HMD Global is a Finnish company famous for producing Nokia-branded smartphones. In a recent development, it has revealed plans to launch its own series of mobile devices. On Monday, HMD Global CEO Jean-Francois Baril announced on Linkedin that the firm will be expanding its portfolio with a new HMD brand. It will co-exist alongside its Nokia phones. Moreover, users will see collaborations with “exciting new partners” that have yet to be disclosed. Recently, a new leak surfaced online giving us a sneak peek of the first HMD-branded smartphone.

HMD Global CEO stated:

“It has been a great journey as ‘HMD – the home of Nokia phones’ – an exclusive position we have held for the past six years. Now we are ready for the next step on our journey – to enter the market independently as a force to create a new world for telecommunications focused on consumer needs.”

HMD To Launch Its First Own Smartphone

Last year, two model numbers: N159V and TA-158 surfaced on the IMEI database. They were anticipated to be the upcoming Nokia Phones. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The latest leaked renders appear to be of model number N159V. One of them would be the first HMD-branded phone. Let’s have a look at the render:

The leaked render shows the first HMD smartphone. It appears to have a black matte back and a flat display. You can see two cameras in the rear sitting inside a rectangular camera bump. In addition, there is a punch-hole selfie snapper located in the top center of the screen. If we look at the right side of the device, there are the volume and power buttons. The smartphone is made of a plastic-looking material. Apparently, it looks like a budget or mid-range handset designed for people who are looking for a reasonable smartphone.

There has been no additional information provided regarding the new HMD products by the company yet. Moreover, there is no hint regarding the potential release date. So, let’s wait and watch what comes next. Stay tuned for more updates.
