This new Nokia is actually HMD, a company formed last year in Finland. It is full of old Nokia people, so surely there is a lot of Nokia in HMD. As for the phones, the new Nokia Android phones are being made by Foxconn, the same company that makes the iPhone, and they are going to be sold under the Nokia brand because HMD has taken a licence to do so from Microsoft, which actually still owns the Nokia brand.
