HMD Global's Nokia 6 with Android 7.0 and its 10 Amazing Features

Last year, Microsoft announced that it will be selling its assets under Nokia brand to a Finnish company, HMD Global, after it failed to create a mark in the smartphone market with the Windows OS based phones. Even when Microsoft brought drastic updates to the Windows OS for smartphones with its anniversary update release, it could not get much response from buyers against Android and iOS based phones. HMD earlier announce two basic phones under Nokia, for a very affordable price, and everyone thought that they were too taking the road which would lead them down the hill.

Well, all those who thought that way have been proved wrong! HMD announced Nokia’s first ever Android based smartphone in CES 2017 named Nokia 6. Wow, isn’t it? But the sad news is that it will only be launched in China as of now, and other countries will have to wait a little to try their hands on this much awaited smartphone. Nokia once ruled the mobile phone market, but that was about a decade ago. Will it be able to bring back its glory again? HMD has also said that it will be releasing more phones under the brand name Nokia in the first half of this year, and they have thus kept us under a form of excited suspense! As of now, we bring you the features that Nokia 6 boasts of, and you can decide for yourself if it is the best phone in it’s price segment for you.

It is said that the phone is packed with amazing features which will allow it to get the best of all features available in Android 7.0

With Android as its OS now, we hope HMD Global will be able to revive the brand image that Nokia lost a decade ago.

We will soon know how if the tides will turn!
