Microsoft Wants to Buy Nokia Again

According to the mobile analyst firm, Microsoft wants to buy Nokia again. Will Microsoft buy Nokia, Windows Phone coming back?

According to a leading mobile analyst firm, Microsoft has again begun attempts to buy Nokia . With Huawei being banned in the US, Microsoft seems to be interested in Nokia again .

As you may remember, Microsoft and Nokia had a not-so-brilliant partnership. In 2013, Microsoft bought Windows Phone, which will be an alternative to iPhone and Android systems, and Nokia's mobile phone arm for over 7 billion dollars. In 2015, Nokia assets were deleted, causing thousands of job losses.

Will Microsoft buy Nokia again?

CCS Insight's predictions for 2021 include the claim that Nokia will be acquired by a major US tech company next year, and that both Microsoft and Intel are interested as prospective buyers. The future of Nokia, which produces Android models and returns to the market with the support of the Chinese company HMD Global, is uncertain.

In addition, the phone market is not the only reason US companies are interested in Nokia. Because Chinese suppliers like Huawei prohibit the use of equipment, US companies need to find a different source for 5G operators. Winning the UK's 5G tender a few weeks ago , Nokia certainly manages to attract the attention of Microsoft and Intel.

According to Kester Mann, consumer and connectivity director of CCS Insight, Nokia seems vulnerable to any purchase offer. This is enough to say that the Finnish manufacturer can buy it again by Microsoft.

Mann also said in a statement that he found it reasonable to buy Nokia in response to Chinese suppliers: “ It is clear that US companies are  looking for alternatives to Huawei, and there is a lot of concern about it. Potentially this could be the opportunity for Nokia. "
