Problem with HMD Nokia is that they still fail to implement wide (if not all universal) 4G band coverages on their retro-style feature phone models. If however they can do just that then I'd be more than happy to try out these models.......

[@HolgerN]

And "Nokia" didn't implement LTE 700MHz Bands for EU-Devices, but for Asian Devices they did + no USB-C plug. It's better to buy a refurbished iPhone 7 than a "Nokia" feature phone.

Having used this phone I must say that the concept is perfect for me. However the OS is veeeeery slow after a while compared to what Im used to in a smartphone. So I hope they keep developing KaiOS to run faster while being easier on the battery as well.

[@sridrawings4510]

It's not a smartphone to begin with so that kind of speed is to be expected

[@bjarrod85]

The Nostalgia!...using the 6300 for work in Australia but had to import from the US. If Nokia made a larger flip device with lower keypad and screen up top. Make it cheaper and with some smart features and you seriously don't need android. Sometimes you don't want a 'smart' device and need a break from all the notifications. To get away from google you've got Harmony OS (My current smart device) or IOS (not a huge fan of modern IOS and security) or now KAIOS. We definitely have room for a third mobile OS now Nokia.

[@AbdullaZaki]

I agree, though creating a new OS without the budget of a small planet wouldn't work since app developers won't adopt it. Look at what happened to Windows Phone backed by Microsoft...

Yesterday I was searching about this phone and today you made video on it. How coincidence 🤣.

Because this is also premium feature phone but in 2022 nokia didn't gave type C and at least 8 mp back camera which I think good if they gave this feature compare to nokia 515. I think 515 better than this.

[@vaspadure2725]

As always, great presentation! But this is not a feature phone, it has GPS, wifi and 4G and, mostly, it oblige the user to accept terms and conditions before use. And when we do that, we accept their access in our phone data 24/24, practically we are giving back their phone despite we paid for it. It's like a rent, we rent their phone with our money and we lost our privacy. So, no, a phone that asks those permissions is definitely a smartphone.

[@chan625]

Good point

[@AbdullaZaki]

I agree on-premise as these are smarter than I give them credit for, but I don't think using any of these devices as an alternative to a smartphone is the best way to use them, because you won't benefit from their battery life/backup/phone call device advantages. So the smart features are better used in small bursts.

Let me comment on the battery life. I have a 8110 4G and a 2720 Flip and the battery life is horrible as soon as you switch on any data connection. I know that this phone is also does some tracking as the android smartphones, but the 1500 mAh battery is not something that is supporting this. KaiOS was a big disappointment for me over and over again, though I hear that the 3.0 version is much better when it comes to speed and the Nokia 2760 4G Flip comes with that. So bear this in mind, this is a very expensive feature phone, which becomes a wannabe smartphone as soon as you switch on the data connection, but then you will have to charge it multiple times a day.
