It's official: Nokia manufacturer HMD launching it's own phones
The company that makes Nokia phones, HMD has confirmed it is launching its own phone brand, as well as other collaborations.
The Nokia brand has a long, interesting history in the smartphone space. While that may be a fun topic to dive into some other time, for now let's just focus on the fact that since 2016 Nokia phones have been manufactured by a company called HMD – or "Human Mobile Devices".
Today in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, HMD has confirmed that it is evolving, with plans to launch devices under its own "HMD" brand, while also continuing to manufacture and sell Nokia devices.
The company has also confirmed that it plans to "collaborate with inspirational partners" as well. It's first partnership is with Mattel, with a Barbie Flip phone set to arrive later this year.
