That's what I meant and felt sorry about. There is nothing wrong in it because, it is their business and they have got every right to do anything with it. The WOW factor has gone. Thanks again for uttering the words "Overpriced TRASH". The point as you have told is not about the price but, it being a TRASH. If something is a trash how one can evaluate or justify its price. But, still SOME people and I want Nokia for only one reason, for its vanilla Android and no bloatwares. But, at the same time, no one can accept a TRASH. Facts are always facts and will not or can't made to disappear on account of our likes. Nokia can keep on milking on its brand name only as long as it milks.

Having large enough and competent software development team costs money and seeing how Nokia is just milking the old famous brand name, it kinda makes sense. They just want to make most profit out of Nokia branding. And it seems they have no long term interest in the brand because everyone has basically gone from "wow Nokia is again making incredibly durable phones" to "wow what an overpriced trash using old famous brand name". That's how general public shifted perception of Nokia.

But can you explain why there is some reason behind Nokia's failure in update schedules or what might be the reasons behind that includes mobiles which was not released with Android 12 out of the box ? If Nokia finds it difficult to release Android 12 with no custom UI on top, which I term as PURE Android, what would be the so called difficulties that are experienced by other manufactures with their custom skin on top of it. When other manufacturers do it for some reason, Nokia should find it easier to do it with no reason. I truly admit that there is no reason to find any social responsibilities behind their processes but, to survive in the present crowded competitive market some things should be taken care of whether it is Product Management or Process Management. Though most of the manufactures behind various products in this world spends a considerable or huge sums of money on Marketing for products they manufacture, to my belief this isn't necessary if the product is really GOOD enough because a good product will automatically sell itself. The fact is that every product has bugs just because the manufacturer's Product and Process Management are not strong enough. Apple products stands tall in the market though they price their products higher just because of their efficient Product and Process Management. First of all one has to have the heart to do things right. Hard work can be effective only you have the heart to do something to the society.

Pure Android would be considered Android AOSP. Which is open source Android directly from Google's repository. You can bolt Gapps on top of it and I'd still consider it "pure", but anything beyond that is a custom version. And stuff running on Pixel phones is anything but that. Android One is basically Android AOSP + Gapps and Nokia's own theme and that's it. But they kinda fail even on that. You'd expect fastest adoption of latest Android releases this way, but it's really anything but that. Nokia still needs ages to release updates for some reason.

                      I appreciate Nokia's effort of using Android One in their smartphones.

                      But the problem is they fail in optimization. I have Nokia 2.1. Bugs and lags are everywhere. Believe me, it was a disaster.

                      From a Nokia fan, now I'm a Mi fan.

                      I'm done with Nokia.

                        Nokia is the only manufacturer in this world who employs PURE Stock Android to their devices other than Google. It been a year since Android 12 launched. Being a Stock Android employer its really a shame on part of Nokia to release devices with Android 11 out of the box still, when other manufactures have started to release devices with Android 12. I truly admit that Nokia has started updating some of their devices to Android 12. But, there is a vast difference between devices getting updated to Android 12 and devices launched with Android 12 out of the box. To be honest, Nokia's Product Development team is not on par with other competing manufacture's. Above all, I truly admit again that theory is different from practical implementation. But, one has to stay ahead of competition to survive.

                          Why people bother with Nokia anymore I will never understand. I have had 7 plus with issues, no support, glitches and charging port problems. It is a very depressing brand.

                                      I had the same terrible noises at the start of a phone call. The only solution that worked was to move the SIM card from the 1 slot to the 2 slot. Don't understand why but it sorted the issue, but obviously the phone is now single SIM only.
