Push, 13 Mar 2023This phone is way to expensive for what it has to offer. 49... moreDo you realise how old iphone 12 is and how much it was on release in comparison? Anyway, what version of the device is at this price, and is it new? I know it is refursbisbed version 4gb/64gb most probably. Who buys such a device now for 500 euros, must be really "smart". The only updates that device will become from now on, would probably be to downgrade performance.

This phone is way to expensive for what it has to offer. 49k INR for this crap?? Oohh god. Even iPhone 12 costs the same with all flagship specs and Nokia is trying to sell this budget phone at such a high cost? Doesn't make any sense to buy this phone.

There you go, something worth reading from trusted sources. And even they are expresing the whole sale a bit falsely, because nokia brand was never sold in a matter that was owned by ms, ms was also only licensing the name for 10 years, as far as i remember. At the end, you can believe whatever you want, i'm out, have a great one👍

The only company that bought something from ms was Foxconn, they bought the Nokia factories in china, i already said this like twice.... HMD LICENSED the right to use NOKIA NAME AND PATENTS FOR 10 YEARS, directly from NOKIA, microsoft has no involvement into it whatsoever... Foxconn also has nothing to do with what hmd and nokia signed.

You never wanted to start a discution that is out of scope of this comment section, i understand that, but when you state false claims and wrong information, i just can't help myself but to correct the wrong believes. If i would told you that this device is made by xiaomi that bought the nokia from foxconn, you would probably do the same, well at least i hope so.

Sorry, but i am responsible for what i say, not for what you understand. And i never said that NOKIA is a fake brand, or whatever wierd things you say there. Better read my comments again and again, but with a empty of conspiracy mind, or whatever you have there. The new android phones called NOKIA belong to hmd, of course, and they are Nokia phones made in conformance and guidelines and patents that belong to nokia, the "mother" company. If that upsets you and makes you think that nokia is fake, well, you are the problem, not hmd.
hmd is formed tough of mostly NOKIA ex employees, before the microsoft fiasco, so yeah hmd is not just a brand comming from nowhere but it has experience into mobile field, because it's employees have experience in this field. But that does not mean that they bought and owe nokia, cause that is not the case.

I have a hunch that you are a bit to young to understand what patents are and what a brand name means. Maybe that is where you confuse business with "fake something". Nokia mobile Patents are everything NOKIA innovated in the mobile industry, hack the whole industry was made by them. And believe me, there are thousands of patents. hmd has bought the right to use this patents for their devices and the right to use the name on their phones. In essence, for you to understand, this means: ex nokia employees have build another company called hmd that bought the RIGHT to build NOKIA phones for 10 years, straight from NOKIA NOT microsoft. Maybe this bothers you, you do not like the idea, but it is called business. And to put some fire on the wound: almost all, if not all mobile manufacturers, even chinese brands have licensed nokia patents to build their phones, of course not all patents, like hmd, but some very important ones. Like antenna design, camera algorithms, charnging safety and so on. Yes this includes apple and samsung too. Not a long time ago nokia sued apple and some chinese brands for patents infringement.

Yes, in theory it is possible, that nokia as owner of patents and name, has a sudden change of heart and wants, let's say, lenovo to build their devices in the future, well of course if lenovo wants it too, then hmd is out of the picture when the 10 years agreement expires. But of course that this is a far fetched posibility, and highly unlickely to happen as is very hard to think that nokia will betray hmd especially when they owe shares in hmd and sell hmd nokia devices on their official site.
More likely would be the posibility of nokia acquiring hmd and starting building "in House" devices, especially that hmd wants to transfer a part of mobile manufacturing in europe. But this is just a theory of mine, might never happen.

Again, no company will ever pay bills, wages, operational costs, materials and whatever other things from profit, profit is what is left from revenue after paying all of these. If they can't pay everything from revenue and it needs to go to the bank, it is called Loses. The often they come the closer is the compamy to bankruptcy. If the company operetes with profit, it means that it already paid everything and was still left with money.

Carol, 11 Mar 2023And again, you try to escape. Does not matter, let's s... moreMy sentence reads as,

"If HMD wasn't capable they couldn't have bought NOKIA from MICROSOFT".

This same sentence can be written as

"If HMD wasn't capable they couldn't have bought NOKIA brand license for mobile manufacturing and distribution from MICROSOFT".

In the first sentence the missing words "brand license for mobile manufacturing and distribution" are implicit like your implicit attitudes.

Why don't you check with someone you believe like your parents, teacher, professor or someone else (if your attitude permits).

Of course, the NOKIA brand license for mobiles was a second hand purchase of HMD bought from MICROSOFT and which is owned by NOKIA Corp.

To be honest, I really don't know how these transactions were made and its procedures.

Above all, as I have already told, l never wanted to discuss things which are beyond the scope of Nokia BRANDED mobiles. You wanted everything. If you think that I am wrong, so be it. If you feel that I try to escape, so be it.

Through your debate you emphasize that NOKIA is a fake brand which is used by HMD on purpose to seduce consumers. Also, you emphasize more that NOKIA is a name which is not built by HMD but, used by HMD by paying for it. Hence, you conclude that, we all fall prey to the brand name NOKIA which doesn't even belong to HMD (a small company as you say all the time).

Tomorrow NOKIA branded mobiles might become an illusion if NOKIA Corp., refuses to renew their license. I think you want everyone to say "NOKIA branded mobiles" instead of "NOKIA mobiles" since, there is no relation with NOKIA Corp., and HMD.

I am afraid that you might start another argument for using the word "built" saying that NOKIA is not a building or structure to be built.

Whenever I try to end our discussion, you drag me here again and again. But, as you've said discussions and debates are always healthy. It makes everyone to explore facts and figures.

I do not live by assuming, i live by knowing, and if i do not know, i try to learn.

Nope you clearly said hmd bought NOKIA, while not only that they never bought nothing from nokia, they also do not owe the name. To pay a license and to buy a company are two very different stories. So don't blame me of whatever when you clearly try to escape ignorance by accusing me of me of "escaping" answers, while you still did not understand what hmd actually ownes and what it does not. So yeah you're right here, you should not be talking business if you do not understand them, therefore this subject could be avoided. Even tough, you started it, you somehow, even here, make it sound like i started it, nice try.

This one is good, you confuse "revenue" with "profits" and are not sure what both actually are. No company in this world pays it's bills with profit.
Let me put it in short for you to understand.
Revenue is the total income of a company, everything that a company receives out of sales or services offered. From the "revenue" there is everything that has to be paid, operational costs, wages, everything that keeps a company surviving. When a company can do that with it's revenue, is great, if it cannot, well, it means that it spends more money then it can afford, which brings it to laying off personal (the cowerdly but easiest path to calibrate costs and revenue), and if keeps on going downhill, it means bankruptcy. So revenue is way more important then profit. Profit is what is left after paying EVERYTHING they needed to pay. That is why it is called PROFIT, those are money to burn for r&d or wage increse or other goodies (if profit is stable enough). As i already said, hmd turned to profit just about 1 or 2 years ago, if that remained stable, i do not know. But yes it is a big step for a starter company, and am happy for them, that they could achieve it, especially after corona killing their very slow asscension straight in the beginning of their jurney.

As i have already said, i could not care less about chinese companies. If the one that complaines and trolls nokia comments sections stops comparing a brand, with a chinese brand, then the chinese are out of discussion for me anyway. If you actually read my comments you'll find out that i compare nokia with sony, google and sometimes Samsung. Nothing is ok, but is nothing for the moment, quite bad battery life in comparison to x30, camera is meah to say the most and leds do not make me buy a phone.

Every custom UI incorporates bloatware? Maybe, but should it? Nope! Samsung is one of the worst when we talk bloatware, hack even their bixbi is nothhing but forced bloatware. I blame because is something to blame them about, at the prices this companies sell, they should at least have common sense and stop eating customer's privacy for their own revenue. Chinese being even worse.

X10 and X20 get a price cut pretty often, hack they bother were like 179€ for about a week in europe. Well, if they are not there where you live, bad for hmd.

As i've said, i do not care about chinese brands, and i do not find them really good. Paper specs and actuall user experience are again two different things. If you call a device good just because it is cheap and comes with buffy cpu, well...ignorance is bliss. There are a tone of people that pay for this kind of devices that turn to garbage in about a year, if you call that good, you have a problem. And here we go again at hmd enslaves it's customers, meah, just when you said you'd learn from people... G400 was build in colaboration with that particular Carrier and for that particular carrier. I have already listed 3 of it's equivalent devices, i think that there is no need to talk about them again. Sorry that, as you claim, none seems to be available in your country, hmd should care more about this and be carefull how they price it compared with the contry stability level, i give you that one.

Did you just compared inflation and existential products with smartphone industry and smartphones? Doing this is like comparing apocalypse with the will to buy a car that you can't afford. Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds? You do not need a smartphone to stay alive, and not all smartphones are expensive, as you said, there are chinese brands that are "really good" that you can buy, there are sony, motorola and google pixel with clean android, that you can buy, there is fairphone that you can buy, how is hmd using this to force people to pay more?

Anyway from the rest i can spare my self a few minutes of writing, i wish you well, and hope for you to find the device you'll need. I can understand your frustration but you can always wait for price drops if you want a device, and their is always a price drop for a device or another, be it google, nothing, sony , Motorola or nokia, very rarely,for the fairphone.

You actually know what I meant by, "If HMD wasn't capable they couldn't have bought NOKIA from MICROSOFT". But, for the sake of our argument and to stand out, you played smart by going beyond the scope of our discussion to teach me the differences between the organizations HMD and NOKIA. To be precise, you even taught me that NOKIA is just a brand. This proves your attitude. But, no problem since my ego levels are low.

For your information, I speak not for my personal benefits but, for the welfare of our world. Though I eagerly awaited a good budget mobile from HMD, I never have cravings for it. A mobile is just a tool to make jobs simpler. To be precise, it is not even worthier to speak about mobiles or any such fancy gadgets for such a long time. But, everyone gets carried away to speak about such things because of lust.

Good luck. Take care. Bye...
