The phone is equipped with AI-assisted features and technologies coupled with deep image learning capabilities. It also includes intelligent scene recognition feature alongside AI Portrait mode. It supports Face Unlock along with AR Stickers and AI selfies with bokeh effects. The Nokia X6 comes with 6GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It runs on a 3060mAh battery that comes with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support. HMD Global claims that the Nokia X6's battery can fuel up to 50% charge in just 30 minutes of charging.

Connectivity wise, the phone supports a Dual-SIM, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, and USB Type-C. It sports a fingerprint sensor at the back and runs Android 8.1 Oreo, and is eligible for Android P upgrade.
