HMD Global is hosting a press conference in India on August 21 where it may announce the Nokia X6 for the Indian market. The company is now sending out invites for the launch event and although it doesn’t exactly mention the phone in question, there’s a high possibility that the Nokia X6 would be that smartphone.
A support page for the Nokia X6 had recently gone live on the Nokia India website seemingly suggesting an imminent launch soon enough.
The Nokia X6, should HMD launch it in India in the days to come, should compete with phones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1.
The Nokia X6 is another Android phone with a notch but it might just be the cheapest phone around to look like an iPhone X. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. The iPhone X costs as much as 1 lakh Rupees. The Nokia X6 starts at a little over Rs 10,000. It would also be one of the cheapest phones around to rock an all-glass body. That glass, for your reference, is Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3.
The Nokia X6 is a modern phone with a 19:9 bezel-less screen that should entail in a screen-to-body ratio of an upwards of 80 per cent. It’s a 5.8-inch phone with 1080+ screen.
The Nokia X6 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, which is the same deal inside the Redmi Note 5 Pro and the ZenFone Max Pro M1. There are three RAM and ROM options. There’s 4GB RAM + 32/64 GB ROM, 6GB RAM + 64 GB ROM. All the versions support expandable storage.
On the software front, the Nokia X6 runs Android 8.1 Oreo, and chances are that it may be launched as an Android One phone in India. The Nokia X6 is further backed by a 3,060mAh battery.
On the optics front, the Nokia X6 comes with a dual camera system on the rear. It comes with one 16-megapixel sensor and another 5-megapixel sensor for depth sensing. On the front, the Nokia X6 has a 16-megapixel camera.
The Nokia X6 is currently available in China at a price of CNY 1299 (approx Rs 13,800) for the 4G + 32GB variant, CNY 1499 (approx Rs 16,000) for the 4GB + 64GB model, and CNY 1699 (approx Rs 18,000) for the 6GB + 64GB version.
