The new Nokia 6 (2018) global sales start; First in Russia, Germany, Austria

HMD Global officially started selling the new Nokia 6 (2018) device in Russia. For quite some time, the official Nokia Store in Russia at mobileshop.nokia.ru had listed the new Nokia devices, to be precise the Nokia 1, 6.1 and 7 plus, on their webstore. Price and launch date for Nokia 1 is still unknown, while we know the price for the 7 plus for Russia (27,990 rubles, 393 euros), but with no release date.

Starting today, the new Nokia 6 is available to purchase in Russia via the official Nokia store. The device is available in the 3GB+32GB configuration in black/copper and white/iron for 17,990 rubles or 252 euros. The 4GB+64GB version that will be available in blue/gold for 19,990 rubles or 280 euros, has no release date at the moment.

Two stores in Austria, Comstern and Conrad also claim to have the Nokia 6.1 in stock for 310 euros. The German arm of Comstern also claims availability of the 6.1 in Germany for 269 euros, available right away for delivery. Don’t know if the device popped up in any other country, but if you find the new 6.1 (or any new Nokia product at your local retailer), do leave a comment down below.

The broader availability of all at MWC2018 announced smartphones is expected next month.
