The Nokia 6[1] is attracting a lot of interest in India. The smartphone has attracted over 1 million registrations on Amazon India[2], with the smartphone being available for purchase from August 23. Registrations for the sale began on July 14[3], so the smartphone has attracted these many registrations in just under a month. Of course, registrations for sale does not always translate into a purchase. Anyone could just put in their email address and register for the sale without even meaning to buy the Nokia 6. However, it's the only metric we have to gauge interest in the smartphone for now, so let's just assume that lots of people want to buy the smartphone.
Nokia 6 features a 5.5-inch full-HD 2.5D screen with Corning Gorilla Glass protection and a fingerprint sensor. The handset packs 32GB inbuilt storage, and supports microSD cards up to 128GB capacity, and houses a 3000mAh battery. It is powered by Snapdragon 430 SoC coupled with 3GB of RAM. The Nokia 6 runs on Android 7.0 Nougat. It has a 16-megapixel rear sensor, while the front camera's resolution is 8-megapixel and both come with an f/2.0 aperture.
For those who want to buy the phone, Amazon India launch offers for Nokia 6[4] include Rs. 1,000 cashback for Amazon Prime users when they purchase the device using Amazon Pay balance. Vodafone users will get 10GB data per month at Rs. 249 per month for 5 months on their Nokia 6. All buyers will also get 80 percent off on Kindle eBooks (up to Rs. 300), and Rs. 2,500 off on Makemytrip.com (Rs. 1,800 on hotels & Rs.700 off on domestic flights).
