Nokia made a comeback into the mobile phone market early last year when it launched a series of smartphones under it's new parent company HMD. The devices ranges from entry level smarphones like the Nokia 2 to high end phones like the Nokia 8 and even a feature phone which is the modern version of the legendary Nokia 3310.

2017 was a very good year for HMD Global and the Nokia brand as data from research firm Counterpoint, shows that the company was able to sell 4.4 million smartphone units in just Q4 of 2017 alone. Even though this might not be overwhelming compared to similar sales record of brands like Samsung and Apple, this data however shows that the company had more sales than many brands like HTC, Sony, OnePlus, Gionee, Google, Alcatel, Lenovo, Meizu, Coolpad, and Asus.

This new figure puts Nokia at the 11th position in the list of companies with highest smartphone market share with 1% current share. Nokia also holds 15% of the feature phone market with 20.7 million, making it No 1 feature phone brand globally. Combination of both gives HMD Global and Nokia a 5% share of the total smartphone market and this puts Nokia in the 6th position of overall sales globally.

This is good news for the new Nokia which is just barely a year old. Nokia already launched it's first smarphone for this year which is the 2018 version of the Nokia 6. The Nokia 1, Nokia 7 Plus and LTE version of the 3310 are next on the list.

Reediano:



Must you go there.... ....

Currently using the Nokia 2.

Specs may not be impressive on paper but it's more than worth the price. 1GB RAM but I don't know what lag means. It's that good. The battery is just gangsta. Display be super duper. Everything about the phone is lit. Considering it's Nokia's definition of "entry level"

Would hopefully upgrade to the Nokia 6.

Reediano:


Nokia's Android OS is almost stock so less bloatwares and smooth experience....

Also quicker updates....

HeyCorleone:



Correct. It's actually 100% stock. promised upgrade to Oreo 8.1.

Honestly I don't know why people have issues with stock android. The experience is just wow.

wristbangle:
Currently using Nokia 5 and here is my analysis

Battery longevity 8/10

Cam quality 6/10

Graphics 7/10

Phone features (RAM, ROM) 7/10

Network connectivity (LTE, HSPA) 9/10

It would be an insult to compare it to chinco phones like techno, infinix, etc.

Jaculze:
Hmmmmm.... They must have sold many but not more that TECNO oo, those people can sell for Africa

I use Nokia 6 and I can tell you the phone is beast. I have upgraded my OS to Android 8.0 Oreo. Comparing this brand with Tecno is just a great insult.

Victorakats:


Please tell me more about Nokia 6.... This sounds quite impressive though.

You don't know what lag means isn't proof that it doesn't lag. Bring it let me put my Instagram account on it first

HeyCorleone:



Instagramming and YouTubing right now my mans. I'm taking full on social media with downloads going on right now. No ish whatsoever.

Been using phones for years to understand even the slightest of lags.

This phone is in no way a beast, but it over performs.

henry007:


I use an iPhone X that is 10 times as powerful but it lags every now and then while using instagram so i don't know what you're implying by this "over performance"

HeyCorleone:



The last sentence. My point exactly.

Even my small Nokia 2 doesn't give issues. The specs might be poor on paper, but I've not complained of a thing since I bought it.

ebony111:
