The results are average (in fact, above average in multi-core thanks to 4GB RAM) for a mid- to low-end device like Nokia 6, which features Snapdragon 430 as the CPU, and 4GB of RAM. The Single-Core score is in the range of Galaxy A5 (2016) (Exynos 7580), Redmi 3(S) (Snapdragon 430 & 616), Moto G4 (Snapdragon 617), while the Multi-Core score is in the range of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon 650), Galaxy S5 Plus8 (Snapdragon 805), Xperia Z3 Compact (Snapdragon 801).

Geekbench and other benchmarking apps cannot be trusted for showing the real performance of a device, but they can give useful information about the hardware. After all, a great deal of everyday performance depends on the manufacturers custom Android UI. As we heard from the first hands on reports from China, Nokia 6 has some sort of ‘Nokia UI’ skin above the Android 7.0 OS, but without bloatware, and reportedly the device behaves very well.
