Nokia 2017: powerful and well-designed

Recently, Nokia has officially announce their coming back with 2 up-coming Android smartphones under the name Nokia D1C and Nokia C1. HMD Global is the Finnish company that got the license to exploit Nokia brand. 2 days ago, HMD Global claimed that they have come up with a contract with Mother, an UK advertising agency to prepared for Nokia comeback. Nokia fans now have the next news to feel hopeful since a new design of Nokia 2017 phones was leaked.

As you can see below, the back rear of Nokia 2017 is made of metal with flat edges. These are expected to be the real pictures of the upcoming Nokia smartphones and it will have two versions, the low-end version with plastic material and the metal premium one. There are also three color choices: black, white and gold. With a very simple name, the Nokia 2017 looks quite modern with narrow edges.

The back of this smartphone is pretty neat with the 18MP primary camera and dual flash. While the front panel includes the 8MP selfie camera, the navigation buttons on the external touch screen and the integrated fingerprint in Home button. In addition, the machine is also equipped with a USB Type-C at the bottom edge and 3.5 mm headphone jack on the top edge. As for the configuration, Nokia 2017 features a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED Quad HD screen. Besides, it boasts 4 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.

This is another evidence for Nokia’s return

We have had a lot of official announcement of Nokia about its return, this stunning phone with powerful specs and well-design is a reconfirmation of Nokia and all Nokia fans have the right to see the model Nokia 2017 in MWC 2017 in Barcelona. If you are looking forward to owning such a great phone, stay tuned and keep updating more leaked information!

The Finnish giant confirmation to return phone market is like a declaration to fight with the formidable competitor like Apple and Samsung. When the phone market was in its infancy, Nokia is the giant, just like the current Apple. Let’s see how fierce the battle between Nokia and Apple is!

Nokia still has a lot of fans

Every Nokia product launched used to be well received in the frenzy of the fans. However, Nokia had hesitated to change before the mobile industry developed too quickly. They were gradually being left behind giving the land for Samsung and Apple. Years passed, two mobile operating systems, iOS and Android, are still dominant the market. Even Blackberry, the most officer favorite phone, also can not keep up with the competition and declared to stop manufacturing their smartphone segment. However, Nokia lovers will rejoice when this brand goes back under the management of the HMD Global – a commercial company that owns the rights to exploit Nokia brand.

They are ready to declare war on all, especially Apple, who stole the crown from Nokia. HMD Global was established for the purpose of creating an independent provider focusing on Nokia including smartphones and tablets. The new products will be Android based. The suspected device listed on Geekbench performance evaluation. One of them features 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 430 octa-core chipset. It also comes with 8 MP front and 16MP rear camera and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat.

The company also confirmed that it will introduce two high-end smartphone with Quad HD screen in two dimensions 4.8 inches and 5.5 inches, up to 22.6 MP camera and supports 4K video recording. Both will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip 820 or chip Intel’s latest dual-core. Observers predict that the most advanced Nokia smartphones will be around $450 to $500. This is reasonable in the context of high-end Android phones can not compete with Apple’s iPhone. Nokia comes back and uses the Android – a dream come true for many people.

Apple will survive and keep their crown

But Nokia fans have been waiting too long and tend to move to iOS. Many people said that the company will remain a certain level of success thanks to past glory, provided that HMD Global Product bring enough “of the Nokia” along with good after-sales service. Only then, the qualities of the new Nokia is revived. If not, this brand may lose the Nokia vs Apple fight again.

Xperia X compact and Nokia D1C both have some characteristics in common like 3GB RAM and equivalent screen size. So, in this Nokia D1C vs Xperia X Compact battle, which one will win? Let’s have a look!

Nokia D1C vs Xperia X Compact: 3GB RAM phones

Nokia D1C is the most potential Android smartphone of Nokia. It is likely to be launched in Nokia comeback at the beginning of 2017. Xperia X Compact was launched to the public since September. Both smartphones feature a 3GB RAM along with 32GB of internal storage. Although Nokia D1C is reported to show up with two variants: 16GB and 32GB, we will only mention the second variant in this article. Regarding the screen size, Nokia D1C is expected to house a 4.8 inch display. This size is slightly bigger than Xperia X compact, 0.2 inch more.

Under the hood, the D1C is powered by Snapdragon 430, while the X Compact is much stronger with the assistance of Snapdragon 650. However, the Nokia smartphone is expected to run Android Nougat 7.0, while Xperia handset runs the previous Android Marshmallow 6.0.1. Regarding photography, Nokia wins with higher resolution in the selfie shooter with 8MP, while X Compact only boasts 5MP. But when it comes to primary camera, Xperia X Compact is much stronger with 23MP, while the D1C only features 15 or 16MP.

Until now, we are not sure whether Nokia will return to the smartphone market next year. If they really come back, their products could be fierce rivals to other Android smartphone brands. In this case, Xperia X Compact and Nokia D1C both possess distinct advantages . If you want a strong processor and a decent rear camera, you can choose Xperia. But if you like to experience the new version of Android and a good front snapper, the Nokia phone will be a good choice.

Nokia D1C vs Xperia X Compact: two Android rivals

Like we mentioned above, Xperia X Compact is available in the market now, quoted at $453. Meanwhile Nokia D1C is still a question to every tech fan. However, it is expected to be a mid-range smartphone.

The Finnish technology company Nokia will officially come back to the smartphone market after the terms related to the contract with Microsoft expires. Back to Android, focusing on high-end line or dominate the secondary market, there are too many questions raised about the Nokia strategy when they return to the market.

Current Nokia Strategy

Over 2 years ago, Microsoft acquired the hardware and service array of Nokia. Since then, the company changed the business strategy, they stopped using the Nokia brand for new products and the development. On 5 May 2016, Microsoft signed an agreement with HMD Global, a Finnish private enterprise. Now HMD Global has the exclusive license to manufacture the Nokia phones and tablets in the next 10 years. Microsoft will receive a total of $350 million from these two companies – Nokia and HMD.

According to many leaked information and official announcement, Nokia seems to follow the strategy of co-operating with third party company to develop and produce their up-coming phones, instead of making phones themselves. HMD Global will launch at least 2 Nokia Android smartphones in quarter 2/2017. We can expect those will be Nokia P1 and Nokia C1. Nokia’s new smartphones are expected to have good quality with competitive price. 

The Nokia’s upcoming handset will have a bunch of innovation. The new smartphone is capable of escaping the shackle Windows Phone from Microsoft and runs on the Android platform, the OS in 4 out of 5 smartphones worldwide. And of course, they will give birth to a unique brand in the manufacturing mobile phone industry under the development of a third party company. This is also a premise for other co-operations between Nokia and other third party enterprises.

The market response will decide future Nokia Strategy

After all, Nokia will soon come back to the market in 2017 as in their official announcement. As for 2 new phones, Nokia C1 and Nokia P1, the customers’ response will decide the future Nokia strategy. If the sale and profits are optimistic, Nokia might continue to collaborate with third party company to develop and produce more phones. So will you buy a new Nokia phone? Stay tuned to keep up to date with Nokia next moves!

Nokia, who dominated the mobile market for a long time, has totally disappeared for the past two years. However, why such a legendary Nokia could be dethroned? Let’s together rewrite some main reasons today for their loss. 

Legendary Nokia: two main reasons for their failure

Nokia decided to sell its handset business to Microsoft for $7.2 billion. In 2014, the deal of this contract was closed. According to the terms, Nokia wouldn’t manufacture any mobile phones along with the temporary commitment of the disappearance of their brand. So, what was the main reasons for this? Firstly, Apple and Android defeated it. Specifically, Nokia was a hardware company rather than a software company. Their experts were excellent at building physical devices, but not the programs that make those devices work. For example, the generations of Nokia Lumia ran Microsoft operating system, and there were so many unavailable apps.

While Apple and Samsung, they manufacture not only sleek and charming smartphones but also various and helpful apps to cater for users’ need. That might be the main reason for Nokia to gradually lost its market share and foothold in this fierce industry. Another primary factor attributed to Nokia’s failure is their overestimation. The company was so complacent about their brands. Long after the iPhone’s release, Nokia continued to insist that its superior hardware designs would win over users.

Nokia had already introduced too many disappointing phones, and its operating system had already proven too obsolete to win consumers over. In 2008, Nokia was said to have one of the most valuable brands in the world. But it failed to recognize that brands weren’t as resilient as they had been. The high-tech era has taught people to expect constant innovation. When companies fall behind, consumers are quick to punish them.

Legendary Nokia: a promising comeback

Although Nokia disappointed many customers for a long time, the acquisition between Microsoft and Nokia really astonished thousands of tech fans all over the world. In the coming future, they are highly expected to comeback with the very first Android smartphone in the beginning of 2017. Whether that Nokia will draw a lesson from the past? The answer is anticipated to have soon.

Nokia has officially confirmed that they will come back the smartphone market after two years selling Lumia Finnish company to Microsoft because of failing to compete with Apple and Samsung. Let’s check some reasons for Nokia come back. 

Nokia’s remark

In the 1990s, when mobile phones started to become popular, Nokia’s handset are many people’s desire. The user friendliness and good batteries are the strengths that made Nokia outstanding at the time. Nokia was born in Europe and the most glorious years of Nokia probably began in 1994, when they launched series 2100 series phones, the first handsets using the Nokia Tune ringtone. Only 5 years later, Nokia became the largest phone manufacturer in the world, every fourth mobile phone to sell out, with 1 unit of Nokia.

The following year, Nokia achieved a significant success with the first phone to shoot video, the Nokia 3650 in 2002. Nokia was also the first to launch 3G with the Nokia 6650. With 3G technology, the phone can now be used to surf the Internet, downloading music, watching TV and much more. Nokia was definitely the pioneer in the technology all around the world until Apple and Samsung dominate the mobile phone market. 

So there’s no reason that the world customers aren’t pleased to welcome the news last week. Nokia will officially come back to the market under the current agreement. HMD – a Finnish company will handle the development of devices running Android under the supervision of Nokia. This is quite important because Nokia knows how to produce and add functionality to the product. Moreover, Nokia is holding the mobile patents necessary when the world is moving to 5G. 

Many people are looking forward to Nokia come back

After all, Nokia is sure to soon re-export in early 2017 with 2 Android phones. And consumers are absolutely right to expect in a new, modern smartphones, inheriting the advantages of ordinary telephone lines before. So follow our blog for more information about new phones from Nokia – the oldie of smartphone world.

Nokia seems to never fail to make us curious about their comeback. Lately, in another source, Nokia D1C has been reclaimed to be a smartphone rather than a tablet like the previous leak in GFXBench. So, which is the truth about this mysterious handset?

Nokia D1C: a tablet or a smartphone?

Just so you know, Nokia D1C was spotted on GeekBench and AnTuTu with several specs. But no information to answer whether it is a smartphone or a tablet. Not so long after that, GFXBench revealed the evidence to prove that the potential upcoming device is a tablet with a 13.8-inch display. The netizens still do not absorb the disclosure completely, but now continue to receive another one. According to this source, Nokia D1C is expected to be a smartphone with just 4.8 inch in screen size.

About other Nokia D1C specs, we would like to round up some details for you. The handset is likely to be powered by 1.4 GHz Snapdragron 430 Processor along with Adreno 505 GPU. It will feature 3GB RAM and be available in two variants in terms of internal storage: 16GB and 32GB. The device might be equipped with out of the box Android Nougat 7.0. Whether it is a tablet or a smartphone, Nokia D1C is expected to come with 1080 display, or we can say full HD resolution.

Regarding Nokia D1C camera, it is hoped not to disappoint users. The combination of 15MP or 16MP rear camera with 8MP in the snapper will be integrated in this new handset. In case it is a smartphone, of course it will have a slot to insert SIM card. But it is still a question if this feature will be included in a tablet.

Nokia D1C: more surprises are waiting ahead!

Until now, it is high time to emphasize that we shouldn’t jump into any conclusion about this device. Whether a tablet or a smartphone is still a mystery well kept. We will keep updating from reliable sources and select the best piece of confirmation, as soon as something official is announced.

Nokia brand is likely to make a comeback with two Android smartphones in the next year. However, in a recent news, the emergence of Nokia D1C tablet has astonished all of us. Here are some reasons towards why we prefer a smartphone to a tablet.

Nokia brand: a smartphone is of more demand

As you all know, Nokia was the largest company in the smartphone market till 2011. They successfully gained their reputation in terms of strong and durable mobile phones. After the contract with Microsoft, they almost disappeared from the market for the past two years. But now, the giant is expected to be on the way of making their grand return. And that being said, more people hope to see an Android smartphone from Nokia rather than a tablet.

Firstly, it is obvious that a smartphone is more handy and portable than a tablet. You can easily put your device into your pocket because of its small size. Secondly, we are not sure whether a Nokia tablet will have a slot to insert a SIM card. A smartphone is integrated with similar functions like a tablet, but it is totally sure that we can make a call or send an offline message.

The third reason is the camera concern. Clearly that a handy smartphone is much more convenient for selfie than a tablet. Instead of squirming a bulky tablet and easily drop it into the ground, owning a mobile phone is a choice of the majority of customers. Last but not least, it consumes more energy when it comes to a tablet. With a larger size, the tablet needs much more power to run the system. The last two reasons are even more convincing, considering that Nokia has been world-famous for their Pureview camera technology and impressive battery lives for smartphones. We are yet to be ready to sacrifice those by having a tablet, are we?

Nokia brand: what will really show up?

Like most fans of Nokia, we expect an Android Nokia smartphone to be launched rather than a tablet. Nokia has always been believed as one of the top smartphone manufacturers in the world, even after their 2-year absence. Therefore, it is projected to continue their strengths and develop to a new level. Because of all the above, we are expecting that Nokia D1C will finally be confirmed a mobile phone, rather than a bulky 13-inch tablet.

Official announcements about 2 upcoming new Nokia Android phones were recently confirmed by Microsoft. After some leaked specs about Nokia P1 and Nokia C1, let’s check the reality of these Nokia Android phones’ release.

Nokia Android phones: it has all been confirmed

Talking more specifically about the upcoming Nokia phones, Microsoft has pledged to fully and comprehensively cooperate with Global HMD – a Finnish company. They will jointly promote the return of the Nokia brand into the market to bring consumers new experiences and satisfaction. The big oldie of the mobile industry is still expected to keep track with smartphone business. In a meeting with a Vietnamese company, senior staff of Microsoft has announced that Nokia will officially return. It seems that Microsoft would focus on Asia area first, where Nokia is a favorite phone brand. 

Mr. James Rutherfoord – CEO of mobile device commodities of Microsoft Asia also stated that some factories and manufacturing technology sold to Foxconn in last May were only meant for producing feature phones. Microsoft is still the owner of Lumia and Nokia smartphone technology under HMD’s technological development. Microsoft and Global HMD has made an agreement so that HMD has a license to exploit Nokia Brand for the next 10 years and HMD confirmed that they are planning to launch some new Nokia devices.

At the same time, he also revealed that, Global HMD will release at least 2 Nokia Android smartphones in quarter 2/2017. We can expect those will be Nokia P1 and Nokia C1 will the previous leaked information. Notably, Mr. James Rutherfoord promised that Nokia’s new smartphones will have good quality with competitive price. Nokia products, in general, will have its own design language and are distinct from other companies’ products in the market like Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei.

New Nokia Android phones availability

So after a lot of previously speculated information, everything just gets much clearer now. We will soon have 2 new Nokia Android phones because Nokia will join Mobile World Congress 2017, where we expect to see Nokia P1 and Nokia C1 . Now we’ll have to wait and see the latest move from Nokia and look forward to Nokia Android Phones in 2017.

Yesterday, netizens have just been tumultuous towards the announcement on Nokia’s official Twitter about their attendance on MWC in 2017. Today, we again receive rather surprising news from GFXBench: Nokia D1C might be an Android tablet…

Nokia D1C tablet: 13.8 inch, full HD resolution

In previous news, Nokia D1C has appeared on Geekbench and AnTuTu with some specific specs. And the new emergence of this smartphone was spotted is on GFXBench. According to this benchmark, Nokia D1C is powered by Android 7.0 Nougat. It should definitely stand out from the crowds and be a fierce rival to other tablets in the market. Like the report on AnTuTu, the benchmark also discloses that, it packs a 1.4GHz octa-core processor Snapdragon 430 in combination with an Adreno 505 GPU.

Besides, the handset is reported to sport a 3GB RAM and 16GB of inbuilt storage. However, GFXBench reveals that only 9GB of the free storage will be available for further usage, since the rest might be used for operating system. The flagship is expected to house a 16 MP rear camera and an 8MP in the front camera. Excitingly, both cameras are able to record full HD (1080) videos. So Nokia D1C is claimed to be a camera mobile that is worth waiting for, right?

Yet, the characteristic that helps us to identify a tablet is the screen size. That being said, Nokia D1C is likely to feature a huge 13.8 inch display that supports full HD (1080) resolution. If it turns out this Android Nokia really comes at such dimension, as reported by GFXBench, Nokia D1C will end up being a tablet rather than a handy smartphone as we knew.

Nokia D1C tablet: a surprise to everyone

What we have until now is just some information on major benchmarks such as Geekbench, AnTuTu and GFXBench. Therefore, keep in mind that changes are always possible to be made in the incoming future. However, the report that Nokia D1C turns out to be a tablet is quite a surprise for everyone. Until we have the official from Nokia, just keep an open mind and stay tuned. (Source)

For a while now, different sources have been reporting towards Nokia comeback happening in the near future. And just earlier today, Nokia confirms their participation in MWC 2017, hinting the release….

Nokia confirms MWC 2017

Specifically, netizens have spotted on Nokia Twitter an announcement, that the Operating Director, as well as CEO of Nokia, Rajeev Suri will have a speech at Mobile World Congress in 2017. As of every other year, such expecting congress will take place from February 27 to March 2, 2017. This post seems to be the first official notification from Nokia to their fans around the world after many revelations, reports and predictions from different sources.

Such announcement published on the company’s official Twitter account is believed as a leverage to boost everyone’s confidence that Nokia confirms their comeback. Mysterious as they try to stay, many are believing that Nokia’s attendance in the Barcelona electronics trade fair is the hint that they are ready to get back to the game. And things just get more and more exciting, with the anticipation to “meet” a reborn legend, after more than 2 years absent on the ever-growing smartphone market.

In case you need a quick catch-up, there have been quite a few Nokia Android phones reported to be produced. Specifically, we have the “fantastic 4” in the series of “1” smartphones – namely Nokia A1, Nokia P1, Nokia C1 and Nokia E1. And the latest one – Nokia D1C has just been introduced on both Geekbench and AnTuTu last week.

Nokia confirms MWC 2017 – behold the legend

The fact that Nokia confirms their participation in MWC 2017 has sparked fiercely controversial discussions from many fans all around the world. Some said that we shouldn’t jump to any conclusion because they just confirmed their participation in Mobile World Congress. However, for people who are always on a knife-edge like we all, waiting for Nokia comeback ever since so long ago, this is obviously more than a good evidence to lean on.
