Nokia, a brand that once reigned supreme in the mobile world, has faced significant changes in recent years. After Microsoft acquired Nokia in 2014, the company decided to phase out the Nokia brand and instead use the Lumia brand. These changes were implemented gradually, and eventually, the Nokia name was removed from many products.
In 2024, HMD Global, the company responsible for producing Nokia phones, decided to completely abandon the Nokia brand and market its products under its own brand. This decision marked the end of a long and illustrious era for Nokia in the mobile world.
These changes reflect major transformations in the mobile industry and the efforts of companies to adapt to new market needs and demands. However, Nokia will remain in memory as one of the pioneers and main innovators in the mobile world
Goodbye Nokia? HMD has completely removed the Nokia phone names from its website.
Nokia devices are no longer visible on any of HMD’s official websites in Europe. Nokia-branded products are still available in HMD stores in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America. It is predicted that the supply of products in these regions will also stop in the near future.
HMD’s support page still supports Nokia smartphones and feature phones and provides them with software updates; however, the duration of this support is not specified.
Nokia remains a major player in the network infrastructure business and one of the largest patent holders in the technology world, with legal claims against several mobile manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, and BBK Group
