07 December 2018
Founded on December 1 2016, the company that brought back the Nokia brand to phones is off to a great start. But there are challenges ahead.

Their naming scheme is awful, honestly. They should've made like three phones a year, one for each range, not four entrylevel phones, four midrangers and one sorta flagship.

      I bet the haters are the ones who bought the first Nokia 6. C'mon, no one hated HMD Nokia a year ago. No hate please. Keep playing safe HMD even though 99% of the consumers rather want a flagship than those cheapos.

        Levy, 07 Dec 2018They tapped into the pent up nostalgia for the Nokia brand ... moreThey are putting their take into the design at least. Give them some time to build and grow.

          wasted time that nokia does not, fast lock, battery in vain, I can hardly ever buy a nokia

            Nokia of old and this chinese impostor (registered in Finland) are two different things. 2 years, all the 'alleged' help from real Nokia and not a single phone that has decent camera?

              They tapped into the pent up nostalgia for the Nokia brand to sell overpriced Chinese phones. It won't work forever imo.

Nokia, blackberry, Alcatel, Palm, etc. Tgey are all just names without any traditions. Just Chinese manufacturers mimicking to famous in past brand.
                                  And it's really interesting how much smartphones exactly they've sold.

                                    And Shakespeare said what's in a name. A name helped them sell 70 million phones. They wouldn't have sold even 7 million if they went by their real name, HMD Global.
