ayylmaoian, 02 Feb 2018iPhone is also "chinese crapp" :) See what I did there?There’s a different between manufacturing and made iPhone manufacturing in China like Samsung manufacturing some Galaxy’s in China and some in vatinam and few units made in Korea and the reason why the OEM’s doing that due to the cheap labors.

      ZloiYuri, 02 Feb 2018China is not an issue, right. But it's the reason to ask - ... moreChina is indeed have an issue for phone manufacturer and pricing. Why is that so? Because there are plethora of black markets in urban areas of China. Let's say Nokia 8 is priced at SG $770, IND 35000 and China would be ¥ 2.5k and above. But in black markets, it would 10-100 times more than the ordinary price point.

      Iam not saying that Nokia phones are over priced, but it's because of Taxes and GST issue. Got my point right?!!!!!

        We are too much used to Chinese made Elite Brands that quality and durability are forgotten, only name carries sell trademarks. N8 is a failure model why not 9 be instead. Screen size with 600$ is obnoxious!

          ZloiYuri, 02 Feb 2018China is not an issue, right. But it's the reason to ask - ... moreNokia flagships at least here are nowhere near the price of other flag ships. Enjoy your choice. I watch with interest on HTC, Pixel 3 and Nokia.

            ZloiYuri, 02 Feb 2018China is not an issue, right. But it's the reason to ask - ... moreSo tell me what special things does Samdung and crApple offer? Isn't crApple also manufactured by Foxconn? Do you understand brand value? HMD global is doing great job regarding the pricing and specs they offer. What does Samdung midrangers offer? Yet still more costly than Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi and other Chinese s**t. And do these so called chip Chinese brands provide good customer service? Have you ever visited Xiaomi service center and how they behave with you? And Sony also prices higher. Why only Nokia is on the hit list? If you can't afford then don't buy it. Buy some Chinese s**t.

              Fitbri, 02 Feb 2018China is not an issue. I wish people would stop being so sh... moreChina is not an issue, right. But it's the reason to ask - why it's so expensive? There are lot of Chinese brands much better and cheaper, but don't carrying fake brands. Doesn't they worth more sales? Or Chinese in fact HMD global worth less hype? This company do nothing but marketing. Other things do Foxconn. Developing and producing. So why so expensive - once again? There is absolutely no reason. Just because fake branding helps to sell this trash. Ok. Maybe "nokia" is something special? No. Average quality and absolutely standard chinaphones. Best camera? Not at all. Wireless charging, special techs as before? Unique design? Materials like in 920/1020? Where is ceramics buttons, for example? There is nothing to justify price and so loud marketing. HMD global is fabless b-grade oem oriented to uneducated people. That's all. Not because China. Just because unfair.

                China is not an issue. I wish people would stop being so short sighted and bagging on about that as if it was a valid argument in all cases.

                Many pristine companies the world over manufacture there. What matters is the quality of the factory, good governance, good manufacturing practices, adhering to and compliance to strict design licence rules etc.

                To use your argument, you may as well say some of the very best ethical and quality companies in the world that have stellar products are crap just because they manufacture their. How totally ridiculous.

                My company is based in Australia & Canada, but I chose an impeccable factory in China to do our boxes. Like any place for that matter, you must do due diligence in where you select to manufacture your products - simple. HMD have obviously done their homework and chose wisely.

                Nokia by the way in 2017 have produced some of the toughest quality builds of many smartphones. It is a much bigger picture than simply brushing a company with a negative China tone as if that has currency in all quarters.
                Go Nokia/HMD collaboration 2018 - the best is yet to come.

                                  Like all iPhones, Samsungs and so on. Its not as in the old Nokia days with own factories.

                                  But thats a common trend in the mobile industry now.
