Nokia, once a legendary phone brand, is now far from its former glory. The company’s inability to keep up with the rise of smartphones and a series of panicked wrong decisions led to this point. Today, the Finnish manufacturer operates under the umbrella of HMD Global. The latest information suggests that HMD Global plans to start manufacturing Nokia phones in Europe from Q3 2023. Here are the details…
HMD to begin manufacturing Nokia phones in Europe from Q3 of 2023
HMD Global has recently announced that it will begin manufacturing 5G Nokia smartphones in Europe from the third quarter of 2023. This move is significant because it makes HMD the first major smartphone maker to manufacture 5G phones in Europe. The shift towards manufacturing in Europe will be gradual and HMD plans on investing in facilities from now on.
The company has seen an increase in demand for its smartphones in Europe and views this move as a way to reduce its carbon footprint. HMD also noted that its data centers have been located in Finland since 2019, and it believes that having the manufacturing facilities nearby will help it ensure the security and privacy of its devices.
This move is particularly important in the current climate, where data privacy and security are becoming increasingly important issues for consumers. This will undoubtedly help the company to attract more customers who are concerned about data privacy and security. Although the company will attract attention with its new move, its success is not certain.
Unfortunately, Nokia phones under the umbrella of HMD Global were not innovative products and only appealed to a limited user base. This is expected to change in the company’s new era.
