Nokia goes from bad to worse. The historic mobile brand has lost ground to Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple , who have dethroned it in the mobile phone market for more than a decade. And the worst thing is that everything seems to indicate that the manufacturer is already throwing in the towel.
At the end of last year they revealed that their flagship (and their most expensive model to date) would not update to Android 11, despite the fact that at its launch they had guaranteed support until the end of 2022 for the Nokia 9 PureView. In addition, earlier this year they confirmed that they will no longer launch high-end phones.
Was there another icing on the cake? Yes, now the brand has lost its main business partner in the design of its mobile cameras . That’s right, Zeiss and Nokia will no longer collaborate and we’ll tell you the details of this news right away.
Nokia phones will no longer have Zeiss cameras
Nokia was one of the pioneers in the development of mobile photography. In mid-2005, the manufacturer partnered with one of the most important optical brands in photography to launch a clamshell phone that looked like a camcorder. We refer to the Nokia N90, the first fruit of the relationship between Nokia and Zeiss.
Since then, Nokia and Zeiss have collaborated on the launch of phones that would set the standard in mobile photography , such as the Nokia 8, which in its day had nothing to envy to the iPhone.
Now, unfortunately, the following smartphones that would emerge from this association failed to compete against today’s high-end smartphones. In addition, the optics brand recently started a partnership with Vivo very similar to the one it has with Nokia, so speculation began if this would mean the end of Nokia and Zeiss.
Well, the Nokiamob medium has contacted the Zeiss team and they have managed to confirm this news. The spokesmen of the brand have revealed that at the end of last year they agreed with Nokia to end the commercial relationship . This is a serious blow to the mobile manufacturer, who is left with fewer and fewer attractions when selling their terminals to the market.
And you… Do you think this is the beginning of the end for Nokia?
