chrwl007, 29 Mar 2017So's an iPhone... what's your point exactly?He does not know that actually 90% from the smartphones are Chinese, if not all. We all have to thank samesung and peaches for cheap Chinese labor. Oh, let's not forget we actually have to thank the mass, like him, who rather pays 1000 euro for a Chinese device (100€ monthly payed worker) then to buy a 500 euro device (2000 to 3000 € monthly paid worker in Europe). Funny, this are the ones that still dare to scream: Chinese!!!

    Awesome thats what we need nokia launch your flagship asap waiting

      I'm actually more excited with what Nokia will launch as a flagship than the new Galaxy S8 or LG G6. I think I've gone mad!!!!

        krystian, 29 Mar 2017I get that screwing things down can help, but don't you als... moreYes the materials in old Nokias can easily absorb and disperse the shock energy. I too love my Lumia 520 which has a plastic cover that covers on all 5 sides and even protrudes slightly over the screen. Whatever direction it falls, the back cover will absorb the shock and flies away. But that's not possible in the metal phones.

            Anonymous, 29 Mar 2017Samsung phones are durable too.I don't think so. Any Samsung phone will lag after few months and will crack after falling from one meter.

                  Great! Say what you want, but it looks like HMD truly is the spiritual successor of Nokia. So far, they haven't put one wrong foot forward!

                            This my friend is the reason why it is expensive despite the specs are underwhelming.
                            I don't think it has to built like a tank though, quite overkill

                                HMD is made of Old Nokia employees , is from finland .. Nokia is also the board member of HMD.. Nokia decides which phones should launch and which don't.. Nokia R and D and IP is used by HMD..
                                Like Nokia 5 has Clear back display .. but they cannot Call it Clear back because MS has the trademark so they just call it Polarised display..

                                So HMD is essentially Nokia ..

                                  What a messy screw locations. They've should redesign the interior So that the screws won't even be placed in the middle where the board or the display is placed.

                                      It's just another phone with non-removable battery. This means it has short lifespan. When the battery lose capacity/swell up, your phone becomes useless. When the battery dies, your phone dies too.

                                      At least Nokia should be unique by offering removable battery.
