Nokia 6 (2018) with 4GB of RAM, Snapdragon 630 SoC launched: Price, specifications.
After a bunch of leaks and rumours, HMD
Global has now formally announced the Nokia 6 (2018) as its first
smartphone of the new year. The new Nokia smartphone is the successor to
the last year’s Nokia 6 and is debuting in China. Details about its
global rollout are yet to emerge. However, the smartphone is quite
likely to go on sale in India following the initial availability in the
Chinese market. China’s Suning has started taking pre-orders for the
Nokia 6 (2018), and its sale will begin starting January 10. The 32GB
Nokia 6 (2018) variant will be available with a price tag of CNY 1,499
(roughly Rs. 14,600), whereas its 64GB variant will come at CNY 1,699
(approximately Rs. 16,600). Both the variants will come in Black and
Silver colour options.
Nokia 6 (2018) specifications, features:
Unlike the original Nokia 6 model that was launched back in January last year with a front-facing fingerprint scanner, the Nokia 6 (2018) features a fingerprint scanner on the back. The new smartphone has also dropped the capacitive keys that were available on alongside the frontal fingerprint scanner on the previous Nokia handset. The Finnish manufacturer has apparently chosen on-screen navigation to make the interface of the new Nokia 6 closer to stock Android UI. The decision is conspicuous as it has maintained a 16:9 display aspect ratio, and not used a 18:9 aspect ratio that was the primary cause of other manufacturers ditching front fingerprint scanners and hardware capacitive buttons. Further, the Nokia 6 (2018) has a metal unibody build that is made of 6000 series aluminium.
The dual-SIM (Nano) Nokia 6 (2018) runs
Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box. The handset is also expected to
receive an update to Android 8.0 Oreo sometime in the future. But the
company hasn’t so far provided any official details on the latest
Android update. On the display part, the Nokia 6 (2018) features a
5.5-inch IPS display with a full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) resolution and
16:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC, which is clocked at 2.2GHz, coupled with 4GB of
LPDDR4 RAM. Also, the internal storage of the new Nokia 6 is upgradable
via microSD card slot (up to 128GB) in a hybrid dual-SIM configuration.
HMD Global has provided a 16-megapixel
rear camera sensor on the Nokia 6 (2018) with dual-tone LED flash and
PDAF lens that has f/2.0 aperture. Similarly, an 8-megapixel camera is
available on the front with an f/2.0, 84-degree wide-angle lens. The
smartphone also supports the company’s proprietary Dual-Sight technology
that allows you to capture simultaneous shots from the rear and front
camera sensors to create a Bothie. In terms of connectivity, the
smartphone has FM radio, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth v5,
GPS/ A-GPS, USB Type-C, and 3.5mm audio jack.
Besides, the Nokia 6 (2018) packs a
3000mAh battery that supports fast charging technology. It measures
148.8×75.8×8.6mm and weighs 172 grams.
