Nokia 6 smartphone is exclusive to Chinese market

Nokia 6, which was sold out in a minute in the first flash sale, is indeed exclusive to China, despite it appearing on an e-commerce website in the Philippines. HMD Global has also denied, in a way, that there is a White version of the smartphone.

Recently, several media publications claimed that the Nokia 6 smartphone was available to buy via a third-party online retailer in Philippines and come in a brand new White version. It turns out that the Nokia 6 smartphone being sold via Lazada platform is not from an authorised seller.

"We haven't launched Nokia 6 in Philippines market. The seller is a third-party retailer on Lazada platform and is not an authorised seller," told Communications Director of HMD Global to GSMArena.

Last week, Nokia 6 received tremendous response from consumers in China in its first flash sale as the smartphone reportedly went out of stock in a minute.
