Nokia choose China as its pioneer destination for the sale of its comeback product because the Chinese market is huge. Nokia is aware of the fact that there are more than 550 million people in China who use smartphones. The aforementioned figure is almost double the entire population of the United States of America. Thus, for getting the lion’s share of the smartphone users’ pie, HMD is up for battle against the famous local Chinese brands such as Vivo, OPPO, Xiaomi and Huawei.
HMD has even brought the rights to sale Nokia smartphones and tablets from Microsoft in 2016 by signing a deal and paying a whopping sum of $350 million. This was followed by Microsoft buying the Nokia devices as well as its mapping divisions in the year 2013 in a 7.2 billion deal. Needless to say, it’s been some pretty rough few years for Nokia.
