Nokia joined the growing band of OEMs with notch-packing smartphones last month when it went official with the Nokia X6. The notch display design is getting wide acceptance among manufacturers especially since after Apple utilized the design on the iPhone X. Unfortunately, the design isn’t as popular among fans who are actually the end-users. But since it enables the designer to shave off almost all the bezels at the top in a bid to creating a near bezel-less screen, it may not be leaving very soon.

For those who don’t like the Nokia X6 because of its screen cut-out, Nokia has released a new update for the device. The update avails users of the option to hide the notch by activating a black border on that area. This is similar to the option Huawei included on the notch-bearing P20 series. The OnePlus 6 also has an option to hide the notch. The Nokia X6 update is presently rolling in China and the update comes with a build number of 229D.B01. Apart from this option, the update also brings along a portrait mode, background app restrictions, and application hide feature. There are also some WLAN and game screen touch control-related optimizations. In addition, the update tags along the left swipe function to delete for SMS and a couple of improvements for the user interface.

Last week, HMD Global launched its new smartphone in China — Nokia X6. The smartphone went on sale for the first time today, i.e. 21st May. Now, according to the company, the phone was sold out within 10 seconds of going live. However, the company has not revealed the number of units sold in this first sale of Nokia X6.

The smartphone comes in three color options — Black, Blue, and Silver. As of the pricing, the 4GB RAM + 32GB internal storage model is priced at 1,299 Yuan (approximately $204) while the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage model costs 1,499 Yuan (approximately $236). The top-end model with 6GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage will be available for 1,699 Yuan, which roughly converts to $266.

The Nokia X6 features a 5.8-inch Full-HD+ display with screen resolution of 2280 × 1080 pixels and 19:9 aspect ratio. There’s a notch on top of the display, similar to that of Apple iPhone X. The display is covered by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which protects from minor scratches.

It is powered by Qualcomm‘s recently launched Snapdragon 636 octa-core processor, the same chipset that powers the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, among others. The phone supports microSD card, which enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB.

As for the photography, the device features a dual camera setup, having a 16-megapixel RGB primary sensor with f/2.0 aperture and a 5-megapixel secondary monochrome sensor with f/2.2 aperture. On the front side, there’s a 16-megapixel snapper with f/2.0 aperture and 1.0um pixel size.

Nokia finally took the wraps off the Nokia X6 smartphone in a ceremony held in Beijing China. The X6 is coming as Nokia’s first smartphone with a notch on its display and we must admit the device lived up to expectation, that is if you have no problem with smartphones having a display notch.

Indeed, the Nokia X6 comes with a cut-out on its display which is a compromise on the symmetry so as to create a near bezel-less display design. That is obvious at the top edge and the sides but the chin still has a noticeable bezel. The front design really isn’t very much different from other notch-packing smartphones around except that the cut-out is just moderate in size, a little bigger than the Essential Phone’s and smaller than iPhone X’s. The display size is 5.88 inches with the 19:9 aspect ratio and an FHD+ resolution of 2280 × 1080 pixels. The display gets further protection from a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 panel.

The back of the Nokia X6 is just as premium as the front aspect. While the mid-frame is made of aluminium alloy, the rear panel is wrapped with Corning Gorilla Glass just like the display, giving the device a glass body. The premium look will be available in Black, White and Dark Blue colours. The volume rockers and power buttons lie at the right side of the display while the SIM tray is at the left side.

The device further packs a dual camera setup at the rear which is aligned in a vertical plane at the middle. The rear camera is a 16MP+5MP combo with a 16MP sensor at the front for selfies. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor just under the cameras but there is equally Face Unlock feature onboard. Other top-notch features include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C. The device gets its juice from a 3,060mAh which from experience, isn’t the best they could have done but there is QC 3.0 fast charging technology onboard.
