BARCELONA/HELSINKI: Seeking to capitalise on their comeback over the past year, the makers of Nokia phones are expanding to include a premium Android smartphone, their first, and a remake of one of its biggest hits of the 1990s, the 8110 "slider" phone.
Set up by ex-Nokia executives who have licensed the famous brand, HMD Global – as the year-old company is known – has focused on mid-priced Androids and even sub-US$100 (RM391)-priced phones since entering the smartphone market.
