Nokia, a Finnish company that had a glorious era of mobile phones and
features and has ruled the world with some ground breaking phones under
its belt. The company died due its own arrogance by not moving to
Android at the right time. Nokia stayed behind with its Symbian
operating system and later went on to use Windows.
Learning on the lessons of the yesteryear, Nokia is slowly but surely
staging a comeback with its new line of phones, hoping to cash in on
nostalgia and its brand name.
Recently, at Mobile World Congress (MWC), Nokia has launched 3
smartphones, with which they are hoping to grab the market once again –
Nokia 3,
Nokia 5, and
Nokia 6.
