Nokia has made a comeback into the mobile phone space with the launch of the Nokia 6 smartphone. And yes it is Android! This is the first of such devices to be launched by HMD Global who secured the rights to make phones under the Nokia brand for 10 years. Just as a recap, HMD is made up of ex-Nokia staff.

According to a press statement by HMD Global, more Nokia phones will be unveiled in the first half of 2017. More specifically, we look forward to the firm announcing the other Android devices at the Mobile World Congress (MWC).

 “Just a short while ago we announced the launch of HMD Global. From the outset we have stated that we intend to move with speed to establish a position as a player in the smartphone category and create products that truly meet consumer needs. The Nokia 6 is a result of listening to our consumers who desire a beautifully crafted handset with exceptional durability, entertainment and display features.

Our ambition is to deliver a premium product, which meets consumer needs at every price point, in every market. We start today, with our premium, high quality Nokia 6; built to deliver a fantastic core user experience for Chinese consumers. We look forward to unveiling further products in the first half of this year.”

-Arto Nummela, CEO, HMD Global
