Nokia 'Original' Phone Launch Teased for January 25 by HMD Global CPO

Nokia branded retro phones have seen a revival of interest - particularly in the feature phone segment - within the last few years, as Nokia mobile brand licensee HMD Global revived the flip phone factor and replaced the famous Nokia 8110 "Matrix Phone" brought back. Now, the company is teasing the launch of yet another Nokia original 'Nokia phone' which is expected to launch later this month. HMD Global's Chief Product Officer Juho Sarvikas has launched a Nokia original phone, which is likely to revive the classic Nokia feature phone with modern hardware and introduce some new tricks up its sleeve to cater to real buyers. Instead, just pull strings of nostalgia.

Sarvikas did not name the Nokia original phone in his tweet but did hint at a possible launch date later this month. The HMD Global executive noted the Chinese New Year in his tweet, which may well be the day the company unveils a more modern version of an excellent Nokia phone. And since the Chinese New Year will be celebrated on 25 January, we will not have to wait much to make our first Nokia phone. But as of now, HMD Global is yet to disclose any additional details about its upcoming Nokia original phone, such as its name, or internal specifications.

HMD Global revived the Nokia 8110 'Matrix Phone' and launched the Nokia 8110 4G phone at the end of 2018, adding modern features such as 4G connectivity, more powerful internals, and in this case a separate OS - KIOS - Which allows users to access YouTube. WhatsApp, and a host of other modern apps. Later in 2019, the company launched the Nokia 2720 flip phone, which also featured KaiOS and had a Snapdragon 205 SoC tick at its heart. The Finnish company also recalled the 2012 Nokia 110 and launched an upgraded version - the Nokia 110 (2019) last year. It added 4G support and came preloaded with snake games.
