For the uninitiated ones, the Nokia 6.1 Plus is simply a globally rebranded version of the Nokia X6 available in China. It is a mid-range phone and a first from Nokia to feature a notch at the top. It sports a 5.8-inch Full HD+ (2280 x 1080 pixel) IPS display. Under the hood, there is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor coupled with 4GB and 6GB of RAM. It has a 16-megapixel and 5-megapixel dual camera setup on the back and a 16-megapixel camera on the front.
It is expected to arrive in multiple configuration variants including 3GB RAM with 32GB storage, 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM with 64GB storage. The whole package is powered by a 3060mAh battery and runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. There are no words on the pricing yet but it should be somewhere around Rs. 15,000 considering rivals like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and Asus ZenFone Pro M1.
