Islamabad, July 13, 2025: HMD Global, the Finnish company behind Nokia-branded phones since 2016, is officially exiting the US smartphone market due to shifting geopolitical and economic conditions.
The company confirmed the move in a statement to Wired, noting that while it will no longer sell devices directly in the United States, it is not shutting down. All existing product warranties and customer support services will remain active, ensuring current customers face no disruption.
Instead of scaling down globally, HMD says it will now focus on more promising growth areas—specifically its Family, Secure, and Micro-financing product lines.
This strategic pivot marks the end of a notable journey for Nokia phones in the US. After Nokia sold its mobile division to Microsoft in 2014, HMD was formed by ex-Nokia executives in 2016 and reacquired the rights to manufacture Nokia-branded devices.
Over the years, HMD launched various Android smartphones and retro-style feature phones, including unique models like the Barbie-themed flip phone and recent HMD-branded devices such as the HMD Fusion and HMD Skyline.
