Nokia vs Xiaomi is like apples vs oranges. Nokia is light years ahead.
like apples vs oranges
Strange idiom to use to compare smart phones considering one of the biggest OEM’s is actually called Apple.
hmm Apple is not really OEM, they are designers and retailers more so.
Qualcomm, Samsung and intel are OEM's.
@ozdesi: True, but my point stands. Apple exists, making the idiom you used an odd one to compare two brands of smartphone…neither of which are Apple.
Lol Xiaomi are fourth largest in the world. Nokia did a shit job with optimisation of Android as reviews have found with this phone.
I had a Nokia 7 plus and their poorly optimised android would always drop frames and lock up. Was so bad I had to get rid of it.
Lol did you even bother looking at SAR rating for Xiaomi phones to understand what shit job even means
@ozdesi: Ooooh tin foil hat person you are, run out of valid arguments I see.
I was giving an alternative option to the Nokia, now you're just being a fanboy. Go away.
4th doesn't mean shit when most of their customers are mid age Chinese barely know how to use their phone
@adrianhughes1998: yeah and that is why no local aussie retailer wants to stock this chinese crap in their store
@ozdesi: Only a matter of time before they stock it here.
And before you go on about Chinese crap, are you aware Oppo and Huawei are Chinese too?
You really do NOT know your shit mate.
@ozdesi: Because it's OzBargain and people list options on threads ,it's a staple of life.
You obviously can't cope with this fact, so there's counselling as an option for you.
@adrianhughes1998: people list sensible options on threads. You can't cope up with sensible options so you need to rehab
@ozdesi: Really? OzBargain has it done all the time and list Xiaomi phones all the time.
You ran out of arguments a long time ago. Give up, old man
@adrianhughes1998: It would have made more sense for you to LIST your chinese crap as separate thread and bargain rather than providing silly option in lieu of Nokia, be more sensible you kid.
There are plenty of phones with band 28 support nowadays in this price range.
@ozdesi: Um no people list other options on threads all the time. Not pushing one over the other like YOU are, but it's good to have options. Mi 8 Lite has B28 in case you're trying to make a point of that.
And no, there's no deals on Mi 8 Lite at the moment hence is why I'm not posting it in another thread.
Checkmate dipshit.
@ozdesi not sure how you come to this conclusion
HMD that makes the NOKIA phones is only about a year old company. How many years has Xiaomi making phones?
do NOT compared it to the original NOKIA that has been around for years totaly different company.
I had the Nokia 8 had the black screen issue as many others and a few other issues
got rid of it have now a redmi note 5 at $250 no issues. now looking at the mi8 lite $310 or
the redmi note 7 arriving soon as my next phone
and at the $400 mark look at the Poco f1 OK no NFC and no band 28 BUT SD 845 this has 3G 32G Poco has 6G 128G
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9293&idPhone2…
You are correct in saying that HMD is a separate company but they also have a very close relationship with Nokia. Nokia basically dictate a lot that goes on at HMD and there are quite a few ex-Nokia executives who work there.
@tranter: @tranter can you name some of those ex NOKIA execs that are there now
NOT the ones that worked for Microsoft when they had the Nokia phones
BUT the original Nokia
@tranter: @tranter you can google and tell us (all the names are on their official website if you want to look).
They had that spiel on their website when they first started
but they took it down when people realized they were NOT execs
from the original nokia most worked for microsoft when they had Nokia.
Maybe Florian and Barry French
@costas60: I'm not really interested in their names to be honest, I just know it to be true. For example, the founder and director of HMD Global worked at Nokia way before Microsoft came along.
@tranter: @tranter thought you meant this one
https://nordic.businessinsider.com/the-ceo-of-the-new-nokia-…
If you meant the new one read below I did mention him above
Florian has served as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Europe at Nokia and Senior Vice President responsible for Sales and Marketing of Mobile Devices in the European region at Microsoft.

No one's saying HMD is the Nokia mobile phones of old, but there is heavy influence there, both within the company itself and the partnership arrangement with Nokia.
Interesting to note that Nokia and HMD head offices are located within 5km of each other just outside Helsinki.
HMD has only existed for a relatively short amount of time, but there is lot more to it than that.
@tranter: @tranter Do you know the largest investor in HMD is Foxconn which is from Vietnam. There is NO partnership agreement with Nokia.HMD is a startup company Nokia takes a % of HMD income for the licencing of the name they have NOT invested anything in the company. If you have details of it please send a link to prove your assumptions.
There is NO partnership agreement with Nokia.
I'm sorry that is just a silly thing to say. Says it all really.
I'm not here to dripfeed you information and links that can be discovered even with a cursory search.
I won't be making any more comments on the subject.
@tranter: @tranter People back up their speculations with facts.
just only one link to say that Nokia and HMD are in partnership
Obviously you have found so much info on your cursory searches.
You want to compare Android One experience on Nokia with MIUI on Xiaomi? Really?
Seriously? Now Nokia is even a thing among Android phone brands??
I think 7 plus is the better option, price beat with officeworks comes down to 417.24, I think the spec is worth the extra $18
nokia 7 plus?
Yep, I also think the 7 plus is the better value phone out of these two.
Where's the Cherry Red?
scroll up the page and see where it says 'This is part of Boxing Day Sales for 2018'
This phone looks exactly like pixel 3 xl , but much cheaper
I'm using this right now. Got it when JB had it 15or 20% off.
Phone is ok. Crappy thing is.. all other version except Aus gets 4gb Ram and double the storage. We Aus get the shit spec version
Needing a new phone , my moto g5+ has had one too many drops… Is this the best phone to get for $450 MAX BUDGET??
Checked the old mid priced phone thread, no updates. Cheers.
Edit , really loved the g5+ , happy to get another moto. But the android one sounds positive too.
Fair price for once, at 500 was far too expensive.
For those wanting NFC, yes this is good option.
For those that don't care, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite with band 28 around and below this price point
