I don't know whether it is the one, you wanted me to read. I just emphasized about what I believe and not to disprove anything, what you've said. To be honest, there exists the term, "Brand Loyalty" in Marketing Management. But, my point is that this term serves no meaning when the brand is not loyal to its consumers. To be precise, the terms "Brand Loyalty" and "Brand Value" serves no meaning today. It is not the question about being Good or Bad anymore, but, it is about being sincere and honest.

Carol, 02 Dec 2022Agree with some parts of what you said. But others will Not... moreHope you know about Android One mobiles of Xiaomi. But, they never priced it the way HMD does. I talk plenty of things here to make something greener since, I too admit honestly that most of the things are not greener. To your comment about Google's Pixel, I should say that you are simply out of your minds because, you are invariably supporting Google when you buy an Android mobile because, Google makes most of their money from advertisements, Play Store, etc. Google's Pixel is just an expression of pride of Google, not for profits. Even if no one prefers their devices, Google won't bother. To be precise, Google could price their devices lower, just because, Android belongs to them and they need not have to pay anything for their own set of services. To be precise again, what you pay for a Pixel device is way lower than other competing devices. If you really intend to not to support Google, then, you should choose devices of Apple.

Minu, 02 Dec 2022I've posted a pretty long detail under the Nokia X30 r... moreI read that. But, there are plenty of consumers like me who aren't loyal to any brand because, brand owners are neither relatives nor friends to be loyal. To be precise, these brand owners have to be loyal to their consumers to survive in today's competitive global market because, they make money out of consumer's pocket. These brands offer nothing, free of cost. People like me would accept anything or any brand which is really Good. We pay and they give something in return. It is pure business. Brand loyalty is nothing but a sentiment attached to a brand. In business there are no sentiments. According to me, to be highly rational, there can be only one thing attached to a brand, which is nothing but "Brand awareness". To be precise, every Android mobile has its own set of flaws. It is the nature of Android OS itself. As long as Android is open these flaws would prevail.

But others will Not be able to keep the price down with stock android, that is one of the reasons xiaomi quickly gave up on this idea, they need to load the device with lot of crapp, ads and so on. To be able to at least turn some profits. So nope, not everything is green on the other side. Each with it's business model, am glad hmd does not do that. Otherwise i would be forced to go somewhere else, and am really out of viable options besides Fairphone. Google pixel is ok, but google has enough and i do Not want to support them with even more money.

Minu, 02 Dec 2022Agreed, but the alternate options don't make sense in ... moreNokia's C series of mobiles doesn't receive Android updates. Why shouldn't. HMD release this same piece of hardware (X30) in a different name CX30, pricing it lower like their C series (though it can't be as cheap as their other entry level C series) to experience the results? Another important point to be noted is, HMD's partiality. Their device G400 is an excellent midrange device, which is priced justifiably. But, it is reserved for T- mobile. Like space junks, HMD has introduced many C series entry level devices, most of which perform badly after Android 12 updates. It struggles to load apps., meaning app loading time has increased. I speak more about Nokia since, they are the only ones which employ Stock Android other than Google's Pixel. If other brands choose to introduce Stock Android mobiles, I'll no longer be here to speak about Nokia or HMD. To be precise, if other brands choose to introduce Stock Android mobiles, most of us wouldn't be here to speak about Nokia, which justifies that hardware of other brands sound worthier.

Subramanian CN, 02 Dec 2022Though I've said that this mobile is not worth its ask... moreYeah
The hardware is very overpriced
Should of had Snapdragon 870 processor & 8gb / 12gb ram i think
I had too rethink the software support
I can't see any meaningful benefit from software updates all they do is slow phones down too much
I just think android updates are not worth it anymore
I just don't see the point of wasting time & money on work trying too get a new android version on a old smartphones with old hardware that is ill suited for new software

To be fair, I think the 695 is good enough for most users, unless you are extremely demanding with your usage, I think the 695 can handle most tasks. From the benchmarks, it's basically a better version of the 765g. If you were to but the 695 and 788g side by side, I'd think they'd perform identically with the only difference when launching games 🤷

Minu, 02 Dec 2022Agreed, but the alternate options don't make sense in ... moreThough I've said that this mobile is not worth its asking price, doesn't mean that this mobile is bad and I've never said that anywhere, at any point of time. What I mean is that their (HMD) asking price is more to this particular piece of hardware. This device, Nokia X30, should've employed at least Snapdragon 778G+ SOC for their asking price. With this in mind, I've said that competing products (Hardware with asking price) sound better than this device. It is not about paying more but, it is about whether the price we pay is justified. Above all, this mobile's asking price is justified from HMD point of view, because of their commitment to provide Android updates for three years and increasing its warranty period by 1 to 2 years (varies between countries). My question is whether HMD can provide the same piece of Hardware with the existing software without these additional benefits (Updates and warranty extension) at a cheaper price? Updates serve no purpose after Android 10 and most of us will not stick on to the same device for more than 3 years. The Android version that comes with the mobile should be good for three years. As far as security is concerned, Android devices are not secured (even if it is Stock), since it is Open.

SD card solutions has always been needed
There a lot of people with huge storage needs
SD card slots often support SD card up to a more reasonable 1tb of storage
like everything needs it's own apps now shopping banking every website needs it's own apps every smart home device fitness apps etc and then there pictures photos artwork pictures videos downloaded movies music anime games etc
You never really know what someones use case and workload they use there smartphone for
editing programing or artwork or gaming or 3d rendering or running virtual machines
music player or 4k videos recording etc
who knows
low storage amounts has been a limitation on smartphones for a long time and is still a problem today
