Another that is undoubtedly among the best mid-range phablets of the moment and what we have to face in a comparative With the last one from Samsung it is the one from Nokia, which in fact we knew about it a long time ago but it can only be bought in our country also since this summer: Galaxy J7 2017 vs Nokia 6, Which of the two offers us a best quality / price ratio?
Designer
Although in its time Windows the smartphones of Nokia They were characterized in the design section by their shiny plastic casings and although the model that we see in our cover photo due to the brightness may not seem so, the Nokia 6 It is also made with a metal casing and also comes with a fingerprint reader, like the Galaxy J7 2017, so in this sense, it is already a question of aesthetic preferences.
Dimensions
In terms of dimensions, once again we find that the Galaxy Prime J7 is more compact than its competitor (15,25 x 7,48 cm against 15,4 x 7,58 cm) but loses weight (181 grams against 169 grams), so it is a question of which of the two factors is more important to each. Where they are practically even is in thickness (8 mm against 7,9 mm).
Screen
Equality is almost absolute in the screen section, as it usually happens with phablets of this range, in which it is normal to have a screen of 5.5 inches with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), which leaves us with a pixel density of PPI 401. The only element that breaks the equality is the fact that the phablet of Samsung It comes with Super AMOLED panels, like all its flagship devices.
Unlimited
Despite that el Galaxy J7 2017 It is not one of the most powerful mid-range, it still has an advantage over the Nokia 6, which in this section is closer almost to the basic range, especially with regard to the processor (Exynos 7870 eight core to 1,6 GHz against Snapdragon 430 eight core to 1,4 GHz), because it is true that in RAM it is at the level, with 3 GB in the standard model and even with a higher version with 4 GB. The two arrive, in any case, with Android Nougat.
Storage capacity
The situation is reversed in the section of storage capacity, which is the weakest in the Galaxy J7 2017, which offers us only 16 GB internal memory, while with the Nokia 6 yes we will have the 32 GB which are already common. With either of the two we can resort to external storage, on the other hand, because both have a micro-SD card slot.
Cameras
The phablet cameras Samsung They have wider apertures (f / 1.7 vs f / 2.0), but when it comes to the number of megapixels, we have a distribution of points: Nokia 6 wins when it comes to the main camera (13 SM against 16 SM) And the Galaxy J7 2017 on the front13 SM against 8 SM).
Autonomy
In this duel we can already offer you data from comparable real use tests to judge more definitely which of the two offers us better autonomy, and it must be said that the battery capacity data (3600 mAh against 3000 mAh) put us on the right track, because the initial advantage of the Samsung is confirmed later, and in a convincing way, in the independent tests of gsmarena that we use as a reference (108h against 62h). It must be said, yes, that it is more merit of the Galaxy J7 2017 that has turned out to perform very well in this section that failure of the Nokia 6.
Galaxy J7 2017 vs Nokia 6: final balance of the comparison
The main competitive advantage of Nokia 6 It is undoubtedly its price, since it can be bought in our country for 250 Euros, Whereas the Galaxy J7 2017 has been launched by 340 Euros. Depending on when you read this, it is possible that the price difference has balanced a bit, but the question will basically remain what we are willing to sacrifice to save a little when choosing phablet.
It must be said that not as much as we could fear because the Nokia 6 It has a great quality / price ratio, but unfortunately, the sections in which it falls behind the Galaxy J7 2017 They are very important: it is less powerful, it has a much shorter autonomy and many may also want a better camera for selfies. What we can say in your favor against the phablet of Samsung is that it has much more storage capacity, although it is true that this is something that micro-SD cards can help us compensate.
