They are aiming at 5G network markets. Everything else is secondary.
You can see all their consumer products just as a way to ensure that there are products that push 5G to the max in terms of low consumption/latency/bandwidth in the next 5-10 years. Milking and maintaining the strong consumer brand is extra.
Successors of Ozo camera will the bandwidth hog in 5G.
Withings products are the platform they will use to push factor 10 reduction in energy consumption and “sleep modes” for always on network devices that are part of 5G.
Their new deal with HMD Global / Foxconn means that others take the risk and Nokia brand stays relevant in smartphone market. They still own the brand but they don't but significant money into it.
