RishiGuru, 19 May 2020Do you think these smartphone manufacturers are crazy pumpi... moreMy friend, if they are making smaller phone at the same price not much they can save, but if they save and that is not transitioned to the end consumer the product will flop. On the other side, with compact dimension the real estate to place the battery and other hardwares is a much harder task than placing these on bigger real estate. I don’t mind if bigger screens are given for gaming centric phones as most of the time I or gamers out there use both hands or gamepad. But this 8.3 is a normal phone and hence the large screen does not make sense here. Moreover there are folks who still love compact phones with good features. The problem is only very few manufacturers understand the importance of one hand use like iPhone 12 or the Galaxy S10e. Waiting eagerly for Nokia 6.3 as the rumour suggests single handed use because the market if flooded with super large phones.

Nokia has almost vanished from the market thanks to stupid management that didn't see the tendency to larger screens.
Now, that they connected again to the market with larger screens, do you really mean they should go back to where they were?

I came across this site looking for Nokia and their larger phones. The only reason!!!!

I believe their quality is better than the chinese quality, so I try to escape from chinese market and their insufficient goods.

It is simply lovely to see texts and pictures in larger screens. That saves me from needing tablets besides of a phone.

I mean a bigger display will always cost more to the manufacturer than a smaller one. They could have made a smaller phone at the same price and it would have helped them save some money.

Or due you think there is a real demand for big display phones worldwide and only after doing proper market surveys all top manufacturers are making big display phones? Personal I believe they do not care about old or new customers. They only care about better revenue.. so if their marketing team says make a bigger phone because their is where money is .. they make bigger phones.

And in return they are indirectly indicating those customers who always complain about bigger phones to get better prepared to use both hands in the future.

In the global pandemic situation where we all are confined to our homes, I had a nice chat with one my old friends. Say what, he has both Nokia 7 Plus & Nokia 7.2. He is really impressed with the 7.2 and how good all-rounder of a phone is. But still the Nokia 7 Plus is the better phone for him and still remains him primary device. To each his own. But then the 7.2 was never the successor of 7 Plus on the first place. 7.2 is the real successor of Nokia 6.

So Nokia is sticking with this price huh? At LG Velvet, user are calling off around 400-500 price, While myself personally can accept up to 550 max. But for Nokia, 400 Euro is the most I'm willing to fork for the locked bootloader. That alone deserve 100 Euro off for the long committed sin.

This would be good value if they made it a high refresh rate 1440p display, added even faster charging, and reverse wireless charging.

I... moreThe main reason as to why the Nokia 8 Sirroco is not available in your country, is because the imported units are out of stock. Nokia is not importing anymore in your country. The main reason why the same phone is available in India is because like all smartphones the 8 Sirroco is manufactured locally by Foxconn India under contract from Nokia India. So these manufacturing plants may had surplus stocks which they were not able to sale locally or the demand was not that high to export and clear the stock globally. Hence the once 750 euro Nokia flagship is currently available at 1/3rd the price of 250 euros in India. And it will go even lower below 200 euros when I may buy one.

Carol, 11 May 20201. I do not know who did Nokia 9. Mine was made in China. I... moreThe manufacturing plant details like name and address can be found on the retail box of your Nokia 9. All currently available smartphones in India are assembled locally and sold with the only exception being Apple. But that too is soon going to change for Apple. China giant Foxconn have their own manufacturing plants across India and all 2018 & some 2019 Nokia models were manufactured locally by Foxconn India. Hence my Nokia 7 Plus & Nokia 6.1 comes from Foxconn India.

For the last few years Indian government have started the "Made in India" initiative to drag manufacturing from China by giving manufacturers huge tax benefits. Even Chinese manufacturers have their own plants in India. That why all android smartphones are cheaper than elsewhere (take recent OnePlus models as an example) while Apple products are more expense as import duties of complete units are very high here. All Chinese manufacturers are omni-present here and they all say India is 5 years behind China from complete smartphone manufacturing standpoint while having huge future potential.

All smartphone companies apart from China prefer India as our judicial system is stronger and more transparent. Technology patients are given full respect and copy cats are strictly condemned. Moreover ours is a secular country, everybody has the right to say. So all European, American, South Korean & Japanese companies feel more secure in India. The only thing that is holding us back is component level production. We make some important parts like battery, display, wall chargers, plastic phone bodies etc but still fully kitted smartphone PCBs are from China. It will take another 5 years to make 100% production in-house. With the onset of global pandemic global technology leaders like USA, Japan & South Korea are more active to shift all their factories from China to India (due to various political reasons, lets not delve into it). And the future potential of our country is very strong. Samsung recently inaugurated world's largest mobile factory in India. So they know the future of smartphone manufacturing belongs to India with a strong judicial system in place.

Sometimes I feel sad that Europeans, South Koreans and Americas have to pay high prices for smartphones which are considerably cheaper in India as they are manufactured locally. Nokia, Oneplus etc are manufacturing these phones from India or China and you guys have to pay high import duties and taxes inflating the prices. Here in India we are spoilt of choices, so many companies and so many smartphones. Sometimes there are 10 smartphone launches in a week. Our tech reviewers in YouTube says smartphone are now like daily vegetables in India, with so many options we forget brands and their models. On the positive side though smartphones are dirt cheap in India especially after an year of release with such a high level of competition in place.

2. Nokia 7.2 might be having a plastic frame but don't let yourself tricked into thinking it feels cheap, as it does not. the Glass sandwich and the plastic frame are actually tough enough to not bend and brake like early iphones.
3. Audio dongle does not bother me too much, is a bit annoying when charging, but luckily Nokia 9 is wireless charging able, so mitigating the Problem.
4. Sirroco. I really can't tell you what to buy, as is not in my nature. Al i can say is that the cpu is there, android 10 is there camera is good and screen is good. If you like the device it is worth it as it is not a plastic toy like many of them in that price range, and after all will have great performance for the price. The only thing i did not like at that device was the banded screen, i kind of hate them. But if that does not bother you it is a solid buy. in my opinion. Here is the device nowhere to be found anymore.
