At least two new HMD-branded smartphones are on schedule to launch in July alongside a Barbie-themed flip feature phone focused entirely on “digital detox.” The brand also tried to pacify long-time fans by reiterating that it will continue to make and sell Nokia phones and teased the return of an iconic Nokia device in May, which going by what little was shared on stage, appears to be yet another feature phone remake.
