TechAeris | Alex Hernandez

I am familiar with Nokia's legendary build quality but I wasn't expecting this level of quality on an Android budget phone.

Android Authority | Abhishek Baxi

The Nokia 6 is a good enough device for a lot of people, but not for everyone. It's a pity there are few misses here and there that makes it stop short of being an overall well-rounded package that one would've liked it to be.

NotebookCheck | Manuel Masiero

The Nokia 6 is a good smartphone but does not offer much additional value compared to the more affordable Nokia 5. There really is only one argument for its purchase: the larger and higher-resolution display.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Akriti Rana

... it is actually on a bit of a hot seat right now, because standing against it are the likes of the Moto G5s Plus, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, the Xiaomi Mi A1, and the Lenovo K8 Note, all of which boast better processors, larger batteries and in some cases, better cameras too. Which leaves the Nokia 6 pretty much in no man's land.

The Economic Times | Hitesh Raj Bhagat

It's a lot more premium than we're used to seeing at this price.

This is the best of the new Nokias. It offers a decent spec for a reasonable price.

TechRadar | John McCann

The Nokia 6 is comfortably the most accomplished of the launch trio of new Nokia phones. If you can stretch to the quite reasonable price tag it's the Nokia phone we'd recommend you go for thanks to its Full HD display, tidy performance and solid camera.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

Sluggish performance aside, the new Nokia's mid-ranger gets a lot right. It might be the new Nokia's most expensive offering right now, but the 6 is still strictly stuck in the mid-range.

phoneArena | Corey G.

Nokia's highest end Android phone this far is a solid phone, but we shan't forget it's still a mid-range offering.

Android Headlines | Nick Sutrich

Nokia is back, and they mean business. 2017 marks the clear comeback year with Nokia, and they're kicking it all off by offering an incredibly solid phone for a cheap price.

NDTV Gadgets | Ketan Pratap

It does seem good enough for most everyday jobs. Its brand, design, and build quality are its biggest highlights. But in terms of overall value, it falls short.

Pocket-lint | Chris Hall

The Nokia 6 is a slightly confusing device. Overall, the decision really has to be made on what you're looking for in a sub-£200 phone. Ultimately the experience is dictated by that entry-level hardware and this is very much par for the course when it comes to affordable phone performance.

Forbes | Ewan Spence

After two days with the Nokia 6 it's clear that this is a smartphone that does the job. There's nothing particularly outstanding about it and there's no shocks in the package. The highlight is that everything is nicely above average.

Gadgets Now | Heena Gupta

The Nokia 6 is a decent attempt from HMD Global in order to revive the Nokia brand. The smartphone offers a pretty good design and stock Android is an added advantage. However, it lacks a bit in the performance segment....tough competition from Moto G5 Plus and Lenovo P2 which come at a similar price tag but offer better specifications.

AndroidPit | Eric Ferrari-Herrmann

HMD Global makes compromises by foregoing some options and not choosing the right components, therefore it squanders its chance at the Nokia 6 becoming a recommended purchase.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

An acceptable budget phone, but HMD has cut too many corners here. Simply put, there are better phones out there.

The Verge | Dan Seifert

If you were hoping for the Nokia 6 to be the second coming of Nokia in the US, you'll be disappointed. For this price it is never going to be anything more than a budget model for casual consumers. But if you're a casual phone buyer looking for something with decent software and a reliable experience, you can do a lot worse than the Nokia 6.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

The handset is attractive, well-made, and confidence-inspiring. However, you can score a much better unlocked phone for half as much if you look at options from ZTE and Motorola. At its price, the phone is pricey considering the experience it delivers.

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.
