HMD Global Now Has Four Phones Running Android 10

HMD Global did not launch too many smartphones in India last year because of the cutthroat competition in the industry. The brand launched various entry-level and budget smartphones but did not touch the mid-range and premium segments. The Nokia 8.1 was the first phone from HMD Global to get the Android 10 update, which was recently followed by Nokia 9 PureView. Last month, the brand rolled out the same update to Nokia 7.1, which was the first phone to feature PureDisplay technology. And now, the Nokia 6.1 Plus is picking up the update in India and across the world.

As for the current pricing, Flipkart is now selling the Nokia 6.1 Plus at just Rs 8,999. In the next few weeks, the phone will come with Android 10 out of the box, which makes it the only phone under Rs 10,000 to run the latest Android version. The Nokia 6.1 Plus at Rs 8,999 is still a great smartphone as it offers a 5.8-inch Full HD+ display, Snapdragon 636 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, dual rear cameras of 16MP & 5MP, 16MP selfie camera, stock Android and a 3060mAh battery. Besides the smaller battery, the specs are on-par with other phones available in the similar price range like the Realme 5, Vivo U10, Xiaomi Redmi 8 and so on.

HMD Global is also hinting that the Nokia 8 will get the Android 10 update in the coming days. For the unaware, the Nokia 8 is HMD’s first flagship smartphone launched back in August 2018.
