HMD Global to establish its own HMD smartphone brand

12 September 2023
The announcement comes from the CEO of HMD Global on their LinkedIn profile.

Sort by:

For this to make sense, Nokia itself has to make phones that people care about, right?
They haven't made anything relevant since the Nokia 9 (so much wasted potential!) and the Nokia 8 Sirocco.

        But why?

          Anonymous, 12 Sep 2023We both know that’s not happening, at least not long-term.Well in that case their own brand will be a failure since no one will buy their Horrible Multimedia Devices

            Not that Chinese phones are bad, but in some way, Samsung comes out better. I use a moto as a daily driver and it's one of the best phones I owned

                Co-exist? I highly doubt it.

                    Nokia phones are not going to be discontinued. They are introducing their own brand, that will "co-exist" with Nokia

                              Nokia had a good death with windows phone, They were also build to last and lived upto Nokia's reputation. HMD completely butchered the name of Nokia and now after this they want to start their own brand ? Nokia didn't deserve this ending. RIP

                                rizki1, 12 Sep 2023This means Nokia is gone and no one wants to revive it agai... moreHMD Global has realized the last several years of basically using the Nokia name, dragging it through the mud with crap products to hoist themselves in a better position financially and giving diehard Nokia fans no hope that we'll never see another Nokia branded phone worth a damn, all to position themselves in this low to low-midrange segment where they can make a healthy profit margin and continue their medicrety just under the HMD name now.

                                  Good luck to HMD for selling their e-waste without the legendary name on the back though

                                    Nokia phones died when real nokia technologies declared , thay are no longer associated wiTh hmd and nokia as a phone manufacturer is a thing of past . they are now a b2b company .


                                    Every nokia fan saw this coming after juho left hmd . no one is interested in chinese hmd crap .

                                      This means Nokia is gone and no one wants to revive it again. How crazy, decades ago they were one of the top in the world but now..

                                      countries where HMD does not exist, now brands like Samsung will increase because of no choice. Not because Samsung is good.

                                        This is just an announcement to save face. I think Nokia probably is calling them up to start packing ip and forgetting about using their name
