The end of an era! HMD mobile phone official announcement: abandoning the Nokia brand

On February 1, HMD CEO Jean Francois Baril announced the launch of his own brand HMD mobile phone.

It is reported that HMD will officially release the world’s first HMD mobile phone at MWC in February. At the same time, Nokia brand smartphones will be abandoned by HMD.

The Nokia mobile social platform account is currently deactivated, and the new account is named "HMD Global". HMD officials said that our original intention of building mobile phones that are sturdy, durable, fun, safe and affordable has never changed.

Public information shows that Nokia was founded in 1865 and was as famous as Motorola at its peak.

In 2011, Nokia reached a cooperation with Microsoft to fully embrace the Windows Phone operating system.

In 2014, Nokia completed its mobile phone business transaction with Microsoft. Nokia sold its equipment and services business to Microsoft and exited the mobile phone market.

In 2016, Nokia authorized the Nokia brand to HMD. Now HMD is establishing a brand entity with "HMD Global" and gradually "de-Nokia".

Although it will be difficult to see Nokia smartphones again in the future, Nokia is still a leader in the field of network equipment, with more than 6,000 important patents related to 5G, and its influence on the smartphone industry still exists.
