A new comparative in which the latest mid-range phablet of Xiaomi You will have to fight with another of the most popular models. In this case, in addition, the price difference is somewhat less than the one that separated it from the Galaxy J7 2017 or the Moto G5S Plus. With which of the two do you stay? We help you decide: My A1 vs Nokia 6.
Designer
You already know that in this new stage Nokia Not only has it moved to Android, but the design of its devices has changed a lot, leaving behind the plastic in bright colors that characterized it and joining the list of manufacturers, already very wide, that offers us a metal casing in the mid-range . With both, we will also have a fingerprint reader.
Dimensions
We have already seen in other comparisons that the We are A1 It is a larger phablet than those with screens of the same size usually are, but the Nokia 6 it is also, so the difference here is much less striking (15,54 x 7,58 cm against 15,4 x 7,58 cm). Not only are they fairly close at that point, but they are also practically tied for weight (165 grams against 169 grams) and only in thickness does the phablet of Xiaomi (7,3 mm front 7,9 mm).
Screen
In the screen section, we do not have any difference to pull to tip the balance from one side or the other, since both conform to what has been normal to expect from devices of this type today: screen of 5.5 inches with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) and a pixel density of PPI 401.
Unlimited
In the performance section, however, we do find a notable difference between the two, with several points that give the customer an advantage. We are A1: your processor is more powerful to begin with (Snapdragon 625 eight-core and with a maximum frequency of 2,0 GHz compared to Snapdragon 430 eight-core and 1,4 GHz maximum frequency); It also has more RAM memory in the basic model (4 GB against 3 GB); and, finally and although this is something more subjective, it comes with a pure Android (in both cases, yes, we have Android Nougat).
Storage capacity
Another point in favor of We are A1 is the storage capacity: the phablet of Xiaomi arrives with 64 GB internal memory, while in the Nokia we have half (32 GB). It is true that this is more a merit of the first than a defect of the second, in any case, and with both we will have a card slot micro-SD, which always helps to fill the gaps that we may find ourselves with.
Cameras
El We are A1 has in its favor the claim of arriving with a dual camera, so fashionable, and the aperture of its cameras is f / 2.0 in both cases, but if we look at the number of megapixels, the victory should be given to the Nokia 6, both for the main camera (12 SM against 16 SM) as for the frontal (5 SM against 8 SM). It depends a bit, therefore, on the characteristics that we consider most important.
Autonomy
If we start by taking a look at the battery of each of them, we find that by capacity they are quite close, with a relatively small advantage for the We are A1 (3080 mAh against 3000 mAh). If we add to that that they are tied on the screen and that the processor of the Nokia 6 it is even less powerful, in independent autonomy tests we should find that they score in a similar way, or even better the second. In practice, however, if we look at the gsmarena data, it turns out that the victory is for the Xiaomi phablet, with 80 hours of duration with moderate use, compared to the 62 hours that the Nokia one achieves.
Xiaomi Mi A1 vs Nokia 6: final balance of the comparison and price
At first the Nokia 6 appeared in Spain with a price of 250 euros, but in practice it is difficult to find it for those quantities, although in many distributors it continues to appear with prices below 300 euros. In any case, the advantage remains for the We are A1, which is normally sold for just over 200 euros.
The main problem, however, is not the price difference, but rather that in most sections we will be paying more for a device that falls a step behind in technical specifications, especially in three issues that may be of vitally important: performance, storage capacity and autonomy.
