Since HMD took over the Nokia mobile phone business and announced its return to the smartphone market, several handsets have been released around the world. Among them, the Nokia X6 sporting a Snapdragon 636 chip was launched in China in May this year. We recall this phone because it was priced quite affordable at 1299 yuan ($191). This phone received the favor of the majority of Chinese consumers due to its price-over-hardware ratio. According to PhoneArena, HMD has officially released the international version of the Nokia X6, namely, the Nokia 6.1 Plus in Hong Kong on July 19.
