If information circulating the internet is to be believed, then Nokia is expected to announce the Nokia 6.1 Plus in India at an event scheduled for August 21. The media event invite reads, “HMD Global invites you to an exclusive gathering for the next big unveil.” Rumour Mills are abuzz suggesting that the device will be the Nokia 6.1 Plus which is globally known as the Nokia 6X.
Speaking of the specifications of the Nokia 6.1 Plus, the dual-SIM smartphone will run on Android Oreo out of the box. Nokia phones run on Stock Android and we don’t think it should be any different for the Nokia 6.1 Plus. The device has a 5.8-inch full-HD+ 19:9 display with a resolution of 1080×2280 pixels. The display has Gorilla Glass 3 protection on it.
Under the hood, the Nokia 6.1 Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 636 SoC, coupled with 4GB/6GB RAM. At the back the smartphone has a dual 16=5MP camera setup whereas the front houses a 16MP camera for selfies. The smartphone boasts of 32GB/64GB built-in storage expandable via a microSD card. A 3060mAh battery powers the entire package.
There is no information available about the availability of the smartphone, but we can expect online retail tie ups for the availability of the smartphone.
We did get a chance to spend some time with the Nokia 6X. In our first impressions of the device we said, "The Nokia X6 feels like it's trying too hard to fit in. It's a good device nonetheless. There is a Snapdragon 636 chipset inside that's all the rage these days thanks to the Redmi Note 5 Pro along with up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It's easy to guess who the Nokia X6 intends to compete with, in India. The company's biggest flaw so far has been in its pricing strategy. That was somewhat corrected earlier this year with the launch of the Nokia 6.1 and the Nokia 7 Plus. Possibly, with the Nokia X6, HMD might finally be able to compete neck-to-neck with its rivals."
