Don't Buy The Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) in 2019 Without considering the Nokia 5.1 Plus (X5) & GCAM- Review

The Nokia 6.1 Plus (X6) seems like the perfect portable mid ranger on the market in 2019 but the Nokia 5.1 Plus (X5) is faster and more fluid in experience. Here's everything worth considering before you buy either one of them. Also includes camera comparison with GCAM and unboxing.

#NotificationSquad🏆 How necessary is GCAM to you on a scale from 1-10?

[@oludiranjohn4712]

10 GCAM does the magic.

[@lanreoladapo9276]

10. makes a huge difference. HUGE

[@TheIfect]

11. Will literally replace the stock app with GCam.

A good review... Thank you

[@limeart8859]

I'm a big fan of mobile gaming, but, if i have to choose between these two variants, i will go for the Nokia 6.1 plus... It has the balance specifications that's more than enough to fulfill my daily needs. I can 'play' some heavy games without the HD looks. I can take some good photos. I can charge the phone quicker, etc. That's all we need right ?

[@EricOkafor]

You're absolutely right, the X6 is more of an all rounder while the X5 is a master of speed, multi-tasking & hitch free gaming only.

[@SonofaBlacksmith]

@@EricOkafor if you're advising a friend that's not on a budget. Which would you rather I buy? I like the x5 because of the speed that I've seen. But I also like the gcam idea on the X6. I'm also a big fan of battery life. So Which one should I go for?

[@EricOkafor]

@@SonofaBlacksmith I'd say the X5 because it's more stable as a daily driver asides the speed.
