    https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/unisoc-t606-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon-480

    The Snapdragon 480 is said too be a lot better
    Then unisoc t606

    Unisoc soc about equal too the mediatek p60 not a great soc but usability for basic usage

    Aww only phone left working you're bother has

    My mum had same problems phones just don't last
    Either battery health or broken a screen or just so slow frustration happens trying use the phone

    I always recommend a screen protector and cases
    Sometimes a battery charge makes sense

    The Nokia g22 might be a good gift it does show some promise and in theory the user can change the battery if needed

    I wish u Good luck

      Carol, 14 Mar 2023Maybe is more stable, they had some problems with mediatek ... moreAm going have too look into this more
      But got rough idea what's going on

      I have a lot of experience with mediatek budget smartphones from different brands
      Mediatek very common in cheap phones

      Nokia is only using mediatek lowest end older SOCs have had a few mediatek processor Nokia phones

      Nokia Sure not doing themselves any favours with low ram amount and endless updates with Android OS and ram hog it is

      I run into limited ram problems mostly with mediatek on Nokia phones

      Topical mtk phone
      Mediatek performance is generally consistent but not perfect stability and less than ideal mediatek

      I did find a post about a optimisation app made by mediatek called DuraSpeed on the Nokia app

      DuraSpeed basically a app killer that force closed apps I think that there was a partition too have removed from Nokia phones for some reason??

      I try too work out what all of the fuss is about

        So the phone has 4go ram and some "virtual ram" how does this virtual ram works and how is it tied to the 4go of ram ?

            We want Nokia phone display size should be like Xiaomi Duoqin 3 ultra (5 inch) size. This phone display looks like ugly and brick.
            Nokia don't change your logo , better change your display size into 5 inch (without your ugly bezels).

Very sad, cause my brother's birthday is commin up and that guy pretty much destroyed all his phones, 7.2 being the only device that lasted more then 3 years in his hands, but well, the device shows it's age.

                    https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/13/nokia-g22-review-a-budget-android-phone-you-can-repair-yourself

                    The 12nm SOC (from a vendor I did not know) is "way behind the curve" in 2023."Costing less than £170, the new phone has replacement parts already available starting at just £19. The repairable design is halfway between the truly modular £449 Fairphone 4 and the £849 iPhone 14, which has been constructed to make professional repairs easier.

                    At first glance, the G22 is a normal-looking smartphone with no real hint of its repairable nature. But unclip the back from the frame using a simple guitar-pick tool and you will find everything is secured with tiny screws and pull tabs on the inside. It can all be disassembled with a bit of care without needing things such as heat pads, knives and alcohol, which you would for most other phones."

                    I would also prefer a fully open-source user's flashable phone, to finally decouple myself as a client to be forced to use a software I do not wish. (spyware, bloatware, unwanted advertising, inane user-interfaces, etc...)

                    To NOKIA I would suggest that several routers vendors have benefited from this, so this is largely a business decision, which may help great NOKIA to be back on the saddle.
                    My ideal SOC for mobile phone would be RISC-V based, with a 7nm or less design rules silicon (low power consumption and lower costs too!), if possible made in Europe too, if it is not too much to ask !

                            Jpn4, 10 Mar 2023Nothing wrong with that, do you need to upgrade every year? The issue is that nokia tries to counter spec inferiority with the updates thereby increasing prices, brands that offer a lot more for less have bloatware and little or not software support, and their bloatware brings money for the company thereby reducing prices, stock Android that comes with updates are generally more expensive die to the updates and longevity similar to that of apple products.

                            Motorola gives more for less too but no updates or only a few while Google, nokia do so.

                            Samsung gives updates but if you notice their prices are slightly above the curve and as reviewers will say that there's better value elsewhere but these companies don't design their phones for longevity.

                                  But rarely phone get made with unisoc soc with enough ram & storage at least this one has ufs fast storage

                                  The best unisoc soc is still a budget phone processor
                                  So this is something too keep in mind

                                    alireza1984e, 11 Mar 2023when the CPU is unisoc, it is not worth buying.Contrary to what most people believe, I think Unisoc chipsets are good. Most similarly priced chipsets use Cortex-A73, A53 etc while Unisoc uses A75 and A55.
                                    Games wouldn't be well optimized for them but these phones still do the job

                                      when the CPU is unisoc, it is not worth buying.
