HMD Global introduced the New Nokia 6 during its event at MWC 2018 along with Nokia 8 Sirocco and Nokia 7 Plus. The New Nokia 6 has some improved and upgraded components over when compared to the original Nokia 6 of last year.
Call it the “New Nokia 6” or “Nokia 6 2018”, whichever you prefer, we’ll simply use the term “New” or “new” where it’s appropriate in the article.
So the new Nokia 6 has the same outfit as you know already from the announcement in China. The phone has the same design as original, however it indeed has some polished factors like the new 6000 series aluminium, finished with two colors.
New Nokia 6 comes with a 5.5-inch full HD display still with full HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. It’s still a mid-ranger with an upgraded Qualcomm processor, Snapdragon 630 – 430 in original. Along side there comes 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage which is same as the original, unlike the Chinese model which had 4GB of RAM with another 64GB storage option.
16MP main and 8MP front cameras remain the same as original Nokia 6, however HMD Global has added Zeiss optics on top of the main camera. In addition the main camera now support 4K video recording.
