HMD / Nokia

HMD is the Finnish company that makes Nokia-branded phones and, increasingly, its own HMD-branded range, from Espoo, the home of Nokia itself. It has built a reputation on durable, affordable Android hardware and, more recently, on repairability, partnering with iFixit to sell parts and guides so common repairs can be done at home.

The lineup spans budget Android smartphones, rugged models, and famously reliable feature phones for people who want a simpler device. Newer handsets emphasize long-term support and self-repair, a deliberate counter to the sealed, disposable flagship. Standard Android keeps the software familiar for anyone leaving a Pixel.

Key features:

• Nokia and HMD hardware built by the Finnish successor to Nokia phones
• iFixit repair partnership with official parts and step-by-step guides
• Durable, affordable Android devices across budget and rugged ranges
• Feature phones for buyers who want a deliberately simple device
• Clean Android with predictable updates and no heavy skin
• European headquarters and support based in Finland

HMD is operated by HMD Global Oy, headquartered in Espoo, Finland, holding the licence for Nokia-branded phones while growing its own brand. It carries the Nokia engineering heritage under fully European ownership.

Ideal for buyers who want dependable, repairable Android hardware from a Finnish company rather than a Google Pixel.
