Superior Design Quality

Superior Design Quality

With the arrival of Nokia 6, consumers can see a superior craftsmanship and design quality in action. Outlining the design process, HMD has stated that it takes 55 minutes to build a single Nokia 6 from a solid block of 6000 series aluminum.

The smartphone is then put through two separate anodising processes which take over ten hours to complete. Each phone is also polished no less than five times. The end result Nokia 6 comes with an aluminum unibody with the highest level of visual and structural quality.
