Nokia 6.1 was first launched in Hong Kong last month under Google’s Android One initiative.
HMD Global recently launched the global variant of the Nokia X6 smartphone rebranded as the Nokia 6.1 Plus in Hong Kong. The company has now released a teaser on the Nokia Mobile India Twitter account, suggesting that India might be the next targeted market for the Nokia 6.1 Plus.
Nokia is asking its fans to participate in a contest to join the next exclusive launch event in the country. It is being assumed that the company is referring to the Nokia 6.1 Plus launch event considering the fact that a support page for the same recently emerged on the Indian website of the company. The listing was later removed. The Nokia 6.1 Plus was launched in Hong Kong under Google’s Android One initiative for HKD 2,288 (approximately Rs 20,000).
The Nokia 6.1 Plus sports a 5.8-inch full-HD+ display with a display resolution of 2280×1080 pixels. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor paired with the Adreno 509 GPU. The device comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage expandable up to 400GB via a microSD card. It runs Google’s Android 8.1 Oreo operating system and is backed by a 3,060mAh non-removable battery.
