Life-Proof Smartphone Designs

The Nokia 6 is a Durable Smartphone with Impressive Specs

The Nokia 6 is a new durable smartphone from the brand that aims to push the capabilities even further when it comes to offering a rugged design for users to make it one of the first life-proof products on the market.

The Nokia 6 features a full metal exterior that is crafted from aluminum, while the display features Corning Gorilla Glass that makes it inherently resistant to scratches and damage.

The durable smartphone is outfitted with a 16MP camera on the back and an 8MP camera on the front, while the HD display is capable of being perfectly visible even in direct sunlight. The Nokia 6 is rounded off with Dolby Atmos dual speakers that work to inhibit the need for a separate speaker when enjoying music.
