Nokia, a Finnish brand is known to be the best and the most innovative brand in the mobile phone industry. Yes, indeed it was innovative and it still is. Many things, many features were first launched by Nokia and those were then adopted by other companies. In the year 2008, when Android’s first version was launched, Nokia embarked its biggest quarterly loss and in it was difficult for Nokia to survive the tough market of smartphones everywhere with just one OS “Android” everywhere.

After this downfall, which is the worst loss of Nokia in the mobile market, Microsoft partnered with Nokia and their first device as partnership was launched in the year 2011. But though after the partnership, the company hold few profits in the year 2013 but couldn’t compete with the smartphone race, and finally Nokia announced the selling of its device and services division to Microsoft completely (This happened in the year 2013).
