Nokia's return to the mobile space is now under way with the Nokia 6. But this is just the beginning...
UPDATE: The first Nokia Android phone has FINALLY got official. It’s called the Nokia 6 and will, according to reports, be one of MANY Android phones released by HMD Global throughout 2017.
I know a lot of you have been waiting for this launch for a long time, so we’ll get straight to it. First this is what the handset looks like:
As for specs, you’re looking at 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of on-board storage alongside microSD support, Snapdragon 430 CPU, a 16 megapixel main camera, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
The handset is a solid-black slate sculpted from a single piece of aluminium. The entire frontage is more of less taken up by its 5.5in 1080p display, which measures 5.5in diagonally.
The Nokia 6 will run Android Nougat out the box but, unfortunately, is only launching in China at the moment. The reason? China is still a growth market, so it will be easier for Nokia to establish itself there versus inside the more fixed and stagnant markets of Europe and the US.
This is a mid-range handset. The price will be low, hence HMD’s focus on China where price is a HUGE driving force for adoption. The handset will be priced at around $245, making it very accessible – even in China’s market, alongside brands like Xiaomi.
The Nokia 6 will be available inside early January and will be exclusively available in China via JD.com.
Finger's crossed we’ll see a flagship release from Nokia for the UK and US very soon!
