The Nokia brand has been missing in action for the past couple of months. The company is expected to return to the market in 2017 under a new management of a Finnish company, HMD Global.

HMD Global acquired the rights to use the brand name Nokia and plans to launch mid-range smartphone models next year powered by the Android operating system.
