A September 2025 report alleges that Nokia has extended its licensing agreement with HMD Global by about three years. However, under this renewed agreement, HMD will not return to making Nokia-branded smartphones. Instead, the focus will be on producing and selling Nokia-branded feature phones. HMD had already removed Nokia smartphones from its global website in January 2025.

Yes. In July 2025, HMD Global quietly exited the US market, pausing sales of both HMD and Nokia devices there. The company cited a challenging geopolitical and economic environment. It has stated it will focus on other markets, including regions where microfinancing is prominent, and has continued releasing phones in the Philippines.

HMD Global has launched a wide range of devices, from ultra-basic feature phones to budget smartphones. Recent launches include the basic HMD 100 and HMD 101 feature phones (Dec 2025), the HMD Touch 4G with a custom RTOS (Oct 2025), the budget Android 14 Go Edition HMD Key (Jan 2025), and the leaked mid-range HMD Pulse 2 Pro smartphone (Sep 2025). They have also released audio products like the HMD Amped Buds (Mar 2025).
