AnonD-1037771, 31 Mar 2023Hey Karen, Just so you know, back in the day when Nokia wa... moreFirst of all,who's karen? Second of all,you made a skin, wow, impressive, nope just joking.
Third of all, the only thing that's dead, is your knowlege.
Forth of all, you have no idea what bootloader is. Nobody needs an unlocked Bootloader to uninstall apps via ADB, i do it on all my Nokias to remove googles assistent and other uninteresting apps. Also use it to activate special permissions for automation apps like macrodroid, you probably have no idea what that is and think it is something to eat.
And the last one...welcome to reality. Well,am pretty sure you're still not there, but well, i tried.
Ah,and i use a 5 Months old nokia x30, as far as i can see is written nokia on it's back, and not realcrapp. So it seems they still alive and kiking, and funny, they turned to profit like a year ago..

    Seems very refined to me, and it's good to see all the manufacturers following essentially the same UI design principle for their own Android skins. Nowadays the stock Android, OneUI, ColorOS/OxygenOS, MIUI and Magic UI look all pretty much the same, helping make the transition between phones from different brands much more seamless than before.

      Hmmm..more of a Windows 12 Mobile😝😜..,but this far way more fancier than the stock android,would very grab one for any easy-to-install Custom ROM😅..(insert)"symbian OS" is still one of the best especially the Nokia version..if you have no idea on the look of it,think of blackberry with a touch of todays "Samsung's oneUI" similarly can observed in the icons..it's the GOD of user customization for me,the time where they're more focused on soft\hard design builds rather than today's specsheets & camera..congrats Nokia

          Carol, 30 Mar 2023Well, not a fanboy, but also not a fan of people that talk ... moreHey Karen,
          Just so you know, back in the day when Nokia was the king, I literally was one of the biggest fans. I actually have proof of this. I used to make Symbian themes with Nokia Theme Maker (for free).
          Proof: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-2D_ISdDZET0HAD1bSabFUuDWhHjdx6X/view?usp=drivesdk
          747 million downloads!
          Just face it. That Nokia is dead, no matter if you like it or not. If I could accept it , why can't you ?
          Oh, if you would actually use a real Android phone with unlocked bootloader, you'd realize that any system apk, including bloatware can be disabled/uninstalled WITHOUT root, by using ADB Tools and a PC. But Nookia (writing it like this on purpose) doesn't offer unlocked bootloader, do they ?

Even... moreI buy NOKIA phones and find them very good, puting them against the likes of redmi, nokia's are superior in every way. From company, to hardware to software. You talk specs being quality? Probably you never had a good quality phone, for sure never had a nokia. So why talking about them in this way even tough you never used one? I could name some reasons but then this comment would be deleted...

                I love that Nokia HMD is making a comeback or at least making an effort. We as consumers need to be liberal to support it even if we don't buy it... We cannot compare the old Nokia with this one because the OS and the consumers' intent has changed. I just hope this becomes a success story like Samsung when they changed from TouchWiz to OneUI

                            Even if Redmi is just a sub brand from Xiaomi but it still gives better quality smartphones than those from HMD. Up to date there is no phone from HMD Global is near even a half of the Redmi K60 Pro, Nokia X30 is also one of the poorest products at its price.
                            Nowdays Nokia phones (HMD Global) are not good at all, I don't know why people are still buying them.
                            You want clean Android? Then go for Motorola

                                Design language makes it sound like Nokia completely redefined the user interface patterns of Android, when in reality it's just a skin.

                                      P, 30 Mar 2023Exactly. Pure Android was their last saving grace. Yeah, because hmd cannot install a lighweight interface on a clean OS... They need to insll bloatware too... Some people are to d to even understand the difference, but hey is good, you can use a phone...
