Hmd is actually not new company . It's the company, wich made Nokia phones for a long time. Now, Nokia is dead, so the company sells phones under their own name.

[@lefebvrere]

@Internat-doener-federation Which just really irks me. Had HMD actually made phones just like this under the Nokia brand, Nokia would still be alive and thriving to this day.

[@Internat-doener-federation]

@lefebvrere no. HMD had to pay Nokia, to use their name. So hmd didn't want to pay that much money just for the name...

[@electrician184]

i love this concept, we need more companies adopt this style of repair, and sustainability

[@szradwan]

fun fact: Mrwhosetheboss gave HMD Skyline the 2024 Wooden Spoon Award (worst phone of the year)!!!

sheep

[@samsunggalaxynote3868]

Sheep or domestic sheep are a domesticated, ruminant mammal typically kept as livestock. Although the term sheep can apply to other species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to domesticated sheep. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. ​@@celiskurtis

Mrwhosetheboss lost his prestige with the videos he makes lately. That’s the reason I unsubscribed after all these years. My opinion. 😊

[@pvshka]

An Apple shill would.

[@LiveAerosmith]

dont give too much hype to only one guy ..... the phone is great.

[@randomtechforyou]

Great to see! I'm on my nokia 6.1 and im truly blown by the future design, build, specs and camera! Still using it with a custom rom and they're long lasting. Big W.

[@randomtechforyou]

the phone's from 2018 btw

[@IamAllanC]

Nice to see the single screw for opening the device. Also great to see you being sponsored by a great company. I've been using Bitdefender since 2010.

[@cyrushenrickson28]

Super cool idea to make a phone for people who have basic knowledge of tech wish more companies were like this. Hope to see this as a tend for other bigger companies. Also another great vid bringing light to new and interesting phone idea's.

[@tymekkoronkiewicz5196]

yoooo, that's perfect for me. i love taking apart broken tech, and i never had a chance to fully take apart and rebuild a phone. this might end up on my wishlist, it'd be so cool

[@Ignaciom5]

Love from Chile! 🇨🇱 I am a huge fan!!

[@carlbode666]

Happy new year fella, love this channel for far more reasons than the phone stuff .. thoroughly decent human being .. wish u nothing but the best to u and the fam in 2025 pal ❤

[@sherrilltechnology]

Very nice video someone trying to make a phone that does not have to be thrown away after 2 years thanks for the video!!

[@sakata3819]

No matter how good your hardware is or how repairable your device is, it will still go down to one question, how many years of software update will it have? I think people should demand longer software update not just repairability. My s20+ is still freakin usable after 4 years and I have no plans to upgrade at all but security patches might end next year so there's no point using it as my main phone after that. Sucks right?

[@hedgey69]

1:53 that screeching noise never gets old (it physically hurts my brain)

[@Guru_1092]

This will absolutely be my next device. I love this, and it doesn't seem as sloppy/slow as the Fairphone.

[@metroplex18]

not me wanting to ditch my pixel for this.... this is a breath of fresh air!

[@LogicalError007]

I don't know the full specs but this looks better than 99.9% of the devices they have released in almost a decade.

[@dims95]

So good to see more phones that are actually repair-friendly being released! The parts are also reasonably priced. Hoping these do well, maybe we'll see higher-end versions released!

[@FreeTimeFeats]

What does this cost and where buy? I missed this

[@nadnerb2k]

This reminds me of the first few Samsungs. Removable back, replaceable battery, SD cards. Honestly considering ditching Samsung for my next phone purchase; if they make a high quality one of these with better cameras it'll be bloody tempting

[@avirupmaji3892]

This revolution was much needed in this industry full of main stream devices

[@eugenioocon6922]

Finally a good video with the best youtuber

[@SimoAtlas]

Those companies should be supported more

[@nathonso_edits]

Absolutely brilliant I hope they're still in business by the time I need to upgrade my phone

[@xneisan]

The warranty definitely voids if there's liquid or physicial damage on the components though, some customers are very rough with their devices when they try to do the work themselves and often worsen the condition of the device, so i would still suggest to go to a repair shop and tell them about the phone and the parts on the manufacturers website, at least I would be happy to do it at mine!

[@enzoscarp]

2:20 woah, it can charge faster than a flagship Samsung phone

[@CTRLyurself]

my ears were thankful for the switch to the lighter!

[@Gurpreet_69]

now only if they put good specs into the phone i will definitely buy it

[@mrrolandlawrence]

wow this is pretty cool. What would rock even more is if later you could just replace the main board with camera modules when a better one came out.

[@trfans2010]

And yet Mrwhosetheboss gave the HMD Skyline the "wooden spoon" mainly because of its unique design which I think actually looks quite cool (and less years of software updates). It's just sad that he didn't even bother mentioning how great the repairability is on these phones

[@rodzalez3549]

That's awesome. I might get this phone for my mother. She tends to keep phones for very long and if I can keep the same one and just fix it that would save us lots of money
