With the launch of Nokia 6 smartphone last month, Nokia made an official comeback into the smartphone world. At that time, the Nokia 6 was only sold in China, and no information on its availability in international market was known. The Nokia 6 was recently spotted on eBay India where it was being sold unofficially, but now a new development hints that the Nokia 6 global launch may not be far away.
According to a report by NokiaPowerUser, the Nokia 6 global variant with the model number TA-1003 was certified in Taiwan. The same Nokia 6 model number was recently spotted on Bluetooth certification site and GFXBench as well. This is thought to be testimony enough that the Nokia 6 global variant is in the offing. The listed Nokia device supports LTE, GSM, and CDMA, making it compatible with networks worldwide. A recent report had also said that Nokia 6 global release will be announced at Nokia's MWC 2017 event.
