A company set up by former Nokia employees called HMD Global has licensed the Nokia brand name from Microsoft, struck partnerships with device manufacturer Foxconn and intends to launch an Android smartphone in the early part of 2017.
The head of HMD Global, Arto Nummela, said: "Consumers may be carrying different smartphones now, but are they really in love and loyal to those brands?"
HMD Global will be looking to stir nostalgia in an effort to challenge the big and small players of the highly competitive smartphone market, dominated by Samsung and Apple, as well as Chinese brands such as Huawei.

No. Area 51 is a cover for the real location:
Area 52.
The reason no one has ever seen Area 52 is because it is carefully concealed by a Somebody Else's Problem field. Though, if you work in IT long enough, you can develop your own SEP, and it might be possible to detect Area 52.
