      What an evil way to shut down business and political opponents and make consumers suffer. Those heedless consumers who are rejoicing, will Nokia ever make a better phone than Vivo does? If not, then why are you so happy? How does this benefit you in any way? Now you have less phones to choose from, so you're in loss!
      I'd not be complaining if Nokia made worthier product, but they don't and won't as it seems!

                  Anonymous, 09 Jun 2023hahahaha, entry-level joke phones nobody buys in Europe. Nokia is the father of em all. No one need to buy any phone . money would simply flow.

                    Seems like the BBK group isn't keen on paying for parents. Oppo, OnePlus, and vivo now.

                        vrvly, 09 Jun 2023I would love EU phone, is there any?Faifphone, gigaset, Shiftphone, Nokia (by hmd). Tough the only ones who assamble in Europe being Gigaset. Hmd is in discussions with european manufacturers to build it's devices in Europe. Fairphones business model is at another level of fairness and will probably suffer if they try to bring it's manufacturing to europe. With all the cheap garbage floading the market, will just kill them because they won't be able to compete and educate the mass of why it is important to care and invest in sustainable and fairness.

                          This is part of the new cold war. The world has been divided into G7 vs the rest of the world.

                          China will slowly recede from the west and concentrate on domestic consumption.

                              Anonymous, 09 Jun 2023Dont waste your time. No matter how many times Gsmarena... moreActually hmd has more going on from NOKIA then just the name, a lot of patents and IT inteligence comes from nokia too. Or you think hmd would be suddently knowing everything about how to build a smartphone?
                              Anyway the rest is truth, no matter how much GSMarena tries to educate this peops, they will still remain uneducated and ignorant from top to buttom.

                                    Oppo and OnePlus also. On gyztop and tradingshenzen are a lot of Germans who buy these phones even without B20.
