Every time I hear about a so-called “tough,” “durable” phone or whatever, I can’t help but think of Nokia and reminisce about how ‘indestructible’ their phones were before smartphones took over. A report alleges that Nokia has extended their partnership with HMD ‘by about another three years’. This follows our previous report of Nokia seeking out other smartphone manufacturers. For reference, the original expiration deal of Nokia and HMD Global’s partnership was set for 2026. Earlier this year, HMD stopped making Nokia-branded smartphones and had them unlisted on their website. As per the ‘renewed’ agreement, HMD won’t return to the smartphone market bearing Nokia’s name.
