someone123, 07 Sep 2020I agree. I still start up an old WP7/WP8 phone from time... moreI so can attest to that. When I got my Lumia 830 as my first ever Windows Phone device back in July 2016, I am totally astounded at just how smooth and fluid WP 8.1 OS despite only having 1GB RAM and running Snapdragon 400 chipset. Even when I updated the device to Windows 10 Mobile, it still shows no sign of performance lag, and that's before I Interop unlocked the phone and increase the virtual memory up from 256 MB to 1.87 GB. Needless to say, it has completely win my heart to this day.

Kriegsherr, 06 Sep 2020I would say till 2014-15 the price of phones were not that ... moreMy question, where is it gonna stop? We ain't getting richer, but poorer.
For 1300$, you can buy a PC that can play just about anything on good graphics. Or you can buy a phone that you won't use at all when it comes to it's real features.
Nobody takes pictures, nobody takes movies, nobody needs the s pen, nobody needs all of it's features (don't tell me "I do need all of those", if you do, then it's either your job or your hobby, which is not a common thing to do on a phone, as you can buy a camera, or a graphic tablet, cheaper and better for a hobby) so what's it meant for? I'm afraid to make a mistake and buy the rog over an iphone or a sony. Come on phones are supposed to be a pleasure, not a wallet emptier

https://www.bbc.com/... moreMost big companies cross-license their technology, a modern product is full of little fees from big players.
I guess apple tried to pull an epic move there and stop paying licensing fees to Nokia.
It might also happen that companies forget - it almost happened to a product that I've been working on, in a big-ish company, that we forgot it had WMA support which had to be paid to MS. Basically every logo on a unit has to be paid for: MP3, DVD, USB, SD, Dolby, ...

What has Xiaomi done for themselves apart from selling cheap phones? The 108mp camera sensor was a big gimmick and was co-developed with Samsung (aka Samsung made it and Xiaomi put money to have access to it).
Even Huawei has at least tried to shake things up with some of their stuff.

No... moreI agree.
I still start up an old WP7/WP8 phone from time to time and surprised by how well it runs with 512MB of RAM, animations and all. Meanwhile, all my Android phones with

For now since 2016, we are getting incremental upgrades and huge prices for all OEMs and they make so much money. I think thats their strategy to reserve all of their cool and innovative features and release out to the world when the time is right. Wait for another few years everyone, then a revolution in smartphone will happen.

Nokia as a phone company (not the new HMD) is not someone that Apple can use their patent troll tactics on.

Mobilemaster, 06 Sep 2020In the early 2000's, Nokia was an innovating company. ... moreSymbian OS was far away better than Android, that needed to improve only the UI for a better use, problem with Nokia was rather hardware, low memory and outdated CPU with little speed clock. Only trolls of android who thought , all phone with this OS will be better. If Nokia used the same hardware, android will not have this big audience, and also Nokia was sanctioned by USA to abandon their OS, exactly like Blackberry, to choose one from USA. They sent a trojan horse to sabotage this company so that she abandons her favorite OS with help of some shareholders of Nokia, When this company was destroyed, Symbian dead, these shareholders received big money and was placed in other big companies.

So it made in Germany, USA so what? High labor cost does not equal to quality. Look at US manufacture cars... A close cousin of French auto makers.

Anonymous, 06 Sep 2020More than 1000 dollars,really..These wear made in Europe, Finland. Motorola's were made in the USA, UK, Germany etc. Because made in Western countries justifies the prices rather than Taiwanese or Chinese made 1500$ current phones. Also firms used to made their own OS rather than third party Androids. I think phones used to be cheaper and better than today.
