Human Mobile Devices. That’s us. — About us
We make phones that last for years
Our aim is simple: we want to make phones that stick around. No, actually – we want to make phones that you want to stick around. Phones that are tough, fun, secure, fast, and affordable. All of the above. The whole package. The real deal.


We’re HMD, and we make phones. Among other things.
Once upon a time...
...in a faraway land called Finland, we at HMD brought out our first Nokia branded devices: 5 feature phones in 2016 and 6 Android™ smartphones in 2017. We’ve kept the ball rolling in all areas of our device portfolio ever since: reborn classics, first-time smartphones, repairable smartphones, smartphones you can kick around, tablets, smartphones fit for enterprises, and more.
In 2023, we announced the next chapter of our story: HMD-branded phones are coming up. Watch this space.

What we care about
Being human
Phones are about talking, sharing, capturing moments, and having fun – all the things that make us human.
Being honest
We’re honest with ourselves and with others. No hidden agendas, no sweeping things under the rug.
Looking forward
We think ahead in mobile tech. It’s about finding innovative ways that can improve our day.
