      Anonymous, 22 May 2018hey.. which one is cheap clone brand? 1. those that copied... moreLol. On the other league you say?

      How about Apple copying the notch design from Essential PH-1?
      What about wireless charging from Samsung?
      And 5.5 inches display because they only made small screens phone before?
      How about the bezzeless design from sharp/xiaomi?
      Almost forgot the dual camera from other company?

      Who's copying who?

        Androidloveralways, 22 May 2018And I didn't claim Xiaomi is no 4 in Europe. Canalys analys... moreI know why you are burning on Nokia from Inside and why you want to put Nokia down.

        A few months ago when Nokia 7 plus was about to launch in India you guys were all pepped up and expecting it to launch at 20k Inr or lesser.

        But to great vain it launched at 27k which was out of your league hence you started bashing Nokia on every article.

        You started comparing Nokia to 3rd rate Xiaomi and expected both of them to have similar pricing, and invented a conspiracy theory that both are Chinese hence they should be priced the same.

        Its OK don't be hurtful just go and buy Xiaomi they are a brand meant for you , They are cheap and value for money.

Sony design, at least the "new" one , is actually and very clearly the Lumia design, but looks cheapper, that's about it. As for you, as a person. If you do not like sony, i can imagine what kind of person are you. So let me give you an advise. Get a life.

                Why don't you to include Russia in Europe? Most of the population in Russia lives in European part. Why do you want to skip it? Just to satisfy your ego?

                  Merwyn Fernandes, 21 May 2018He believes that Nokia are 4th in Europe Including Russia ,... moreOhh. You are still here, even after getting owned.
                  Please tell me where did I mention russia is a part of eu.
                  I double dare you.

                    New Nokia is a workhorse phone calls above the rest, apple makes sht calls

                      Anonymous, 22 May 2018hey.. which one is cheap clone brand? 1. those that copied... more1st off Apple didn't create the Notch it was Essential that did it , So any company that did it after them is following essential and not apple.

                      Secondly Nokia doesn't copy any designs they all are their own original designs expect X6 which is obviously designed with the view point of sales in mind.

                      How do even compare a brand like Nokia with a brand like Xiaomi and One plus whose phones look like 1 - 1 clones of Apple , Even Huawei for that matter.

                      Xiaomi is in the same league as Umi , Dogee , Oppo ,Vivo , Coolpad , Techno , ZTE etc.

                      And Nokia is closer to Samsung , Apple , Motorola , HTC , LG , Pixel etc.

                        Anonymous, 22 May 2018hey.. which one is cheap clone brand? 1. those that copied... moreWorld Ranking:
                        1. Samsung
                        2. Apple
                        3. Huawei

                        you say Apple and Samsung is on another league? sure they are, but Huawei is with them at the top, lurking to take over Apple's spot at 2nd

                        now, before we start, what do you know about HMD Global, Nokia, and FoxConn? and btw, Oppo, Vivo, LeEco and OnePlus is from one owner.

                          SpiritWolf, 22 May 2018What good does styling do if they are using someones spywar... moreYes and the world was beckoning them to do an Android. Well, you can't satisfy all people all the time. Their just Ramping up and I would be shocked if they had a few nice surprises us the sleeve.

I mean you can directly check linkedin profile of hmd global just by searching at google. I mean nokia 6 looks like what old nokia would have designed and made anyway.

                                ummm... no. this is the first time i enter nokia's (oops.. i mean hmd's) page. i usually "play" at xperia's page.
                                eventhough i dont like xperia, i have to admid sony have done great job to keep theirown design and features, and not following the stoopid notch design.

                                this hmd is just.. well.. following what china brands do. blindly copying apple. is it the "real" nokia? No it is Not. It is just "another kind" of Xiaomi,Oppo,Vivo,etc wearing "Nokia clothes"

                                  1. those that copied bl1ndly what apple did (cough cough.. "notch")
                                  2. those that creatively created theirown design.

                                  hmd's nokia is in the same league as xiaomi, oppo, vivo, huawei, etc.
                                  apple, samsung, sony, htc are in the other league.
