Nokia 6 vs Moto G4 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016): specs comparison
The Nokia 6 is the first phone that marks the return of one of the most popular phone makers of the early 2000s and 1990s.
And while this is not the same Nokia that we used to know, the brains behind the new Nokia phones are some of the clever ones that brought to market iconic phones of the past.
The Nokia 6, the first creation of the new Nokia, is a phone that will, at least initially, be exclusive to China. A 5.5-inch device with a Snapdragon 430 under the hood, it will enter the affordable to mid-range segment, priced at the equivalent of some $250. And while we can't help, but think about Nokia phones as rivals to Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxies, the reality of this particular device is that it will compete against similarly priced phones like the Moto G4 Plus and Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016).
So how do they compare? Let's take a look at a good ol' cold-blooded specs comparison right below.
