Introduction
It's like we woke up in an alternate universe - one where Nokia chose Android over Windows Phone. And oh boy, it is glorious. The brand has a lot of catching up to do but it gets close to the front in a single bound.
The Nokia 6 has been around for a while now, but it is now officially set for a worldwide release. To celebrate, HMD unveiled a special edition Arte Black color, which comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage. The other colors come with 3GB and 32GB respectively.
What we think is most appealing about the new Nokia trio is the attitude towards software. The phones come with pure Android 7.1 Nougat - the company didn't touch a thing - and a commitment for timely updates. Effectively, this makes them the affordable Pixel phones Google never gave us (let's not mention Android One).
Nokia 6 at a glance:
Still, the 5 is a lower-end model and the screen drops to 720p resolution, the main camera to 13MP. You get to keep the fingerprint reader and the free subscription to Google Photos, though.
Nokia 5 at a glance:
The screen goes down another step to 5" (still 720p) but it promises 450 nits of brightness, same as the Nokia 6, but it borrows the polarization filter from the 5. Fingerprint reader, Google Photos subscription, even the 2 gigs of RAM and 16 gigs storage are still on board.
