Subramanian CN, 02 Nov 2022I did mention about Nokia 9 Pureview to defend arguments by... moreTalking about the Nokia 9 Pureview
we need to take into account release date and pricing
in 2019 i think it was kinda bargain
The main reason no android 11 on nokia 9 pureview is bad is because of broken promise
by nokia on there best smartphone
Nokia 9 PureView owners will get a discount on a budget phone instead of Android 11
so Nokia did try too make it better
Realistically
android 10 still supported version of android So Nokia flagship still plenty of life left
I don't think android updates are all that impotent android updates just added extra features and settings that's nice but they also slow smartphones down a lot and take up storage a lot of the storage in a smartphone
running a older version of android a smartphone will be just fine and still functional for years too come
it's the battery hearth people should really be worried about as it is much bigger problem
for old smartphones maybe free battery change would of been a better way too make it up too the Nokia 9 pureview customers
In todays market the nokia 9 pureview
it holds too much of its value for late buyers in 2022 too get a good deal buying one today
i don't think the google
Google Pixel 6a or Google Pixel 7 any good they are way too overpriced and google tensor
is a downgrade from otherwise best processors of there time period
The google pixel phones used too be good and had snapdragon processors
and lost a lot of there value making them ideal for late buyers
google pixel 2 3 & 4 was often great deal for late buyer because of low price flagship
snapdragon processors and good software support
Brands like Sony Fairphone motorola & Umidigi also make stock android smartphones
so people have a few options
Sony is making flagship stock android smartphones
The Sony smartphone have really good screens & flagship hardware
in 2022 Sony is best high end option for stock android

Above all, my statements are not final because, everyone has got their own set of likes and dislikes. The world reads both of our messages including HMD. Let them decide what to do.

Subramanian CN, 01 Nov 2022Firstly, I never spoke about other brands though honestly, ... moreSorry if you miss understood me, i was not contradicting you, just included my opinion and experience. I actually do not find Pixel6a to be better, i also find the claim that google has the best camera in android to be more of a legend and not a reality, yeah, they have this better AI algorithms, but not everybody likes computer made pictures. I always turn hdr off and when i want to get serious i always use Pro mode in nokia devices. For a fast snap, that's not that important, cause if it will be i would first set up the pro mode for the light and enviroment am in, the x30 does great, not perfect, but good enough to call it a day. Google tensor, was a flop, in my opinion, a lot of overheating and throttling because of that, i do not know how Google Tensor G2 in Pixel 7 will prove to be, but i'd avoid the first one with a passion.
Yes, Pixel devices are a direct contender to Nokia and newly, motorola, out of them all, i would go for nokia just because i want to support european brands, then commes the other stuff i mentioned. With motorola i had experience a long time ago, those times where they were still USA Brand, since the chinese took over, am not that intersted anymore. But they do some ok products.

I know the reasons behind the Android update failures of Nokia 9 Pureview which is really fatal, the reason why I don't want to blame HMD. Still for the sake of discussion and to justify my arguments, I need to mention it.
Now, the thing is not about Nokia 9 Pureview but, is about this device. Also, it is true that Android updates from HMD are sluggish and late. This is not justifiable because Nokia devices employ clean Stock Android with no Custom UI and since Android updates have become simpler after Google's introduction of Project Treble. The thing is not about how well this device is or how well it performs but, it is about how well it stands before competition and about its value proposition against similar competing brand, the Pixel. This comparison shouldn't be made with other brands because none of the other competing brands employ clean Stock Android other than Google. Honestly, this device is not on par with Google's Pixel 6a which is priced lesser than this device. This device is priced like a flagship device though it is not. Consumers who can afford to buy this device can very well opt even the Google's Pixel 7 which is still more valuable. We can't prick our eye with a golden needle just because it is gold.

Subramanian CN, 01 Nov 2022Firstly, I never spoke about other brands though honestly, ... moreJust wanted mention
I think Nokia did the right thing with the Nokia 9 pureview
It's sad it will never get Android 11 but ever brand mess up at something or another Nokia just focus too much on camera that ended up backfire
The Nokia 9 pureview camera was developed by a camera company that help make the camera and software for the Nokia 9 then the company left the market leaving Nokia with the overly complex camera too deal with supporting on AndroidOne that Google made also not helping either
So Nokia was left on there own too deal with big problems
It was too much of a challenge for Nokia too overcome updating the smartphone and making the camera work on new Android version so the Nokia 9 stays stuck on Android 10 broken promises for people who brought it but it's not the end of the would
Maybe Nokia could of updated it too android 11 but it be a buggy mess with problems with the overly complex camera unless Nokia spend a lot of money and time fixing the problem
In short don't break what not broken
It's clear the Nokia 9 pureview was ahead of it's time now all smartphones have multi cameras for better or worse

You seem too have really good experiences with Nokia
I don't consider Nokia brand too give this kinda support or warranty kinda middle of the road
First I tried too buy generic k-touch i9 mini smartphone with 3gb/32gb but sold out they offered there flagship mini smartphone instead i had too demand my money back
So I tried buy brand name directly from Nokia
I brought there Nokia 3.1 3gb/32gb new £135 but they lost the smartphone then was sold out
So they tried too send me there Nokia 3.1 16gb/2gb plus 16gb SD card instead
That was refused rather fast by me
At least the refund was fast this time
Why can't I just get the smartphone I pay for??
I can't stand it if the modal I pay for is not what I get
Ended up getting a Nokia 3.1 2gb/16gb £50 new but from other seller this seller was good
I do like the Nokia smartphones and installation manual that comes with them so helpful the manual is but Nokia support nether awesome or terrible

It's only 29$ it's a budget smartphones but the specs are amazing for the price 3gb/32gb and mediatek so much too like about the design also
The smartphone is sluggish of course it runs android 12 all smartphones that run the latest version of Android pay the price with the burden of running heavy new Android os software
Same problems though would love too buy one but is Carrer locked and for us market the Nokia c100 unfortunately

Minu, 31 Oct 2022I think this strategy makes people buy premium products at ... moreYeah it seems too work but it's not ideal strategy lg used too do the same thing
I had too do a lot of research find why reviewers give bad reviews of Nokia smartphones it's because there reviewed at a higher price tier but end up selling at a lower price tier
although reduced price works and sells it does make Nokia smartphones look bad in comparison too there competitors at release date when there is all of the hype
it puts Nokia smartphones at lunch date and reviews rather unfavorable so weak point get more blame and strengths look less good

Nokia G400 is an excellent device but, HMD don't want to launch it globally. Even if HMD launches it globally, their asking price would be higher, though they offered it cheaper to T-Mobile.

Carol, 01 Nov 2022I said "flaghippy" but i could name some stuff th... moreFirstly, I never spoke about other brands though honestly, there are various devices from other brands which employs better hardware than this device. I spoke only about Google's Pixel 6a. Hope you know that Google offers same, better and faster software support (3 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates) than HMD and Pixel is the first device to get the update. Since you spoke about the camera, everyone knows that Pixel has a better camera than any other Android device, though some flagship devices from different brands compete for the same. Though HMD do really say that they offer software updates and services, their updates are always late though it is better to be late than never. Also, HMD ditched Nokia. 9 Pureview. In spite of all these, I do not want to blame HMD. Instead, I just recommend some other better options available to the consumers. As I am a consumer, I would like to be on the side of consumer and not with HMD or with some other organization. Of course, I admit the user experience of Stock Android, the reason why I compared this device with Pixel 6a. If you are really good at heart, you could admit this. This device is not on par with Pixel 6a (in any aspect) which is cheaper than this device. I believe that Pixel 6a CPU is better than the CPU of this device. Even, HMD wouldn't deny that. I never commented about bugs in any of the devices in any of the brands but, I just spoke about the value proposition.

Subramanian CN, 01 Nov 2022Do you mean to say that this phone employs flagship hardwar... moreI said "flaghippy" but i could name some stuff that are more flagship then not:
Flagship grade cameras and camera software, i dare to call it better then a lot of cajeras in flagship devices.
Flaghip grade Storage and RAM, ufs version 3 for the 8GB version. Version 4 is like a month or two old, but how many flagships have this storage and how much they cost?
Clearly flagship quality enclousure, there are flagships that do not feel and are not this premium as this device. Not even close.
Flagship grade connectivity, call quality, vibration Motor.
Even tough some call the speaker thin, i find i good for any flagship device, and never heard huge differences between what some call great and what they call bad, complaiments about the speaker quality are more made up then have a point, my opinion at least.
Flagship grade support and warranty offering.
At last but not least, good user experience overall. Of course a faster CPU makes it all look better on paper, but i actually like the fact that i can use it without worying about battery, so this days i really do not know what i would call a flagship, a faster cpu or a more efficient one, minding the fact that i do not play games on such screens, i could not care less about that great gaming experience while not that great of a battery. So as long as the device works and i do not encouter a laggy experience, while being stable, i am satisfied. It does have some bugs that they should have fixed before releasing, but well, it is less then a Month old and what android does not have bugs?

Honestly, this mobile is not worth its price. But, my comment isn't worthier if there are no choices. Hence, the best option would be the Google's Pixel 6a or Pixel 7. I can compare this device with other brands only if other brands employ Stock Android because, Stock Android is the only reason which can justify purchasing Nokia devices.
