It is reported that HMD Global will bring the phone with the same moniker in other countries as well. The company has now teased an India launch event on Twitter and it could unveil the Nokia 6.1 Plus here in India. Nokia and HMD Global have invited fans to participate in a competition and win a chance to witness the live event in India.

“All the Nokia fans out there tell us your favorite Nokia smartphone experience and stand a chance to witness the next exclusive launch event.
