Seems like Nokia’s comeback in the smartphone industry is on track with the company’s expectations. After receiving over 250,000 registrations in the first 24 hours earlier this week, the first sale of the Nokia 6 saw the device get sold out in a minute. The first flash sale took place in China via e-commerce website JD.com. However, it is still unknown as to how many units of the device went up for sale yesterday.
Nokia 6 is priced at CNY 1,699 (approx. Rs 16,700) and is expected to hit the Indian shores soon. On the other hand, HMD Global is also expected to launch some more Nokia smartphones, of which one of them could be the recently rumoured Nokia 8.
