Nokia’s Last 2 Smartphones Lose Support by May 2027 as HMD Phases Out Brand

Summary
Nokia’s final supported smartphones are nearing end of life: the G310 5G loses software support on Aug. 24, 2026, and the XR21 on May 24, 2027.
HMD, which licensed the Nokia name for phones in 2016, is dropping the brand in favor of its own HMD-branded lineup, ending Nokia’s remaining presence in smartphones.
Without security and software updates after those dates, both devices may become riskier to use, pushing remaining owners to replace them.
The shift closes a long retreat from handsets after Microsoft bought Nokia’s mobile business in 2013; Nokia now focuses on telecom, networking and connectivity technology.
