Did you not hear that it's from HIS point of view,meaning different people=different views ... Btw, I've made a personal research and I'll change only 2 things... selfie cam-Nokia x6 Redmi note 7 Huawei Y9 rear cam-Redmi note 7 Nokia x6 Huawei Y9 processor- Y9 & note 7 draw goodnight
AirVaans: Jumia starts selling today... I'm waiting for 12pm to place order... Other offline stores starts selling next Monday.... If not for anything else, I'm all in for the Battery and the Gorrila Glass 5 FHD plus display
The processor isn't that bad too, and I hear it has an update for improved lowlight photos waiting ... It could really be a sellout this year..I just hope it comes with a long warranty though
PhenomenalMorgan: Best processor... Huawei Y9 Best battery... Huawei Y9 Best build quality... Redmi note 7 Best display... Nokia X6 Best Software UI... Depends on whether you like stock android or MiUI or EMUI Most prone to software updates... Nokia X6 Best Customer support... Nokia X6 Also Redmi note 7 - IR blaster, Make your choice... Best camera... I think Redmi note 7
Don't let people deceive u my dear best processor- Y9 cuz of the 12nm aspect best battery- Y9 best build quality- X6 premium glass uni-body design best display- X6 best software UI- what he said... Most prone to updates- X6 cuz of stock android best customer support- up for debate, I've been told that the Nokia customer service could be better IR blaster isn't THAT important really best camera:- for selfies- Y9 cuz of the additional 2mp depth sensor if not for anything else, followed by the X6 cuz of the 1.0 high micron value then lastly, the note 7 cuz of the low 0.8 micron value rear camera- note 7 followed by the X6 followed by the Y9 I'd advise you to go for the Y9

henry007: If you want a lightweight Nokia phone, Nokia 3.1 Is your best bet. Not any means a fast or high performing smartphone but it weighs in at 138.3g
You can also use phone finder on GSMarena yourself to get any of the lightweights
The guys at gsm arena don't always get all the specs right more often than not, I suggest you go to techpoint.com or 91mobiles.com and search for the x5.... you'll even get an unbiased review, pros & cons and also overall ratings on different specs of the phone based on a compilation of expert reviews which you are also shown.... long story short, u can never go wrong concerning phone specs using those two sites cheers
Mizik: the 48mp Samsung sensor is actually also a 12mp. It doesn't really produce 48mp photos
Oh yes it does , though the difference between the 12 & 48mp cameras ain't glaringly different .... plus you can only access that camera setting in pro mode
DaveHert: All of u that will just be commenting and quoting people anyhow without even reading. When did I say anything abt a P20 processor? Is it that my name resembles that of Troublemaker101 :
Mission accomplished , happy easter guys PS:Remember when I said I know people who own the x5?.. I said I even took a pic with it which made me opt for the x6, well those guys absolutely love their phones ... except for one who has terrible issues with his pie update but even at that he can't leave it alone for a minute ... Btw, I'm still getting the Xiaomi note 6 tho
DaveHert: I was going to walk away after reading ur comment but there is something u said that really, really pisses me off.
Am not sure what u r basing ur comment on but if I had the option of rebuying a phone, it would still be the Nokia X5. Why?
Battery: contrary to what u stated above, the Nokia X5's battery is the most optimized battery usage in all the phones I have ever used (Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, S6 Edge and Galaxy J6 plus), I have never used a Xiaomi, Tecno or an Infinix phone but a few people I know do and from their observed usage, i can tell u I haven't met anyone whose phones battery seems better optimized than the X5.
Let me explain, let's say I charge my phone to 100% and just want to watch movies all day, it take approximately 1hr 15mins for my battery to drop to 99% and I can watch movies all day from 8am to 7pm and I'll still have around 60% battery left, mind u both WiFi and data are turned off. .
On a normal days usage of surfing the net, chatting and moderate gaming on the go, I still end up with between 30% to 50% juice left by the time I get home around 8pm, to be honest, my X5 has never seen 30% battery since I got it two months ago. Like I said, never have I used a phone with such well optimized battery.
Processor: I think this is where the X5 makes a home run. The X5 is easily the fastest phone I have used and I can proudly say my X5 has never hanged or temporarily slowed down on me, not even once. It can handle pretty much everything you throw at it and still have room to spare. Opening, closing and multitasking between apps has never been this fast for me, now I am starting to believe Samsung might have lost a loyal customer in me, not even the Galaxy S10 interests me anymore
Design: Another home run for the X5. The phones design is simply a thing of beauty, it's so nicely designed that it's always pulling in admirers when ever I pull it out to use in public. Even though I think the notch could have been just a little smaller, it still gives the phone an aesthetic appeal that resembles that of an iPhone, especially when using apps with full white backgrounds, like Instagram and reading in your browser, it never fails to appeal to onlookers. So far 3 people I know have gotten this phone just from seeing it once in my hands and 2 others are planning on buying it as soon as it gets restocked. The only issue is that the phone looks so good that after trying on a pouch and screen guard and seeing how ugly it was in comparison to the phones design, I dumped both and have been using the phone like that... Yeah as u can guess, some bitch I gave the phone to admire let it slip off her hand and cracked my outer screen slightly. Well I'll have to order a replacement from AliExpress, and it's quite cheap.
Network Support: Although I initially had my reservations about buying a phone that seemed to support fewer LTE bands than it should, I still went ahead with getting this phone because the pros seemed to outweigh the cons, and I am so glad I did, so far it supports every networks 4G I had hoped it did, with exception to Glo's 4G, mine supports Airtel 4G, Etisalat 4G, Ntel 4G and surprisingly MTN 4G also works. I have no issue with it not supporting Glo's 4G as even the Glo's H+ speed is good enough to not be crazy about its 4G, in my area that is. So unless u r strictly on Glo's bandwagon, then don't make this a factor for not getting the phone.
Speaker & Charging: The phones speaker is surprisingly louder than I had anticipated, louder than all my previous phones. It's surprising because it only has one speaker outlet and yet it's quite loud, which is quite a bonus.
Even though the X5 does not support fast charging on paper, it does charge fast enough for me, I usually get my phone fully charged in less than an hour, mind u it's never flat, maybe from 33% to 100% in under an hour. So that's a plus.
Affordability: Getting a phone with this good a spec and aesthetic design that can make an onlooker drool over your phone at such a cheap cost is pretty much a dream come true. It never fails to disappoint me when someone asks me what phone am using and i say Nokia, Lol... u need to see the suprise and sometimes shock that appears on their faces. Samsung would charge u a 100+ for that, and this is coming from a Samsung loyalist. Enough said.
Issue: The only issue I can honestly point out that pisses me off on a regular basis is Android PIE, it has a fu*ked up ram management optimization, I can't even leave my apps running in the background without pie dropping the axe on them, it even kills 3rd party download managers downloading in the background once u leave it and some other app all running and go do something like say check you instagram.. Pie fu*ks u over of course i love all the features that comes with Pie, but ram management is so not one of them. But that can always be fixed in an update.
To sum it all up, if I had to rebuy a phone... You can bet it would still be the Nokia X5.
So saying the phone is not worth it when u neither own or use one is an insult to others using it, I personally find that to be quite insulting as I believe the phone is worth more than I got it for.
Omo na u e pain pass ... ooooo , why this nairaland no get heartbreak emoji
Man, I've really thought about these phones (x6 & x5), and I've come to the conclusion that they ain't worth it ... I mean, you're spending 64/48k on a phone that you're not even sure if at all it's going to support your preferred network's 4G mode, it's known to have multiple hardware or software issues (the fact that it's fine now doesn't mean it'll be fine after 2 months ), upon all there's no warranty and you'll have to pay a lot of money just to get it done after a fault(I hope for your sake it's not the glass or charging port ), the battery isn't really cool at the end of the day(no matter how many optimisation processes u use) and there are other phones in that price range with better cameras... not to mention the fact that the one with the outstanding mtk p60 processor has ram management issues while the other with OK ram management has a less than average processor.... to top it all up, the Nokia we grew up with, the Nokia that created those magnificent bulletproof torchlight phones and the lumia series is now just a marketing name , the real company producing these phones is called HMD.. omo, as someone with a 65K phone budget, I think the Xiaomi brand has something better to offer in form of the note 5 & 6 pro It's not that I'm discouraging people o (sincerely I don't think I've said anything here that isn't true ), experiences differ, I'm just saying my honest view of the whole thing.... isn't that what the nairaland forum is for??
henry007: I wasn't talking about GCAM, i meant the UI on X6. While using apps or just scrolling, it can hang for no reason on Android 9 Pie. Meanwhile, GCAM isn't optimized for other phones as it is on Google Pixel so don't expect it to be as fast as your normal camera app.
oh oh, my bad.... pie is known to have many issues, yours being one of them . I think it's cuz it's a beta version thats why
henry007: I take it you've seen all my reviews and comparisons, if you've not, you can't understand the following.
X6 has the GCAM advantage. Also has the software glitch disadvantage, which leads to annoyings hangs for 4-5 seconds, sometimes more. Basically, I can't recommend X6 to anyone that isn't super into GCAM. Nokia X5 is the way to go for Nokia lovers. TECNO Camon 11 Pro has only HD+ display, Camon X Pro has a dated design now. Both cameras are on par with Nokia X6 without GCAM.
You can buy X6 with hopes that you don't get those occasional hangs. Ask other users if they have that software issue on Android 9 Pie, it might just be me.
Yeah I watched them all and I understand the GCAM factor perfectly... frankly, you're the first and only person I've heard complain about GCAM lags , but as I'm not a GCAM freak I think I'm safe from that particular issue .. Thanks alot for the info though
henry007: Watch the X6 review on Page 1 for photo samples.
There's also a side by side comparison with X5 selfies in that video, i think.
Oh cool ... hey, you're that dude that does reviews on phones right? . I need your honest answer in this dilemma If u were to pick between the camon x/11 pro and the Nokia x6 cameras, which would you pick and why? ... biko be brutally honest
Draw Between Nokia & Xiaomi...Tecno loses simply because Mediatek processors for now, are inferior to Qualcomm in terms of power management & efficiency. Don't argue , just Google it thanks �
Don't argue, just Google anything you don't understand or disagree with thanks
Actually, the camera specs of the note 6 pro are as follows Rear cameras:- 12mp (1.9 aperture) + 5mp (2.2 aperture) making a total number of 4.1 aperture Front cameras:-20mp (2.0 aperture) + 2mp (2.2 aperture) which gives a total of 4.2 aperture but the reality is that the note 6 pro's camera is the best rear camera wise cuz it has a lower number or total apertures and higher micron values and also wins in the front camera aspect cuz of the 2mp depth sensor and higher micron values PS: just as apertures get better as their value decreases, microns get better as their value increases
georgeonyia: Please oo...Nokia x5 camera is not better than camon 11's.... But Nokia x5 ai and interface is far more better than camon 11's
I know that now ... u no fit do daylight camera test?, make people know exactly wetin dem dey get camera wise because na so so talk dem dey talk since without proof
Mckandre: note 6 pro has a gorrilla glass 3, infrared blaster (universal remote), dual front camera,fast charge 3, powerful 4000mah battery,constant firmware updates and finally less expensive. Whatelse does nokia x6 has over redmi note 6pro? If not for slightly better camera and higher screen ppi which u will hardly notice any difference. Nokia x6 wont last in battery endurance test considering the fact they both ve same chipset running on 14nm process technology. Make ur choice wisely
Dual front cameras, and still falls behind the x6...ewooo
Alexabeb291: Nokia X6 features a 2.5D Gorilla glass design on both the front & back which gives the device a premium look, while the Nokia X7 only has this design on the front but it frame is made using aluminum which i prefer to the one adopted on X6. These two phones look so much alike but they have their differences but choosing between these two might be somehow difficult, the X7 has ZEISS optic camera which the X6 doesn't have while the X6 spots a 16MP + 5MP back camera and the X7 is equipped with 12MP + 5MP and so on.
Particularly about the camera, i can't really see much of a difference at the rear side but the front camera definitely made a difference, Nokia X6 got a higher score there and the bezel to the bottom of the Nokia 7.1 is kinda big compared to Nokia 6.1 Plus.
Hey guys , can someone not just take a selfie with the x6? .... We no dey look whether u fine or u wowo , na just the camera quality we dey try grab.... I just saw a lowlight selfie with the x5 on the "NOKIA USERS GET IN HERE" thread .... And it's a massive NO NO!!!!
