Like I whined about earlier on the threads under this phone, the batteries inside these Nokia's are weak ah.

Yes Nokia provides three years of updates, but the assurance of the durability of the Nokia phone in question is all still coming from a Finno-centric standpoint.

You would have to hibernate or like work a 6-hour workday everyday like these Finns, for the battery to still be in good shape at the end of the 2nd year of use if you haven't sold it off yet. Or you would have to be a real casual user of the phone and not heavily relying on it to get through the day.

I am somewhat miffed that the battery is this weak as I am on the go but waiting for my 5.4 to be charged to a reasonable percentage as I type this. I am not so sure about the 8.3 released around the same time but I would not be willing to pay that much more for another Nokia (albeit with a 5G chip) with just slightly better specs and a slightly better battery.

Some of my friends that use Apple phones use Nokia phones as backup devices, especially the trusty old 6.2 and 7.2. Why? All because of barebones stock android that works fine.
Some others, especially those who use Samsung phones as their backup phone, change their phone nearly every year or two. Even if the older model works well enough, that's a waste of money for sure. And that's supposedly the brand known for giving consistent cumulative updates for the longest time.
Suggest your friends using Apple to get a Nokia as a backup phone. They wouldn't regret it at all.

Carol, 02 Mar 2023Yeah, well as long as there are people lacking personality,... moreSadly yeah

The average consumer the bulk of the money isn't phone who care about much other than how a phone looks or how popular it is

The media will hype and do payed reviews that never help
Saying we need all screen phone fashion trend
Old features are not needed etc

Like every Chinese brand is a wannabe iPhone
But even Samsung & Google ever brand does some more so even others

Basically pear pressure too confirm too the standard of being a iPhone

All rousted by tech industry payed reviewers
It's what there payed too do

Some of them are getting better and seeing the problems unfold
as I doubt even they want a clood based os phone only that is portless e-sim no pay monthly service too use but not own

They only want camera too be as they all like make videos 24/7 and payed for ads and promotions

So with most the market and popular opinion being fashion trend people where most the money is
Yea people who miss use tech products as u say tech can always be used for evil

Mainstream phone market might actually be doomed
That's sad as the brands people come too like start liking getting worse over time overall

There is some good
Some tech reviews are actually good and
do very helpful reviews on technology and more in depth honest reviews and advise

I think people like myself might have really had a impact on the market
As I have in a way really put tech reviewers on the hot seat

Carol, 02 Mar 2023Yeah sadly apple does not have the ethics and mentality tha... moreAndroid & iPhone they also coexist but iPhone isn't a even a competitor too the android market

I think apple is just a bad influence on Android

All the android brands see apple get way with anti consumer stuff and till it because normal
Apple will take everything away that's not nailed down there phones

Then every android brand sees they have been given the go ahead then copies apple squeeze money out of consumers and be greedy

So by apple existing problems happen actually so like a dual independent monopoly system

Both sides companys can complete too be better at squeezing money out of the consumer it's remarkable effective

There are some people who consider either
But both lock people in very tightly

At least with Android company there is choose of phone brands and favours of Android

But if we look at how phones are made
It's obvious it's probably as bad as it can gets really broken system going downhill

No control at all over are hardware or bare minimum and not much software choice

Phones only designed too last 2-3 years at best
Also very expensive on top

I actually have a friend that always had android and got tired of them, mostly samsung, because, quoting him: they never worked properly. So he bought an iphone to see if there really is such a difference and so good as every apple user claims, well he said that he will probably never go back to android, because once in his life he can actually use everything he's phone has to offer. If found it sad, but in the same time, i could understand he's problem. A guy that does not want to tweek his device, he just want's everything to work, and samsung is not that device for sure. I told him that he should try clean android, but well, is too late😅.

Sin , 01 Mar 2023Do you have a option on Alcatel brand ? Or any experience ... moreBack in the day Alcatel was quite innovative amd had some cool stuf on their phones, were also robust and keeping up with the competition. The chinese version i never heard of so i don't know what to say about it. I do not think that nokia holds their devices patents, nokia bought alcatel network division only, as far as i know.

I've never seen anybody buying them calling them "practical" and "useful" but instead buy them either because they have money to burn or to emulate their favorite celebrities.

Surprisingly the iPhone X which came around the same time as the Nokia 8 feels slow and laggy, considering those used by my colleagues

then buy the phone they actually want for themselves

The iPhone no more than a status symbol in the tech industry only thing it got going for it is runs smoothly on lower end ram & storage specs then android
But iOS is prison and locked down users are locked in too iOS services and ego system and brainwashed

But iOS will surely slow down when apple wants there fan's too upgrade too new iphone

Basically android so fussy and resources hogging it makes the phones feel really slow and sluggish even if the hardware in them is good

Often budget Android phone are truly insufferable and unbearable freezing up all the time
Basically the really cheap android phones that cost around £50 there horrible experience having life with them

Fake stuff is so popular there people who can't afford the real thing buy the fake instead be it clothing phones anything really

So the smartphone market is messed up

Apparently they do not understand that they don't fool anybody about their finance status. Even if they have an iphone, people can still see who they actually are. An expensive phone does not make anybody suddently rich. A rich person does not need a phone to tell her/him who he/she is. The worst are tough those buying fake and extremely ugly gucci, versace armani clothing.

Nokia fan, 27 Feb 2023So they aren't there in the UK?Can buy oppo anyway and look at them in shops but Vivo just need do online shopping too buy one

Vivo are available and can be brought in the UK market am sure if someone wanted one they could easily get one

But without buying one I can't study them figure out how good the brand is and phone Modals are in the same way I can with more popular brands or phones am familiar with
