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

TechRadar | Holly Brockwell

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.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Sumukh Rao

... it's very hard to recommend over other devices like the Redmi Note 5 Pro or the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, both of which have superior chipsets and a better camera setup, and are priced substantially lower than the Nokia 6.1. But then, you don't need to fight it out in the flash sales or worry about after-sales service if you indeed decide to go with the Nokia 6.1.

The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal

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.

India Today | Sanket Vijayasarathy

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.

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.

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.

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.

91mobiles | Prateek Pandey

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.

phoneArena | Victor Hristov

... 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.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
