Nokia just license the Nokia name for hmd global too make Nokia branded smartphones or offtech too make Nokia branded laptops
So Nokia phones are just all OEM smartphones
My experience is only with Android smartphones from hmd global OEM Nokia branded smartphones
I never brought windows phone

Minu, 08 Nov 2022That's why it's totally worth buying Nokia phones... moreTrue yeah
I did try too buy the better versions
I do agree
base models are never worth it and shouldn't even be made
different storage & ram versions of the same smartphone just shouldn't exist it's sneakly and bad
The problem is every time you go too buy the good version is out of stock so the seller trys too send the crap version instead
It's all too easy for all of the smartphone too get mixed up as well as all the smartphones look the same as each other on top
The normal person won't even be able tell the difference between them
The Chinese brands are the worsened of all for this as they fake specs on top or change out parts from one production sample too another
Only the tech reviewers get the silicon lottery winner smartphones with highest quality parts
Hidden downgrades are made after this for the general consumers who have too live with the smartphones
So many things big tech industry does that really does hurts the customers

Sin, 08 Nov 2022As Nokia can not provide satisfactory products
I won... moreThat's why it's totally worth buying Nokia phones as new old stock.
And try making it a rule of thumb not to buy the base models of which phone you are going to buy. If you had gone for the 4GB RAM variant, it would be totally worth it
And I believe there's some way to downgrade the OS

zaryan, 08 Nov 2022the 4gb variant of g10 is little bit better on Android 12 ... moreAs Nokia can not provide satisfactory products
I won't be recommending Nokia unless Nokia smartphones unless there really cheap like Alcatel
My mum really does hate the Nokia brand
So I won't get her another one
All of my family does hate the Nokia brand for some reason or another
So yeah alternative brand phone it is
I care about the customers not the brand
Myself am very concerned about the new Nokia phones
Am still a loyal customer myself and I guess long-term Nokia fan Still

zaryan, 08 Nov 2022the 4gb variant of g10 is little bit better on Android 12 ... moreYeah
Nokia needs too increase the ram amount in future budget smartphones they make & ideally the battery size
Manufacturing costs of ram is a cheap part in today's market so maxed out the supported ram on processor is the what Nokia should be doing
Also battery are cheap in manufacturing costs
So Nokia should just put 6000mah 7000mah or 8000mah batterys inside there smartphones
Nokia shouldn't really make smartphones with batterys under 5000mah ideally Nokia should make removable batterys and sell replacement batterys
There's are both easy improvements Nokia can make
Nokia smartphones are supposed too last for years so
Nokia does need too future proof the battery so the battery life is still good enough after 3 years & ram for future android versions

Minu, 07 Nov 2022The best thing is to wait for stable updates. Totally worth itThat's what i did with my Nokia 3.1
The smartphone was just old new stock so when i buy it all updates happened in one go all know bugs already find and fixed or at least most of them
The problem with the Nokia g10 it is too modern easy os rollback is a feature that is screaming out load how badly it is needed on the Nokia smartphones
The Nokia g10 is really suffering on android 12 badly i don't know what it was like on android 11 but damn it shouldn't run this badly
Nokia huge mistake with processor & android version pairing
MediaTek Helio G25 is a Low end budget processor from 2020
but it's got the very tall order too run android 12 & omg android 13
on top of all that it's got too try too manage with only 3gb ram
Google also making the later versions android brutally heavy on hardware also android 12 runs badly on like ever budget phone even mid range phones are not safe from this
and android really bad ram management system in need of improvement
i read and seen so many complaints about performance on new smartphones
MediaTek Helio G25 was not made with this in mind ??
The odds are stacked against it

She hates Nokia smartp... moreIt sounds like your mum needs to just manage her apps and tabs, there is no need for 8 or 12GB of RAM for her use case.
I know how it is because my parents are the same, they don't understand dismissing apps or closing tabs, deleting junk files or not enabling notifications from random websites they visit.
The G10 is a slow phone with a poor chipset, but the X10 for £150 on Amazon at the moment is a good deal. It doesn't matter what brand your mum uses if she uses her phone in the same way she will encounter issues.

Anonymous, 07 Nov 2022I love the poor very much than the rich and the super rich ... moreyeah it's hard too find it's possible about a year and a half ago
we bought a Umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram 128ufs storage mediatek hello p60
smartphone for only 135 pound brand new
for my little sister
The Umidigi brand is know for there shocking high specs for shocking low pricing
and stock android not only does Umidigi do all that at such low price
it's a well built smartphone that is reliable & high quality
The Umidigi a9 pro 8gb ram really does blow the other brands out the the water
such a beast a smartphone it is
sadly the prices have gone up so we can't just buy another one
not at that price anymore :((

To answer to your requirements properly, there is no mobile with 8gb of RAM and with a modest SOC which falls within your budget and if you need clean Stock Android there is no mobile with HMD. Hope you can understand your situation. Good luck.

If you don't like any of them, just increase your budget or stop using mobiles. Wait for Black Friday deals to see if some mobile falls within your budget.

Minu, 07 Nov 2022Since you have bought only low end phones from Nokia, try n... moreThe phone am getting is for my mum
She hates Nokia smartphones because there slow
The problem with Nokia phones is they slower than similar or lower spec Chinese smartphones as they get endless android os version updates that slow them down too a crawl
The Nokia g10 on Android 12 is the perfect example of this it can't handle or cope with android 12 and worsed of all it will get even slower when android 13 update comes
Even generic phone we got from wish still out class the Nokia phones in performance in the os & ul and browser thanks too running older more stable versions of android
The Nokia g10 was expected too be smoother than the generic p30 pro or at least my mum's old Samsung j3 that can't make calls at least it can run candy crush unlike the g10 with whipping 3-5 minutes loading times
The problem with Nokia g50 or Nokia x10 with only 6gb ram & only snapdragon 480 is there basically budget smartphone with moderate performance at best that get slowed down by updates back too square one in a year
8gb ram really is bare minimum for most people I get a 12gb ram if It was possible
Sadly we only have 150 pound budget too work with
Normal people only care about performance above all else
All normal people care about is how smooth a smartphone runs in day to day usage and battery life

Nokia is competitive in the sub 100 pound price range a price range where Nokia is value for money brand
A good alternative is possibly Alcatel brand the main competitor of the Nokia brand
In 2022 it's choose between Nokia or Alcatel for budget smartphones in the UK market

You may be able to buy something like Nokia G50 that is much cheaper than its launch price, and it's fairly decent given that it has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
Keep less expectations if you buy something dirt cheap. You'd be impressed. That's why I ended up getting a Nokia 8 whereas I could get so many phones from Chinese brands and Samsung alike for a few hundred dollars more than what I paid for the Nokia 8.
