HDM Global, the makers of Nokia smartphones, back in September launched an original HMD brand. At that time, the company said that will launch a new portfolio of HMD branded mobile devices, as well as Nokia devices, and will also collaborate with new partners to launch new devices.
Now the company has officially changed their social handles and the website from Nokia Mobile to HMD. It is still selling Nokia phones, tablets and accessories, and will continue to offer support, but it is not expected to launch any new phones under the Nokia brand.
The company now says that it is getting warmed up to bring you even more, including original HMD devices, and phones from all-new partnerships. It has also posted a teaser video that shows the design of the upcoming phone.
It has also teased a new HMD phone that shows a Lumia-like design and Pink colour.
An earlier render showed the phone in Blue, revealing a 108MP camera with OIS. According to @evleaks, codenames of the upcoming HMD phones are Pulse, Legend, Pulse+, Legend Plus, Pulse Pro and Legend Pro.
The new HMD phones are expected to be introduced at the MWC 2024 in Barcelona at the end of February.
Regarding the development, Ravi Kunwar, VP, India & APAC, HMD Global, said:
Today is a big day for HMD as we move from being a brand licensee to a brand owner, a big step in our journey! This means you will get to see unique HMD originals, the Nokia phones that you’ve always loved, and some super exciting partnerships that we can’t wait to reveal. We’re excited about the opportunities this presents, and I invite you all to stay tuned for the unfolding chapters. Your unwavering support fuels our commitment to delivering excellence, and together, we’re telling a compelling story of innovation and progress.
