Nokia 6 Sold Out in Just One Minute in China

While the consumers in India wait for Nokia's first proper Android phones to arrive here, in China it seems people can't get enough of the Nokia 6, a mid-range phone that the company launched a few weeks ago. In its first sale, which used the flash sale model, the phone went out of stock within a minute. Earlier, the company had reported that Nokia 6 had received over a million registrations for the sale.

The number of Nokia 6 units that HMD Global made available for the first flash sale is unknown, but the new Nokia Android phone was lapped up in just a minute, reports Anzhuo.cn. If Nokia 6 was a litmus test for checking the audience loyalty to the age-old brand, this response would surely make HMD Global very happy. Nokia 6 had managed to rake in 250,000 registrations in the first twenty four hours as well.

Nokia 6 is the first smartphone with Nokia branding in 3 years, and the mid-ranger has been priced at CNY 1,699 (roughly Rs. 17,000), rather high considering the specifications.
