HMD does not have new device unveilings during MWC 2024 but it teased the audiences with glimpses into its future releases…along with a Barbie-themed flip phone
Firstly, a promising collaboration with Mattel for a Barbie-themed flip phone is set to debut in July. While details about this delightful device remain few, the promise of a “retro feature phone” ensures an intriguing twist, steering clear of the foldable display trend.
In addition to the Barbie venture, HMD addressed the recent buzz about distancing from the Nokia brand. Despite initial reports, the MWC 2024 press release from HMD states, “You’ll continue to see Nokia phones…”. The ambiguity persists, but what’s clear is that the Nokia legacy won’t abruptly end. To add to the suspense, HMD teased the arrival of another Nokia device in May 2024, featuring a pixelated image hinting at a reincarnation of the beloved “candy bar” style – a nostalgic nod.
Furthermore, marking July as a significant month, HMD has promised the release of two HMD-branded smartphones, adding an air of mystery to their features and specifications. As of now, the details remain elusive, but the prospect of what’s to come heightens the anticipation among eager enthusiasts.
