    Carol, 30 Nov 2022Have you touched the device, or talking out of not stoping?... moreAll right fanboy. Won't argue with people who see things only as they want to. I explained it once, there are many better and cheaper phones, better in absolutely every aspect, but a fanboy is a fanboy. Go on and buy the Nokia. And about touching the device, you could go and read the review if you can read and see that GSMARENA says that the build quality ain't anything premium.

When you pick Chinese phone which has better price/spec according to you, actually it is subsidised.. by WHO? by the underpaid workers, by the child/forced labor mining raw materials, by the environments suffering from improper handling of industrial wastes.. Yes that is the reason chinese company can provide you cheap powerful phones - by not spending on these costs.. There is no free stuff in this world.. HMD can never match the pricing of Chinese phones.. But I stand by HMD because of its principles

        Tom209, 30 Nov 2022I'm sensing an underhand discriminatory sentiment from... moreSuit yourself. I am not hostile or against people, i am against stupidity, wickedness and foul play, against manipulation, trash-talking with no knowlege, better said talking with no knowlege, stealing and destroying other peoples work, taking advantage of people, the List goes and on, and on. This does Not include east only but the whole world, yeah i have strong fealings against companies that do businesses the apple way. Resentiments against eastern brands? I have all my respect for Asus, Acer, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic and many others, so Nope, i do not have resentiments against eastern brands, more like against crapp floading the markets with reverse enginiert devices , seeling them cheap to make a name. So, it has nothing to do with east, it could have been North for what i care, as long as there are no ethics and foul play they ain't going to have respect nor support from me. As for Europe, i will always support european brands, against any other as long as quality and ethics are in sync with me and what i want. If not, they go to the bin too...

          Asphalt-nation, 30 Nov 2022I appreciate this little essay of yours. To which I'... moreSo you do like to read yourself, probably also like to hear yourself talking. But your "FACT"'s are to wipe the floor with, as they are as precise as Scient Fiction movies. Good that your troll friends agree with you, pretty much proves how herd thinking works, and why a palm count of people can rule over 8 Billions...
          Nokia 9 was never planed to run on android 12, it was 11 actually. Light is not gone, they abandoned Mobile Photography, and not because of Nokia 9, but all together, their unique camera setup was not quite there, so they just gave up. They had agreements with Sony and xiaomi, and retreat not long before starting a new prototype, that was a year after nokia 9 release. Yeah they promised but could not deliver, but i do not blame them of nothing and am a proud owner of the 9. Nokia 9 takes way better and natural photos then you ever think, yeah it needed some improvements that never came and killed android 11 update, but the amont of detail it can capture blows pretty much every phone out of their own software and sends them back to Medievals. The device was never intended for the mass. It was also not close to a disaster but more like a show off of what a phone can do. So yeah, it is a niche device, by the way, it has 5 cameras, not 7, so you got that FACT also " right". Being tired of going throughout your long comments that mostly depend on what you read 3 comments before yours, having no real facts all together but mostly only bulls... i say have a nice one, go with you xiaomi whatever, see who cares😉

              Going forward, I'll be refraining from replying to you, as your posts don't seem to be just about technology or manufacturers.....

Kind of like all commenters here, that are somehow frustrated that nokia s are more expensive then most of chinaware, therefor not good for them, trash, bla bla. But somehow the crapp they use is also not good enough, cause if it would be, they wouldn't be here, now isn't it? If what i say, does not make sense to you, don't worry, it is not only you, it is a d epidemic in the region.

                  For him, Snapdragon 8 gen 1 is a good phone... If you know what i mean.

                  Also everything one can read, writen by whoever, is geniune as long as the device that person talks about, is not the device he owes, ah ja, and he also owns the facts, i mean they really belong to him... and his Sci-fi world that he probably filmed in "4k" with the great value for money Cyclopmi red 1 powered by android 14 with Private OS 00 on top.

                      David 040882, 30 Nov 2022What same quality? Same recycled-phone quality? Dude, Nokia... moreHave you touched the device, or talking out of not stoping? Right, don't need no answer. It is agreat build quality hands down, and comparing it with 200 euros phones make a whole lot of difference, straight from the get-go. But i am not refering only to that, i am refeting to prety much everything, for you a good phone is a cheap one with buffy hardware on paper, i get that. For me a phones is user experience, call quality, covarage and wi-fi quality, software quality, resistance, endurance and support, at the end but very import would also be the battery.

                      Now you go with your 200 euros chinaware and their 3 TB RAM, cause i noticed that you can't see the elephant in the room, and i'll stick to my decisions, we're all happy. Stay there until i call you.

                          I have not said that you are a loyal fan to some brand, so there is that. But if you care so much about the people then you'll respect them and their decisions.
                          A company to ripoff someone has first to create some kind of entity that forces people to buy their products, never seen one till date. There are companies that can lock the customer into their enviroment, like apple, hmd is far away from anything like that. Also a small company like hmd does not have the power to stand against copy paste chinaware, nor the money to buy in bullk for way cheaper, and in this case nor the will, to make cheap devices so they can compete with chinaware. I do not care what you and the other bunch here think about hmd devices, as far as i'm concerned, i first look at software, clean as posible, then at brand location and Ethics and then at the brand itself. I was very close to buy a fairphone, probably another "ripoff" for you, i did not buy it because it has some problemes that i cannot live with, the rest of it is pure ingenious. So there is that again. To vome here and bash left amd right, iean, that has nothing to do with helping people, more like to puting the brand in bad light, the gain? I don't know, you tell me what's your gain... And stop pretebding, it ain't working.

                            Carol, 30 Nov 2022Oh, the world comes to an end! Where did you get your facts... moreThe X30 has UFS 2.2 - and a rather slow performing one at that. It does not have UFS 3.0

                            Also, the SAR and other specs can easily be obtained online as evidenced by other reviewers.

                            Look - I'm not pro brand. I have NO loyalty to any brand whatsoever, whether it's HMD, Realme, Samsung, Honor, Xiaomi etc.

                            But what I am is PRO CONSUMER and PRO value. I care about people and their money, just as much as my own, and I dislike huge corporate entities ripping people off. If I see it, I'll call it out and express my grievances.

                                  This would've been a great phone if it had a better processor. Cause at this price range 695 just isn't it. Everything else is good enough. Kinda mediocre, but good enough.
                                  They just dropped the ball, by putting that processor in there and not taking full advantage of the cameras. Also the display should be 90HZ minimum at this price range

                                    I'm confident I don't need to argue anything more about that one."


                                    you said it so easy. but have you even held it? . do you even know how many types of plastic there are ? do you know a 5000mah battery with 300 charging cycle costs one third of a price of a battery with 800charging cycle ? how can you say a phone is bad without ever using it??


                                    by your logic iphone se has miserable spec . what's in it ? lcd display , 1800mah battery , nocharger . so we must file lawsuit against apple for selling it at such high msrp?

                                      Let those specialising in manufacturing do the heavy lifting, then you focus on marketing efforts to sell the product.
