Shiny Dave, 27 Mar 2023Why I stick with Samsung now. Not because they are better (... moreif I am buying a €1000 phone, it is not just the specs on paper and how good camera it has on reviews. €1000 is a long time commitment to have the best experience (even the device needs repairs) even after 3, 4 or 5 years. that requires investment and dedication from the brand. that is why Chinese flagships don't worth flagship prices. although they try to ignore, they are simply placed below samsung and apple flagships. xiaomi,huawei,oppo,vivo still only focus on releasing new phones, not better after-sales experience.

    Hemedans, 27 Mar 2023Man HMD is not Nokia, this one is OG Nokia which spend more... moreTurns out this article is lacking a lot of informations, my comment was based on current article which made Nokia look bad but it turns out they just increased the prices and Oppo refused/negotiated or that they confirmed it's false. I seriously don't like when the article isn't mentioning everything.

          Seriously, look around yourself and find things that are not made in China, or completely have zero components made in China.

                  HMD≠Nokia. It is just the branding for the phones.

                        i'm laughing this article news, its just spread as misinformation. They won't pull out of key in the Europe area, except Germany.

                          No one in Europe buy BBK phones anyway so this is hardly a big loss for BBK or consumers

                            As for BBK pulling out of countries where they have lost patent court cases, they could alternatively just pay up instead of stealing ip

                              Every Nokia story here should include HMD IS NOT NOKIA so everybody gets it and avoids those tiresome posts

                                        Anonymous, 27 Mar 2023Europeans deserve iOS.I hope not, IOS is a shit software (imho) especially if it's the only choice. Hope Europe better it ties with China, because almost all the mayor innovations in the world of mobile phones was due to Chinese innovations. Can't see a Nokia or Apple innovate on Charging technologies or price/quality within the current market, like OPPO, Xiaomi and Huawei have done the last couple of years. Xenophobism and Chinaphobism is high in these comments. Let's just relate to one another as human beings and not be a group of 10 year olds who think the Western countries are the 'way' in this world. Everybody deserves a place in this world, especially if they innovate on technology.
