HMD Global recently revamped its online presence, discontinuing the Nokia brand across all platforms. Nokia’s official website is now redirected to HMD.com, and the @nokiamobile Twitter handle has been renamed to @HMDglobal, marking the transition to an HMD-only brand. Reports suggest that a new Nokia-branded smartphone could be featured on his IMEI website, even though it is expected that only his HMD-branded products will appear in the future. .
According to a report by GSMChina, 17 new Nokia models have been confirmed on the IMEI website, with model numbers ranging from TA-1603 to TA-1628. The report speculates that these models can vary widely, including potential RAM and storage variations for specific models. Some of these models may also debut at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, scheduled to be held in Barcelona from February 26th to February 29th.
The report does not provide specific details about these alleged smartphones, but it does confirm the continued use of the Nokia brand. The 10-year agreement signed between Nokia and HMD Global in 2016 is set to expire in 2026, suggesting new Nokia models could be on the market by then. The model spotted in the IMEI database could be launched in the near future, perhaps this year, but further details are awaited.
HMD to launch 9 new mobile phones?
It was recently reported that IMEI’s website has nine new devices listed under the HMD brand. These may represent individual models or may include RAM and storage variants of the primary model. A particular HMD model codenamed N159V has been revealed in a recent leak, featuring a black color variant and dual rear camera setup with LED flash, suggesting it is a mid-range product.
Another leak showcased the upcoming HMD smartphone, which is expected to debut in a blue color variant. The device has a prominent rectangular camera module in the top left corner of the back panel, which houses his 108 million pixel primary camera with support for optical image stabilization (OIS). Details regarding this model are limited at this time.
