Nokia 6.1 Plus[1] is expected to be unveiled in India on August 21[2] and ahead of the launch, Nokia licensee HMD Global[3] has dropped the price in India of the Nokia 6.1 or Nokia 6 (2018)[4]. Launched in India[5] in April, the Nokia 6.1 was globally unveiled[6] at MWC 2018 in February, but had first been launched in China[7] in January. Later in May, HMD Global had launched another variant[8] of the smartphone. Now, both the variants have received up to a Rs. 1,500 price cut in India. Meanwhile, Nokia 6.1 Plus, the global variant of Nokia X6[9] that was launched in China[10] in May, has now surfaced online with that name.
The Nokia 6.1 or Nokia 6 (2018) was initially launched in India in a 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage variant. The price in India of this model was set at Rs. 16,999. HMD Global then kept its promise by launching the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage models in the country. This was priced at Rs. 18,999, marginally higher than the price tag of the 3GB RAM variant of the handset. Now, after the price cut, the 3GB RAM variant of the Nokia 6.1 costs Rs. 15,499 and the 4GB RAM model is available at Rs. 17,499. Notably, the new price[11] for both the Nokia 6.1 variants can be seen on the company's India site. The other offers remain the same as they were announced during the launch of the smartphone.
