Will they keep producing phones under the Nokia brand in the foreseeable future?

[–] limerod@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Unlikely, they used the nokia brand at the start because they were new and people didn't know them. Now, people are a bit familiar and the fees to renew the name is not cheap. They would focus on their own brand image now.

Man they really screwed up that license.

Why renew a name if you own it?

[–] limerod@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They had a contract with nokia to use the name. It expired and now they don't. Note: HMD global does not own the name nokia.

leaked by retailer

Just say fuckin "advertised" smh

Looks like more generic ODM Chinese phones. With a somewhat no-name processor. Nothing to see here.

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 3 points 5 months ago

It is. HMD Global Nokia has been pretty trash quality since the beginning. Bad cameras even for their price class, bad longevity, tons and tons of software bugs that take half a year to fix.

I will never buy an HMD global phone again.

Unisoc processor...awful

[–] recursivesive@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Just another unimportant potatophone.

If it's coming to the US with supported bands, it's dead on arrival.

Apple, Samsung and Motorola are the only brands that carriers will push.

Oh, and Pixel. Yeah nobody is buying Pixel's outside of tech nerds.
