The company has consistently failed to match competitors on the basis of its phones’ specifications, pricing, and their value proposition. The Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, Nokia 5.1, and the Nokia 6.1 were all guilty of this. The budget Nokia phones did have a significant plus point of pure Android One software, but in terms of hardware, HMD Global was clearly falling behind, and there was a need for something better. In May, the company launched the Nokia X6 in China, which was followed by the Nokia X5 in July. Then, it announced that the global versions of these phones would be named the Nokia 6.1 Plus and the Nokia 5.1 Plus respectively. The Nokia 6.1 Plus has now been officially launched in India, alongside the Nokia 5.1 Plus. The specifications of both phones are listed in the table below: Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus – Specifications at a glance Specifications Nokia 6.1 Plus Nokia 5.1 Plus Dimensions 147.2 x 70.98 x 7.99mm, 151g 149.5 x 72 x 8.1 mm, 160g Software Stock Android 8.1 Oreo (Android One) Stock Android 8.1 Oreo (Android One) SoC Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 (4x 1.8GHz Kryo 260 Performance cores + 4x 1.8GHz Kro 260 Efficiency cores); Adreno 509 GPU Octa-core MediaTek Helio P60 MT6771 (4x 1.8GHz Arm Cortex-A73 cores + 4x 1.8GHz Arm Cortex-A53 cores); Mali-G73MP2 GPU RAM and storage 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage; microSD card slot 3GB of RAM with 32GB of storage; microSD card slot Battery 3,060mAh 3,060mAh Display 5.8-inch Full HD (2280×1080) IPS LCD with 19:9 aspect ratio, Gorilla Glass 3 5.86-inch HD+ (1520×720) IPS LCD with 19:9 aspect ratio Connectivity Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0 Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2 Ports USB Type-C port (USB 2.0), dual nano SIM slots, 3.5mm headphone jack USB Type-C port (USB 2.0), dual nano SIM slots, 3.5mm headphone jack Rear camera 16MP primary camera with 1.0um pixels, f/2.0 aperture 5MP depth sensing camera with 1.12um pixels, f/2.4 aperture 13MP primary camera with 1.1um pixels, f/2.0 aperture, phase detection autofocus (PDAF) 5MP depth sensing camera with f/2.4 aperture Front-facing camera 16MP with 1.0um pixels, f/2.0 aperture 8MP with f/2.2 aperture, 80-degree field-of-view The Nokia 6.1 Plus is placed above the Nokia 5.1 Plus in HMD Global’s phone lineup. The phones have many differences in specifications ranging from display resolution (Full HD+ vs. HD+), SoC (Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 vs. MediaTek Helio P60), RAM and storage, rear cameras, to the front camera. The battery capacity is the same for both phones at 3,060mAh. Both phones are major upgrades over the Nokia 6.1 and the Nokia 5.1 respectively. This is because they are the first Nokia budget/lower mid-range phones to use newer SoCs such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 and the MediaTek Helio P60. For example, the Snapdragon 636 in the Nokia 6.1 Plus is significantly faster (>40%) than the Snapdragon 630 in the Nokia 6.1. In terms of software, both phones are powered by the Android One platform. Currently, they run Android 8.1 Oreo, and HMD Global states that they are “ready” for the Android Pie update. Pricing and availability The Nokia 6.1 Plus and the Nokia 5.1 Plus will be available in Gloss Black, Gloss White, and Gloss Midnight Blue colors. Both phones will be available exclusively online via the Nokia Shop and Flipkart. The Nokia 6.1 Plus will go on sale from August 30 in India for ₹15,999 ($229), and users can pre-book the phone on the Nokia Shop from today. HMD Global states that the price for the Nokia 5.1 Plus will be announced closer to the sales start date, which will be sometime in September. In terms of launch offers, Airtel customers will receive ₹1,800 instant cashback and “240B data over 12 months” on the plans of ₹199, ₹249, ₹448.<doc-sep>
HMD Global unveiled Nokia X6 in China back in mid-May, followed by Nokia X5 last month. Both devices followed the latest notch trend, becoming the first Nokia-branded smartphones with the cutout. Today the Finnish company held an event in New Delhi, India, where it announced the devices on the worldwide scene with their global monikers respectively Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus. Nokia 6.1 Plus This is not the first time we see this moniker since the phone appeared with the name back in July at the Hong Kong market. This iteration of the phone has 4 GB RAM accompanying the Snapdragon 636 chipset. The CPU has eight Kryo 260 cores, clocked at 1.8 GHz, coupled with Adreno 509 GPU. The phone has 64 gigs of storage and a microSD slot for up to 512 GB. The Nokia 6.1 Plus comes with 5.8” LCD and Full HD+ resolution. Due to the notch, the ratio of the screen is the ultra-tall 19:9. There is Gorilla Glass 3 on top for protecting the front panel. The dual camera setup is an interesting one - the main shooter is 16 MP with f/2.0 aperture, while the secondary is 5 MP, but unlike other midrangers, this is a monochrome sensor. The phone arrives on the Android One program, and as HMD Global representatives promised to GSMArena on multiple occasions, it will have three years of security updates and two years of OS support. The Nokia 6.1 Plus has Android Oreo out of the box but should switch to Pie in the following months. Available in Black and White, the phone was announced with an INR15,999 price tag. This is equal to $230/€200 but is likely to rise a bit once it arrives in Europe and other major markets since HMD Global has set up manufacturing plants in India to keep the local price down. Nokia 5.1 Plus The Nokia 5.1 Plus popped up last month, but we finally get to see the phone outside China. It runs on MediaTek Helio P60 chipset with eight CPU cores and Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. The memory combo is pretty basic - 3/32 GB, but this device also sports a microSD for up to 512 GB storage. The notched screen of the Nokia 5.1 Plus is 5.86” in diagonal with HD+ resolution. The main camera setup is dual with a 13 MP shooter with PDAF and a 5 MP sensor for artificial background blur. The selfie camera is 8MP but has an 80-degree field of view to get all your friends and surroundings in the picture. The Nokia 5.1 Plus is also on Android One, meaning along with the updates, users will get free unlimited storage for photos in high resolution. It is available in three colors - Black, Blue, and White, but pricing and availability details will be unveiled in September. Source 1 • Source 2
