HMD Global is making a significant shift from Nokia branding to its own, with the forthcoming launch of the HMD T21 tablet in Europe. This move signifies a strategic transition for the company, which plans to rebrand existing Nokia devices under its own name.
HMD T21 Specs
The HMD T21 tablet will offer three variants, catering to different connectivity needs: LTE 4/64 GB, LTE 6/128 GB, and Wi-Fi 6/128GB. With prices ranging from €228.90 to €302.90, these variants hint at SIM card support and WiFi connectivity options, making them versatile choices for consumers. The tablet, likely a rebranded Nokia device, boasts a 10.4-inch screen, Unisoc Tiger T612 processor, and 8MP rear and selfie cameras, catering to various usage scenarios. However, for a successful market entry, HMD may need to ensure the tablet offers updated software and a refined user experience.
HMD XR21 Specs
This move is part of a broader strategy by HMD, which also includes the launch of the HMD XR21 rugged phone. The XR21, priced at €457.90, will be HMD’s inaugural 5G phone in Europe, featuring robust specifications such as a Snapdragon 695 chipset, 64MP dual cameras, and IP69 and MIL-STD-810H certification for ruggedness. Alongside the XR21, the T21 tablet, available in LTE and Wi-Fi variants, offers consumers options ranging from €228.90 to €302.90. Both devices are slated for an early June release, marking an exciting new chapter for HMD as it establishes its own brand identity in the European market.
