Nokia phones are clearly not as popular as in the past, when they were still big names and stuck in the minds of many people. But it turns out that this legendary phone is still showing its fangs. Like what?
Currently, the Nokia brand is held by a company called HMD Global, under a license from Nokia, which prioritizes the telecommunications infrastructure business. Those who circulate and sell it.
When viewed from the side of smartphone sales, Nokia phones are indeed quite far behind other brands. Research from IDC for the fourth quarter of 2021 shows that Nokia smartphones sold 3.2 million units.
The number is quite a lot, but only able to put Nokia as the 14th largest producer in the world, up from 16th position in the previous quarter. That is, Nokia smartphones from the sales side are nothing compared to Samsung, iPhone, Oppo or Xiaomi which are in the top position.
However, it is different with feature phones, the term for cheap phones similar to classic phones such as the 3310. In this business, Nokia is still powerful as the second largest manufacturer in the world, only losing to iTel Mobile from China.
As quoted from Nokiamob, IDC said that Nokia shipped 11.2 million feature phones in the fourth quarter of 2021. This means that in total, the combined sales of Nokia's feature phones and smartphones stood at 14.4 million units.
It is clear that now Nokia is no longer the king of the world's mobile phones, which is able to sell hundreds of millions of units and its products are always in demand and become the subject of discussion. But at least they still exist and are quite in demand by their fans.
