The Nokia 6.2 has the same 6.3” 1080p+ screen as its
sibling, complete with HDR10 support. The same 3,500mAh battery with 10W
charging is the same as well. In fact, if not for the lack of ZEISS branding,
you’d be hard-pressed to tell these two apart.
So, let’s talk about the camera. The triple camera
switches to a 16MP main sensor – it can still do image fusion and stacking for
HDR and Night mode, but there’s no pixel binning. The 8MP ultra wide-angle
(118°) and 5MP depth sensors are almost identical, save for the ZEISS lenses.
The selfie camera was also demoted and has an 8MP sensor.
The other major change is the chipset – the Nokia
6.2 uses a Snapdragon 636. Like the 660, it has a CPU with a 4+4 configuration
of A73 and A53-derived Kryo cores, however they run at a lower clock speed. The
GPU has been scaled back as well.
Both the Nokia 6.2 and 7.2 move away from
polycarbonate and aluminum, the most common choices for a phone’s chassis. Instead
they use a polymer composite, which HMD says is twice as strong as
polycarbonate while weighing half as much as aluminum. Gorilla Glass 3 is used
to protect both the screen and the back from scratches.
The Nokia 6.2 will be available in October. The
version with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage will cost € 200, there will also be a
4/64GB version for € 250. The phone will be available in Ceramic Black and Ice.
