HMD Global, the company behind Nokia-branded phones, has made a significant shift by rebranding Nokia's social media handles and website to Human Mobile Devices (HMD).
Additionally, the url Nokia.com/phones is now directing users to HMD Global's website. These changes have sparked speculation about the potential withdrawal of the iconic Nokia brand from the market.
HMD Global has released a teaser video, reaffirming the brand's commitment to serving a diverse array of customers.
The video offers a glimpse into the future with previews of upcoming products, including smartphones, tablets, and wireless earbuds. This move suggests that HMD Global is gearing up to make a significant splash in the consumer electronics space beyond just smartphones.
The rebranded website clearly articulates HMD Global's vision for upcoming smartphones, emphasising qualities such as being fun, secure, fast, and affordable.
This indicates a strategic shift in the brand's positioning and likely product offerings.
In addition, the website highlights the brand's extensive international presence, with a reach extending to over 200 countries and serving a user base exceeding 400 million Nokia users since the brand's takeover in 2016.
While the rebranding and teaser video hint at exciting developments on the horizon, it's important to note that HMD Global has not explicitly confirmed the discontinuation of the Nokia brand.
