Amid mounting rumours and speculations all over the internet that Nokia has been making plans to rekindle its relationship with an old partner for their new range of smartphones, it turns out that the hunches were indeed true. HMD Global, which now owns Nokia brand, shook hands with Zeiss, one of the leading brands in the optical hardware industry, and announced a budding partnership between the two companies, with long-term development goals aimed at setting new imaging standards in the global smartphone market. In simple words, we will soon see Nokia producing its future Android phones with premium camera hardware.

There is no official word from both companies as to how long this deal will last but going by the fact that Zeiss’ collaboration with Sony on camera optics lasted for more than 20 years, we can safely assume that this deal too will hold its own in the future. Allegedly, Zeiss not only plans to bring its optical hardware to this partnership but also views it as an opportunity to work on the entire camera package for the phones. In addition to this, Zeiss would also be bringing in the sensor, software, and processing algorithms into this new Nokia deal.
This whole arrangement between the two companies might seem familiar to some of you. Well, that’s because Nokia and Zeiss had previously worked together back in the day on phone cameras to be featured in 2005’s Nokia N series. The Zeiss optics was also used in Lumia smartphones featuring a PureView camera setup and this also includes the 41MP Lumia 1020.
