The info comes via NPU, which reports there will be
two D1C variants, one will be a lower-tier 5in variant with the
following specs:
- 5in 1080p resolution display.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 1.4GHz octa-core processor.
- Adreno 505 GPU.
- 2GB of RAM.
- 16GB onboard storage.
- 13MP primary camera.
- 8MP front-facing camera.
As for specs, you’re looking at 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of on-board
storage alongside microSD support, Snapdragon 430 CPU, a 16 megapixel
main camera, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
The handset is a solid-black slate sculpted from a single piece of
aluminium. The entire frontage is more of less taken up by its 5.5in
1080p display, which measures 5.5in diagonally.
The Nokia 6 will run Android Nougat out the box but, unfortunately,
is only launching in China at the moment. The reason? China is still a
growth market, so it will be easier for Nokia to establish itself there
versus inside the more fixed and stagnant markets of Europe and the US.
This is a mid-range handset. The price will be low, hence HMD’s focus
on China where price is a HUGE driving force for adoption. The handset
will be priced at around $245, making it very accessible – even in
China’s market, alongside brands like Xiaomi.
The Nokia 6 will be available inside early January and will be exclusively available in China via JD.com.
Finger's crossed we’ll see a flagship release from Nokia for the UK and US very soon!
