I’m thrilled to announce that today Human Mobile Devices (HMD) has officially become the exclusive Global Partner of FC Barcelona! As the Official Mobile Phone and Smart Phone Partner of this iconic club, we're embarking on a multi-year journey that goes beyond just a partnership. Together, we're committed to innovation, sustainability, and making a positive impact on people's lives. From brand exposure at match days to engaging with FC Barcelona’s incredible global fanbase, this collaboration offers amazing opportunities for us at HMD. And we’ve kicked it off in a unique way – with a fan-led logo reveal video featuring the new HMD Skyline in Blue Topaz. You won’t want to miss it! https://lnkd.in/dqVRS3JV The partnership between the two brands includes both the men and women’s teams and extends beyond football as it will cover the FC Barcelona basketball, futsal, handball and roller hockey teams too. We're proud to stand alongside a club that shares our values and vision for the future. A big thank you to everyone at HMD and at FC Barcelona for your dedication and hard work to date. This is just the beginning of an incredible journey together. #HumanMobileDevices, #HMD, #BarcaxHMD, #FCBarcelonaxHMD, #HMDSkyline, #FCB, #Sustainability Lars Silberbauer, Cathy Toft, Emma McDonnell, Alain Lejeune, Sanmeet Singh Kochhar, Ravi Kunwar, James Robinson, KC Chang, Lisa Higgins, Haris Munif, Maureen Kambona, Tathagat Jena, Jackie Kates, Naufel Dekli, Anssi Rönnemaa, Jari Koljonen

Félicitations Jean François !

Hmd is the biggest SCAM you would experience. It's not nokia anymore.. After the experience i had after buying nokia 130 music.. I had microphone issues after requesting multiple times they somehow picked up my device because hmd does not provide the facility to visit service center for simple phone and now it's been 2.5 months of irritating mails and calls but the answers is the same we are working please wait... Does it take 2.5 months to get back to the customer with the issue? And mine is still not resolved unfortunately maybe I lost some of my hard earned money.
