HMD Global has been manufacturing Nokia phones since 2016, steering them into a new era focused on human-centric mobile devices. While not yet fully unveiled in the Kenyan market, HMD’s vision for the future hints at a transformative landscape where smartphones serve as indispensable tools, addressing challenges like electronic waste and digital exhaustion while enhancing accessibility and affordability.

Nokia phones, once everywhere across Kenya and the globe, have retained their status as the gold standard for quality and affordability. This brand, woven into the fabric of our digital lives, stands as a testament to what a good phone should embody. It gives a sense of belonging and ownership.

In Kenya, Nokia phones made by HMD, remain supreme for their remarkable quality and reasonable prices. Their dominance in the market, which can be attributed to their affordability and quality, remains undisputed, with competitors making waves but failing to dethrone the brand. And the wave has just started with the new plan outlined by the brand. With new partnerships and exciting new gadgets on the way.

Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, Vice President of the AMEA region at HMD Global, encapsulates this vision, emphasizing their commitment to creating not just devices but a future where technology is accessible to all, environmentally responsible, and built on principles of repairability and longevity.

The company’s dedication to innovation is palpable through its recent transformation endeavors, defying market norms and achieving notable operational profitability amidst economic adversities. With a renewed leadership approach, strategic focus, and a relentless drive for cost-efficiency, HMD Global is redefining success in the mobile industry landscape.

At the core of HMD’s ethos lies a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and inclusivity. The pressing issue of electronic waste is tackled head-on through visually appealing, eco-conscious, and budget-friendly phone designs. Their repair-at-home initiative empowers users to resolve device issues independently, reducing the reliance on expensive repairs or premature replacements.

Taking repairability to new heights, HMD introduces innovative solutions to simplify screen repairs, thus cutting down on professional interventions. This not only saves time and money but also aligns with the burgeoning “Fix it Yourself” movement, empowering users to reclaim control over their devices.

However, HMD’s ambitions extend beyond sustainability to embrace inclusivity and accessibility on a global scale. By making digital tools more affordable and accessible, the company is democratizing technology and fueling human creativity and innovation. Their upcoming smartphone platform promises to ignite creativity, offering developers and businesses a versatile toolkit for customization and integration, unlocking endless possibilities.

Moreover, HMD’s multi-brand strategy ensures a diverse range of products and experiences for consumers. While Nokia remains a cornerstone of its offerings, HMD is forging exciting new partnerships and introducing fresh brands, injecting the market with great perspectives and innovations.

In essence, HMD Global’s journey embodies resilience, innovation, and a profound commitment to shaping a future where technology serves humanity responsibly and inclusively. As Nokia phones continue to resonate with consumers globally, HMD’s unwavering dedication to sustainability, repairability, and accessibility paves the way for a brighter, more connected tomorrow.
