Nokia, or Nokia Corporation in full, is a Finnish multinational active in the technology sector. The area in which it played an absolute leading role was telephony, establishing itself as a leader between the end of the 1990s and the early 2000s.
The company was founded in 1865 in the town from which it takes its name and initially produced paper and wood. Subsequently in the 1920s the conversion into an industry for telephone and telegraph cables, until the 1970s when the commitment to telecommunications was strengthened.
From there the first personal computers, televisions and above all telephones. In 1992 the production of mobile phones began, an excellent product of the brand which will repeatedly establish itself as the leading manufacturer in the world in terms of sales and success.
And it was in the nineties that mobile phones such as the Nokia 3210, 3310 and 3330 carried the Nokia name high up in the air, with a prestige in innovation that would last for almost ten years. In fact, since 2004 the company began to lose its primacy with the growing competition. With the arrival of smartphones, the crisis was even more evident, so much so that in 2013 the group sold the leading technological sector, and therefore smartphones, to Microsoft, whose Windows) operating system was already used Phone.
Nokia took the name back in 2016 with the end of Microsoft’s exclusivity contract, but the sector has now gone too far. On 9 January 2017, the Finnish company HMD Global purchased the exclusive rights to use the brand on mobile devices for the next ten years, and relaunched the Nokia brand in the smartphone market by presenting the Nokia 6, the first Nokia with Android 7.0 operating system.
