Samsung Eyes Nokia's Mobile Networks Division

Nokia explores strategic options for its mobile networks business amid declining 5G demand and increased competition.

Nokia's mobile networks assets have drawn preliminary interest from Samsung Electronics.
The division, valued at approximately $10 billion, contributed 44% of Nokia's total revenue last year.
Nokia is considering various scenarios, including a full or partial sale, spin-off, or merger with a rival.
Samsung aims to enhance its radio access networks to compete with larger players like Huawei and Ericsson.
Nokia's shares have risen 33% this year as it seeks to diversify its business beyond traditional telecom equipment.
