I love the release monitor. Great way to keep up. With all releases.

What about those who don't use Google App store? F-Droid maybe?

Do you think LG will make a comeback after some years ...?

people would legit buy a 3310 with a modern feature phone feature set, give it a tiny oled/ltpo screen, always on with or variable frame rate down to 10hz or something, and keep the battery and size the same so it would literally last weeks on a charge, lmao...

@@impendio I would be so on board. I am currently using a Sony Ericsson W995 as my daily "phone calls" phone and I thought it would be so cool to have something with same form factor running android. A phone like that is definitely something you would buy only for a meme, but I would sure buy one. I also bought the 3310 when it re-released few years back.

I'd go with premium cases. Rugged phones offer weak value for the money except for niche cases.

Who even buys rugged phones, Zack from JerryRigEveryting?

Question on security. If you use your fingerprint or face recognition does that not lesson your security? So if someone was to burgle your home, render you dead, unconscious of just point your phone in the direction of your sleeping face or touch the finger sensor they can easily unlock your phone and as you put it, your life. Not to mention now that you've digitized your finger print there's no way to erase it. Like photos shared on the net, someone somewhere has your little paw print.

@@EeBee97 If you have good optimalisation of memory usage, you can have 2gb, and it will be as good as 4gb. sadly smartphone makers don't do that, theyre lazy af.

@@EeBee97 I had Nokia 5.1 with 3GB of ram and it didn't lag a single bit because of RAM. Now I have Nokia 8.1 with 4GB of ram, and this is a lot faster than the 5.1 but that's because of the SD710. My 8.1 with 4gb ram usually uses about 2.2-2.8gb of it's ram so 3GB is more then enough. Phone manufacturing are putting ridiculous amounts of ram in phones just for marketing purposes.

@@EeBee97 But my 8.1 isn't using more then 2.8gb when it has 4, so obviously it does not need more RAM. Even 3GB would be fine. Like literally I CANNOT get it to use over 3GB of ram.

@@EeBee97 That's the maximum I've seen with pretty intensive usage. In normal gaming and web browsing it's about 2.2-2.5gb

@Milton Keenes Yep, same thing with my Nokia 8.1 which has stock android 10. (Android 11 in few days) 4GB RAM is more then enough for phones. 2GB may be a bit out dated already but you maybe could get away with it. 3GB should be just alright.

Motorola is already a rebranded garbage Lenovo phone. Can't see why it is that hard to make at least something similar to the OnePlus Nord and advertise it properly. Nokia and maybe also Motorola are brands that can compete even with Samsung. You don't even need to reinvent Android, leave it as it is, add some bonuses to it, a decent OLED screen, and at least a good camera.

Not really been a fan of all the gimmicky crap like the wing , etc , etc , or even annoying curved edge displays still on many android phones that are really nothing more than eye candy with more cons than the Greek islands . I miss the old days where smart phones had convenience features like head phone jacks and SD cards , and dedicated led notification lights , swappable batteries . But to LG`s credit they stuck with the headphone jack for the most part , its just unfortunate they never improved on their support and updates ..... until now they are departing it seems . I remember watching one of the electronic shows a year or two ago , automation , AI and robots where a bit of a theme at the time , other companies showed of their robots that actually did stuff , when LG was showing off their robot , the presenter was trying to upsell all it could do and then he gave it a command to do something , and it just stood there like a statue :) , poor LG , it was a bad look .

@@mikldude9376 I get what you mean, the gimmicks are sometimes a distraction from just making a good phone. I personally hate the "curved edge" displays too. But I still appreciate LG's investment in concept phones, which were pushing the boundaries rather than just trying to fit in. LG is a bit of a strange company, I think they are like a giant underdog because it's a massive corporation yet they are always competing with Samsung and other companies with more brand recognition. They often seem to be doing something to try and get attention. For example, I notice the LG Gram laptop is trying to be noticed for its HUGE (and beautiful) screen compared to other laptops. They try to do something different, which sometimes works and sometimes fails. I think the smartphone market is just too competitive for it in the end.

Nokia is next on line

HMD* isn't capturing anything. Open your eyes and look at what they're doing; their market share gets reduced by every quarter, after that, their marketing is getting poorest, more basic and not eye catching at all. Seems like they don't have money enough to keep sustaining their failed strategy. They're stucked in an eternal mistake-loop. They think somehow repeating their selves will change something, when clearly this is not the case. No matter how you love Nokia, there's literally no argument to defend HMD. They suck.

And they keep the OS so clean, I'm so fed up with big brands putting bloatware on phones that cannot be removed, and in many cases cannot even be disabled, £700 phones with bloatware that your stuck with... Permanently!!!

Hows the battery and the screen quality. ❓

@@andrewdaley3081 Well honestly it surprisingly gets me through a day. Still good for medium usage. Screen is also good. No screen burns, weird tints or whatsoever. 👍🏻

@@TheFridayCheckout The status bar colour can be set by the app on devices with Android M or higher. In Flutter this can be accomplished by calling `SystemChrome.setSystemUIOverlayStyle(SystemUiOverlayStyle( statusBarColor: ));`, so this should also be possible in native code / the framework Crrowd uses.

I notice that it happens consistently on iOS only though, right?

@Milton Keenes Considering how many success stories we see in this category, it's probably not the market to blame, but LGs managent and support. LG mobile division had a huge advantage of having huge company behind them to back them up for years.

Nokia is a telecommunications/wireless infrastructure giant. These cheap smartphones are just accessories to their business model like watches are to Apple or fries to McDonnalds. Nokia is a sleeping beast turnaround play going into a multiple year bull market. Buy NOK! They are worldwide leaders in building out and providing 5G and 6G networks of the future that are vital to our rapidly growing technologically driven economy

@@freeman4788 We are talking about smartphones, if I am not mistaken. HTC is not dead either, LG is not dead - their mobile division pretty much is. But you are right they are sleeping beast. Coma is a form of sleeping, isn't it?

It's not their fault.

I see that you don't know the story behind all of Nokia's problems.

@@jonathanjimson7069 I know that Nokia ran Symbian as their „smartphone“ OS when the iPhone came out. At the time I worked in a company developing mobile phone applications, as a developer. Symbian (on any phone) was just about the worst imaginable experience for both developers and users. Anybody who touched a symbian phone could tell you that right away, it was that bad. When the iPhone came out, and I got a unit to test, I understood right away, Apple just killed the smartphone market as we knew it. Any company that didnt adapt right away would be seeing most of their phone sales collapse. Android came out and the Nexus one. I got a unit to test, it couldnt hold a candle to the iPhone, but it was the right direction. Nokia was still trying to sell Symbian phones. They would continue to try to sell Symbian phones for years, stubbornly refusing to get onto android. Yes, it is Nokias fault. They could have saved their phone empire and jumped into Android as early as possible. Instead they did the exact opposite, stubbornly held on to Symbian as long as possible until their phone empire was completely dead. There is no excuse for incompetence of a magnitude where literally everybody can see what is happening and what needs to be done, but the necessary action is delayed past complete failure.

You are clearly wrong. Just look at the growth of HMD from 2016 to 2021.

Nokia is still doing pretty well in the market. Nokia phone performance and optimization is great. I just understand all these bashing Nokia.

Milton Keenes what about the RCA lineup?

@Milton Keenes if you want best Bang for Buck or Best Price to performance and features Poco is still king its the Flagship Killer Killer.

@Helen Go as intriguing as Xiaomi's hardware offering is there must be a catch and it is their software. It's not just their intrusive ads, it's their commitment to privacy which is none. Because they want your data so that they can sell them. The ones who buy Xiaomi phones are not really their customers, their real customers are the ones who pay for the ad spots on their software ads.

They are keeping up the legacy with the best optimised hardware and software. Their phones doesn't feel like chinese phones. They are building solid premium products. First use the product, then you will know how well the phones are optimised according to their specs unlike chinese phones.

Hmd was created by former Nokia execs

@@harishbista7525 I really trust Japanese brands such as Sony, LG and Kyocera. Apple and Samsung were still good. But Xiaomi phones? The older ones were great, not much bloatware and smooth. Nowadays their MIUI became heavy. Based on my experience on my little sister's Redmi 9t. I'm currently using the Xperia XZ premium.

Thanks for the feedback. We are planning to let you update reviews in the future!

@Tan Jenner I agree that was the best phone they put on the market. I also wanted one. Is is not true that you haven't been excited by anything else they've put out and that, perhaps, is the reason why you may have not yet upgraded to another phone from Nokia? Just asking.

@Tan Jenner I was going to buy a 7+ in mid-18, but found out they had the original 8 available for 25 € less, so I got that one. I sincerely loved its no-nonsense design but its (camera) software left A LOT to be desired. Recorded audio was severely distorted and unusable unless I was using all mics, so no front/back only and no third-party apps, voice recorders included. EIS was forced in 1080p mode and was awful. There was no 1080p60. Ever. Autofocus hunting was just as bad as EIS. It never got official night mode, only GCam ports. Now I have a OnePlus 7 Pro, which I bought a few weeks after its successor was out. Other than the lack of audio port, forced EIS in 30 fps mode (I shoot 60 fps) and its curved screen (I just want a flat one, TYVM) ... Love it.

I honestly don't think flagships are all that interesting - that's a limited market. A really good medium-cat phone is relevant, though. And I think that Nokia's base concept of is solid: care-free three-year warranty and updates. It's just that the phones themselves need to be a) better and b) more distinguishable in this saturated market.

@@bomcabedal IMHO every brand needs flagships to generate buzz and push innovation. I agree with your point, but it feels so much like Lumia days. Half-done, delayed or cancelled flagships and far too many phones in the 400-600 series. Lack of focus, basically. At least the rumored X50 sounds promising. Upper mid-range phones have gained lots of deserved attention. And Snapdragon 700 series finally has chips worthy of the 700 name (for example, 4 big cores of the same generation as the ones in the 800 series). But those 2-5 MP "complementary" cameras need to DIE. Drop them and make a better main camera instead. If anyone could force that change, it would be HMD. Cheers :-)

Flagships are a super-small market. Why would Nokia be investing money to lose money?

For that price, you'd expect at least a 600 or 700 series SD, 400€ is too much

@@lotfibenhammou916 480 has same gpu as 750g. So naming aside, it's pretty equivalent to 600-700 series

@@lotfibenhammou916 yeah but it is said that SD480 is just a bit below SD690 while it should do better in battery life, so that is why I am not against it especially if it would save for better other components which this phones lacks xD so to me the rest of the specs is the problem, not SD480 😁

Happy to hear! :)

@@TheFourthWinchester my phone's under warranty so they'll do it for free :)

The 480 has 5G (which carriers like) and really isn’t that bad. These new phones have bigger issues than their choice of SoC anyway

@@johnm91326 good point about 5g. I really don't know a lot about low end socs so I didn't even know which mediatek processor to compare it to but I always just assumed mtk would be better at that price point since so many budget Chinese phones use them

Been digging that grave for around 155 years. They ain't going nowhere.

Lol

Yes they were unkillable so they committed suicide. First mistake they made was not betting on Android. I mean come on Symbian used Java amd android also used Java Developers we're totally going to go the Java route instead of learning a new language for Microsoft Windows Phone
