HMD is coming to CES 2024
|HMD is going to be present at this year’s CES 2024 venue, which starts on January 9th and lasts until January 12th. Specifically, their US office, HMD America, will be present at CES 2024. Last year, they presented their plan to conquer the US market, offering space for expansion after LG ended their smartphone business.
This year, the Finnish company running the Nokia-branded devices has rented a booth in Murano 3201A, which is the meeting area. This doesn’t suggest that visitors might be able to check new Nokia devices. However, last year, HMD came in a similar arrangement and showcased several US-based devices.
HMD is coming to the US as the largest European manufacturer, offering sustainable and repairable devices, as well as devices ideal for taking a digital detox.
In addition to HMD, HERE and Withings are also going to be present at CES. All of the mentioned companies were part of Nokia in the past or were formed by ex-Nokia folks.
HERE is most known among consumers for their excellent HERE WeGo app and maps inside Mercedes and other European car manufacturers, while Withings offers several health-based devices and great hybrid watches. One of the best is their new ScanWatch Nova, which is a great-looking watch but rather pricey at 599€.
I couldn’t find Nokia there, but there are 8 more days, and some booths are not yet rented.
