Nokia X6 May Get Global Launch; Teases HMD Chief Juho Sarvikas

The Nokia X6  was launched earlier this month exclusively in China, where it became a hit. At the launch, the company didn’t mention the availability of the smartphone in the Global market. Now, Nokia fans may rejoice as HMD is considering possibly releasing it outside China.

HMD Global’s Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvika, on his official handle @sarvikas, tweeted a poll asking whether the company should bring the Nokia X6 to other markets. The poll has ended, and 92% of 8572 voters have agreed.

Nokia has previously launched the Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus, and Nokia 6.1, but none came with a notched design. The mid-range Nokia X6 is the first to feature the top-notch. The smartphone features a 5.8-inch 2.5D display with a resolution of FHD+ (1080 x 2280 pixels) and 19:9 aspect ratio with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Under the hood, it is powered by an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset. It is available in three configurations: 4GB of RAM + 32 GB internal storage, 4GB of RAM + 64GB internal storage, and 6GB of RAM + 64GB internal storage. All variants have expandable memory options up to 256GB with a microSD card.

In the optics department, the smartphone sports a dual camera setup at the rear of a 16MP primary sensor, a 5MP secondary sensor of f/2.0 aperture, and a 1-micron pixel sensor. The front offers a 16MP camera with f/2.0 aperture for selfies. The cameras have AI features like optimized color contrast, depth of field and portrait lighting effects, HDR, and face recognition. The Nokia-exclusive Bothie mode is also there, with Face Unlocking and a Do Not Disturb mode for gaming. The smartphone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and is backed by a 3060 mAh battery with Quick Charge support.

The X6 is currently priced at CNY 1299 against the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Honor 7X. The Indian variant will surely get the Android P upgrade, making the notch more appealing. But we advise users to take this as a pinch of salt as it’s just speculation, and the smartphone may not make it to the Indian market.
