The '''Nokia X6''' is a music-oriented [[capacitive touchscreen]] [[smartphone]] and portable entertainment device by [[Nokia]].<ref>{{cite web |author=JBC on 2 September 2009 |url=http://conversations.nokia.com/2009/09/02/nokia-x6-launched/ |title=Nokia X6 launched &#124; Nokia Conversations – The official Nokia Blog |publisher=Conversations.nokia.com |date=2 September 2009 |access-date=15 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090905021858/http://conversations.nokia.com/2009/09/02/nokia-x6-launched/ |archive-date=5 September 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was announced in early September 2009 during Nokia World 2009 in [[Germany]].
The X6 replaces the [[Nokia 5800]] as Nokia's flagship music-centred model.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/cell-phones/nokia-x6/10482.html |title=Nokia X6 All-Touch Phone Makes Waves at Nokia World |publisher=Infosyncworld.com |date=2 September 2009 |access-date=15 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927221218/http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/cell-phones/nokia-x6/10482.html |archive-date=27 September 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Both still slot below the high-end touchscreen model [[Nokia N97]].

The X6 and the [[Nokia X3-00]] are the first devices in newly installed [[Nokia Xseries]]. Before the Xseries, Nokia's music-centred devices were branded [[XpressMusic]].
