At the bottom, it houses powerful two-grille speakers to the right, Type C USB port at the center and a mic to the left. On the top, it features a lone 3.5mm audio jack.

On the back, Nokia 6 seem to have sturdy cover with matte finish and the company's brand is engraved vertically, just below the camera module (with LED flash) design in the shape of capsule, which protrudes a bit.

On the front side, the new phone features Nokia branding on the top right corner and camera to its left. In the center, it house single-grille call speaker. The dual amplifiers is said to deliver a 6dB louder sound than a regular amp, giving higher voice, deeper bass and with Dolby Atmos audio system, listening to music on Nokia 6 will be enriching for sure.
