HMD Global is celebrating the second anniversary of Nokia’s return with the launch of the Nokia 8.1 in Dubai, which is also when the folks over at WinFuture got to deep dive into the past, present, and future of Nokia.
Gerbracht told WinFuture that most Nokia phone buyers are those who’re aware of the brand name from the past and I can vouch for that from personal experience. Many were surprised Nokia’s switch to Android smartphones and the question was whether they would be as good as the old Nokia phones.
On the Forefront of Innovation!
Gerbracht told WinFuture that there has been a flood of Nokia phones released to date, however, there has been no real innovation, which was something Nokia was known for back in the day. HMD too strives to be on the ‘forefront of innovation’ in the next year and offer new technologies first, but at reasonable prices to the masses. Image courtesy: Ben Geskin/Twitter
No Gaming Phone in the Works
While HMD Global strives for the Nokia brand to get back to its roots and innovate, the Finnish giant isn’t looking to revive its N-Gage gaming phone lineup anytime soon. We have watched the evolution of the gaming smartphone market over the past year, which is still too niche.
