The owner of the Nokia company stops selling branded smartphones

The Finnish company HMD Global, which owns the rights to the production of Nokia smartphones and push-button phones, has decided to stop their deliveries to the markets of the EU and other countries. 

What is known about the removal of problematic Nokia-branded products from the market

It is noted that Nokia devices have been removed from the catalogs on the HMD websites in Great Britain, Germany and Austria.

In particular, on the support page you can still find models that receive software support, but it is not known how long this will last.

HMD Global acquired the rights to use the Nokia brand within the mobile segment in 2016.

In particular, under the Nokia brand it was possible to release the Nokia G22, which authoritative publications called one of the best devices of 2023.

Last year, representatives of HMD Global said that they wanted to focus on the development of their own brand.

In particular, the company has already released several devices under the HMD brand, including the flagship Skyline in the style of old Nokia, which is convenient to repair, as well as the stylish clamshell The Boring Phone with a transparent body.

What is known about Nokia's current activities

At the same time, Nokia Corporation remains a major player in the network infrastructure market.

In particular, recently Nokia presented the first audio call and video call using spatial 3D sound.

It gives a feeling spatial three-dimensional sound, as if the interlocutor is next to you in the same room.

In addition to “immersive” calls between people, the new technology can be used in conference calls to separate the voices of the speakers.

Some apps like Apple Music, Netflix and Disney Plus also offer surround sound for a more realistic listening experience, but only on supported devices.

Most smartphones these days have at least two microphones. This is enough to implement this technology and transmit in real time the spatial characteristics of the call.

The technology is called part of the future standard 5G Advanced, but when it will be available to the general public, the company does not say. It will probably take a few years to spread.
