Deal: Unlocked Nokia 6.1 gets a rare $50 discount at Best Buy

The Nokia 6.1 is a mid-tier Android smartphone with more than decent specs even for a $250 device. But when the phone's price drops well below $200, the Nokia 6.1 is quite the deal if you're looking for a cheap Android smartphone.

Although the Nokia 6.1 is available for purchase in the United States for quite some time, no carrier has picked this one up, so you'll only find through various retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. Initially priced at $230, the smartphone is now on sale at Best Buy for just $180, which means you'll be saving $50.

The phone is brand new and comes unlocked, but that doesn't mean it will work with all carriers in the U.S. As a matter of fact, the Nokia 6.1 is only compatible with GSM networks, so you'll only be able to use it with AT&T and T-Mobile, as well as other carriers using the same standard.

It's worth mentioning that the Nokia 6.1 will ship with Android 8.0 Oreo on board, but you'll be able to upgrade it to Android 9 Pie right away, just check for the update once you grab one.
