Nokia 6 First Sale Next Week; More Android Phones Set to Launch on February 26
Nokia's much-anticipated comeback smartphone, the Nokia 6, was unveiled earlier this month without much fanfare. The smartphone will be going on sale next week in China. The company confirmed the news in a Facebook post.

"Get ready! The Nokia 6 is coming to China! More announcements to follow on February 26th... Save the date!", the post said.


February 26 is a day before the Mobile World Congress starts in Barcelona, so we can expect HMD Global, the new custodians of the Nokia brand, to unveil more Nokia Android smartphones for markets other than China at the event.
