Android-powered Nokia 6 goes on sale outside China with higher price-tagHMD Global Press kit

Earlier this month, HMD Global Oy, the official licensee of Nokia mobile brand launched the company's first ever fully-fledged Android-phone Nokia 6. But many Nokia fans were heart broken after the company said the phone will be sold only in China.

Now, it has come to light that the Nokia 6 will be made available outside China as well. An online retailer Lazada.com is offering Nokia 6 in Philippines, but with a costlier price-tag of 18,590 Philippine Peso (roughly $374/€348/Rs.25,440).

Having said that, Neither Nokia nor HMD Global Oy have made any official comments on Nokia 6's availability in Philippines. So, we urge our readers to refrain from ordering Nokia 6 on Lazada until the official confirmation comes out, as you might not be eligible for the service warranty if you buy the phone from Lazada.
