Nokia

​The first fully-fledged Nokia phone in a few years is about to land, and the fact that the company has skipped 7 to call the new model the Nokia 8 implies it doesn’t want to sound like it’s a generation behind its competitors. So just how well does it stack up against the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+?

Nokia is making a comeback under its new owners, but the former king of mobile phones will has a lot of ground to make up if it wants to reclaim that crown. Here, we put the new flagship Nokia 8 up against the iPhone 7.

The Nokia brand is back, under the watchful eye of Finnish firm HMD Global, and the "new" Nokia just got its first flagship phone: the Android-powered Nokia 8. Fitted with high-end components, a premium camera and a 5.3-inch OLED display, it could have enough to take on the market's biggest players.

As if having the Nokia brand back wasn't enough of a nostalgia hit for mobile lovers, new owners HMD Global have also brought back one of the most beloved phones of the past: the Nokia 3310. New Atlas got some hands-on time with it at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The Nokia 3310 was chunky and primitive, but it sure could take a beating, and the only thing that lasts longer than its battery is its legacy. Further proving that it's impossible to kill, HMD Global has unveiled how it plans to bring back the candybar phone, with some minor modern concessions.

​The Nokia 3310 – one of the most popular cell phones in the world just after the turn of the millennium – is having a surprising resurgence in popularity, amidst reliable rumors that Nokia will re-introduce a modernized version of the phone at the Mobile World Congress later this month.

Once upon a time, Nokia ruled the mobile phone universe. Times have changed, but the Nokia name is back on a new Android phone simply called the Nokia 6, which won't actually be made by Nokia, nor by Microsoft, which you may remember purchased Nokia's mobile phone business a few years ago.

The Nokia name is coming back, thanks to a new license agreement that allows Finnish company HMD to sell phones using the name over the next 10 years​. Windows Phone is gone, with Android arriving in its place.

For any of the VR headsets coming to market to succeed, there needs to be VR content to immerse ourselves in. Nokia is hoping to fill this burgeoning need with Ozo, the world's first commercially available VR camera aimed at content creation professionals.

Microsoft’s latest handset, known as the Nokia 215, takes the company’s focus on low-end handsets to the next level. The device is designed primarily for first-time mobile phone owners, offering basic functionality alongside a low-cost means of accessing the internet.

While Nokia may have relinquished its hold on the Lumia brand, it’s not finished making hardware just yet. The company has never been famous for its tablets, but the N1 looks to be a solid offering, with a sharp 7.9-inch panel, 64-bit processor and the latest version of Android.

While it’s relatively easy to keep track of key high-end smartphone releases, things get a little more complicated when it comes to low-end handsets. Read on as Gizmag takes a look at five of the best budget handsets you can buy in 2014.
