Nokia 6 vs Vivo V5 vs Gionee A1 vs Moto G5 Plus: Price and Specifications Compared

Nokia 6, a big hit in the Chinese market, is set to venture to other markets, including India, in the second quarter. The Nokia 6 smartphone, the one with the best specifications of the Android phones launched by HMD Global so far, is going to be critical to the Nokia's success as it enters the global stage a second time, and will be a parameter on which the resurgence of the brand will be measured. Of course, Nokia 6 is not the only Nokia Android phone hitting the market this quarter, as Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 will also be launching in this period.

Nonetheless, Nokia 6 is the one that has comparatively better specifications than the others. However, that does not mean the road will be easy for the smartphone, as there are other smartphones currently available in India that will give a tough competition to it in the price range of Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 18,000. That said, we thought of making a comparison of Nokia 6 (priced at EUR 229, roughly Rs. 16,000) with popular smartphones such as Vivo V5 (Rs. 15,249), Gionee A1 (Rs. 17,999), and Moto G5 Plus (Rs. 14,999 for the base model).

While Vivo V5 (Review), Gionee A1 (Review), and Moto G5 Plus (Review) offer mid-range specifications for the mentioned price bracket, Nokia 6 falls short on few of its specifications even though it will likely be priced within the same price range. With no further delay, let us proceed with the comparison.
