Nokia Mobile has confirmed through its Twitter account that it will be launching a new smartphone on August. The tweet claims that the phone launching in the coming week is “one of the most awaited phones”. Could it be the Nokia 9 flagship phone or the international edition of the Nokia X6?

Except for few brands like Motorola and Nokia, almost all major smartphone manufacturers have launched Snapdragon 845 powered smartphones. Last year, HMD Global had launched the Nokia 8 flagship phone in August. Early rumors had claimed that Nokia 9 may go official in August or September with advanced specs like curved OLED screen, in-screen fingerprint reader, Snapdragon 845, 8 GB RAM, triple rear cameras and more. The Nokia 9 with SD845 is surely one of the most awaited phones of this year, but the Aug. 21 launch event teasers released by the company do not really suggest that it will be launching a flagship phone next week.

HMD Global had launched the Nokia X6 as its first notched smartphone earlier this year in China. Since then the Nokia fans from various markets have been requesting the Finnish company to make it available outside China. Hong Kong and Taiwan are the only markets that have received the same handset as Nokia 6.1 Plus so far. Multiple markets such as Russia, Malaysia and India are also expected to soon receive Nokia 6.1 Plus handset.

Also, the user guide of the Indian edition of the Nokia 6.1 Plus was spotted recently. Hence, it seems that the Nokia 6.1 Plus may get announced in the coming week in India and some other markets. It is likely to go official as Android One handset.

Google officially announced the arrival of Android 9 Pie and the company is already making it available to Pixel devices. After the Pixel devices, the search engine giant is expected to make the Android 9 Pie to devices that are listed under Android One program. Since HMD Global had confirmed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 that all Nokia smartphones above Nokia 2 will join the Android One program, many Nokia phones are expected to receive Android 9 Pie update earlier than other smartphones from other companies. Today, through an official blog post, Google has confirmed that all the Android One devices and other phones that have joined the Android P Beta program will be treated with Android 9 Pie by the end of the fall.

All the Nokia Android One phones that are slated to receive the Android 9 Pie update Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6 (2018), Nokia 6.1 Plus (Nokia X6), Nokia 5.1 Plus (Nokia X5), Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 2.1. Among these, the Nokia 7 Plus is expected to get the final Android P update by the end of this month since it is one of the smartphones that have been enrolled in the Android P beta program.

Apart from Android One phones by HMD Global, other Nokia phones are also confirmed to receive Android P update. Around two months ago, Neil Broadley who is the global market manager of HMD Global had said that the Android P will be made available to entire Nokia portfolio. These means that other older Nokia phone such as Nokia 8, Nokia 7, Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3, Nokia 2 and Nokia 1 will be also treated with Android 9 Pie. However, as mentioned above, Nokia Android One phones will be the first ones to be blessed with Android Pie.

Recently, the phone’s support page went online in India. Given that the phone is currently rolling out globally, there are high chances that HMD Global is planning to launch Nokia 6.1 Plus in India. Other than that, the company could possibly launch Nokia 5.1 or Nokia 2.1. We cannot deny the possibility of HMD Global releasing all three smartphones in India at the same launch event.

The first market to receive the Nokia X6 outside of China is Hongkong. Lastly, the smartphone was introduced as Nokia 6.1 Plus in the country.

As far as Indian launch of Nokia 6.1 Plus is concerned, a recent report had claimed that the smartphone may get official in August or September. Now that the user guide of the smartphone has surfaced on Indian edition of the official Nokia website, it seems that the phone may hit the market early.

The appearance of the user guide is not a direct proof to judge the arrival of a smartphone in a particular market. However, it could be hint that its launch could be close at hand. The user guide of Nokia 6.1 Plus for the Hong Kong market does not include its Indian SAR information. Since it is a user guide meant for the Indian version of the Nokia 6.1 Plus, it seems that the Finnish firm may unveil it soon in India.

India has recently received the all new Nokia 3.1 with a price tag of Rs. 10,449 (~$152) and the upcoming Nokia 6.1 Plus will be the first notched smartphone from the company for India.

Rumors have been claiming that the Finnish firm will be expanding the X series by launching more phones with notched display design. Recent leaks have revealed that Nokia 5.1 Plus (aka Nokia X5) is next notched phone from the firm. A leaked photo of the promo poster of the smartphone has appeared on Baidu forum. The leakster who has revealed the image claims that the Nokia X5 will be launching on July 11 along with its pricing. He has also claimed that Nokia smartphones Snapdragon 710 and Snapdragon 845 are also slated to debut in the coming months.

According to the leakster, the Nokia X5 will be announced on July 11. Its 32 GB and 64 GB storage models are expected to be respectively priced at 799 Yuan (~$120) and 999 Yuan (~$150). It seems that the Nokia X5 will be arriving in China with an attractive price tag. However, the Finnish firm is known for launching its smartphones with costlier pricing outside of China.

The TENAA listing of the smartphone has revealed that it will be coming with a 5.86-inch HD+ resolution display that will offer 19:9 aspect ratio. A 2.0 GHz octa-core processor is expected to be present under the hood of the phone. It is expected to arrive in RAM options such as 3 GB, 4 GB and 6 GB and storage options like 32 GB and 64 GB.

It will be featuring a 13-megapixel primary sensor in its dual camera setup. For selfies, it has a frontal shooter of 8-megapixel. It will be powered by 3,000mAh battery. The Android 8.1 Oreo OS will be preinstalled on the phone. The other features of the phone include microSD card slot, a rear-mounted fingerprint reader and color options like blue, blue and white.

Coming back to leaked information that has appeared on Baidu, the leakster claims that the SD710 and SD845 Nokia phones are also slated to debut in the third quarter of the year. Rumors have it that the Nokia X7 is another X-series phone from the company. There is a possibility that Nokia X7 could be the upcoming Snapdragon 710 powered smartphone from the firm.

As far as the Snapdragon 845 powered Nokia flagship is concerned, it is speculated to arrive with exciting features such as in-display fingerprint scanner and topnotch cameras. It is speculated to debut as Nokia A1 Plus.

A couple of months ago, HMD Global launched Nokia X6, the company’s first smartphone that features a trendy notch on top of the display. The smartphone went on sale a few times and went out of sale within a few seconds in almost every flash sale.

At the time of the launch, the company had announced that the Nokia X6 will be available in three color options — Dark Blue, Polar White, and Stark Black. After a few sales of the Nokia X6, the company has finally decided to start selling the Polar White color variant.

Starting today, the HMD Global‘s Nokia X6 Polar White color variant will be available for purchase. Currently, it is offered in only one variant — 6GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, priced at 1,699 Yuan, which roughly converts to $254.

The smartphone comes with 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 and 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, which also powers the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, among others. The phone is available in two variants — 4GB RAM with 32GB / 64GB internal storage and the 6GB RAM variant which packs 64GB internal storage.

There’s also a microSD card slot, which enables users to further expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 256GB. Coming to the camera department, the smartphone 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.

For the camera, there are artificial intelligence (AI) features for improved photography, such as optimized color, field and portrait lighting effects, as well as face recognition. It also offers the Bothie feature, which enables users to use both front and rear cameras simultaneously.

It also comes with a Face Unlock feature as well as a fingerprint sensor placed on the back panel. Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C.

The Nokia X6 runs on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out of the box and also comes with Do Not Disturb mode for gaming. The device is fuelled by a 3,060mAh battery which supports Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology that can deliver up to 50 percent of charge in 30 minutes.

After witnessing success with the Nokia X6 smartphone in China, the Finnish company is now gearing up to launch the device in the global markets. Recently, the phone was shortly listed on the company’s website and then the support page for the smartphone went live on Nokia India website.

The post Nokia X6 Polar White color variant goes on sale for 1699 yuan ($254) appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD Global appears to have a new Nokia 6 phone in the works. No, this isn’t the Nokia 6.2 but the Nokia 6.1 Plus. The new Nokia phone has been sighted on Google’s ARCore site.

Google has a website where ARCore supported devices are listed. Right under the section for HMD devices is the unreleased Nokia 6.1 Plus.

This is the first time we are hearing of the device so there is no info on its specifications. However, there are some who think the Nokia 6.1 Plus may be the same device as the Nokia X6.

They are of the opinion that HMD Global will launch the Nokia X6 as the Nokia 6.1 Plus outside China. The reason for this belief is because the unreleased Nokia 5.1 Plus is rumored to launch in China as the Nokia X5.

However, if we are to go by the Indian support page of the Nokia X6 that briefly went live last week, it nullifies the argument. The only other way to confirm is to see if ARCore works on the Nokia X6. Since the Nokia X6 isn’t on the list of supported devices, ARCore working on it may just be the proof we need to confirm it is the same device as the Nokia 6.1 Plus.

Speaking of ARCore, the Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8 Sirocco, and Nokia 6.1 are the supported Nokia devices. HMD Global’s chief product officer, Juho Sarvikas, said in a tweet yesterday that the Nokia 8 will be enabled soon.

There is hardly any doubt that HMD Global Oy’s Nokia X6 will soon be launched for the global market. For those who still doubt talks of a launch in the offing, the Finnish company has now added another feature that buttresses talks of the global launch. The feature is the activation of an India support page for the X6 on Nokia’s website.

The support page contains a step-by-step guide on how to use the smartphone. The guide covers everything from the initial setup to using the Pro camera mode or even simple tasks such as opening and closing apps. There is also a PDF version of the manual which confirms that HMD Global has tested the smartphone’s compatibility with the Indian market requirements. The manual also states that the device has been “designed to meet requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the India Department of Telecommunications.” The device is also confirmed to launch with Android Oreo which will likely be under the Android One program.

This latest tip joins the earlier ones such as the brief appearance on the brand’s official website as well as its certification in Taiwan. So, even though HMD Global is still yet to officially confirm the smartphone’s arrival in other markets, it is almost certain that the phone maker is prepping a launch in some major market. Obviously, the device will be launched in Vietnam and India. Europe will most likely be another destination for the device.

Nokia X6 is HMD Global’s first smartphone with a notch design and since it was launched last month in China, the global rollout is strongly anticipated by fans of the Nokia brand. The company is yet to reveal when the phone will be launched for the international market but a recent listing suggests that may happen soon. The Nokia X6 was abruptly listed on Nokia’s website on Wednesday but the listing was removed within a short space. That is not before it has been spotted by eagle-eyed reporters. A Google cache version of the webpage is even available.

The listing could be an intentional one, just to tease the impending launch. From the photo, it is clear the device will come with the same design as the China version. The specifications are likely similar except for perhaps the user interface. The International version is expected to ship with stock Android 8.1 Oreo as part of the Android One program.

As a reminder, the Nokia X6 features a large 5.8-inch FHD+display with a notch and a 19:9 aspect ratio. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 processor and there is the choice of either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. The device also comes in 32GB and 64GB internal storage versions. The Nokia X6 equally comes with a dual camera setup at the rear consisting of a 16MP main sensor and a 5MP secondary Bokeh camera. At the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera and keeping the lights on is a 3060mAh battery. The device is expected to be launched in the international market in July and should cost around $300.

Last month, HMD Global had launched the Nokia X6 smartphone, but it did not confirm whether it will be making the phone available outside of China. However, recent reports have claimed that the company could be working on global variants of Nokia X6.

Before the launch of the Nokia X6, its TA-1099 and TA-1103 models were certified by Bluetooth SIG. The same certification body has also approved TA-1083 and TA-1116 Nokia phones. Among these, the TA-1116 was also certified before the recently held unveil event in Russia. The Finnish company had unleashed Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 2.1 smartphones at the event and the TA-1116 model number does not belong to them.

Interestingly, Taiwan’s National Communications Commission (NCC) has recently certified TA-1103 model. Hence, it is now being speculated that the TA-1083 and TA-1116 are the global variants of the Nokia X6.

The Nokia X6 is the first notched display smartphone from the company. It houses a 5.8-inch IPS LCD display that supports 2280 x 1080 pixels. The Snapdragon 636 SoC is present under the hood of the phone. It has RAM variants like 3 GB, 4 GB and 6 GB and storage models like 32 GB and 64 GB. The X6 houses 16-megapixel + 5-megapixel dual camera setup and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. It receives power from 3,060mAh battery. Since it is an Android One phone, it features stock edition of Android 8.1 Oreo.

After the launch of Nokia X6 in China, Nokia’s Chief Product Officer (CPO) Juno Sarvikas had carried a poll on the official Twitter account of the company to find out whether people outside of China are interested in the smartphone. Over 90 percent people had answered “yes” which indicated that the company may consider launching its global variant.

The Nokia X6 is speculated to hit the international markets with a price tag of around $300 starting from July. The certification of TA-1083 and TA-1116 models suggest that Taiwan and Russia among other markets will be receiving the smartphone.

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.

The Nokia X6 is yet to be launched for the global market but we may likely see the device launched with the updated version pre-installed. The X6 is turning to be a very popular model as it has gone on flash sale four times and the units have been sold out in record time all four times. The Nokia X6 is a premium mid-range device which packs a 5.8-inch display complete with a notch and 19:9 aspect ratio. The model is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 chipset and buyers have the option of either 4GB or 6GB of RAM with 32GB or 64GB internal storage options. The Nokia X6 equally comes with a dual camera setup at the rear consisting of a 16MP main sensor and a 5MP secondary camera.

HMD Global launched the Nokia X6 in China last month and since then, the device has gone on several record-making flash sales which get sold out in a matter of seconds. The fourth flash sale was over the weekend and the device was equally sold out. This is as a result of the high interest in the smartphone in China. The Nokia X6 also garnered a high level of interest outside China. Even though Nokia did hint at a global launch in the future, no timeline was set for that. However, the Nokia X6 may launch soon outside mainland China and Taiwan looks like the destination. The device has just got certified by Taiwan’s NCC.

The device is listed with the model number TA-1103 and even though it wasn’t listed as Nokia X6, the model number is similar to the China version (TA-1099). The same model (TA-1103) also got its Bluetooth certification a couple of weeks back which confirms it is the international variant. The Taiwan NCC’s listing doesn’t reveal any other details apart from the fact that it is built by HMD Global and will support 4G.

The specs sheet of the international version isn’t expected to be different from the China version. This means consumers can expect a large 19:9, 5.8-inch display complete with a notch, alongside Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 on the inside and the choice of either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. Additionally, 32GB or 64GB will be present depending on the user’s preference. The Nokia X6 equally comes with a dual camera setup at the rear consisting of a 16MP main sensor and a 5MP secondary camera. At the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera and keeping the lights on is a 3060mAh battery. The International version is expected to ship with stock Android 8.1 Oreo as part of the Android One program.

Nokia X6, the first notched smartphone by HMD Global, was officially unveiled on May 16. Since then, it has only been launched in the Chinese market and, weirdly, it still hasn’t hit the global markets after almost a month. Maybe now we know the reason. The handset has just registered the 4th consecutive sold out in China. In case you do not know, it has been launched on three stores: Jingdong Mall, Suning, and TMall. On each of these stores, the handset went sold out very quickly, and now there are million people who have been left with empty hands.

Currently, there are 1.8 million pre-reservations for the Nokia X6 on Jingdong itself. The company has just published a post on Weibo in which it says that the handset is the second best-seller on JD. We still do not know anything about the availability of the handset outside of China, but Juho Sarvikas from HMD Global recently asked the company’s fans if they wanted the handset to hit markets outside of China, and this makes us think that the device will soon go global.

Nokia X6 comes with a 5.8-inch display with a 19:9 aspect ratio which shows images with a Full HD+ resolution. Its body is composed of a rear glass and an aluminum frame. It is the perfect rival of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro as it sports an octa-core Snapdragon 636 SoC running at a max frequency of 1.8 GHz. It has been launched in three configurations with 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 32 or 64 GB of internal storage which you can expand up to 256 GB with a micro SD. The main camera is a dual setup with resolutions of 16 and 5 MP, and a f/2.0 aperture. The secondary sensor has a 16 MP resolution and the same f/2.0 aperture, while the battery has a 3060 mAh capacity.

It has been a few weeks since HMD Global announced three new phones in Russia. Those phones are the Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, and Nokia 5.1 – all successors to last year’s Nokia 2, Nokia 3, and Nokia 5 respectively.

Other than a Snapdragon 845-powered smartphone, we are not really expecting HMD to announce a new phone this year but it seems the manufacturer isn’t done yet. CAD renders of an upcoming Nokia 5.1 Plus have surfaced online and they reveal the phone will come with a notch just like the Nokia X6.

The CAD renders which are a joint work between @onleaks and TigerMobiles also includes a video. According to the source, the phone has a rough dimension of 149.5 x 71.9 x 8mm and a screen size of about 5.7 inches.

The notch in the display is much wider than that of the Nokia X6. It is home to a camera, speaker, and sensors. At the bottom of the display is a moderately-sized bezel with the Nokia logo inscribed on it.

The rear of the device shares an identical appearance to that of the Nokia X6. You have vertically arranged dual cameras which share the same housing with a LED flash. The whole setup is slightly raised. There is also a fingerprint scanner right beneath the camera housing. The back appears to be covered in glass.

The Nokia 5.1 Plus has a USB-C port at the bottom flanked by two slits for a speaker on one side and a microphone on the other. A 3.5mm audio jack and secondary microphone sit at the top. There are also visible antenna lines at the top and bottom of the phone.

There is no info on the specs of the phone at the moment. Notwithstanding, its specs should plant it firmly between the Nokia 5.1 and the Nokia 6.1. When the Nokia 5.1 Plus launches, it will be the 9th Nokia phone released this year.

HMD Global and Lenovo decided to launch a brand new series of mid-range smartphones this year and the first devices inaugurating their individual lineups are Lenovo Z5 and Nokia X6. From the initial teasers, they looked like flagships, but at the launch event they turned out to be mid-rangers and left many fans disappointed. However, they are among the best choices in their sector and they have all the potentialities to affect the sales of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and other best-selling phones of 2018. This is a complete Lenovo Z5 vs Nokia X6 comparison of their specs with their strong and weak points.

Lenovo Z5 vs Nokia X6

Design

The design is one of the strongest points of Nokia X6. Recently, HMD Global has shown us how much it cares about the aesthetics of their phones and shared early prototypes of several phones which are actually in the market. Nokia X6 is one of the most beautiful handsets in the midrange sector with a glass sandwich design and an aluminum frame. We can say the same about the Lenovo Z5 which comes with a glass back available even in the Aurora gradient color. Both devices feature a notch, so their screen-to-body ratio is very high. I like Lenovo Z5 a bit more due to its gradient hue, reflective back, and higher screen-to-body ratio, but your taste may not necessarily be the same as mine.

Display

Lenovo Z5 has a bigger and more comfortable display, while Nokia X6 has a bit more pixels due to its smaller notch. Both feature a Full HD+ resolution, but given that the X6 is smaller, it is easier to use with one hand. In terms of viewing quality they are similar, so we are not going to choose a winner as it depends on the display size you like the most.

Hardware/Software

Even on the hardware side there aren’t significant differences between Lenovo Z5 and Nokia X6. Their SoC is the efficient Snapdragon 636 running at a max frequency of 1.8 GHz paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Note that Nokia X6 is the only one to be available in a configuration with 4 GB RAM. But despite the fact that they got the same hardware side, we believe that Nokia X6 will perform better as it is equipped with a stock Android version. On the other hand, the ZUI 3.9 custom interface installed on the Z5 will provide more additional features and graphics improvements.

Camera

We do not have enough data to establish which will be the best camera. These phones have a dual camera setup on their rear side and their primary sensor has a 16 MP resolution. However, we do not even know the aperture of Lenovo Z5’s cameras, neither the model of the sensors, so we do not have an idea about the quality of its photos. We have to wait until we get our hands on it. The front camera seems to be better on the Nokia X6 (on paper) with its 16 MP resolution and f/2.0 aperture.

Battery

Lenovo Z5 has a bigger battery with a capacity of 3300 mAh. But we have to see how well it has been optimized to know if its battery life will really be longer than the one of Nokia X6. Considering that Lenovo Z5 has 3300 mAh, there is a good chance that it will provide a longer battery life than its opponent, especially because the hardware and displays of both the devices are quite similar on paper. But we want to verify it before expressing a final judgment. For now, Lenovo Z5 wins.

Price

Prices are competitive. Lenovo Z5 starts from just $202 in China, in its configuration with 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB ROM. Nokia X6 costs just $204 in China, but note that this is the price for the 4/32 GB configuration (6/64 GB version costs $266). I would pick Lenovo Z5 due to its more attractive design, higher screen-to-body ratio and slightly bigger battery (not sure if it will last longer). But note that my opinion might change after evaluating the camera performance.

What would you pick?

Lenovo Z5 vs Nokia X6: PRO and CONS

Lenovo Z5

PRO

• More attractive design
• Bigger battery
• Lower price
• Higher STB ratio

CONS

• Potentially worse cameras

Nokia X6

PRO

• Stock Android
• Potentially better performance
• More compact design

CONS

• Smaller display, battery

Earlier this week, Nokia X6, the Finland-based company’s latest smartphone, went on sale in China and was sold out within 10 seconds. Now, today, the smartphone again went on sale and according to the company, this time also, the device went out of stock within seconds.

However, similar to the previous sale, the company has not announced how many units of the Nokia X6 were sold during the flash sale. The next sale is now scheduled on 30th May. Given the phone’s interest in China, there’s a possibility that the global rollout of the smartphone could get delayed.

The Nokia X6 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).

There’s a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top of the display for protection from minor scratches.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm’s recently launched Snapdragon 636 octa-core processor. It 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.

HMD Global is touting the presence of artificial intelligence (AI) features for improved photography, such as optimized color, field, and portrait lighting effects, as well as face recognition. It also offers the Bothie feature, which enables users to use both front and rear cameras simultaneously.

While there’s a fingerprint sensor on the back panel, the phone also comes with a Face Unlock feature for added security. Connectivity options on the device include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C.

A Nokia phone with model number TA-1103 recently got its Bluetooth certification. According to the certification page, the device’s product name is the Nokia X6. However, the model number is different from that of the Chinese variant which means this is probably the international variant.

The Nokia X6 was released a few days ago in China and seems to have been well received even though it has a notch. It appears the affordable price tag, the specs, and the overall design have helped it gain many admirers.

Presently, the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global has a poll running on Twitter asking if the Nokia X6 should be launched in other markets. There have been over 6,000 votes already and 91% of them want the X6 in other markets.

It is safe to say it is only a matter of time before the phone launches in other markets and when it does, we expect it to launch under the Android One program. We also wouldn’t mind a red version.

HMD Global will be holding a launch event on May 29 in Russia. The Finnish firm is expected to debut new phones that haven’t been announced before. Rumors are rife that the company may debut the 2018 editions of the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 2. A leaked photo of the rear panel of the alleged Nokia 3 (2018) smartphone has surfaced online. It reveals that the smartphone will be arriving with an updated rear design compared to the original Nokia 3.

The leaked image shows that the mysterious Nokia phone features a hard plastic rear shell like the good old Lumia phones. The rear panel of the original Nokia 5 was more rounded and curved towards the edges whereas the Nokia 3 came with a rectangular back panel. Hence, it appears that the rear shell in the newly leaked image could belong to the rumored 2018 edition of the Nokia 3 smartphone.

The changes that can be seen on the back panel of the alleged Nokia 3 (2018) is the inclusion of an elongated camera module that can be found on the recent Nokia phones. Below the camera module is a round-shaped cutout that could belong to the fingerprint scanner. The original Nokia 3 did not feature a fingerprint reader.

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.
