That's a pretty 'average' phone for a comeback.
- Nokinside 10y agoNokia just collects licensing fees from this. The main force behind this is Foxconn who wants to reduce its dependency on Apple. HMD global incensed the brand and sells and markets the phones. Foxconn is manufacturing the phones and also behind the funding. Nokia has seat in the board and and it gives HMD global access to Nokia patents and R&D that comes out from Nokia Technologies.
- stuaxo 10y agoThey could at least try and make it look like a Nokia phone on the outside.
- droid8 10y agoIt's not like they have to live up to any particularly high expectations... As a brand, their history is made of two decades of mediocrity in both design and technology. If a new brand licensing on Android phones was all they could come up with, it's no surprise their CTO left two months ago.
- Nokinside 10y agoNokia was known for the quality of its phones trough 90's up to mid 2000's.
- fsloth 10y agoWhere did you get the two decades? Before IPhone came 10 years ago and changed the game from hardware to software plus ecosystem Nokia's phones were in the top category - no, sorry, they were in all of the categories since there were so many of them. Even after IPhone Nokia had years of great market position. Technology wise mediocre? Thats.. not really the general perception. Perhaps the fact that Nokia tanked as fast as it did creates a shadow over the history before this.
