The HMD phones are Zombie Nokia to me.

Wish MS had continued building phones with the old Nokia style.. loved how sleek the Lumia 635 was.. really a shame they didn't say the very least unlock the bootloader

My Nokia 6.1 is still going strong after 4.5 years. Maybe because it was a zombie already when I bought it.

I bought a HMD Nokia XR20 after sticking to Samsung from the original Galaxy S.

It's probably the best phone I've bought in a while because it actually focuses on what I care about: durability and battery life.

And is why I decided to move to pixel

It’s almost as bad as the Verge’s logo.

I agree, that new HP one is pretty good.

For me as native Russian kia’s logo reads definitely in Cyrillic -) КИ which reads ki

Unpopular opinion, I love this logo.

Looks pretty cool to me as well. I feel like people see all new logos as bad until they get used to them. Then the cycle repeats.

Find a great logo in 1975 and settle on it forever? If so, I completely agree. So many great logos lost to meddling marketing dudes.

Tbh that new nokia font kinda cool

johansugarev t1_jajdc7z wrote

I agree but it’s branding 101 that people should be able to read the name of the company. It’s like they know it’s not recognisable so that’s why they’re also keeping the old one.

Statsmakten t1_jalv5mj wrote

I immediately read Nokia but that’s probably because I’m a designer and I’m more accustomed too negative space logos. And therein lies the problem, that if you need prior knowledge to read it then it’s not working as intended. It’s the same issue that Kia faced with their simplified logo (people googled “KN”) and a more recent example is Kate Bush’s new album “Fish People” written in ascii. People thought it was a code to crack when it was perfectly readable for a trained eye.

petepro t1_jaqpez9 wrote

Not really. Everyone talk about KIA, but people cant read Toyota from their logo either. With proper marketing, KN will become KIA.

Honestly they should have rebranded entirely after the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition. It's no secret that what was Alcatel-Lucent is what makes Nokia Networks what it is today.

Nokia Networks was already big in cellular business before AL was bought though

Is the Nokia 7750 SR series the same device as the ALU 7750? I've been thinking of upgrading my home lab from a MikroTik to a 7750 SR 14s.

what's the difference between the two brands?

Artur2SzopyJackson t1_jaj87ia wrote

Nokia sells telecom equipment and software (let’s say all needed for network of telecom company). HDM sells their own phones under brand of Nokia.

Henrarzz t1_jajgdas wrote

Nokia that changed the logo is what remains from the company after phone division was sold to Microsoft years ago. HDM Global was founded from remains of that phone division after Microsoft ditched it.

Nokia has always been an electronics manufacturer, but about a decade ago they realized that their mobile phone division was losing a lot of ground to Apple and Android. They partnered up with Microsoft to create the phones for Microsoft's mobile OS and then sold off the division to Microsoft a few years later. Part of that deal was that Microsoft got to use the Nokia brand made famous by their pre-smartphone devices that were incredibly rugged and reliable while still affordable.

When this happened, you had two different companies using the same company name. Nokia Networks was the main brand and still made lots of equipment like routers, switches, cell tower radios, and optical networking equipment. Nokia Mobile/Nokia Phones was essentially a different company, though as I understand it after Microsoft left the cell phone market Nokia bought the company back but spun it off as its own company also using the Nokia brand.

The shitty phones division is the one using the old logo.

Equipment maker Nokia Networks, the actual Nokia, is the one with the new logo.
