Remember Nokia? Once-dominant cellphone maker is back with the Nokia 6

Desirable new Android smartphones seem to be falling like rain these days. The latest comes from a familiar name: Nokia. Parent company HMD says their new phone, the Nokia 6, is going to hit the US market in July when the Android device arrives on Amazon.com. While the 5.5-inch phone has the requisite specs it needs to compete in the midrange smartphone market, the way it’s built is a story in itself.

The phone’s body is solid aluminum, and HMD says the process to make the chassis takes 12 hours to complete, including five different polishing steps. Inside, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 runs the show, along with 3gb of RAM and 32gb of storage, and you can bump that up with a micro SD card. The camera is a 16-megapixel single lens type, and the display has native HD resolution.

HMD says the phone features dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, although we’re not sure how exactly that’s going to work, but for just $229, we’re willing to give a shot. Looks like only AT&T and T•Mobile will work with the phone for the moment. More details:
