The best Nokia phones you can get your hands on

Combining the smartphone totals and the feature phone totals, HMD Global ends up in sixth place in the mobile industry with a 5% share of the total market. That puts the company just under Oppo, which has 6.8% of the market. For some perspective, Oppo was in 4^th place at 8.2% of the market at the end of Q3 2017, so it is the one feeling the Nokia heat the most.

Not too bad for a company that is, on paper anyway, only about a year old.

HMD Global snagged the rights to sell Nokia-branded smartphones in 2016, only months after Microsoft offloaded part of Nokia to a subsidiary of Foxconn. In 2017, the very first Nokia-branded Android device hit shelves, and clearly, momentum is just building and building.

HMD Global promises some surprises at Mobile World Congress 2018, which takes place in a few weeks.
