Nokia plans to design and license phones sometime in the future, according to Rajeev Suri, the company’s CEO in an interview withManager Magazin.
While the devices may carry Nokia’s aesthetics, the company would look for interested partners to release the devices when the time comes. “We will look for suitable partners,” said Suri. “We would simply design them and then make the brand name available to license.”
Recall that Nokia sold its devices and services business to Microsoft last year, but when a deal with Microsoft allows it to do so in 2016, it can begin to license mobile gadgets to other companies from next year.
