Solih, 09 Jun 2023nokia please dieI dont like Nokia under HMD, but in this case its clearly BBK's fault for not wanting to pay Nokia Corp (different entity from HMD and the patentholder suing BBK) for using patented techs. Other OEMs like Xiaomi, Samsung and Apple are paying Nokia Corp too, so its really BBK being petty.

    is it pronounced, vee-vo or vie-vo

        Solih, 09 Jun 2023nokia please dieLol...BBK was using Nokia's technology illegally. It's a great job by Nokia to stand up for itself and show those big brands that they cannot do anything they want

            Feem, 09 Jun 2023Apple’s smiling rn. Getting closer to a monopoly every day istgSo, people that no longer can buy BBK phones have many other brands to choose and still use android.
            No one is forced to buy Apple.

              Anton-, 09 Jun 2023Because? Why try to rob him and they only defended themselv... moreDont waste your time.

              No matter how many times Gsmarena says this is about Nokia and not HMD, some ppl here still think it is HMD against BBK. They think HMD is mobile division of Nokia same way Oppo/Vivo/Realme/OnePlus are phone business of BBK, when HMD just pays Nokia to use the name.

                I would love EU phone, is there any?

                  notafanboy, 09 Jun 2023Imagine thinking this is good.Imagine thinking that not paying patent fee/license is good.

                  Vivo deserves it.

                  I must celebrate. Hope vivo closes all its stores outside China.

                        They'll pay the fine, start paying for patents and come back. This is not a permanent exit

                          Another one bites the dust

                            Same in Poland. It is always a bad thing for customers to have fewer choices, so this is sad news.

                              Bye bye Vivo ... All good with me

                                I would still import a vivo X Note 2 or 3 AS my next phone
