        S, 30 Jun 2023Another marketing stunt - Easy repair. What will be the co... moreIt's not a marketing stunt, it's an absolutely brilliant idea that Nokia / HMD came up with. If this idea came from Chinese makers you would be drooling over it. What are the components that need replacing most of the time? Charging port, battery, screen, crackled back cover, audio jack. These components do not cost that much, and the brilliant thing is, you don't have to send your device away and wait for weeks to get it repaired. You repair it at home in an hour or so. You don't have to pay for repairs either. That is what brilliant about it. Nokia phones are renowned for longevity and this brilliant stunt, as you call it, adds up to Nokia's longevity fame.

          Friend, 29 Jun 2023G400 vs G42.They look exactly the same, don't they?

            Carol, 29 Jun 2023Why don-t you buy it from amazon.com or whatever amazon is ... moreWell, Amazon and most of the popular marketplaces do not ship to my location. Some sort of a workaround is needed to get anything shipped here, which I may try with a cheaper C Series Nokia model. The local marketplaces do not have Nokias, save a couple of basic Nokia feature phones. A little bit more info and I would be giving away my location, which I'd rather not. I like privacy and secrecy online. Anyhow, I prefer physically testing and comparing phones in my hand before I buy them. The thing is, I make up my mind at the last moment in the shop, the exact model I am going to buy. Will it be X30, XR21, G60 or maybe Nokia releases an affordable flagship soon, and I'll buy that. For now, I am leaning towards XR21, and saving some dough.

              Another marketing stunt - Easy repair.
              What will be the cost to repair?
              Answer - prbably between 10 to 50 percent of the phone's price.
              At 10 to 25 percent cost some people will repair as they do with other phone.
              At 25 to 50 percent cost they will think again and again - is repair justified or not ?

No need to be scared of online ordering anymore if you order from a trusted website.

                    Come on Nokia 👏👏 good job.
                    Our score is 9/10. Minus 1 is for hd+ display. For this price you can give at least fhd display.
                    Mediatek 5g cpu also best. Nowadays other mobile (xiaomi , oppo , moto , vivo , realme , redmi) companies are using this latest mediatek cpu. This cpu heating issue is very low and low price with advance technology, compare to qualcomm (manufactured by samsung) and exynos cpu.

                            I don't know why they aren't on GSMArena, but they might be added at some point. For example Cubot just got added recently.

                                No they don't, they themselves are an ODM. ODM stands for Original Design Manufacturer.

                                As for Xiaomi, they are both an ODM and an OEM. Same with Samsung for example.

                                OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.

                                      Two years of OS updates ? What are you smoking HMD Global ? That's pathetic and it gets worse with a crappy SD480+ which struggles to keep up. Offering 4GB RAM is a cruel joke as it will crawl with Android 13.

                                      What a pack of cheap morons. Put a decent SoC and adequate RAM in your phones for farks sake.
