Nokia is back! Nokia has finally made its comeback in the smartphone industry. The company is now back with a bang by launching Nokia 6.

The device was released in January and is sold in China only at approximately 1700 Yuan (approximate 26000 PKR). Nokia 6 is a mid-range Android phone built out of premium materials. It is a typical feature set such as 5.5 inches full HD display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass. Additionally, it has 4GB RAM, a 64GB internal memory which is expandable up to 128 GB, 16 megapixels rear camera and 8 megapixels front camera and with a battery of 3000mAh non-removable battery.
