  • According to reports, Nokia is planning to re-enter the market with two new smartphones powered by Google's latest Android Nougat.

    The handsets are expected towards the end of 2016 or in early 2017.

    Nokia's past in the smartphone market

    Nokia's past in the smartphone market
  • Before the advent of Apple and Samsung, Nokia was the world's top mobile-maker.

    The decision to choose Windows for their smartphones proved disastrous for Nokia.

    In 2014, Microsoft acquired Nokia for $7.2 billion. Microsoft wrote-off $7.6 billion last year and cut 7,800 jobs to refocus its phone-efforts.

    Microsoft announced the Nokia-Foxconn deal in May 2016, through which Foxconn will manufacture Nokia's android smartphones.
