Although HMD Global is largely known in oversea markets like Europe and Asia, most people actually recognize that company as the one behind today’s line of Nokia phones. After years of making phones that carry the Nokia name — including the modern versions of classics like the Nokia 8110 “banana phone” — HMD is finally releasing its own branded phones.
In fact, the HMD Vibe is coming to the U.S. very soon to compete in the budget space. Meanwhile, the HMD Pulse, Pulse Plus, and Pulse Pro round out the company’s new lineup, with that trio of devices aimed at overseas markets. Regardless, these first ever HMD-branded phones could help to elevate the company’s brand recognition.
