    Nice screen: bright enough, big enough, great resolution. Fast for browsing, videos and everyday tasks. Android One phone, already updated to Android 9. No garbage apps to erase. Very good looking. Cons: Camera not as good as the one in my iPhone 8, particularly in low light( $700 Iphone v. less than $200 Nokia). Also, a little heavy although strong aluminum back and frame.

    I'm an iOS user that was looking for a second phone with Android, because of my work as a software developer. The most appealing feature is that this is an Android One device, which offers a very clean version of Android, and will offer timely updates until at least Android 10. It's currently running Android 9 Pie. The CPU is ia Qualcomm 630, which is relatively new and honestly it's plenty for most tasks. The screen is 1080x1920 (Full HD), and it's fine. Text is clear, easy to read at default settings. It has an USB-C connector (USB 2.0 speeds), AC WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0 (This is relatively new and uncommon at this price), NFC (Supports Google Pay), fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone, Zeiss lenses for the rear camera with true-tone LED (White and yellow lights). It has Nano-SIM slot and on the same tray, can add a second SIM card (ie for traveling abroad) or a Micro-SD card up to 127 Gb (One has to choose between the second SIM or the Micro-SD card. Battery has been great. At the end of the day, with moderate use is over 50%.

    I bought this phone when it was discounted for $229. This phone replaced my failing Nexus 6. Overall I am very pleased. Battery life is decent if all you do is surf and use some apps throughout the day. I don't watch many videos or play mobile games, so I can typically go a day and a half on one charge. The phone is quick and responsive and I have had no issues with the fingerprint reader in the two months I have owned it. It will also receive Android updates for the next two years and security patches for three. I am happy I made this purchase.

    I wanted a small phone with good updates, but those aren't really sold anymore. This one was really inexpensive and had been kept up to date. It's a slight step down from the international version, but it has been reasonably quick enough and had been battery efficient so far

    I got this phone as a replacement for my Asus zenphone 3zoom. This is running Android Oreo 8.1 with android one so it's getting all the most up to date updates before others from what I heard. Speed and memory are good, camera is decent, uses USB type C. Battery is surprising pretty good. Comes with a charger, sim key, headphones and butt for the charger, it charges very quickly. Sometimes with to many apps open it bogs down for a minute. It takes really clear 4k video which is great. Speaker phone is good, screen is bright, has HD calling and video calling built in. For 239$ it's a dam good phone. I would recommend

    Bought some of these for my mother and mother-in-law and they love them! It's a solid phone for the price with good battery life and performance. The camera isn't the best but it is a budget phone. Overall, it's a good choice for someone who needs something functional and that won't go out of date too fast (these phones are part of the Android one program)

    Like others my previous phone was a Nexus 5x that was starting to lose a step. This phone is the perfect replacement for a program that was know for delivering value instead of flagship phone specs. I was concerned that the US model came with only 3GB of RAM but with pure Android the phone seems very quick. I also upgraded the onboard 32GB of storage with a 128GB micro sd card. Being part of the Android One program means 2 years of guaranteed updates. The fingerprint sensor is a little small but I have found that after putting a case on the phone the sensor is much easier to locate. I have used google pay with it a couple times and it works great. It also supports Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE on Tmobile. I don't play any games on it, but I haven't had any problems streaming Netflix, Hulu, or Spotifiy. Casting apps to a Chromecast has worked well too. Screen Mirroring to the Chromecast does stutter with video but I never use that feature as most apps support casting now. Overall I have been really happy with my purchase and would recommend this phone to anyone who doesn't feel they need flagship phone specs.

    This phone has been exceptionally good. It has all the features a phone should have and even more. Cameras are great, fingerprint unlock works perfectly, the speed and responsiveness are exactly what a loco needs. If you're into loco things for a loco prize, this is the phone for you.

    Pros *Stock Android. *Security & OS Updates. *Nice looking phone w/ solid build. *Fingerprint reader. *Good processor. *Gaming performance seems good. Cons *Call volume is way too low. Hard to hear if there is any background noise at all. *Bluetooth is unreliable. *Scrolling through Google images is not smooth (not sure if this is the phone or OS). *Phone randomly freezes for around 30 sec about once a day. *Cannot install apps on the SD card, it does not allow you to format the card as internal storage. I've been using this phone for over 2 months and my biggest gripes are with this phones call volume and Bluetooth. The call volume is simply not loud enough and the Bluetooth does not work well. When paired to my car I cannot place calls (but can receive them) because it thinks that I have no cell service and my Bluetooth headphones disconnect frequently. I didn't have either of these issues with my Moto G4. I had a couple of Nokia Windows phones that were fantastic and had high hopes for this phone, however I would not buy this phone again.

    I like plain good cell phones that are just plain reliable. This is it. It does not have any bells nor any whistles. I don't like the massive extras that come with so many phones. I'd rather have a plain phone that is a super reliable. This phone is it. It looks like a $600 phone, but it was on sale for less than $115. Pictures are very not Galaxy/iPhone quality, but are very, very nice. Budget phone with super smartphone look. Voice is very clear and texting is superfast. It has some minor stuff that I have to workaround, but not a deal breaker whatsoever. Glad I got it before they were sold out.

    Since this runs Android One, I'm expecting it to be updated for a while. With Android One, there's no ugly skin ruining the experience. The camera is decent for the price.

    I was looking to buy Samsung Galaxy 9, but really the cost is like buying a computer and a small TV. I asked for a decent phone and this one was recommended. I've had since Oct' 18 and it just keeps impressing me. Fast, sound quality amazing, great photos, downloads any app fast, really this phone works better than I ever thought.

    Good Phone, but

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Good mid-range phone, but some of the specs are not accurate. it is not a 4GB memory it is 3GB, The US only gets 3GB. Runs pretty good. But for me can't customize the way I like it. The weather widgets keeps goinf off the screen and I get the message that i's uploading but never does. So I have the press the screen and replace the weather widget. If you change the fonts size or apps size the widget does not fit. The other thing I don't like is that it is very bulked out and heavy for a phone today. I will be returning the phone tomorrow. If those things are not a problem for you and you are looking for a good heavy bulky mid-range phone with only 32 gb thatn I guess the Nokia 6.1 is for you.

    Coming from an Android 5.1 phone to this was a huge leap. Phone is quick. Camera is good enough although it does freeze up on me every once in a while. Call quality is good. Phone is very pretty and has excellent build quality. Wish storage was bigger but for mid $200s purchase price, it is a great buy!
