News & Reviews:   Nokia 6 announce

Anxious for the Nokia 3 or Nokia 5? Well, it looks like Clove, an online retailer from UK had started listing the devices on its website.

While Nokia had just introduced two new smartphones at the recently concluded Mobile World Congress, we can’t help but feel that the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, or even the Nokia 6, are all mid-range offerings and not flagship devices. Well, it looks like Nokia, or rather, HMD Global isn’t resting on their laurels either and will be making more announcements throughout the year.

HMD Global, having launched the Nokia 6 in China initially, had announced that they are going global. Starting with the Nokia 6, it will be joined by the Nokia 5 and Nokia 3 which were unveiled today. All three phones will come in Q217 in both single and dual-SIM variants. Like the Nokia 6, both the Nokia 5 and 3 are smartphones that will run on pure Android Nougat.

The MWC 2017 will start next week on 27 February 2017 and you can bet Nokia will be there, although it’s not one of the top smartphone manufacturers in this modern age, its legacy is still strong enough to grab some headlines. But what will they showcase there?

We have finally gets our hands on with Nokia first ever Android device, Nokia 6. The is still no official release date and pricing details in Malaysia but you will still able to get it at SatuGadget for RM 1899. Check our the video below for more hands on experience.

We have just gotten news that you can now buy the Nokia 6 in Malaysia! Well, they are not official sets, but are imported by local smart gadgets distributor, Satu Gadget. Pre-orders are now opened with expected delivery happening on 14th February 2017. The price to pay? RM1899.

The new wave of Nokia phones are expected to be out to the global market sometime this year, but we have early indication that the China-exclusive Nokia 6 may see a global release as well. The white colour Nokia 6 is said to be slated for a worldwide release, with a slightly higher price than the Chinese market.

2017 will be a big year for mobile, as Nokia is coming back. They have launched their Nokia 6 phone in China, and soon we will see the brand relaunch itself as it readies to release new models sometime during MWC 2017. Mark February 26 as the date of the event.

The recent news of the Nokia 6 made quite a few "mehs" with most of those directed at the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor it uses. Other tech specs like the 4GB RAM and 64GB storage didn't get as much flak so we thought we'd check out the Snapdragon 430 processor using our similarly powered ASUS ZenFone 3 Max 5.5 or ZC553KL. Granted, there are differences between the two phones which you can see with our comparison tool, but the Nokia 6 does have the same display and more memory, so the differences in performance should be negligable if not better.

HMD Global, the new owner of the Nokia smartphone brand have officially announced their first smartphone with the Nokia 6. Set for release in China for 1699 CNY (RM1098) it is powered by Android with an aluminium unibody, a 5.5-inch full HD display and Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor.
