Nokia is plotting ANOTHER comeback and plans to release five old-school mobile phones
Finnish firm launches second attempt to get back into the market, two years after the flop of its Windows 10 powered phones
NOKIA will release FIVE new smartphones in a comeback for 2017, it has confirmed.
The Android phones will have 5” and 5.7” displays and the first set will be unveiled at the annual Mobile World Congress tech show in February.
The former market leader fell from grace after the iPhone hit the market in the late noughties.
And while older Nokia models are worth an absolute fortune at auction, a return using the much-loathed Windows 10 operating system was a massive flop.
But it’s hoped that with the introduction of an Android operating system (and a new design team behind the scenes), the phones will be a hit with nostalgic gadget lovers.
The announcement is hot on the heels of BlackBerry – another phone company trying to claw back lost custom for 2017.
It will release a top secret “evolutionary first” at upcoming CES conference in Las Vegas in January.
A leak of a handset dubbed “Mercury” with a Qwerty keyboard along with a touchscreen have been doing the rounds online.
