Nokia re-enters the smartphone arena with an Android phone

It’s been confirmed a while ago that Nokia will re-enter the smartphone business. The new Nokia 6 is a smartphone completely designed and engineered by HMD Global, a Finnish company that owns the license to release Nokia-branded phones.

The Android 7.0 Nougat-based Nokia 6 features a 5.5-inch aluminium unibody with a “2.5D” contoured glass front.

Under the hood, it’s packing a 1080p display, a mid-tier Snapdragon 430 processor with 4GB RAM and 64 of onboard storage, as well as dual amplifiers and Dolby Atmos for louder output than standard amps. The handset also comes with a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel snapper in the front.

That isn’t exactly cutting-edge hardware, but Nokia promises that the device will offer exceptional battery life and graphics performance. It’ll go on sale early this year for 1699 CNY exclusively in China (about $250).
