A Nokia executive has revealed that the Finnish company will soon return to the smartphone market in 2016.

Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri has revealed to German publication, Manager Magazin, that the company intends to return to the smartphone business. However, Nokia will not produce the handset themselves but instead would focus on designing and licensing which the company has done before when they partnered and licensed its brand to Foxconn for the Nokia N1 Android tablet.

“We will look for suitable partners,” says Suri. “Microsoft makes mobile phones. We would simply design them and then make the brand name available to license.”

Under an agreement with Microsoft, Nokia is not allowed to use its brand on phones until Q4 of 2016.

Nokia Philippines recently unveiled the latest addition to their Asha Touch family of smartphones. The Nokia Asha 310 features a 3” scratch-proof, capacitive touchscreen and is available in the following colors: black, white and golden light.

The Dual SIM feature of this phone allows users to switch between SIMs easily. Its Wi-Fi capability, on the other hand, gives internet connectivity wherever it’s available. What makes the Asha 310 a must-have as an entry level smartphone, it already comes preloaded with the following: Nokia Xpress Browser, YouTube video streaming, a gift pack containing 40 free premium game titles, Nokia Maps, eBuddy instant messaging, and apps for the top social networks – Twitter & Facebook.

The phone also comes with a 2 megapixel camera and a free 4GB memory card, with support for a
further 32GB of external memory.

In the words of KarelHolub, General Manager of Nokia Philippines: ” All these are for the end-
user and part of Nokia’s innovative and strategic approach in transitioning consumers from
feature phones to next-generation smartphones.”

At a suggested retail price of only P4,650, the transition will hardly be felt in the pocket indeed.
