Featuring ZEISS optics, the Nokia 6.1 has a 16MP back camera and an 8MP front camera. The enhanced Dual-Sight feature allows you to take two images at the same time aka a bothie instead of a selfie. The phone will also let you stream to social media from both cameras at the same time with Nokia spatial high fidelity audio surround sound.
The Nokia 6.1 has been updated with a faster processor (Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 630) that is a 60% speed boost over the previous model. More features and faster performance doesn’t mean a bulky device though. The Nokia 6.1 is housed in a sleek and compact two-tone anodized aluminum unibody shell.
Unlike some Android phone makers, the new Nokia 6.1 is powered by pure Android Oreo. That means you get all the stock Android goodness with none of the OS overlay junk that you don’t need or want.
The Nokia 6.1 joins the Android One family, offering a high-quality software experience designed by Google. The Nokia 6.1 will stay fresh over time with the latest Google innovations and regular security updates. Since it runs pure Android, the Nokia 6.1 comes with no unnecessary UI changes or hidden processes that would eat up your battery life or slow it down so you can enjoy your phone for longer. As with all Nokia smartphones on the Android One platform, the Nokia 6.1 will come with a limited number of pre-installed apps so that you’ll get more storage space.
The Nokia 6.1 will be available to purchase from Best Buy and Amazon for $269.99 starting Sunday, May 6, 2018.
