Nokia licensee HMD has hinted that it will announce devices on February 26 that will be released in more countries. The company announced the Nokia 6 on Sunday, but it emphasizes that the phone will only be released in China.

Nokia talks about February 26 in a Facebook post about the Nokia 6 presented on Sunday. “More announcements will follow February 26 …. save the date”, writes the phone maker on the social network. Previously, Nokia, not HMD, had already sent journalists a ‘save the date’ for a February 26 meeting in Barcelona, ​​ahead of the Mobile World Congress telecom fair. That starts a day later in the same city.

In the reactions to the post, it can be concluded that Nokia will present one or more phone models on that day that should be released in countries other than China. It doesn’t seem to be an announcement of a worldwide release. In response to inquiries from people in various countries, the company says more information will follow “in the first half of this year”, while others say more will be known “soon”.

HMD is returning the Nokia brand name to the smartphone market after Microsoft has stopped using the name since the end of 2014. Under the terms of the acquisition of Nokia’s telephone branch, the Finnish company may again release smartphones under its own name from January 1 this year. Nokia does not do that itself, but has licensed the name to the also Finnish HMD, which seems to consist mainly of people who have worked at Nokia and the mobile branch of Microsoft. HMD is working on smartphones based on Google’s mobile operating system Android.

The Nokia 6 is a smartphone with a 5.5″ LCD with 1920×1080 pixels, an octacore Qualcomm Snapdragon 430-soc with eight Cortex A53 processor cores and its own skin over Android. HMD is going to ask about 230 euros in China for the phone. .
