Nokia was one of the best companies in the market. It had headsets with internal antennas and customizable looks, with melodies as a ringtone with built-in games. They were thoughtfully designed quality products with Hulk-level toughness. But, when iPhone and Android phones started revolutionizing the cell phone industry, Nokia was struggling to find a solid alternative when Microsoft bought what was left of Nokia and sold phones under as Lumia model.

According to Phone Arena, Nokia phones will be announced within next year's first half. These phones will be Nokia-branded smartphones of a new generation. Manufacturing will be handled by the Taiwanese Foxconn, the same company that Apple hires to make iPhones. New Nokia phones will run on Android. There is a rumor the phone will be called Nokia D1C, but this is still not confirmed. D1C could be a codename for the whole project or a particular prototype in HMD's labs. It is believed that it will run a largely bloat-free, near-stock version of Android. Rumors are it will have Snapdragon 820 and Carl Zeiss-branded camera.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Salo, Finnish city can spring from talent and facilities from behind by onetime cellphone giant. In less than a week, Nuviz executives found and hired 20 engineers in Salo, Finland. The team recently finished developing a fully functional display prototype taking less than six months.

According to The Verge, Nokia's banner in the fight will be carried by a new company HMD global. Nokia promises that it will ensure its high standards for quality and engineering. In 2012, Nokia introduced the most advanced smartphone,Lumia 920 with a touchscreen you can use with your gloves on. It has wireless charging and a PureView camera with optical image stabilization, however, despite its hardware advantages, it failed. Now Nokia is switching to Android. HMD is investing more than $500 million over the next three years to market Nokia devices. It is a big challenge to dive into a sea when there is no space for a new phone company.
