review features, pricing and features

During the last IFA fair, held in early September, HMD Global officially launched Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 to win Nokia 6.1 and Nokia 7.1, respectively. Among other benefits, both terminals come with triple camera which, in the case of Nokia 7.2, had a 48-megapixel primary sensor and Nokia 6.2, a 16-megapixel sensor.

According to the latest, Nokia 6.2, just passed through our hands so that we can check if, in fact, it leaves us with a good taste in the mouth as it was before. The 6.3-inch FullHD + screen with support for the HDR10 and the Snapdragon 636 are two features found in your cover book.

Nice screen, nice layout

Unlike its predecessor, which had a matte-colored metal back, the Nokia 6.2 is made of form and has that mirror finish, though it can't avoid the presence of fingerprints on a regular basis. gives all the premiums a look. The result is an eye-catching design and comfortable grip. Sure, it's smooth.

In the background, we have a fingerprint reader, a Nokia logo and three main camera sensors mounted on a circular module near the flash. This module, located in the center, emits a lot of organic material, which creates enough dirt to accumulate around it and increases the risk of constipation. Special mention is given here Google Assistant Offer button found on the left side, near the card tray.

The front of the device is almost completely seated with a screen, which replaces it in the top frame of the previous model with a notch stopper. That, combined with the smaller side frames, is achievable more pre-use. The 6.3-inch FullHD + panel offers good viewing in standard terms, with high-quality outdoor lighting and proper phone viewing angles for this segment.

In addition, it has a Corning Gorilla Glass 2.5D Crystal, has an oleophobic layer that works well, provides accurate tactile feedback and is able to convert SDR content to HDR to obtain the maximum dynamic range. So, Nokia 6.2 got a good note in this category, only frustrated by the automatic brightness, which sometimes reduces the screen brightness by forcing us to upload it manually.

In the audio section, Nokia 6.2 has a single speaker at the bottom that emits audio signals that, when the volume rises, it becomes quite overwhelming. It has a socket near that speaker and comes with headphones, which is important to use a built-in FM radio. Don't expect to find the customization settings to match.

Agree to work, the falter in freedom

For this model, Nokia chose the Snapdragon 636 which, in our unit, comes with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expanded storage and MicroSD card up to 512 GB. A more modern chip would have been preferable (Introduced October 2017), but on a day-to-day basis, it offers fluid functionality, multitasking and reference to different menus.

Of course, we experience occasional delays and occasional closures, however nothing hinders your daily use. Or in games like & # 39; Asphalt 9: Myths & # 39 ;, it really fills us with dignity. Here, it is clear that 4 GB plays a basic role, so we do not recommend 3 GB. In the following, we leave you the results for position marks:

This Hardware is compatible with Android One, i the cleanest and cleanest Android. This, in addition to taking two years of system upgrades and three security updates, translates to the complete absence of bloatware and storage space, initially, which provides about 52 GB of 64 available. Against him, as usual, are a few customization options that Google approves.

When it comes to biometric authentication systems, Nokia 6.2 has fingerprint and facial recognition. The first is found in the free space of our index finger, however find other problems to master If the position is inadequate and require two or three support in most cases. Facial recognition, meanwhile, requires a few seconds to identify our faces, and it is slow in our perception.

As for the battery, which has a independence of 3,500 mAh and is compatible with a 10 W load, does not arrive within the two days promised by Nokia. The full charge gives us 6 hours of screen time with auto-light and centralization (using the Internet, social networks, messaging apps, other games, phone calls and video clips), come on, which comes at the end of the day, but not much. Good thing? It takes less than 2 hours to pass from 0 to 100% of power and that half an hour charging gives us 35% independence.

Outstanding night mode on a triple camera

The camera app, signed by Nokia itself, is very accurate and has direct access to key functions. HDR is not in, night mode, Pro mode that allows us to make certain changes manually (white balance, sensitivity, exposure compensation, focus mode and shutter speed) and Portrait mode here called & # 39; Boke Bokeh & # 39; Also notable is the Dual-Sight function, which works in front of the front and rear cameras to capture both planes at the same time.

On the main camera, Nokia 6.2 features a triple suspension made of a 16-megapixel main sensor with f / 1.8 aperture, a wide-angle (118 degrees) of 8 megapixels with f / 2.2 aperture and a 5-megapixel deep sensor. It also has artificial intelligence for scenes recognition and 4K video recording, something enjoyed in theaters of this section.

In enlightened situations, and because of artificial intelligence, Photos mode works well in most cases, although the colors sometimes seem a little muted; and don't expect to configure it in Pro mode because it doesn't make much difference. The wide angle gives us the opportunity to capture more content, but it punishes a stronger distance and is often prominent in the background. As for AF, we have noticed that it fails sometimes, especially for short distances.

Bokeh live mode it allows us to play with the depth of the field finding paintings with an uncluttered background, but also tend to expose and cure excessive pale skin. It has a few trim levels (which has a very strange effect if we misuse it) and offers the option to choose blurred backgrounds for star, heart, butterfly, rain or snow.

When the light goes down, as is usually the case with a cell phone of this category, the Nokia 6.2 camera slightly emphasizes the knee in Photographic mode, but Night mode can save an event prominently in many cases. In fact, we can say that it gets the level of detail well beyond what we are used to. The HDR input is not very large, so in backlight conditions, for example, and we recommend using a night mode that works well.

Now we turn to the front camera, which includes a lens for 8 megapixels at f / 2.0 aperture and use an on-screen flash (we already warn you that it is not advisable to use it). Except for Wide Mode and Night mode, it has the same functions as the rear camera, including Pro mode, HDR and Bokeh live mode with adjustable bezel and background blur (in this case, it uses software for this).

The quality of the selfies, in good light conditions, is acceptable, but again, we have skin tones are very yellow with overlapping domains in most cases, especially when using Bokeh live mode, and producing poor cuts.

For night scenes or low light, as we said, we will not use night mode on the front camera, as well the appearance of noise and the loss of detail are very noticeable, but nevertheless, the result is acceptable. AF also suffers and, in some cases, has produced drawings that do not focus on both live Photographic and Bokeh mode.

In any case, we're talking about a cellphone that costs over 200 euros, and at that price, we can't ask for miracles. For Nokia 6.2 it can boast of a very versatile camera and night mode many higher price centers are already looking for.

Nokia 6.2, an idea for Xataka Android

Like most phones in this price range, Nokia 6.2 has its features and features, but it's all It's satisfying every day. Among its weak points, we find the autonomy that falls below what the product promises, the front-end camera that goes down at night and the old, sometimes, sticky processor. In the audio section, we expect more.

Those defects, however, are compensated by a number of attributes, among which the rear camera night mode appears very high terminals and a screen that offers the best view at standard conditions, except that the default light is off-limits in dark conditions. The pure feeling and commitment of the updates provided by Android One also stand in your power. And that's without forgetting the design, a feature where Nokia has come up a lot when compared to the previous model.

In short, we are facing a model with lights and shadows when we miss a bit (remember that it has an NFC and headphone jack). Go to the market for an official price of 229 euros, a very competitive price even though there are some competing models. Over time, some prices will drop and that's when that big screen and adjustable camera They will make it really worth buying the end.
