Nokia sold 4.4 million smartphones in Q4 2017, more than OnePlus, Google, HTC, Sony, and Lenovo
According to data from research firm Counterpoint, 2017 was a very good year for HMD Global and the Nokia brand. The once-domineering Nokia juggernaut fell from the heavens years ago, but under the helm of HMD Global, the beloved phone brand has managed to sell a whole lot of 4.4 million units in Q4 2017 alone. Doesn't sound particularly exciting when you compare it with the stellar sales of Apple and Samsung, but that's missing the point.
As per Counterpoint's data, in Q4 2017 Nokia sold more phones than most of its rivals, including but not limited to HTC, Sony, Google, Alcatel, Lenovo, OnePlus, Gionee, Meizu, Coolpad, and Asus among all others. These sales have propelled Nokia to owning 15% of the feature phone market and 1% share of the smartphone scene; combined, this gives HMD Global and Nokia a 5% share of the total smartphone market, Counterpoint says, which definitely spells good news for the company.

Thread title is misleading.
This is NOT Nokia ... and in no way has anything to do with Nokia other than licensing the Brand. In contrast at least Blackberry creates the augmented Android OS.
HMD Global made 4.4 million sales.
Let us not forget that Nokia was more than capable BUT Microsoft screwed that all up.

So if Land Rover sells 100,000 Range Rovers should we say Tata sold 100,000 cars?

I feel so yeah. But Tata is a financier ... they may "own" the manufacturing plants but they don't run them per se. That's the difference. Sort of like the Murcielago has an engine design and parts lifted from Audi's R8 yet many components and the block is Lamborghini. So it's branded Lamborghini and called 'essentially an R8 engine' yet it's not. Aston Martin states teh 2019 Vantage Enging (beautiful car) is an AMG engine through and through wtih only the piping and timing changed. I don't believe they call it an Aston Martin V8.
