Nokia 6 A Good Deal Or Not?

Amazon might have released a few of Prime Exclusive phones a few days ago, but the phone that is making more headlines is the Nokia 6. There are few reasons for this, the biggest of which is that the Nokia name is one that invokes plenty of nostalgia and reminders of phones of long ago.

However, this is not your parents’ Nokia. Not going into detail, Nokia sold its mobile and devices division to Microsoft in 2013 in order to fight off its financial situation.

Microsoft Mobile became the successor to Nokia’s mobile devices unit in 2014, but later it only took 2 years for Microsoft mobile to sell off its Nokia-branded feature phone to HMD Global, which was founded by former Nokia executive Jean-Francois Baril.

Today, we have one of the results from this mess of sales and agreements: the Nokia 6. As far as the sale of the phone is concerned, Amazon is the only place that offers the phone, and though price the price helps the Nokia 6 compete with other budget phones.
