Both, Flipkart and Nokia are teasing the upcoming device and alongside a Nokia product, the online retailer has also hinted at a partnership between the two companies.
HMD Global has already sent out invites for an event dated August 21, where it is expected to launch the Nokia 6.1 Plus smartphone. Now, it seems like the upcoming product will be a Flipkart Exclusive as the online retailer has hosted a dedicated webpage for it and has also put up a teaser video that hints at a Nokia smartphone with an emphasis on the hashtag “#TwoOfAKind”. This could be a hint at an exclusive partnership between Flipkart and Nokia that could be announced at tomorrow's event, similar to the Asus-Flipkart partnership which was announced some time ago. If this is the case, future Nokia smartphone buyers can expect some exclusive offers on their purchase. The Nokia 6.1 recently received a price cut out-of-the-blue, hinting that HMD Global will announce the new Nokia 6.1 Plus in India, which is the global variant of the Nokia X6.
