Nokia's first Android telephone coming February 26

BlackBerry isn't the handiest mega-emblem of yesteryear trying a first-rate comeback. Nokia, too, will unveil its first Android smartphone, the Nokia 6, to the broader world.

Nokia Cellular teased the Nokia 6, that is already on sale in China, in a video on its Facebook web page (see above). "Get geared up!", the submit reads, "The Nokia 6 is coming to China! Greater bulletins to follow on February twenty sixth... Keep the date!"
The timing is a clue. February 26 coincides with Cellular world Congress (additionally called MWC), the arena's biggest Mobile display that takes location in Spain each 12 months on the quit of February.

It is right here that BlackBerry will formally release its comeback telephone, called the BlackBerry Mercury. MWC is wherein we normally see flagship telephones from Samsung, LG, HTC, Huawei and Sony.

So a international launch of the Nokia 6 at MWC is important for placing the new Nokia at the map.

HMD owns a ten-12 months license to completely sell Nokia-emblem merchandise, branded as Nokia Cellular. To make matters More puzzling, "Nokia" nevertheless exists as a separate agency that sells telecommunications infrastructure gadget and also the pro-grade Oz. digicam. Foxconn's FIH Cell division is in charge of producing and distributing Nokia phones.
