Nokia 6 (2018) is going to be officially announced
by HMD Global tomorrow, but Chinese retailer Suning jumped the gun and leaked
the device in full. All the specs, including press renders and lifestyle
images, popped up on its website and online store.
The new Nokia 6 comes with a more powerful
Snapdragon 630 chipset, a fingerprint scanner on the back and redesigned
accents around the edges and the camera. It also borrowed some features from
the Nokia 8 for audio recording and photos.
The chipset has an octa-core CPU, with four of the
cores clocked at 2.2 GHz. The RAM available is just 4 GB with two internal
storage versions - 32 or 64 GB. There is also a microSD slot for up to 128 GB
more. The primary camera is 16 MP with f/2.0 lens, and it comes with OZO Audio
recording. It also has Bothie mode where you take a picture or video with both
cameras at the same time. Speaking about the front snapper, it has 8 MP sensor
and f/2.0 lens.
The battery has 3,000 mAh capacity and is charged
via the microUSB port. The OS is near-stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat, with promises
to get Android Oreo soon. Dimensions sit at 148.8 x 75.8 x 8.15 mm with a
weight of 172 g.
The Nokia 6 (2018) is available in Black with orange
accents and White with red accents. The 32 GB version will be sold in China for
CNY 1,499 (US$ 230/€ 190), while the 64 GB one will cost CNY 1,699 (US$ 261/€ 216).
Last year, a global variant was announced in
February at MWC, and HMD Global will most likely do the same with this edition
of the Nokia 6.
