          Also there's now way this device comes even close to Pixel 8 which can be picked at similar price,HMD is good at making budget devices but will need something better to challenge in the premium segment

                  " is still selling the Nokia-branded XR21 for €400"

                  HMD just wants to prove its more premium brand than Nokia.

                              I love the XR21. Such a great durable phone and used it for my adventures in Mexico and Sri Lanka to take into the centoes pools and swimming. It takes everything I put at it.

                              It's such a shame to find they're not upgrading the processor or RAM. I just find with all the apps I have , it can struggle at times.

                              It has eSim support and 3.5mm headphone jack.

                              Please please HMD makes this phone more powerful without adding an OLED screen.

                                At the time i got Redmi note 5 Ai Dual Cam for 170 euro and same specs from HMD was something 330 euro so to have just 1-2 more updates is not worth the 2 phone price just from the brand i have had the most phones from. I am not rich to spend my money without thinking on what i spend it on. These prices never made sense to me as they didnt give anything special for it. For 300 euro i would of got SD845 with Pocophone F1 at the same time. Well few months later then i got the note 5 and then i was not so happy for a while but faced with the reality that i needed a phone so i had no choice to wait. Also it was the start of experiminting on buying a phone from China on entry level as i had some Leagu phone before it what was 90 euro and that made me understand that the quality was good enough to go with a bit more expensive and 170 euro for 3/32GB on that Redmi note 5 ai dual cam was good enough. As it lasted me for 5 years no problems other then being slow from start but as expected on the price range i got it still did it's job well.

                                I dont need to own trash to know what trash is

                                    The Nokia 8 retailed at the MRSP of $550 at launch, and that price is unmatched to date on any flagship with a Snapdragon 8 series chipset at launch, and 3 years of updates when the closest competitors offered 2 years of cumulative updates (Galaxy S8, OnePlus 5, Nubia Z17 and HTC U11). By that metric, the A70 is a mediocre phone with a feeble chipset and a higher starting MRSP ($650 to be precise) in comparison to the SD835 on the Nokia 8. The A70 dropped to roughly $350 or less after it became completely obsolete with the older update policy Samsung offered until the x2 series of phones. Also it's self-explanatory why Nokia featured a 16:9 display, MicroSD slot and a 3.5mm jack for their customers.

                                    Also by your comment, I can understand you've never used a phone from HMD. Nice try on an attempt to convince they're far worse than the mediocre set of slabs released under the Microsoft branding.
