Nokia

Nokia is one smartphone company that has a long history and a name to live up to. However, it all started as a mere idea in 2002 and since then the company had quite a ride, in regards to its smartphones and obviously the global popularity. Although, things started getting tough after 2010, the company still launched a few gadgets in its quest to challenge some of the other big names in the industry.

While Nokia couldn’t survive the market competition back then, it has finally reappeared under the tag of HMD Global— catering to the global populace with some extraordinary devices. However, in this discussion we wouldn’t talk about the new devices but concentrate on the much celebrated history of this OEM by mentioning some of its most innovative and relevant mobile phones.

 

Nokia 7650

It was launched way back in 2002, precisely with a 0.3MP or rather VGA shooter. While the sensor output was showcased at a mere 640×480 pixels, even this count was quite exemplary for a mobile phone, 16 years back. When this device was launched, a majority of customers couldn’t even believe how a mobile phone could produce color imaging results of this quality.
