    Nokia Android Updates

    Have you installed Android 10 yet on your Nokia 6.1? It is working fine on my Nokia 7 plus, so would be interesting to see how it runs on the 6.1

    Nokia Android Updates

    Same thing happened with my Nokia 7Plus, the July SP came though on August the 1st, followed by the August SP on the 16th. Two updates from Nokia in the same month [emoji3]

    NIB Nokia 7 Plus stuck on 1st August 2018 patch, and OS 8.1 after 8 days use.

    Have you tried seeking an update with and without a SIM card? I have heard that network providers can stall software updates, but perhaps that is an old wives tale. My Nokia 7 Plus is on Pie and has just received the July security patch. Updates have been pretty regular and I purchased this as...

    cases for Nokia 6.1

    As suggested above, a simple TPU case enhances grip without being overly intrusive. I use an LK case (linked below), coupled with a tempered glass screen protector. Both were an easy fit and do the job. LK Case for Nokia 6.1 Case, Nokia...

    Nokia 6.1 cracked screen

    My Nokia 6.1 was returned yesterday (ca. 1 week turnaround) with a nice new shiny screen. I have restored all apps from the backup that I made before shipping, and it's all working fine :) Great service from Nokia Mobile Care!

    Nokia 6.1 cracked screen

    I decided to do the repair properly, and replace the screen. So my 6.1 is going back to Nokia via their Mobile Care facility. Seems reasonably priced compared to other third party options I've explored, and it was easy to set up using their web pages. DHL should be collecting today, let's see...

    Nokia 6.1 cracked screen

    I don't know how, as I've never knowingly dropped the handset and the thing rarely leaves my house, but just this morning a significant crack has appeared on my Nokia 6.1; from RH top corner transversing across to the LH side to about 1/3 down. Very irritating and the first time I've...

    Prospective buyer here.. call quality?

    My Nokia 6.1 works well in the UK, so unless there are regional variants of the 6.1 you should be OK in Western Europe. Re Call Quality -- it's perfectly acceptable to me although to be honest, the Nokia 6.1 is not my primary handset and only occasionally gets used as a phone. Others here may...

    Nokia 6.1 just received Android Pie!

    I haven't noticed any reduced performance yet, but it's early days. Actually, I was experiencing some lag issues (non-responsive screen) on my 6.1 prior to the update, that has not been seen so far on Pie, so I'm hoping that has been fixed.

    Nokia 6.1 just received Android Pie!

    A slice of pie was also delivered to my Nokia 6.1 this week, in the UK. Update proceeded smoothly and no problems so far. There are of course, subtle changes to the interface and launcher, but so far I'm liking what I see.

    Any Opera users out there?

    Opera is my first choice browser on Android and my Mac computers. Chrome is great, and probably more capable than Opera, but (in my experience) too much of a memory hog.

    Video Review

    And here's another demonstrating build quality. Painful watching if you look after your smartphones but certainly proves that the Nokia 6.1 is built to last https://youtu.be/VnRduGRQ1fQ
