      Not surprised. I had one of the first Nokia Android phones back in 2017-2018. Software experience was stuttery, although chip was more that capable. I've decided to search for it only to find out it was well discussed issue in forums. At the time Nokia didn't address the issue. They didn't do it later either. I was kind of right. Software was the weak link.

            Nokia have not made phones from the point they sold it to Microsoft. HMD is just old workers from the mobile department of Nokia that just got to make new company and had license to use Nokia branding and Nokia patented technology.

                  rizki1, 20 Oct 2023Sad, the only Nokia product that is selling well in Indones... moreDifferent brand and different business

                    Sad, the only Nokia product that is selling well in Indonesia is the TWS which costs around $10 Meanwhile their Android phones are increasingly disappearing (ultra cheap phone like Redmi A2 etc sold well). People can now afford to buy smartphones unlike feature phones in the past.

                    For Asus, Sony, Nokia and others it's time to make a good low end phone.
