Nokia X6 software update brings option to hide notch and apps

HMD Global has rolled out a software update for the Nokia X6 that will enable users to hide the notch. Several users posted on social network Baidu Tieba about the new software update and shared images as well. Along with the ability to disable or enable notch, the new update also includes other features like support for portrait mode, background app restrictions and the ability to hide apps. It also brings ‘game screen touch control-related’ optimisations, UI improvements and left swipe gesture to delete SMS.
Nokia X6 is currently exclusive to China. However, the Nokia X6 global variant recently passed Taiwan NCC certification suggesting the phone will make its way to global markets soon. Last month, HMD Global’s chief product officer Juho Sarvikas hosted a Twitter poll to evaluate the demand for the smartphone in other markets.
