos.

The following sample sheets are opened in automatic mode in automatic HDR shooting:

Reducing the light intensity under very harsh sunlight

Even if HDR is turned on automatically, the sky in the distance is still somewhat overexposed. Fortunately, it is well restored in the dark.

It is not difficult to see from the proofs that the Nokia X6's camera performance is a thousand yuan top level. The interesting thing is that X6's dark light shooting is better than when the light is sufficient. However, the X6 camera is not perfect. Like many mobile phones, the X6 HDR performance needs to be improved.

Software experience

The Nokia X6 is equipped with a native Android 8.1 system. Nokia said that in the future, the X6 will become the first handset to be updated to Android 9.0, just like other Nokia phones.

The advantage of native Android is simple and smooth and timely updates. Combined with Nokia phones that have been reviewed in the past, the X6 has made no mistake about these two points. The simplicity of the native system is very important in that the hardware performance does not have a fever.

The X6 is built specifically for the Chinese market, so Nokia has added more localization capabilities to the BNM system. There are smart screens, floating balls, and photos that can be used in new features. In future updates (at least I can't find at the moment) there is application/game acceleration and taking a picture to go to the shadow and so on.

Before Nokia X6 was released, Nokia Android had localized functions such as advanced background management, APP traffic management, application double-opening, gesture operation, SMS/telephone recognition, and face recognition. It is worth noting that the system experience of Nokia's different models is basically the same, so these new features added on the X6 will also be added on the other Nokia models in an updated form.

Similar details of small functions and many more

However, the X6 system also has its drawbacks. The use of a few days allowed me to find two small problems. The first is the camera viewfinder interface button touch determination area is too small. The current solution is to not use the thumb and use other, finer fingers.

The second is that Liu Hai has caused the horizontal display area of ​​the notification bar to be too crowded, so that without any notification, the speed of the network is sometimes displayed as an ellipsis.

to sum up

If Nokia is trying to make X6 one of the most worthwhile models for the domestic Thousand Yuan machine market, the target has been successfully achieved. X6's battery life, charging and workmanship is a thousand yuan normal level; camera and hardware performance is a thousand yuan excellent level; cost, design and use of materials is a thousand yuan top level.

On the system side, the smoothness and speed of the X6 is undoubtedly top level, but the operating experience is a matter of opinion. After all, the custom UI that is popular in China and the country is very different. But what is certain is that if you can familiarize yourself with the native Android operating methods, the Nokia X6 system is the best. And Nokia is constantly improving its operating system through updates, which is one of the few in the Android world.
