With the Nokia 6.2, we put the latest model from the 6-series through our tests. Nokia only equips its mid-range model with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636. The mid-range processor from the American semiconductor manufacturer residing in San Diego has been unveiled in 2017, meaning it has been on the market for more than two years; thus it is not exactly state of the art in terms of performance.

As with Google Pixel phones, the Nokia 6.2 uses stock Android. In return for accepting a minimalist, vanilla user interface, users receive Android version updates for at least two years. Furthermore, the system is responsive thanks to the lean UI of Android One. During daily use, the Snapdragon 636 combined with 4 GB of RAM allows for fairly smooth system navigation, even though the performance drops noticeably when it comes to multi-tasking or demanding games. While the Nokia smartphone achieves good scores in our benchmarks, there is a large performance discrepancy between the results of the Snapdragon 712 inside the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE or the Mediatek Helio G90T inside the Redmi Note 8 Pro and our Nokia 6.2.
