In the pre-smartphone era, Nokia was a driving force in the tech world. The company was later acquired by Microsoft and then HMD Global. Earlier this year, the Finnish company started production of Android phones with Nokia brand. The company has now announced that the Nokia 6 will go on sale in the United States this July.
HMD’s portfolio consists of three Android phones — Nokia 6, Nokia 5 and Nokia 3. The phones have been well-received by the community and reviewers. Additionally, unlike many other companies, HMD attempts to be swift at delivering updates.
If you need a refresher, the Nokia 6 is a mid-range smartphone which was released on January 8. The device is the first Nokia-branded smartphone since the Lumia 638 from 2015, and it has a Snapdragon 430 as its CPU, a decent 3 GB of RAM LPPDDR 3, 32GB of expandable storage, a 16 MP back camera and 8 MP front shooter, a 3,000mAh battery and a 5.5-inch Full HD screen. The device is running Android 7.1.1.
HMD is going to sell the phone through Amazon for $229. Initially, only the Matte Black and Silver colors will be available, and the Tempered Blue and Copper models will arrive later this summer. Nokia 6 might hit the rocks in the United States due to band compatibility. Check out the Operator Network Compatibility table.

T-Mobile is the only carrier fully supported by the device, though subscribers of AT&T should have partial LTE support. The phone won’t work at all on CDMA carriers like Sprint and Verizon.
Amazon plans to start the distribution of the Nokia 6 early next month. Stay tuned.
