Angelone added: "The Nokia 6 exemplifies our commitment to best-in-class performance, design, and craftsmanship, and we are proud to offer American consumers a smartphone option that will not require them to sacrifice quality for cost."
The company first unveiled the Nokia 6 in early January. At the time, it was made exclusively available in China, which, as HMD Global said, "is a reflection of the desire to meet the real world needs of consumers in different markets around the world."
According to HMD Global's announcement, the Nokia 6 is mostly compatible with T-Mobile as it completely supports 4G LTE data connection on the upcoming device. Meanwhile, AT&T can provide "partial" 4G network on Nokia 6. Both providers will also support voice and text messages, as well as 2G and 3G data connections.
Nokia 6 will come out of the box with the Android 7.0 Nougat operating system and is powered by Qualcomm's octa-core system-on-chip Snapdragon 430 which has a CPU clock speed of as much as 1.4 gigahertz.
The mobile device will come with an internal storage of 32 GB plus a microSD slot that can support up to 128 GB additional space. The Nokia 6 also sports a dual-SIM setup. Its screen measures 5.5 inches and has full high-definition resolution and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.
The Nokia 6 is equipped with a 16-megapixel camera at its rear and an 8 MP sensor for selfies. It runs on a 3,000-milliampere hour battery.
According to HMD Global, the Nokia 6 will initially be available in Matte Black and Silver color options, but they will soon offer the Tempered Blue and Copper variants.
The Nokia 6 will cost $229.
