Nokia has nothing to do with the new "Nokia" phones apart from the licensing of their name.

Slapping a licensed name on a generic Android phone in a sea of generic Android phones is not going to bring back Nokia's glory days. The old Nokia did not survive even with its global sales infrastructure. HMD will struggle.

Ah, well done. Already towing the fanboy line -> http://nokiamob.net/2017/03/28/nokia-6- ... lled-tank/
The Snapdragon 430 is a stunningly poor performing mobile CPU. It is another example of HMD following the theme of a cheap generic build. A poor showing all the way around. But hey, it has 19 screws!!!

The "hardware" that I'm talking about is of course the camera.
You can get by with less RAM.
You can get by with no SD slot
You can get by with missing features (who even uses NFC anyway?)
But a crummy camera is forever - you're not going to be re-taking those pictures, and the camera you use is the one you have with you.
