Nokia had been thought to be out of the smartphone market as its association with HMD now seems to mostly concern feature phones with its branding (such as the 3310 revival) – but perhaps not anymore.
The company’s Community Manager has taken to its subreddit to make an announcement indicating that it is looking for a manufacturing partner for new mobile devices.
Nokia would apparently prefer a “large-scale” factory for this purpose, suggesting that it might want its new handsets to be affordable, have decent availability worldwide, or both.
The last crop of Nokia smartphones targeted longevity and sustainability as selling points, although maintaining up-to-date software was typically not their strong suit: for example, this G60 as listed on Amazon is still on Android 14.
The company had some critical hits with some units such as the XR21, although most of its handsets were mediocre at best. Hopefully, its new foray into the market can do better this time.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
