SWOT analysis of Nokia – Nokia SWOT analysis

January 31, 2019 By Hitesh Bhasin Tagged With: SWOT articles

The SWOT of Nokia discusses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Nokia which is one of the leading mobile handset manufacturer in the industry. Nokia lost a lot of Market share to Samsung since the introduction of Android. Nokia tried to compete with its own Symbian OS but it failed badly.

In 2014, Microsoft purchased Nokia and launched its own Lumia handsets along with select handsets of Nokia phones. However, in May 2016, Microsoft sold its feature phone handsets (including Nokia brand) to Foxconn. Foxconn is relaunching Nokia in 2016. Microsoft will continue with Lumia handsets and Microsoft OS which are in partnership with Acer and Alcatel. Nokia is supposed to relaunch with Android OS.
