About us

Who is HMD and what do we do?

At Human Mobile Devices, we put people first, using technology to make everyday life easier and to solve real-world challenges through meaningful, human innovation.

We create devices and solutions built for the way people actually live. Our portfolio spans HMD feature phones, affordable smartphones and accessories loved by millions worldwide. We are also proud to be the makers of Nokia feature phones.

HMD is nine years old, has sold over 450 million devices globally, and is the market leader in feature phones. In fact, we're the largest European mobile phone manufacturer. And we believe that when innovation is purposeful, it can change lives at scale.

What we offer

The wide range of HMD phones

Across our portfolio, every device begins with a human perspective: solving a real problem, enriching daily life. And across every category, we design with purpose: to connect families, support children, include more people in the digital world, and equip professionals with secure technology they can trust.

Smartphones

Android™ phones

Looking for the best budget smartphones shouldn’t mean you have to compromise on quality. That was the core philosophy behind our first HMD-branded smartphones, the HMD Pulse family. Since then, we’ve continued to deliver dependable, affordable Android phones at every price point.

Repairable smartphones

We had a vision of a smartphone that could last beyond a broken screen. Nokia G22 was our first repairable smartphone, making on to the Best Innovations list of TIME magazine in 2023. Our partnerships with iFixit and GSMnet continue so that our repairable smartphones can be fixed at home, easily and affordably.

Hybrid innovation continues with devices like the HMD Touch 4G, our first hybrid phone that combines the best of a feature phone with touchscreen convenience. It’s compact and intuitive, making it easy to use its video calling and online features.

Family and children

The Better Phone Project

A phone built to address the problem of screentime-linked anxiety in children – what would that phone look like? That’s the question we put forward to 35,000 parents and kids worldwide. Their input shaped the family range of HMD smartphones, giving guardians the tools to help keep their kids safe.

Smartphones with parental controls

Family devices are designed around the journey children take as they grow. From a child’s first phone such as the Xplora One to the HMD Fusion X1 as they gain independence, our family portfolio is built for safety, simplicity and peace of mind.
