Nokia 6.1 price in Malaysia starts from RM649, putting it in budget territory alongside a Snapdragon 630 chipset paired with either 3 GB or 4 GB RAM. Storage comes in 32 GB or 64 GB variants, and there's a microSD slot for adding up to 256 GB more if you need it. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD runs at full HD resolution with a pixel density around 403 ppi, sharp enough for text and video on a screen this size.

On the camera side, you get a 16 MP rear sensor with Zeiss optics and phase-detect autofocus, plus an 8 MP front camera for selfies and video calls. The 3000 mAh battery isn't huge by today's standards, but 18W fast charging helps it recover quickly, hitting 50% in half an hour.

Running as part of the Android One program, the 6.1 shipped with Android 8.1 Oreo and was upgradable to Pie, meaning cleaner software with fewer preinstalled apps. A rear fingerprint sensor, NFC, and a Type-C port round out the practical side of things.
