I use a Nokia 2.4 Android one. Low end device. It came with Android 9 or 10. Then recieved Android 11 with few bugs then got a MR Android 11 and then got Android 12 now and it is smooth and usable still as day 1.

Samsung low and budget phones have similar spec with a mega bloated heavy skin.

    Why would i ever want to have HMD phone ever with high price tag when i get so much more for the same amount of money.

    Cheapest G60 in my country is 329 euro. For the same money i can get Poco F3, Mi 11 Lite 5G, OnePlus Nord 2/Nord CE 2, Realme GT Master, Samsung Galaxy A52/52s/53,

There isn't anything good in HMD phones whether in performance, price, dependable support or almost everything. I still don't know why some people still keep hope in HMD junk phones perhaps they are subconsciously attracted to the Nokia label.

                  Redmi cost around 270 euro and what you get with it even tough it's year old. In that G60 price point i look something that is like Poco F4 with SD870 or the Poco F4 GT with 8 gen 1.

                          hmm, 14 Nov 2022They are not next of LG or HTC as Nokia was the first and e... moreIt is like saying that apple is not apple because Steve jobs is not there anymore, or samsung is not samsung because since the first device came out, there literally is NOT ONE Employe left, that worked there in those times. Hack, even Nokia is not actually Nokia because they started in the 1867 with papermill Maschienes and later rubber boots and car tires. In your opinion, a brand should die when there is no one with roots left, right? I mean, Tweeter is also not tweeter because Muskete bought it, android is also not android because google bought it a long time ago. and whatsapp is actually facebook because meta bought it when meta was called facebook. I can go on and on till the end of times. The only brand that's left without interfierence from other corporations (well at least what is known), without beeing bought, without merging with others and so one is the german miele, besides them, i am having trouble finding a brand that was not merged, bought, sold, banckrupt by other corporations....
                          So yeah, this is hmd, and hmd makes Nokia devices. If that's hard to understand, then be smart and keep still, trolls like you are nothing new.. not to hmd this days, and nokia of 10 years ago.

Keep dreaming on how to bash Nokia, you need more experience then this, i mean, there are trollies like you that bought all nokia devices and none is good, now those ones are at the next level, keep it up tough, you can do reach it too.

                                I have owned Nokia since 1610, 2010, 2110 and i had few of 2110 then 3110, 3210, 3310, 5110, 5210, 6110 and then some 4G variant of 6xxx series i dont remember.

                                And from there on i had my first touch screen as Samsung Galaxy Gio and after that back to Nokia with Lumia 520 and later 830

                                For me perfect comeback from Nokia would be something that is like Lumia 520 size that have edge to edge AMOLED screen that is at least 90hz and for cpu SD480 be enough. battery can make the phone fatter i dont care as it had the shape of curve on it anyways, so it should fit at least 4000mAh in it. As the phone can be 10mm thick to fit in the rear camera what will be flat in the case with no islands and mountains like we have with every phone now with there camera islands

                                    zaryan, 14 Nov 2022tell me a brand that give the exact same phone at 165?Closest i find was vivo iQOO U5 - 212Euro
                                    Was pretty close to Nokia G60 specs but the phone is in the market like 11 months already.
                                    For 2021 end these specs were not bad and also the price was not probably over 300 euro too.

                                    But with these specs as on Nokia these recycled materials are more expensive so we dont really saving the world or anything. But if the phone price would be at 200 with these recycled material and these specs then it would be a hot cake best budget phone to have in the market. It be like flagship killer but in this phone sake mid-range killer for budget price.

                                    If flagship Antutu v9 scores are 700K-1M then 400K for SD695 is not bad for middle class that mostly is from 300K-700K

                                      you have to suffer, 14 Nov 2022not even 200 dollars. customers would still not take it. 16... moretell me a brand that give the exact same phone at 165?

                                        Seems like a decent phone but that Moto G60 rebadge of a design is just plain UGLY. Generic. Zero character. If you took out the Nokia branding I wouldn't know which phone it was.

                                        Can't they just put those specs in the body of a Lumia 1520? Nokia had some great smartphone designs in the past (including the N7Plus) yet HMD is only reusing the old feature phone ones.
