Nokia 6 Reportedly Gets 250,000 Registrations in 24 Hours Ahead of First Sale...

HMD Global, the company that now owns the rights to the Nokia brand, unveiled the Nokia 6 last week. The new Nokia 6 smartphone will be sold via a flash sale on January 19 exclusively on JD.com in China. The registration window for the Nokia 6 sale has opened up, and the Nokia 6 has reportedly garnered as many as 250,000 registrations in just 24 hours.
PlayfulDroid reports that the mid-ranger Nokia 6 has managed to rake in more than 250,000 registrations on the first day. This is a big milestone in Nokia's comeback journey, and a testimony to the fact that Nokia still has its fair share of loyalists out there.
On paper, the Nokia 6 is a rather forgettable device with nothing new to offer when compared to other mid-rangers out there. The Nokia 6 smartphone is priced at CNY 1699 (roughly Rs. 16,750). The smartphone runs Android 7.0 Nougat, and it sports a 5.5-inch full-HD display protected by a 2.5D Gorilla Glass. Nokia 6 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC alongside 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The dual-SIM Nokia 6 smartphone is backed by a 3000mAh non-removable battery.
The unibody Nokia 6 is built using 6000 series aluminium and its home button has an embedded fingerprint scanner. It packs a f/2.0 16-megapixel rear camera with phase detection auto focus and dual-tone flash, as well as an 8-megapixel f/2.0 front camera for selfies. The new Nokia 6 smartphone also includes Dolby Atmos tech and 'dual amplifiers' for louder sound. HMD Global is also expected to launch more Nokia Android phones on February 26, with invites for MWC event sent out on Thursday.

The Nokia 6 took one minute to sell out

We’re pretty used to hearing about rapidly-sold-out flash sales in China from the likes of Xiaomi, but HMD Global has just added its name to the list. In its first flash sale for the Nokia 6, it took just one minute to sell out all available units.

Over a million people already registered their interest in buying the phone on JD.com, the exclusive Chinese e-tailer for the device. Even with its relatively pricey 1699 Yuan price tag and meager Snapdragon 430 chipset, a lot of those interested parties put their money where their mouth is when the opportunity to buy finally presented itself today.

Of course, we don’t know exactly how much stock HMD had in the flash sale, but it’s safe to say the next one will have even higher numbers if the performance of the first sale is anything to go by. The second flash sale is expected to occur in the next couple of days.
