HMD launched the Nokia 8.1 in India last year in December. The smartphone initially came with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. But last week, HMD launched a new variant of Nokia 8.1 in India with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage which is now available for purchase in the country.
The 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage variant of the Nokia 8.1 is priced at ₹29,999 and is available on Amazon India and Nokia India’s website. Apart from more RAM and storage, there’s no difference between both the 4 GB and 6 GB RAM variants of Nokia 8.1.
