HMD Global is making the new Nokia devices in Vietnam
When HMD Global bought the Nokia smartphone business from Microsoft, everyone was hopeful for a bright future in front of the brand. In addition to the brand, HMD also bought out the factories that used to make feature phones. But as we see from a Russian source, they still haven’t renamed them and Nokia 150 still is technically manufactured by Microsoft Mobile LLC.
From the images we see that the devices were ready back in late December. According to the certificate that goes along with the package, the factory that manufactured Nokia 150 is Microsoft Mobile (Vietnam) LLC with local Vietnamese address.
The charger is also interesting. It comes branded straight-up with Microsoft logo on the side but is made in the Chinese factory that is currently owned by Foxconn Technology Group.
