Nokia

On this page, you’ll learn about Nokia, including its history, products, and useful specs for some discontinued Nokia phones.

Nokia is a famous Finnish multinational corporation that has been around for over 150 years. It was originally founded as a paper mill in 1865. Over time, Nokia has diversified into various industries.

It dominated the phone market during the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, due to factors such as poor management decisions and a failure to adapt to the rapid rise of smartphones like the iPhone, Nokia’s market leadership was overtaken by other phone vendors.

Today, Nokia focuses primarily on network infrastructure, technology solutions, and licensing its brand for consumer products.

• Telecommunication equipment, such as 5G network infrastructure, wireless and fixed-line broadband solutions, and cloud services and IoT connectivity
• Network software and solutions for operators
• Digital health products (e.g., smartwatches, fitness trackers)
• Private wireless networks and enterprise IoT solutions

Nokia was founded in 1865 as a pulp mill in Tampere, Finland, by Fredrik Idestam. Over time, it transitioned into telecommunications and technology.

Nokia 9000 Communicator is the first smartphone created by Nokia, and it was released in 1996.

Nokia no longer directly manufactures phones. In 2014, it sold its mobile phone business, along with the rights to use the Nokia brand for mobile phones, to Microsoft. However, the Nokia brand re-entered the mobile and smartphone market in 2016 through a licensing agreement with HMD Global. They still make Nokia phones.

The media types supported by Nokia phones vary depending on the model and operating system. For new Nokia phones made by HMD Global, they support:

🎶 Audio Formats: MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, FLAC, OGG, WAV, MIDI, PCM

🎥 Video Formats: MP4, H.264, H.265/HEVC, MKV, 3GP, AVI, WebM

🖼️ Image Formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF (including animated GIFs), BMP, WEBP

While for older Nokia Feature Phones (e.g. Series 30+, Series 40, Symbian, etc.), MP4, 3GP, WMV, AVI, AU, MP3, WMA, BMP, and JPEG are recommended.

If you have a Nokia Phone legacy and want to play modern files on it, playback failures often arise due to the lack of format and codec support. The good news is that you can easily fix it by converting these unrecognizable files to a Nokia-friendly format.
