what a big lie, almost all devices up to 150 euros from many manufacturers are produced in exactly the same model with very small differences and not because they will be easy to repair - it is cheap to produce this way, hmd's advertising is aimed at those who do not know nothing about smartphone repair

    zaryan, 26 Feb 2023Let me tell you something, this virtual ram bs is just a ma... morevirtual ram capacity having the opinion too turn it on or off is still a improvement

    I really hope it makes a difference or at least a small one one

    It's definitely not a good as petting in 8gb real ram capacity that the unisoc t606 supports

    Yeah am sure it helps with marketing add virtual memory ram capacity too overall amount

    Still usually a tiny bit of storage space for a lot of extra ram swooping space is a good feature and useful one

    Maybe the benefits are small from but still it's a smart way easily improve performance at least
    And highly cost effective the os is running off ufs 2.2 storage this time much better than emmc

              Otherwise the phone itself is trash

                This is the reason why my next phone will be Samsung after my G21 grows old.

                        CompactLover, 26 Feb 2023it is commendable of nokia to take this step.however, t606 ... moreThe great idea G22 hats off to HMD & the Great Japan. Now a days changing every mobile over 3 years, is not at all goid for pocket as well as environment. In the present scenario, the WOLD is seeing SUSTAINABILITY

                          it is commendable of nokia to take this step.however, t606 would at most, stay for a year.the spec is not worth keeping for a long run.if they make their mid range phone repairable, that would be the better step

                              People claiming that the T606 is unusable are ignorant

                              The g37 from mediatek is much worse

                              This t606 is the bare minimum performance that should be legally allowed...it should the the industry standard for bare minimum... Period

                              No g30 series is worth it

                                  Hahahaha you gotta laugh at this why would you want to repair this bloody thing.

                                    Repairable phones will always be trash. It's in OEMs' interests to have people buy new models rather than just a new battery every few years.

                                    It's the same with the Fairphone or even the Pinephone. The former has a massive teardrop and the latter massive bezels. Why would anyone want to tolerate those for 5+ years, especially when they're not cheap?

                                      Am really pleased too see this
                                      important improvement For repairability

                                      Although this smartphone probably perhaps not class as user replaceable battery's

                                      It's possible too repair the phone without needing too much skill I look forward too seeing ifixit rating

                                      In terms of hardware specs there's phone are sluggish devices

                                      But still at least the badly needed and very much necessary virtual memory ram feature is added

                                      Software optimization I said where needed actually happened virtual memory ram in order too expand the overall ram capacity by using storage as swoop space

                                      So pleased see this feature on new Nokia phones
                                      I really hope it helps with performance on budget Nokia phones

                                      Hopefully a easy os rollback feature gets added also
                                      As OS updates don't always make a phone better sometimes a update can be the problem

                                      Anyway
                                      Looks promising I do hope there phones are affordable
                                      In theory

                                      The Nokia g22 should be reasonable > budget phone <
                                      With hopefully good enough performance
