We previously heard a rumor that HMD Global would be releasing an updated Nokia 6 smartphone next year. Now the 2018 Nokia 6 has recently appeared at TENAA. This is China’s equivalent of the FCC.
We heard rumors previously that the new Nokia 9 would launch in January along with a new updated Nokia 6. We suspect that these new handsets will be made official at CES in January.
Expected Features and Specifications
The updated 2018 Nokia 6 is rumored to come with a 5.5 inch display, it is expected to feature the same Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels as the existing handset. The device is rumored to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, which is a significant upgrade from the Snapdragon 430 found in the original Nokia 6. This new processor should provide better performance and efficiency, making the device more responsive and capable of handling more demanding applications.
Other rumored specifications on the handset include 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. This combination should offer a smooth multitasking experience and ample space for apps, photos, and videos. Additionally, the device will apparently feature a rear fingerprint sensor, which is becoming a standard feature in modern smartphones for added security and convenience.
The 2018 Nokia 6 could possibly come with dual cameras, a feature that has become increasingly popular in smartphones for its ability to capture better photos with enhanced depth and detail. As yet, there are no details on the exact megapixels the cameras will come with, but it is expected that the primary camera will be an improvement over the 16-megapixel shooter found in the original Nokia 6. The front-facing camera is also likely to see an upgrade, catering to the growing trend of selfies and video calls.
Software and Additional Features
The new Nokia 6 is expected to run on the latest version of Android, possibly Android Oreo, out of the box. This would provide users with the latest features and security updates from Google. HMD Global has been known for providing a near-stock Android experience, which means the device will likely have minimal bloatware and a clean user interface.
Another anticipated feature is the inclusion of USB Type-C for charging and data transfer. This would be a welcome upgrade from the micro-USB port found in the original Nokia 6, offering faster charging times and more reliable connections. Additionally, the device is expected to retain the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is still a preferred feature for many users.
Battery life is always a critical aspect of any smartphone, and the 2018 Nokia 6 is rumored to come with a 3000mAh battery. While this is the same capacity as the original model, the more efficient Snapdragon 630 processor and potential software optimizations could result in better battery performance.
We will have more information on the new Nokia 6 and Nokia 9 smartphones when they are made official in January. The CES event is just around the corner, and it will be interesting to see how these new devices stack up against the competition.
