Nokia's next smartphone to launch on February 26

Nokia put its recently-launched Nokia 6 device up for pre-registration in China on 11 January. The company confirmed that the device will be put up for sale in the Chinese market on January 19. The device is listed by JD.com, China’s biggest online retailer and Nokia’s exclusive sales partner for the country, for a price of CNY 1,699 ($245).

The company also released a teaser video of Nokia 6 on its Facebook page on 12 January that read, ‘Get ready! The Nokia 6 is coming to China! More announcements to follow on February 26th, Save the date.’ On the basis of this, it appears like the company is planning to make the next big announcement on Feb 26.

The Nokia 6 smartphone features a hybrid, in-cell 5.5-inch screen with full HD resolution and 2.5D Gorilla Glass. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor with X6 LTE modem and offers 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

Nokia last year announced that it licensed HMD Global to produce Nokia-branded mobile phones and tablets. HMD Global is planning to spend around 400 million euros to market the Nokia brand for the next three years.
