New Nokia Smartphones and Tablets to be launched Late in 2016: Company Executive

The Nokia comeback rumors started last year, but this time around this is not a rumor, they have been top level managerial changes, and trust me nokia is coming back before Christmas, perhaps a perfect Christmas gift for your grandpa. Hell no just kidding. The new Nokia phones should pose as a potent competition to Samsung, HTC, et al. So you can as well get it for yourself and your maybe still your grandparents, I'm sure they'll be familiar with the Nokia Brand.

The resurrection of the Nokia brand may happen in the fourth quarter of this year, which could make for some really nostalgic holiday gifts. According to Chinese site ThePaper (in Chinese), Nokia executive Mike Wang confirmed that three or four Nokia-branded Android devices are on the way for the fourth quarter of 2016. The comeback effort would include both phones and tablets. There is a chance, however, that the timeline could get pushed back depending upon how things progress. It wouldn't be a terrible shocker considering we're talking about a new company, HMD. It's composed of former employees from Microsoft, the old Nokia, and others who are banding together to resurrect the once-iconic brand. The best rumor we have is that the phones will have 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch Quad HD, OLED displays, a Snapdragon 820 SOC, 22.6MP back camera, and a metal build with water and dust resistance. No word on what a tablet would look like.
