HMD rumored to launch at least six different phones, codenames revealed

It is no longer surprising that the Finnish company HMD will start releasing its own branded phones this year. Although no release date has been disclosed yet, we expect the first HMD smartphones to appear as early as next month, when MWC 2024 is scheduled to kick off.

The first photo of an HMD-branded phone with model number N159V was leaked last week, and according to Evan Blass, at least one US carrier will offer the phone, Verizon.

Recently, Evan came back with even more details about HMD smartphone plans. Apparently, the Finnish phone brand is working to release at least six different HMD-branded smartphones in the not-so-distant future.

Nothing is known about the phone yet, except that they are known by these code names: Pulse, Legend, Pulse+, Legend Plus, Pulse ProAnd Legend Pro. It's unclear whether all or just some of these phones will launch in the US, so February can't come soon enough.

For several years, HMD Global has been considering abandoning the Nokia brand in order to diversify its offering. It seems that 2024 will be the year when the Finnish company launches its own brand products on the market.

Hopefully, they'll be just as reliable and affordable as the Nokia-branded phones we know and love. HMD surely doesn't lack the experience to make this a success story considering it has been manufacturing Nokia phones for almost seven years.
