The Nokia 8 Sirocco
In a recent interview with Digital Trends, the company stated that it “really” wants to increase the size of its US business throughout 2019. Eventually, the company hopes Nokia will become “one of the leading smartphone brands” in the market. However, it is aware that there are already “big players” in the market and that achieving such a scenario will take quite a bit of time. Nevertheless, HMD is “confident” that growth can be achieved.
Looking to the future, HMD Global was keen to point out that its current focus is smartphones as it requires “full attention.” However, it was suggested that wearables and other product categories could be explored once the Nokia brand has grown to a reasonable size.
