HMD Global launched the first Nokia Android phone, Nokia 6, a couple of weeks ago and the company had its first flash sale in China this week. According to a report, the units sold exclusively at JD.com went out of stock in just a minute.

The report was delivered by Chinese website Anzhuo.cn, via Playful Droid. Although the publication did not reveal how many Android Nokia 6 units were sold, it claimed that JD ran out of stock quickly during the flash sale.

It is clear that HMD Global’s Nokia Android phone is well-received by many, especially by those who recognize the brand prior to the era of smartphones. Not only did the Nokia 6 units sell like hotcakes but the Finnish company also received one million registrations since Jan. 4, as seen on JD.

Nokia 6 is currently for sale only in China for a price of CNY 1,699 or $245 and HMD Global provided an explanation as to why the units have not been sold in international markets. According to its press release, the company aims to “meet the real world needs” of customers from various markets all over the world.

“With over 552 million smartphone users in China in 2016, a figure that is predicted to grow to more than 593 million users by 2017, it is a strategically important market where premium design and quality is highly valued by consumers.”
