Nokia 6 is the company’s first smartphone to join Google’s Android One programme.
HMD Global announced today that it will sell a version of the Nokia 6 running a stock version of Android. Nokia 6 is the company’s first smartphone to join Google’s Android One programme. The Finnish company will sell the Nokia 6 with Android One for Eur 279 (or approx Rs 22,196) and will hit the retail shelves in early April. The new Nokia 6 comes in three colour options: Black/Copper, White/Iron and Blue/Gold.
The new Nokia 6 has been upgraded over the 2017 version of the Nokia 6. Unlike the original Nokia 6 which came with a Snapdragon 430 processor, the upgraded version gets a Snapdragon 630 chipset. The base version comes with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal memory, while the top-tier variant features 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. The new Nokia 6 also comes with a USB Type-C port, instead of a regular micro USB connection.
The rest of the specifications are pretty much the same. It comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p Full HD display, a microSD card slot, a 16MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, and a 3000mAh battery. The phone runs Android Oreo out-of-the-box. The “bothie” camera mode introduced with the Nokia 8 also makes its way to the new Nokia 6.
Last month, the 2018 edition of the Nokia 6 was made official in China for 1499 Yuan (or approx Rs 15,306). The Android One variant of the Nokia 6 is the same, except the fact it is running a clean version of Android. The new Nokia 6 is pitched as a premium smartphone in the mid-end segment.
