I was looking for a Stock Android phone and found this one with decent specs. It has Android one with guaranteed security and software updates.

Got good response on OzBargain last time it was on sale.

Looks like this one has NFC and Band 28.

          iPhone 4 from 10 years ago had 326 ppi. This phone has 268 ppi. How is it even close to retina?

          • ChaLuo on 24/08/2020 - 10:16

            @nosrad: maybe retina of a 112 yr old…

    Is this Nokia comparable to iPhone 9,10 or 11?

        but if you buy it now, in five years it will compare to the current iOS

          in five years it will compare to the current iOS

          Not sure what you mean there. Compare in what sense?
          I'm a fan of both IOS and Android.
          But Android has always taken a more "advanced" as in bleeding edge approach.
          IOS is slower to add features, but is smoother, easier to use, and gets there eventually.
          IOS is more mature, stable, but fewer features. It is behind the curve, but in a good way, depending on your perspective.

            @bargaino: My attempt at wit left much to be desired.
            Although I personally hold a grudge against Apple's closed ecosystem, I agree with what you have written. iOS is cleaner, safer, and easier while Android is messier, harder, yet has more choice. Although I'll leave the description of 'Bleeding edge' to those who build phones out of Arduinos and such.
            Android is to iOS what Linux is to BSD😊

      • georgedn on 21/08/2020 - 13:25

  • placard on 20/08/2020 - 21:11

    How would this compare to say a Oneplus 6?

    • Borg on 20/08/2020 - 21:22

      It wouldn't :-)

      • placard on 20/08/2020 - 21:24

        I'm just trying to gauge what this phone would say compare to. Maybe Moto G7?

        I've got a One plus 6 a few years old now, but still working very well, I'm guessing it's still streets ahead of this Nokia?

        My friend has a Moto G5 which is getting very slow and laggy, wanting to find a good solution for them.

  • NeverMissABargain on 20/08/2020 - 21:20

        I have used Xiaomi phones before. Hard to get rid of bloatware unless you root the phone. Having stock Android makes sure you always get the latest security updates and there is no crap software installed. For me, its just that "peace of mind" feeling that matters most.

      It has 3 slots, 2 for SIM cards and 1 for SD card.

  • MasterScythe on 21/08/2020 - 10:56

    Honestly, for anyone thats worried about resolution; its the equivalent of trying to use a 1440p screen at roughly 10 inches.

    Or a 40" at significantly greater than 4k.

    So long as the panel quality is good (and first hand, i can assure you it is!) Its not something you notice at all in use.

    Im not daft enough to claim no difference, if you're the 1inch pixel peeper type, but in daily use and photos they look crisp and vibrant.

    • nfr on 21/08/2020 - 11:55
      +2

      I'm not worried about screen resolution, but do you find it too big to fit in your pocket? I was pretty sure I will get the Pixel 4a, but this is so cheap and it got what I need except the size.

      • rokufan on 21/08/2020 - 13:41

        Me too. I'm replacing a brick sized LG V20 which is a struggle to get out of my pocket. I wanted something smaller, but this is too good to pass on.

      • MasterScythe on 21/08/2020 - 16:33

        Fits in skinny jeans just fine; There's obviously a rectangle in my pocket :P but it fits without issue or discomfort.

      Stock, probably a 6/10, better than I expected but not ground breaking.

      gCam, probably an 8.5/10, about equivalent to last generations 'flagships'.

  • mjcummins on 21/08/2020 - 19:46

    Ah, Listen since this company was divulged from Microsoft, I thought HMD global was going to make a strong go of the mobile market.

    Unfortunately after owned three of their phones I have to warn people off this brand.

    The last try was a Nokia 7 which just died during update, stock rom, nothing untoward, but support treated me like a moron. I am tech savvy and live remotely, so it's not easy to get support, but over a period of four months I tried again and again. Same treatment, like I was stupid and lying to them. ( I have since found out the behaviour my unit exhibited was not unusual)

    Beware, they are going backwards and have laid off a lot of workers to try and stay on track. Even with a takeover, I believe Nokia's days are numbered.

    Not due to the devices, but the support networks, etc.

    Shame really

      Not sure why negged, but I'll second this. I just replaced my third USB module last night on my Nokia 3. No idea what kills it (but once it dies and you plug it into a computer / TV USB port, they give an 'over current warning').

      So potential here to possibly damage sensitive equipment/ chargers.

      There is no Nokia support except for Sydney. So if anywhere else, give them a miss. You can post it in, but there's no guarantee you will ever see your data again, and if they have exhorbant fees if the issue is something outside the warranty.

    for anyone who missed out, it would seem that there are people cancelling them (as per above posts), and they are coming back in stock, i saw a sand earlier, put it in my cart and it sold out while i was having a quick look at other stuff.

    then, went back in again later this afternoon, and there where two left, so grabbed one.
    there is now 1 left in stock for anyone who may have missed out.

    Edit: Gone now.

      Used it from a colleague from work today. She moved off an iPhone. It's quick, snappy, light, nice UI and apps installed quickly. I didn't test the camera but at this price, it's a bargain. Future updates may be far and few but it's good value imo.
