Nokia 6.2

amazon Nokia 6.2 reviews

Its teardrop screen frame backdrop has an image of a handshake that gives the design of the Nokia 6.2 a beautiful soft blue tone.

Presents include the Nokia 6.2 phone, a set of accessories comprising a 10W USB-C charger cable and headphones, along with a user guide.

Other accessories offered with competing brands-and-thus-without-an-added-cost-support are not provided by Nokia 6.2: cases, skins, and snazzy screen protectors.

The Look

Most obviously will appeal to anyone who finds the aesthetics of the Nokia by HMD smartphones quite appealing and exceedingly durable. And the Nokia 6.2 also bears that title.

This mobile phone design is cool with glass on both the backside and frontside, blended with a stamped-metal frame.

The Nokia 6.2 owns a 6.3-inch IPS LCD waterdrop screen like the Nokia 7.2. Not only that, the entire body has the same shape, size, and weight as the 7.2.

Though marketed as waterdrop-style, Nokia 6.2 is not an overwhelming phone configurations, since the screen’s edge is comparatively thick.

At the very pinnacle of this waterdrop design, the HMD constructs its 8MP selfie camera. The sunohone stays between the camera and the heart.

Although without dust or water resistance rating, the phone remains durable-the likes of which is a trademark quality of Nokia-and fitted with a Gorilla Glass 3 protecting the rear and front.

As for color options, the Nokia 6.2 comes in two colors: Black (Ceramic Black) and Light Blue (Ice). Both color versions are gorgeous, but slightly less gorgeous once graced with fingerprints or smudges, being more overtly visible on the Nokia 6.2 whilst in Black.

The back of Nokia 6.2 follows the design of the Nokia 7.2, including a camera cluster comprising three lenses and 1 LED light closely surrounded by a circular frame situated just above the middle axis of the back. Protrusion levels of the rear camera cluster from the back of the phone are negligible and make it prone to instability when placed on a flat surface.

Below the camera cluster lies the finger scanner, a fairly familiar design. Its unlocking speed is not the quickest within the price-range competition but is a fair bit reliable regarding accuracy.

Normally slidey with glass, the frame, compliments of metal to the Nokia 6.2, has made that shortcoming mitigable by providing good grip. HMD states that this is aluminum-polycarbonate composite, whereas the official product website states that the frame is metal.

The finished product just creates quite a visual appeal and gives the phone a solid grip, whatever the material for the frame is.

On the frame, you will find the 3.5mm audio jack, SIM & memory card slot (two nano-SIM trays and one microSD), and the assistant key. Type-C charging port and external speakers are found on the bottom edge.

On the right edge of the device are the volume up and down buttons, as well as the power button. HMD is very eye-catching by integrating an LED in the power button as a notification light which only blinks in white.

All of the above factors have made up the overall Nokia 6.2, which considered a mid-range phone but its looks appear to lean toward higher-grade markets and thus attract buyers.

Display

The Nokia 6.2 has a 6.3-inch screen resolution of 1080×2280. Similar to the 7.2, the Nokia 6.2 also comes equipped with an LCD of HDR10 standard and a Nokia technology called PureDisplay.

The panel on Nokia 6.2 boasts very good brightness, achieving 514 nits by increasing the brightness slider to maximum and hitting 580 nits in sunlight mode.

Most of the mid-range smartphones are using OLED screens, but Nokia 6.2 was still provided with IPS LCD panels by HMD. Thus the contrast on the screen is very good.

Dynamic color mode is built in for users on Nokia 6.2. When this mode is turned on, color reproduction on the screen will slightly tint the colors of some details of the content being displayed. Overall, it still looks rather nice. When Dynamic is turned off, it works in a basic color space with minimum color discrimination, that is color on the screen compared to actual color.

PureDislay does this when turned off and auto white balance takes place, which helps reducing the blue light and consequently decreases color discrimination even more. This is highly dependent on the light conditions though.

Being an HDR10 screen; however, all users can do is watch SDR streams from YouTube and Netflix.

Battery

Nokia 6.2 is driven by a 3,500mAh battery with a 10W charger. Since it does not support fast charging, it takes about 30 minutes to charge the device to 35% and 2 hours to reach 100%.

For its usage time, a 3,500mAh battery onboard will not give the Nokia 6.2 an impressive full day’s worth of use. The device has managed to run for approximately 10 hours of constant use while browsing the web, while it could do just above 8 and a half hours when watching videos.

Android One OS

All Nokia devices initially come with the Android One operating system. One of the biggest advantages of this type of operating system is that it receives updates continuously for 2-3 years, in addition to giving a user an opportunity to experience Android, the original interface of Google.

Nokia 6.2 does have an LCD screen; therefore, it lacks the feature like Always-on-Display in that of OLED phones. But to meet the requirement of continuation, HMD does have Ambient display which lights up the screen whenever the user received new notification. Another notification wheel is the LED on the power button, which will alert a user of missed notifications.

Features such as both security fingerprint and face unlock are included as far as Nokia 6.2 is concerned. From the point of view of security, the fingerprint sensor is considered much aware and more secure than face unlock.

The device runs on Android 9, courtesy of stock Android One, and features a pill-shaped button-based navigation at the bottom of the display. Touching the button once brings the user to the main screen, sliding it left to right is for switching between the two recently opened applications, and dragging it to the right serves the user interface for switching tasks.

Brief swipe up from the bottom edge turns screen into multi-tasking interface. Swiping longer brings up the app drawer.

Google’s own multimedia applications encourage a user to organize easier ways. Alongside, Nokia 6.2 also possesses a media manager.

Performance and benchmarks

It includes Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, which is designed to be a major mid-range smartphone chip in years gone by now, while this processor is already quite past its prime in the markets, even though 636 is not a weak chip.

The device comes with two offerings in the market, namely with 3/4 GB of RAM and memory variants of 32-64-128 GB.

The Geekbench ratings are also considerably lower for the Nokia 6.2 when compared with other devices of the same segment, both in single-core processing and multi-core speed. The same applies to the AnTuTu benchmark.

However, there is an upside of the Nokia 6.2 that the phone generally does not heat at any time while operating, has its performance balanced at most times, and its operating system as well as applications run quite smoothly.

As once said, the lifespan of this processor chip in the market is limited since applications are becoming complicated over the years, requiring high graphics and terrific processing performance on devices, performance eventually may not be sustained long.

Cameras

Nokia 6.2 embodies a set of 3 rear cameras consisting of a 16MP f/1.8 main, an ultra-wide-angle 8MP f/2.2 118-degree lens, and a 5MP depth-sensing camera.

The default Nokia Camera App has nothing different from other previous phones. Side swipes will help the users to switch between the various modes for shooting. Features that are less important are stored inside a square icon and thus reducing any entry of details on shooting screens.

It offers a imany kinds of shooting modes like Beauty, Portrait, Pro (professional) for users.

Image captured direct from the camera is not worth capturing in daylight, unimpressive. The dynamic range is average, higher noise than normal, and white balance as well as color reproduction in each and every little detail makes the photograph look somewhat unnatural.

This is again much better compared to the super wide-angle camera. The details are better, and colors are also much more impressive when compared to the primary camera. Auto-correction of distortion in the image has sometimes been applied.

In lower luminous environments, the picture snapped by the camera has become even worse in detail and is covered with much more noise, and the colors are also poorly presented, non-visible subject points of the picture.

With NightMode, the coloration improves, details remain relatively clear seeing the general picture is somewhat better but still quite high in noise.

When in NightMode mode, it takes 2-3 seconds for the user to take a picture, and the system has to wait for 5-7 seconds to process and save the image.

Illuminated with the wide-angle camera, the images itself in low light cannot be viewed since they can capture at lower resolutions with a lot of noise points, color further away from the actual.

Under night mode, the image becomes less noisy and restores color saturation.

Portrait photos by Nokia 6.2 are fantastic in detail with attractive colors.

The camera on Nokia 6.2 is an 8MP f/2.2 selfie camera, and the only minus point about the camera is that the focus in the image has a fixed background.

The front camera has a portrait mode, but the quality of the image is little average.

With it, the ability to record videos has been improved by the Nokia 6.2 up to 4K on its main camera and 1080p on the wide-angle camera. Color reproduction and dynamic range for videos recorded in 4K is also pretty good.

But at 1080p quality in both cameras, the primary and the wide, the performance is nothing to speak of as far as Nokia 6.2 goes. The one major strength is that it’s “silky smooth” high stability.

Conclusion

Nokia 6.2 is a mid-range smartphone that has borne a lot of expectations from its users. Yet, the device is not astounding, with some admirable qualities like the sleek builds, the Android One system, and the portrait images. Some negatives of the Nokia 6.2 are the average battery capacity and the not-so-impressive camera.

However, recently, HMD has made some really convincing products with eye-catching looks, but with Nokia 6.2, this product would possibly get lost in the crowd of many such smartphones in this price range.
