Smartphone users
around the globe might be seeing the Nokia X6 sooner than what was expected as
a Geekbench listing confirmed the launch of the phone. Since the release of
Nokia X6 in China last May, many called the attention of HMD Global to make the
device present globally.
Recently, Juho
Sarvikas, HMD Global's Chief Product Officer, took to a Twitter post to
announce that the device will be available in other international markets.
While there was no confirmation yet from the company, if the spotted Geekbench
listing were the Nokia X6, GSMArena said it expects the handset to have a
different name, 6.1 Plus. Based on the alleged benchmark, we are talking about
the same phone.
Nokia X6 or the
rumored 6.1 Plus will hit the global market starting July 19, as confirmed by
previous reports. Industry sources expect the Nokia 6.1 Plus to have the same
hardware to its Chinese counterpart, but with a different software. The Chinese
X6 variant runs Nokia's custom overlay, while the 6.1 Plus would be in pure
Android.
The Nokia X6 sports
a 5.8-inch FHD+ notched 19:9 screen, Snapdragon 636 chip, up to 6GB RAM, up to
64GB expandable storage, 3,060mAh Quick Charge 3.0 battery, 16MP + 5MP dual
cameras with AI, 16MP selfie cam with AI, face unlock, fingerprint scanner, and
pure Android 8.1 Oreo OS out of the box.
