Nokia Android Phones (2017) Microsoft’s ownership of the Nokia brand license eventually expired last year, and Finnish firm HMD Global took over the rights

(Update: 12 January 2017): HMD says more smartphone announcements will be made at MWC 2017, which is the upcoming Barcelona-based tradeshow that takes place in February. Stay tuned for more.

In December, we heard official word that new Nokia handsets were in development, and that they would run on Google’s Android OS. This is a big deal, because it’s been quite a while since we saw authentic Nokia phones.

Nokia started making portable phones in 1987, and became the best-selling handset brand by 1998. But despite strong beginnings, it wasn’t long before Nokia slumped. In 2011, after a sales slump caused by competition from Android and the iPhone, Nokia signed its own death warrant by agreeing a pact with Microsoft to ship all its phones on the ailing Windows Phone OS. Nokia eventually stopped making phones in 2014, selling its mobile business to Microsoft and switching focus to mobile network equipment.

Microsoft sold phones under Nokia’s Lumia brand for a while, but that’s basically been killed off now – cue the new Surface Phone, expected 2017. Microsoft’s ownership of the Nokia brand license eventually expired last year, and Finnish firm HMD Global took over the rights.
Now, the company has launched its first Nokia handset in China, the Nokia 6. It’s set to go on sale in the country in early 2017, but there’s no word on whether we’ll see the phone in other markets just yet. Nokia has confirmed more announcements to come at MWC 2017 in February, so we’ll have to wait and see.

But there’s more to come in terms of Nokia handsets from HMD Global. Unfortunately, it’s still early days, so many of the actual hardware details are a mystery. Here’s what we know so far.
