Design and Display

Both the Nokia 6 and Cool Play 6 sports metal unibody design. The Cool Play 6 is on a heavier side, because of the large 4000mAh battery, whereas the Nokia 6 has a 3000mAh battery, which makes the device light in hands.

Coming to the display, both the smartphones flaunt 5.5-inch Full HD panels, but the Nokia 6's display is slightly better in colour reproduction. Both the devices offer decent sunlight legibility.

In the design aspect, the Nokia 6 is a winner, while the display is kind of same on both the smartphones.

Hardware

This is where things go wrong with the Nokia 6 because it packs entry-level hardware- Snapdragon 430 chipset, paired with just 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. On the flip side, the Cool Play 6 offers two times better hardware- Snapdragon 653 SoC, working in tandem with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The performance on the Cool Play 6 is miles ahead when compared to the Nokia 6. The slow app load time and poor RAM management are the major drawbacks of Nokia 6.

Camera

The Nokia 6 has a 16MP rear camera, paired with an LED flash. Up front, there's an 8MP selfie camera. The Coolpad Cool Play 6 has dual camera setup of two 13MP sensors at the back, along with an 8MP front-facing camera. Going by on-paper specs, the Cool Play 6 will perform better than the Nokia 6.

Software and Battery

The Nokia 6 runs an absolute bloat free and zero customised version of Android 7.1.1. Nougat, while the Cool Play 6 also runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat with a lot of customizations on top. The user interface of the Coolpad is called as JupiterUI.

The Cool Play 6 wins yet again when it comes to battery department. With its massive 4000mAh battery, the device will easily last better than the Nokia 6 which has a smaller 3000mAh battery.

Conclusion

The Nokia 6 is currently HMD’s premium smartphone which shines with its design and stock Android. The Cool Play 6 has better hardware, bigger battery, and dual cameras. The Cool Play 6 is a better option than the Nokia 6 given at any point of time. That said, if you want a good looking smartphone under Rs. 15,000, get the Nokia 6 without looking for an alternative. If specs matter more for you than looks, the Cool Play 6 has the best specs under Rs. 15,000 price point.
