Nokia knows the customer’s demand and the market trend, this is why Nokia followed the custom and did not remove 3.5mm Jack. Nokia 6 also has the fingerprint scanner. In the promotional sneak peek video, we can see that Nokia also added the micro USB port instead of USB Type-C port which is a good thing. Type-C port doesn’t have the proper ecosystem as of now.

MEET THE NEW NOKIA 6

You can now see the courage of Nokia of not following the new market trends. Nokia always focuses on the customer’s satisfaction instead of new market trends which are not liked by the customers especially which belongs to the budget range category. I also liked the branding of Nokia in the front which also gives the nostalgic feel when Nokia do the same with their old phones.
