Before Nokia 6.1 Plus, the company has launched Nokia 6 which was quite boring and didn’t have any impressive reviews, that’s why Nokia renamed X6 to 6.1 Plus.

Moreover, its round edges help to grip it comfortably.
Performance
Nokia 6.1 Plus has Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Chip that is very common in smartphones today.Its display is quite bright and sharp. But its performance is not very nice in regard to apps and games. You see the lag when you start playing heavier games. Aside Gaming, audio quality is great with the headphones (the 3.5mm headphone jack present on the top). On the other hand, the speaker is not too loud. The volume buttons are present above the power button on the right. Voice quality is also fine while using VoLTE and standard 4G networks, but the ear piece has the same issue as in Honor 9N.
The smaller earpiece makes it hard to take calls. Even a slight movement causes misalignment between speakers and earpiece. And this makes it impossible to hear the person on the other side of the call. However, the battery life is good. It lasts for a complete day with the use. And get 100% full battery in about 80 to 90 minutes.
