HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, has announced a strategic partnership with Xplora, a Norway-based maker of children’s smartwatches.
The collaboration aims to develop smartphones designed to promote responsible digital usage among the youth.
This move aligns with HMD’s ongoing commitment to addressing the growing concerns of parents regarding the early adoption of smartphones. The company’s Better Phone Project, launched earlier this year, highlighted the negative impacts of excessive screen time on children’s physical and mental well-being.
The new youth-focused smartphones will feature a range of safety and privacy features, as well as parental controls to help manage screen time and online activity.
“We are excited to join forces with Xplora to deliver tech solutions tailored to the unique needs of children and young people,” said Jean-Francois Baril, CEO and Chairman of HMD Global.
“This allows us to foster a healthy and positive relationship with technology — providing all the essential features, without any unnecessary distractions.”
HMD and Xplora reportedly expect to showcase the first products and services resulting from this partnership at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March 2025.
