HMD Global surprised us by not just unveiling the Nokia 6.1 Plus for the Indian market today. The company also brought another notch-laden phone, the Nokia 5.1 Plus, which is the international variant of the Nokia X5.
This 5.1 Plus looks quite similar to the Nokia 6.1 Plus in both design and aesthetics. The company has said it would be announcing the price and availability details of the phone in September.
