This partnership could signal HMD’s intention to broaden its market reach, particularly in the US.
Adding to the excitement, Evan Blass has shared further insights, suggesting that HMD is not just stopping at one model.
The Finnish handset maker is reportedly working on at least six different HMD-branded smartphones.

However, it remains to be seen which of these models will be available in the US market or indee the Indian market.
For several years, HMD Global has been contemplating a shift away from the Nokia brand to carve out its unique niche.
