Also, the manufacturer has introduced a dual camera setup in the handset that comes with AI and HDR features. It is not clear whether the Nokia X6 will arrive in India, but the company is clearly aiming at the affordable smartphone segment, which is dominated by Chinese rival Xiaomi and its latest handset, the Redmi Note 5 Pro.

The key Nokia X6 specifications include a 19:9 display, an octa-core Snapdragon 636 processor, up to 6GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel front camera, Quick Charge 3.0, Android 8.1 Oreo, and a Do Not Disturb mode for gaming.

At this price range, the Nokia X6 will also compete with both Redmi Note 5 Pro and the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1. While the Redmi Note 5 Pro is arguably dominating the market with its compelling hardware and MIUI features, the new ZenFone Max Pro M1 had arrived with a list of attractive features to take on the competition, including a dual rear camera setup, thin bezel display, metal body, a large battery, and a stock Android experience.
