Nokia is one of the biggest icons of the mobile world, despite the fact that its glory has long been eroded by the merciless time. In recent years, the Finnish brand has experienced a very turbulent period, and this has now culminated in the fact that its owner, HMD Global, is closing shop permanently. Nokia smartphones are sweeping the scene and this is the perfect opportunity to reminisce about its most famous devices.
What Microsoft failed to do
Perfected by HMD Global. Of course with a bit of exaggeration. Nokia was already on the precipice (or rather with one foot in the precipice) when it was owned by Microsoft, and it was probably naive to expect that HDM Global, which bought it in 2016, would pull it back to prominence. That didn’t happen, Nokia switched to Android and fared more or less the same way it did under Microsoft with mobile Windows.
The original giant of the mobile world waned, waned and waned until HMD decided to completely stop making phones from this iconic brand. It must be added that Nokia ends only in the world of smart phones, and stupid, push-button mobiles with its logo will continue to exist. Anyway, let’s recall the five most famous Nokia mobile phones.
5 unforgettable phones from Nokia
Nokia N95
Iconic communicator Nokia N95 it was among the best phones of its time and is generally considered one of the best phones in its category. In its time, it captivated with its slide-out construction, large and high-quality display, high performance and top-notch camera with the Zeiss logo, which could shoot videos at 30 frames per second. An unprecedented device at the time.

Nokia N8
This model already falls into the category of typical smartphones with a large touch screen, and although the Nokia N8 may have lagged behind the competition in some aspects, it caught up with the camera. It was not equipped with a weak LED flash, but a powerful xenon flash, like in real cameras, and you could tell. A deserved legend.

Nokia N9
A mobile that looked like a successor to the previous N8 model, but it wasn’t like that at all. The Nokia N9 was one of the first phones to offer a unibody construction made of polycarbonate, and it also offered an absolutely stunning design. To this day, it is one of the most stylish phones of all time, and also the only device that ran on the MeeGo operating system. But he also broke his neck.

Nokia 808 PureView
The successor to the already mentioned N8 model was the famous Nokia 808 PureView, which once again stood out with a camera with a xenon flash. This phone arrived in 2012, at the end of the Symbian system and at a time when the Finnish legend was already switching to Windows Phone. In its time, it was the best photomobile on the market and in this respect it was not threatened even by the biggest Android competitors.

Nokia Lumia 920
Even though Nokia under Microsoft’s wing and with Windows Phone under the hood didn’t do very well, the Lumia 920 was great and it was probably the best phone this slightly controversial system got. It combined premium processing with a unibody construction, a top-notch display, offered high performance, and was once again a great photomobile. All this, moreover, wrapped in an iconic design.

What a phone, it’s a classic
Of course, there were more legendary phones of the Nokia brand, and it was true that at the peak of popularity, this brand churned out one famous phone after another. After entering under HMD, Nokia focused more on the middle class in the field of smartphones and did not offer many flagship models. Perhaps only the Nokia 9 PureView with five cameras arranged in a circle stood out from this period.
