Say hello everyone to Nokia 6. The first of many Nokia smartphones under HMD.

9 January 2017

Nokia has unveiled its long anticipated Android Nougat powered Nokia 6 which has been launched exclusively in China.

The smartphone is a proper midranger which looks fantastic from the press images (or I’m just too nostalgic from the news). A few words from the press release.

Our ambition is to deliver a premium product, which meets consumer needs at every price point, in every market. We start today, with our premium, high quality Nokia 6; built to deliver a fantastic core user experience for Chinese consumers. We look forward to unveiling further products in the first half of this year.
