Nokia's return to the mobile market is serious. With still a few months to go until the contract that Nokia signed when selling its mobile division to Microsoft expires, the Finnish company has been hunted by recruiting new employees with experience in programming within the Android operating system. As reported by Reuters, Nokia has launched dozens of job offers on LinkedIn targeting California, some of them specifically focused on the Android operating system.
Taking into account that Nokia itself recently published on its official website announcing its interest in returning to the mobile market, these job offers fit perfectly in what could correspond to a launch of the interface that Nokia plans to incorporate into their mobiles. And it is that, beyond the interface, little or nothing Nokia can intervene in the development of its new smartphones, since practically all its mobile infrastructure has passed into the hands of the American company Microsoft. But, at the same time, that would not be an impediment to its return to the mobile phone market.
And how is that possible? As simple as that, to return to the mobile market, Nokia is aware that it needs to partner with a manufacturer that is responsible for the manufacturing process of its mobile phones. This hypothetical manufacturer must have sufficient infrastructure to manufacture smartphones from Nokia's guidelines, but at the same time, it must also be economical enough that it is profitable for Nokia to partner with it. And which mobile phone manufacturers are those that meet these two premises? The Chinese companies.
Shortly after Nokia announced its desire to return to the mobile market, the Asian company Meizu had the daring idea of ​​distributing an invitation to the presentation of the new Meizu M2 with a surprise inside: a Nokia 1110, just like picked up AndroidHeadlines.com at the time. Predictably, this invitation sent rivers of ink flowing, and it didn't take long for rumors to appear that Meizu and Nokia were working collaboratively to bring a new smartphone to market. It's possible? Yes, is it confirmed? Not yet.
What seems to be clear is that Nokia, if it finally aligns itself with a company to launch its mobiles, will turn to a company of Asian origin. Chinese companies are beginning to devour Xiaomi's market, and it is not unreasonable to think that more than one would be willing to reduce their margins to the minimum possible in order to have the opportunity to stick their heads out of the European market (in this case, to through Nokia- designed mobiles, thus avoiding patent problems that would otherwise lie ahead) In the coming months we hope to know more details about it.
