Ppl here defend oppo because they do not want to pay €10 more per device or even less?
Pathetic ....
Then do not spend €1300 on phones to begin with.

vivo is only an independent company did not count as a ban, unlike Oppo (maybe realme counts?) and OnePlus was taken down by the governemnt.
That's why vivo is different.

I always found xiamomi weird or odd.. Never had phones from them .. I remember one guy brought older one to phone shop me to repair and was buggy I have installed custom ROM for him about 5 years ago ..
They used to call themselves "Mi"

HMD is another company that pays Nokia to use their name , this way they can get attention from costumers. Who would by phone from unknown company called HMD Global? Nokia sold entire mobile business to Microsoft. Zero was left.
If Nokia was still making phones, they would not be ODM and would be 100x better full of new stuff.

First of all, if they really start "being jealous" to Chinese brands, why they don't just targeted Xiaomi since first time, which has bigger market share than all BBK brand's marketshare in Germany combined? Secondly, a patent is a patent. If a company called ABC hold a patent, no matter if Apple or Samsung use that patent, Apple and Samsung SHOULD pay for the patent to that ABC company, and that company has the right to demand a lawsuit against companies (not limited to a Chinese company) that do not pay their patent.

So why Nokia bothering strangely with all Chinese brands banning ?
They can be separate but boss receive money from both as they carry inventor name and still he/she decides
It's all propaganda against chinese companies nothing else

"if we can't be successful with that, no one else should be!"
Totally doesn’t look desperate and pathetic when the remnants of your 4th holding conglomerate is now pulling a blackberry.
Typical move from dead-end companies that have nothing going on and no desirable products but live on many years old names and patents. Their few employees sit around and occasionally lash out from irrelevancy to drag other companies down. It's not like they are selling stuff that they need to protect.
Another reason to never buy any of their products. No one needs HMD rebadging generic phones for nostalgia's sake. I hope they finally move out of the phone business.
