      Oh please. As if Nokia in it’s current state for the past decade+ has offered anything in the way of a useful smartphone to the masses.

      Someone was gonna aquire them. That was inevitable.

        What are you talking about?

        This is a completely separate company. The company you are looking for is HMD global which is a generic foxconn phone company which licensed the Nokia name.

        Nokia makes high speed networking hardware like 5G stations and public infrastructure stuff. Completely unrelated which is why Samsung is looking at buying them: because it is a sector where Samsung isn’t dominant.

          You know what, you’re absolutely right and I’m way off.

          Idk why that didn’t click on my head. Nokia has been dead for ages.
