HMD Global has launched its new flagship, the Nokia X6, in China. The device, previously seen with the name Nokia X, was unveiled in Beijing earlier today.

The smartphone is the first Nokia device to sport a controversial notch and a 19:9 display — facets that should help it achieve a decent screen-to-body ratio. It features an octa-core, Snapdragon 636 chip, up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 64 GB of internal storage space.

Software features include automatic AI image enhancements (like color balance adjustments and facial recognition), HDR photo mode, and the “Bothie” mode for using front and rear cameras simultaneously.

It runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and comes with a 3060mAh battery with USB Type-C connectivity. You’ll also find a fingerprint scanner on the back and a headphone jack at the top. Nokia.com
