HMD Global, a Finnish company in charge of the Nokia brand is doing quite well since its takeover a couple of years ago. Before its takeover, Nokia was practically running on fumes and heading for the rocks. However, the company is now back on track and it is even taking good care of its mobile phones. Nokia Mobile recently pushed the December update for the Nokia X10, Nokia X20 and Nokia G60 models. The upgrade package size is around 100MB. The update package size of the two X series is less than 100MB, and the update capacity of the Nokia G60 is 101MB.
These updates should apply to all devices globally. The update log shows that this December update mainly introduced Google’s security patches, and did not introduce other optimizations. The changelog recommends that users use Wi-Fi to download updates.

Nokia Mobile will return to the CES 2023 offline exhibition
Nokia Mobile confirmed its return to the CES 2023 offline exhibition. The booth of the Finnish company (actually HMD America Inc.) is located in Suite 35-310 on the 35th floor, though there are no other mobile phone makers on that floor.
Nokia Mobile unveiled some affordable entry-level phones exclusively for the US market at last year’s CES show, some of which, like the G400, heralded major design changes to Nokia’s global product portfolio. It’s unclear if the 2023 model will see similarly radical design changes, but a new successor to the rugged Nokia XR20 could be announced.
The page shows that Nokia Mobile submitted a total of 5 new mobile phones in November this year, but unfortunately, these pages do not show the pictures of the mobile phones. The first one was submitted in early November and the last one was submitted on November 17th. There are still about 2 months before next year’s CES show, and Nokia may announce more new products at the meeting.
