Nokia, is a Star born again?
Nokia, the biggest phone manufacturer of the nineties, took a deep fall when the iPhone, and smartphones in general, hit the market. Despite Microsoft’s efforts, and hopes, the Windows run Nokia Lumia phones just didn’t manage to live up to the reputation of the big names Microsoft and Nokia.
The turning point could have been an announcement at this year’s Mobile World Congress; the Finnish HMD Global Oy declared itself the new home of Nokia phones.
Nokia has been one of the most iconic and recognisable phone brands globally for decades. In the short time since HMD was launched into the market, the positive reception we’ve had has been overwhelming; it seems everyone shares our excitement for this next chapter. Today’s consumers are more discerning and demanding than ever before and for us they will always come first. Our efforts in bringing together world class manufacturers, operating systems and technology partners sees us proudly unveiling our first global portfolio of smartphones with a Nokia soul, delivering the very best experience to everyone.”Arto Nummela, CEO of HMD Global
