Australian PC World | Fergus Halliday

This handset is a double-down by HMD on everything that worked in the 2017 model combined with a number of key improvements...If you're not interested in the company's flagship offerings and happy to settle when it comes to the camera, the Nokia 6 might be one of the slickest, polished and overall best-value Android handsets

It has a few downsides, and it's up against some heavy hitters in the budget category, but HMD's reboot of last year's Nokia 6 is a tasty, thick slice of pure Android goodness.

The Nokia 6.1 is one of the best budget phones you can buy right now and one that I'd recommend.

Nokia 6.1 Plus comes loaded with a premium design and the display looks quite crisp. The performance is smooth and the key takeaway here is the stock Android experience, meaning that you will timely update as compared to other smartphones available at this price range.

It's got almost everything you could ask for in an affordable mid-range smartphone and I think it's pricing is just the icing on the cake.

You should buy this one. If you don't think you need to spend...on a flagship smartphone and are just looking for an inexpensive, no-frills device that gets the basics right, the Nokia 6.1 is the phone to buy. You get a metal body, stock Android, a good update policy, USB-C, and a headphone jack. The screen is good enough that you don't feel like you're missing out, and HMD is offering decent performance for this spot in the market. Nokia's two-year update plan is absolutely unheard of at this price point and is something they should be commended for.

Stock Android experience with a promise of timely security updates and a plush design makes Nokia 6.1 Plus a competent smartphone in this price segment, giving competition to the likes of Xiaomi and Honor.

The Nokia 6 is, on balance, a very fine phone for the money. It looks stylish, performs at a similar rate to its rivals and gives you an exceptionally good screen for your cash.

The Inquirer | Lee Bell

The Nokia 6 might not be the creme de la creme, but offers a decent upgrade compared to its predecessor and is a decent effort compared to other smartphones in the same price bracket.

Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail

Buy it. With all the right specs, a great display, sturdy metal build and unrivaled Android One software, the Nokia 6.1 is a sleeper hit that belongs on your radar.

If the Nokia 6 (2018)'s stellar build quality, clean software package, good battery life and solid performance appeal to you, the variant with 3GB of RAM ... is the one to buy.

PC Mag | Ajar Kumar

The Nokia 6.1 is an unlocked Android One-powered phone with solid hardware and a sturdy design for the price.

AndroidPit | Silvia Santos

If you purchase this device, you'll know what you have in your hand and you'll have to avoid comparing it with much more advanced devices. And it's pretty cheap as well, so the device has a lot going for it.

Nokia 6 (2018) is undoubtedly one of the most good-looking smartphones in the affordable segment right now. Moreover, it's a drastic improvement over its predecessor as it features improved camera capabilities, smoother performance and comes with a promise of software updates for at least the next two years.

... there is one big compromise that you have to make with the Nokia 6.1: its display. It looks bluish, with washed out colors. We understand that you cannot expect wonders from the display of an affordable phone and while this screen is certainly not a dealbreaker, rivals have raised the bar and the Nokia 6.1 display is just not quite on par, plus there is no way to fix its issues in the settings. If you can live with that, the Nokia 6.1 (2018) has the performance and even the camera to impress at this price point, but that's one big if.

Gadgets Now

Overall, Nokia 6.1 offers significant improvements over its predecessor in terms of performance, improved camera capabilities, fast charging support and Android One makes the things even better with it guaranteed software updates...the display quality could have been better as could have been the camera performance...when compared to competition, it's hard to find an area where it stands out.
