Purposefully leaving a lot to the imagination
HMD is all about human innovation. That means making normally expensive digital tools globally accessible and affordable. Whether that’s introducing new payment options to feature phones or adding microfinancing capabilities to smartphones, HMD already has a tradition of human innovation with purpose.
This summer, we are launching a smartphone that is a platform for innovation, making technology more accessible to more communities around the world.
Today, we are releasing the first version toolkit for developers and businesses, which contains design files and information on software integration, that is available now on our website.
We are embracing open innovation, making sure people and businesses can augment their phones to fit their needs. We want to champion many people’s creativity- which is leaps and bounds beyond what we can achieve solo. The potential is endless.
These could be as simple as a case with an extended battery, a bespoke fashion-forward outfit, a payment terminal, barcode scanners, or even portable, connected medical equipment, it really is a blank canvas for creativity.
Multi-brand for the things you expect, and the things you don’t
As Human Mobile Devices, HMD aims to redefine screen time, champion repairability, and forge meaningful partnerships as part of a multi-brand vision. You’ll continue to see Nokia phones and we will bring back an iconic phone this summer. You’ll also see a stellar lineup of exciting new brands coming to you this year.
“In our seven-year journey, collaboration and support has allowed us to achieve so much. And we have plans to do so much more as we introduce the world to the new HMD. We want to be a catalyst for positive and profitable change by embracing a multi-brand strategy: crafting new HMD original devices, creating Nokia phones, and collaborating with well-known global partners.” Jean-Francois Baril, HMD Co-founder, Chairman and CEO
Hi, Barbie!

On that note, HMD is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Mattel and with Barbie, highlighting our joint dedication to shake things up, empower connections, and enable some quiet amidst digital noise and interruptions.
The Barbie Flip Phone will arrive this summer 2024.
Promising style, nostalgia, and a much-needed digital detox, this retro feature phone will flip the script on smartphone culture and will be this summer’s hottest accessory.
