I feel like a bit of a unicorn for using a Nokia 5.4. Never met another person that uses any of Nokia's recent smartphones. π
Nokia still makes smartphones!?!?!?!?!?
(Well at least now you know what the problem is. Why aren't they advertising this?)
Not really, the company is called HMD Global, Nokia has an investment in it and there are probably a lot of former Nokia employees working there, but it's not a subsidiary.
Ah okay, thanks for explaining it. Guess I should just stick with Pixel devices, then. (I miss the old OnePlus; they used to be such a good alternative to Pixels.)
Yep, they sure do! They target the budget market and therefore are competing mainly with Moto in that area, and even still make feature phones too.
I do wish I saw more marketing for them. The only reason why I even bought my original Nokia 3.1 and then my 5.4 is because I deliberately go out of my way to keep an eye on their products.
I remember my 6.1 bought in 2018 at a Best Buy, it was a really cool phone, solid and all, I like Nokia phones.
The camera on my 5.4 isn't horrible but it's not great either. But I knew that before buying it; I'm not picky about the camera.
Is it bloatware free like pixel and Motorola or it has some nokia cloud/store preinstalled?
Bloatware free. =)
I don't consider HMD Global phones, because they don't allow unlocking the bootloader.
