In rece years, HMD and Nokia have gradually reduced their cooperation in brand licensing; An agreeme on which HMD launched simple and smartphones with the brand of Finnish company. Nokia has now used an unusual way to confirm its willingness to find a new partner.
The official accou of the Nokia Association Manager in Redit (quoted by Mobilissimo) has announced that the company is seeking to collaborate with “a major mobile phone manufacturer” that was to explore “common opportunities”. The image of this message is visible below. This ieresting way from Nokia to announce ierest in re -issuing its brand license to a phone manufacturer. The company, of course, was answering a question from users about the future of brand licensing. However, the same response suggested that Nokia has so far had not found a successor to agree with HMD.
The news comes as nearly two years have passed since HMD announced that it plans to launch smartphones with its brand. However, the company still offers simple Nokia brand phones. According to reports, the licensing agreeme between HMD and Nokia will be valid by year 3.
In the coext of the agreeme, HMD acquired a set of Nokia -related pates, hiring many former Nokia employees, and launched modern versions of the brand’s classic handsets. The startup also launched the ambitious but unsuccessful Nokia 9 PureView flagship phone, but failed to offer other flagship models. Instead, focused on mid -range products and repair devices. Recely, the company has announced that it will leave the US market, citing “complex geopolitical and economic conditions”.
Despite the challenges facing HMD, it is unclear whether another brand can perform a better performance called Nokia. Perhaps a larger company can launch Nokia flagship phones with more advanced technology and provide more resources in marketing and research. However, HMD failed to meet expectations despite its specific pois. In addition, the Nokia brand seems to be dramatically diminished by the younger generation. Therefore, the possibility of revitalizing Nokia brand competition with companies such as Samsung, Apple and other competitors is not very realistic.
