Is better in everyway, you can even isolate apps and let access just for the IP addresse's or Domains you want, is just on another level of protection. And if you combine it with nextdns you manage to have an encrypted dns and firewall for free, well i'd actually want to support them and give them a montly support for their own DNS servers, but nextdns is again at another level (i might lie tough, never tried rethink dns servers so they might actualy be better...). Anyway what is clear is that the apps has more functions and better control over the internet access of your device.

I've always used noroot, i haven't tried rethinkdns yet, but I've heard good things about it, but not much about its firewall functionality. What would you advise?

With rethinkdns you can also block apps from accessing the internet, and block ads, you need a bit of dns knowledge tough, but is not rocket science tough, so you should be able to come clear with all it's functions.
You're welcome. Glad to help.

Currently there's nothing suspicious on my phone, regardless I think I will be happier with a proper brand like nokia, just for piece of mind.

Anonymous, 01 Jun 2023Genuine question.
What do the chinese do with your data t... moreI could answer you with just a small part of it that should already ring some alarm bells. EU has strong privacy regulations that need to be respected, EU holds for democracy and human rights. China on the other side, does not have any of these, and not only that, a totalitair ruling system feeds on users data to manipulate or persecute it's population. In EU case to spy and analyse users behaviour and type, society integration, location, wealth and secrets. You might think, well i do not care, as most ignorants here do, but when something happens, you WILL care, but would be to late.
This is just the small part of it. There are many other concerns. So yeah, the best location is in EU or even better Switzerland.

Could it be that there is a connection problem, antenna covered by hand or something in those lines? Just a hunch of mine.
But if you say that others with lower specs work fine, this one should too. Keep in mind tough that nokias get better in time, that also means that bugs get fixed in time. And truth be told, they are slower to release updates/bug fixes then they were at the beginning, i would say that now patience is something to pack in, when buying nokias. They get better but on the slow pase.

I understand that the phone isn't the most powerful, however the processor and gpu etc are a lot more powerful than my original phone it replaced, ( that ran the games fine), also the current phone I'm using scored lower on benchmarks than the nokia and it also plays the same games fine, that's why I assumed it was software related.
Personally my favourite phones have been Nokia, HTC and Sony but since htc died (sort of) and sony went Oled, Nokia are my only saving grace (unless I go Chinese) , that are still making decent lcd phones.
There's only one way for me to find out if android 13 made a difference and that's for me to buy another one back.
Thank you for your reply though it is appreciated.

Not that nokia's can't play games, but they are not made for that. They are mostly for the everyday tasks. Android 13 made everything smoother and faster, but if you have stutter when playing games, they are most probably heavy games, so in that situation, the stutter problem is mostly because of the GPU which has reached it's limits. Don't get me wrong, i am glad when people chose Nokia over others, but not when people chose them with the wrong mindset and then bashing the Brand. So, if you want to play heavy games, pick something more expensive. If you use your device for everything social media, music, photos, calling and other stuff, it is good, stable and fast device. If you want a camera phone, look at x30 or other devices, this one is ok, but nothing to brag about.

MakeNokiaGreatAgain, 22 May 2023What stuttering?Sorry for the late reply, I have already asked about the stuttering/pausing in games and apparently a lot of people have experience the same, so I was hoping android 13 had fixed it.
The nokias hardware is more powerful than my previous (and current) phone, so it should run those games fine. (my time in portia was one, and practically unplayable as it paused every 5 seconds)
