Anonymous, 19 May 2020This is fantastic the already overpriced dated HMD phones w... moreOverpriced? I just bought a Nokia 6.2 for 175 euros. The best device at this price, hack to 300 euros price range, ever, fast, fluod, modern. A great allrounder, so stop bashing this brand for no reason... it is getting boring.

    This is fantastic the already overpriced dated HMD phones will be marketed as the "fastest phones from 2 two years ago" and also as unique pieces of museum (cheap ones manufactured by unknown sources in Asia and China). Of course they will also invent excuse for raise the prices. Never Settle!!!! In prices...

      Yeah cause they did such a good job marketing OnePlus to Europe that's why they've just reduced their staff in UK, Germany and France by 80%...

      Hmd haven't got a clue what they are doing. They've already started losing market share and they've only been going for a couple years.

      The novelty of Nokia being back has warn off and now all they've got are overpriced and underpowered phones no one wants

        They need to poach better engineers, better camera guys, better almost everything on planet Earth.
        I'd keep the design guys though. Nokia phones do look beautiful.

          "HMD poaches the former Head of Marketing for OnePlus in Europe", is it supposed to change anything about the quality of their phones? All it'll do is to cause their phones to be even more expensive

            Once again: HMD is not Nokia, they merely licenced the name because HMD has no recognizability.

            The real Nokia is dead. The real Nokia was innovative and leading the way and everybody else was copying her. Present "Nokia" (HMD really) copies others. That is enough for you to know that Nomia is dead, only Fokia (fake Nokoa) is alive...

              Will the contract between HMD Global and Nokia be extended after 2024 (the end of the current contract) ?

                HMD needs to poach MANY of former Head of Marketing from many brands.

                  Was he at oneplus when they were still doing the phone-by-invite thing? Thought was quirky

                          HMD, it's software engineers they have to hire, not a new head of marketing...
