Although HMD Global is moving into the launch of its smartphones, it might not abandon the Nokia brand. In a new video that that company posted on their YouTube channel, they clearly state that they are the “makers of Nokia phones.” A few netizens have various takes on this statement and how it reflects on the image that HMD is trying to build in the smartphone market.
At this moment, we are still awaiting the launch of the coming HMD smartphone, which will take place at the coming MWC event. This event will take place later this month, and it’ll bring a ton of tech companies from around the world to Barcelona to show off their latest products to the world. Reports have it that HMD plans to launch three or four smartphones, one tablet, one feature phone, and a pair of TWS earphones at this event.
Also, after the branding of the Nokia official website to the HMD Global official website, we can still see some Nokia devices available for sale. The reason for this might be to clear the stock and make way for HMD smartphones that’ll launch in a few weeks. However, HMD might still produce and launch Nokia phones, and the brand also encourages its fans to purchase Nokia smartphones while advertising their features.
However, some feel that the manufacturing of Nokia phones by HMD will be limited to feature phones. HMD seems to be turning its attention to the coming HMD smartphones and doesn’t seem to have much in store for Nokia smartphones. We can expect the coming feature device to launch at MWC 24 in a few weeks to have the Nokia branding.
This device might feature the features that HMD advertises in this video; reparable, durable, and long-lasting. The HMD Global branding might stick to the launch of smartphones while still producing Nokia feature phones. These are mere speculations from our sources, we’ll need to wait till the MWC event to know the future of the Nokia brand.
