At its pre-MWC event held tonight, HMD Global launched a number of smartphones including new 8110 4G, Nokia 1, New Nokia 6, Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 8 Sirocco. Of these, the New Nokia 6 is the same Nokia 6 (2018), which was launched in China earlier this year albeit with a couple of nifty additions. Nokia has added wireless charging and Face Unlock in the new variant of the handset.
Coming to the spec sheet of the handset, the New Nokia 6 sports a 5.5-inch full HD display. The all-metal handset features a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, which is a detour from the original Nokia 6 launched last year. In the performance department, the handset is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor. HMD Global is offering the handset with 3GB RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. Out of the box, the device runs Android Oreo and being a part of Android One branding, is expected to receive regular security updates and future updates for the next two years.
Moving on to the imaging department, the device gets a 16-megapixel shooter accompanied by an LED flash on the rear panel. As for the selfies and video calling, there is an 8-megapixel secondary shooter on the front. Both cameras on the smartphone feature an aperture of f/2.0. In the connectivity department, the device comes with 4G LTE, USB Type-C, dual-SIM slots, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and A-GPS. A 3,000mAh battery under the rear panel keeps the light on throughout the day for the handset.
HMD Global is offering the New Nokia 6 in three hues – Black and White. The handset will be made available to consumers in April 2018 and will come with a starting price tag of €279 (~Rs 21,000).
