Features phones sale declined with introduction of smartphones and Nokia sold its Phones business to Microsoft. But Nokia brand has still the kind of resonance in India, many new phone vendors would die for.

Based on a study by TRA Research, Nokia has has emerged as India’s most trusted brand for 2017 in the mobile phones category. What is even more interesting is that it ranks 14 among the 1000 most trusted brands in India. As per Sachin Bhosle, Research Head, TRA Research:

The report could haven’t arrived at a better time. HMD is soon going to launch Nokia 3310 (2017) and Nokia Android Phones in India. And this report certainly provides HMD with reasons to treat India as one of the most favored destination for new Nokia Phones.
