Background and Identification

The Nokia 6 Android smartphone was manufactured by HMD Global and released in January 2017. The Nokia 6 became globally available, along with the new Nokia 6 Arte Black Flipkart, Amazon, and Snapdeal special edition models. The Nokia 6 was released in “Arte black,” matte black, tempered blue, silver, and copper body colors. It includes model numbers TA-1021, TA-1033, TA-1000, TA-1003, TA-1025, and TA-1039.

The Nokia 6 features a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. Nokia 6 phones were released with either 32 GB of internal storage and 3 GB of RAM or 64 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of RAM. The phone also includes a single 16-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. All Nokia 6 models feature a 3000 mAh non-removable battery, meaning their batteries' adhesive is permanent, making repair and replacement difficult, but not necessarily impossible.

A TechRadar review of the Nokia 6 found that it is disappointingly slow to charge and has a battery life that only lasts about one day. The review appreciated the Nokia 6’s fingerprint scanner and solid cameras.

The Nokia 6 includes the name “Nokia” in capital letters in the center of the phone’s backing. It includes the Android three-button navigation at the bottom of the front bezel that includes a Back, Home, and switch apps button. The Nokia 6 features an aluminum back shell with a metal frame and a scratch-resistant glass screen.
