20 September 2023
The action is due to Xiaomi's growing market share in Russia.

    Are minions already blaming Apple again?

      Being called a sponsor for war for selling phones is crazy. They wouldn't say that against companies selling in Palestine, or any other aggressive country. Politics over common sense ig :)

        Zero, 20 Sep 2023Aparently this happened with the HMD with their own brand launch.If that would of happened to HMD then they could not sell there HMD branded too.
        Nokia brand loan contract probably gets over in coming few years and they cant probably extend it so they have no other choice then to brand there phones under HMD if they want to still produce phones

          AnonD-1044551, 20 Sep 2023They haven't yet. But as you can see their hands have ... moreSo currently they get ban for nothing.

                  Zero, 20 Sep 2023Aparently this happened with the HMD with their own brand launch.HMD contract with Nokia starts to end and they probably cant get the contract extended to use there brand name is why they start to make phones under the HMD brand.
                  While i was not talking about HMD as otherwise i would of mentioned HMD that is just a random brand that loans the brand name and have access to use the patents of Nokia

                    Meh. I doubt this had significant impact to Xiaomi anyway. I mean what's Xiaomi's marketshare in Finland? And I doubt it's growing either. In fact, this should be a reminder to Xiaomi, to focus on less hostile markets where they have growth.

                        If the Finnish government can take actions that would prevent the growth of Apple and Samsung as a result of Xiaomi's ban, then it's ok.

                                  I'm sure that finns can get Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco devices online. All they're doing is cutting their sales to gain a few political points.
