Get ready for new Nokia Android phones. 

No, Nokia isn’t coming back. Instead a group of former Microsoft executives have formed a company called HMD global, which will use Nokia bring in a new line of Android smartphones tablets.

HMD signed an agreement with Nokia Technologies which allows the br licensing. This will certainly give the new devices a higher profile than if they were under an unknown label.

The Helsinki-based HMD didn’t offer any specifics about when such phones tablets would launch or what the pricing would be. The move further distances Nokia from Microsoft (whose own future with mia devices is rather uncertain). 

y this matters: For many of us, phones like the Nokia 1610 were our first foray into mobile technology. Much like Motorola, Nokia is one of those iconic brs that’s forever linked with the advent of mobile devices. The return of Nokia-bred phones is a nice piece of nostalgia, even though the marketplace has drastically changed.
