Human Mobile Devices (HMD Global) is set to launch its own brand of devices, signaling a potential departure from Nokia Mobile smartphones. The announcement came from HMD, who also hinted at an upcoming lineup of products, including smartphones, tablets, and wireless earbuds. Speculation is swirling that the first HMD-branded smartphones could be unveiled at MWC Barcelona, scheduled for February 26-29.
HMD’s official website declares the Finnish company as the “Manufacturers of Nokia Phones,” leaving room for the possibility of future Nokia-branded releases.
