    Finally it will be with a name that all will look away.
    Under Nokia branding they just existed and there is no hope they exist with the HMD branding.

    Only way to climb out of the hole is to start to make one good budget phone something like 250 euro and have SD695 in it or 7s gen 2 then in middle class have something like D7300 or 7+ gen 2 and for flagship that stay under 700 euro and have all the cameras and something like D9300 or 8 gen 3 in it. Middle class also needs to be as cheap as Xiaomi and it's poco series. Be with stock android and have 3 os updates.

    But that be just a wet dream for the old Nokia users who use the brand before smartphones.

            The U and Desire series are not odm like wildfire.
            Also, according to htc, the U23 duo has much better sales than desire 22 series.
            It is slow path to stability.

              Well, at least you can rest in peace now!

                    D-tier brands you've probably never heard of:

                    Are all stable doing business for YEARS

                    HMD has a healthy Chance of working, especially since they have a proper supply chain already

                                  It's such a shame. I remember when it was first announced that "Nokia" would be selling phones with stock android. All of us Nexus fans were so excited. I remember owning at least two models. The rear fingerprint sensors were slow, battery life wasn't great, and the cameras were very ordinary. The build quality was great though.

                                    Now, it's time for Nokia Corporation to take back their brand and start making Nokia smartphones. Last real Nokia smartphone was Lumia 930.

                                        Finally. Maybe now Nokia can sell their name to someone competent or even better start their own production. At the very least Nokia won't keep getting its named stained
