The company’s Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas recently made a poll on Twitter asking fans if they would be interested in a global release of the Nokia X6. According to the results, 92 per cent of voters said they want to see the device outside of China.

The hashtag “#ChargedUp” also indicates that HMD Global could possibly bring all-new Nokia 2, Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 smartphones. All three smartphones are expected to come with some sort of improvements related to the battery. More details about the launch event will be shared once the presentation kicks off on Tuesday.
