Nokia’s officially back – its first Android-powered smartphone, the Nokia 6, went on sale this week in China and it sold out in under one minute.

That’s right: One minute…

The handset, which is a China exclusive, was releases as part of a flash sale that over one million people signed up to enter.

At the time of reporting it is unclear exactly how many units Nokia sold of its Nokia 6 handset. But the fact that it sold out is very good news for the company’s return to the space.

"With the arrival of Nokia 6," said HMD at launch, "consumers will see superior craftsmanship and design quality in action. It takes 55 minutes to machine a single Nokia 6 from a solid block of 6000 series aluminium. It then receives two separate anodising processes, taking over ten hours to complete, with each phone being polished no less than five times. The end result is an aluminium unibody with the highest level of visual and structural quality."

Arto Nummela, CEO, HMD Global said: “Just a short while ago we announced the launch of HMD Global. From the outset we have stated that we intend to move with speed to establish a position as a player in the smartphone category and create products that truly meet consumer needs. The Nokia 6 is a result of listening to our consumers who desire a beautifully crafted handset with exceptional durability, entertainment and display features.

Our ambition is to deliver a premium product, which meets consumer needs at every price point, in every market. We start today, with our premium, high quality Nokia 6; built to deliver a fantastic core user experience for Chinese consumers. We look forward to unveiling further products in the first half of this year.”
