The CES 2020 is over and we are inching closer to the MWC 2020, which is all set to be hosted in Barcelona in late February.

This year, it looks like HMD Global will line up three new smartphones and unveil the Nokia Original series phone at the MWC 2020. Previously, the latter was speculated to be announced on January 25.
