HMD Global is a smartphone and tablet company that surged from Nokia and now has smartphones and tablets. They outsource the manufacture mainly to China and India, but they are now starting to maufacture its 5G models in Europe: https://www.hmd.com/en_ae/press/hmd-begins-manufacturing-5g-smartphones-in-europe
Only 2 OS updates and 3 years of security updates is too little for a phone marketed as repairable.
Fuck repairable. My Nokia 6 had a broken USB-Port but because it had a small tear in the display glass it couldn’t be repaired. Anyone glueing on the display and leaving that as the only possible way to open the phone does not have a repairable product.
They were one of the few left that included headphone jacks. Unfortunately, they’ve stopped with that, which is a dealbreaker for me.
I thought HMD Global was a Chinese company, that had “rented” the brand “Nokia” from the actual Nokia company?
Edit: I am remembering completely wrong
They indeed got the license from Nokia, but are Finnish themselves too
That’s quite interesting, I also assumed they were Chinese. Them being EU based should be a bigger deal
A subsidiary of Foxconn has a pretty big stake in HMD and are also the manufacturer. They’re Taiwanese, but that may explain it.
