Overall speed

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Would you say that the Nokia 6 is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Nokia 6 exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Very sluggish device, the only thing that saves it is using stock android.
Camera takes 4 seconds to open on touble power tap from sleep mode which is almost a dealbreaker.

Fast and built very good.

This phone is not a flagship . OK now that we understand that this is not a flagship I can tell you this phone does everything my iPhone 7 and my galaxy s8 does . my Nokia 6 currently has 118 apps installed with a 64gb SD card in have no lag problems at all . you will notice a few times some delay but nothing that is even an issue . camera takes 3-4 seconds to open. Come on 4 seconds are people really crying because of 4 seconds.

This is an amazing phone for $228

I bought this phone as a replacement for my Nexus 6P that was suffering from a boot loop issue (c'mon Huawei, get your poop in a group - 13 month old phones shouldn't crap out for no reason!!).
I knew the CPU was under-powered compared to my N6P but I can't afford another premium device at this time as I'm still paying off the N6P via installments. I bought the subsidized version with Amazon Ads for $180
Initial impressions were great but now that I've owned it for a little over a week, I can confirm my thoughts. I've yet to find any app or even the few games I play that are noticeably slower on this phone compared to my N6P - 143 apps and counting.
I can only think of 2 issues I have with the phone's performance. Amazon Ads on the lockscreen suck and the camera takes a few seconds to open. Once opened, it snaps good pics relatively quickly and I really cannot complain about the delay all things considered.

What SoT do you get? Shall I go for the non ads Nokia 6?

What SoT do you get? Shall I go for the non ads Nokia 6?

I've gone from 6 am to 10 pm with about an hour of calls and 2-3 hours of SoT total before bed at 10 and never charged it.

As to the question for the Amazon ad version, it's entirely up to you. You can always opt to pay the money down the road to remove them later or try to hack the phone to remove them.

So far so good

I have the Nokia 6 TA-1025. I was looking for something economical yet had some decent hardware. I went through 2 Nexus 6's and wasn't going to risk another tablet sized phone slipping out of my fingers. The speed on this phone is definitely more than sufficient for my use. It is more responding than what my Nexus 6 was. The battery life very excellent as well.
